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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrong without bulk:\u003c\/strong\u003e exceptional rigidity and high strength in a thin, elegant coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-leveling:\u003c\/strong\u003e flows into quick, precise overlays and short extensions, cutting service time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal clear:\u003c\/strong\u003e free from haze, cloudiness or distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight feel:\u003c\/strong\u003e durable structure clients barely notice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFast cure:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 seconds in an LED light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClean formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Pure Gel™, HEMA-free, TPO-free and 10-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCruelty-free and vegan:\u003c\/strong\u003e a product of Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15ml \/ .5oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHard Gel Strength, Bottle Speed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForte 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePart of the Forte® System by Akzéntz\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForte Builder goes over \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ericasata.com\/products\/akzentz-forte-base\"\u003eForte Base\u003c\/a\u003e, the flexible hard gel base coat that bonds to the natural nail and absorbs everyday stress to help prevent lifting.
