Thin by design, intrinsically strong. Akzéntz Forte Builder Clear is a HEMA-free hard gel builder that brushes on from a bottle and self-levels into thin, crystal-clear overlays and short extensions. It gets its strength from advanced polymer architecture, not added bulk, so your sets feel light and look refined while delivering the durability of a professional hard gel. It's made for working nail techs and serious hobbyists who want hard gel results at bottle speed.

  • Strong without bulk: exceptional rigidity and high strength in a thin, elegant coating
  • Self-leveling: flows into quick, precise overlays and short extensions, cutting service time
  • Crystal clear: free from haze, cloudiness or distortion
  • Lightweight feel: durable structure clients barely notice
  • Fast cure: 30 seconds in an LED light
  • Clean formula: 100% Pure Gel™, HEMA-free, TPO-free and 10-free
  • Cruelty-free and vegan: a product of Canada
  • Size: 15ml / .5oz

Hard Gel Strength, Bottle Speed

Traditional hard gels are strong but slow to work with from a pot, and thinner bottle builders can trade away durability. Forte closes that gap. Its self-leveling formula goes on quickly and evenly from the bottle, then cures into a smooth, thin, hard coating with exceptional rigidity. The result is a seamless enhancement with the strength and reliability of hard gel, without the thickness.

Forte was inspired by the balance of strength and lightness found in the advanced ceramics used in fine watchmaking and aerospace engineering: a thin, hard layer that reinforces the natural nail without unnecessary bulk.

Part of the Forte® System by Akzéntz

Forte Builder goes over Forte Base, the flexible hard gel base coat that bonds to the natural nail and absorbs everyday stress to help prevent lifting. Finish with Diamond Shine-On Top Gloss when you file, or simply wipe for a high-gloss shine when you don't. Each layer cures in 30 seconds in an LED light, and Forte is fully compatible with all Akzéntz gel systems, including Prescription Base Coats, Shine-On™ and Diamond Shine-On™.

Who Is Forte Builder For?

  • Structured gel techs who want thinner, stronger overlays
  • Hard gel techs who want to work faster from a bottle
  • Techs who prefer HEMA-free products for their clients and themselves
  • Serious hobbyists stepping up to a professional hard gel system

How to Use: The Forte Application Protocol

  1. Prep. Gently push back the cuticles, shape the nails and rough the nail plate with a medium grit diamond bit. Cleanse nails thoroughly. If you're extending, apply Pro-Tab Nail Forms.
  2. Forte Base. Apply a thin layer of Forte Base and cure for 30 seconds in an LED light. Do not remove the inhibition layer.
  3. Forte Builder. Apply a controlled, even layer of Forte Builder Clear and refine the structure with the brush before curing. Cure for 30 seconds in an LED light (an Akzéntz LED light is recommended).
  4. Wipe or refine. Remove the inhibition layer (remove forms now if you used them). If no filing is needed, that wipe reveals a high-gloss shine and no top coat is required. If you need to adjust, file to shape, wipe, apply gel color and top coats.
