Annette Nails Half Clear Builder Gel  is a self-leveling and multifunctional UV gel, with a creamy, medium-liquid consistency and a slight natural transparency. It is ideal for various manicure techniques. It can be successfully used both for the protection of natural nails (including short-length ones), as well as for extensions and constructions on templates or reusable tips, including at extreme lengths. Being self-leveling, it allows for manicures with the no-file technique, saving time and ensuring a smooth and uniform finish.
The Coffee Annette Nails gel collection , inspired by the color of the year 2025, Mocha Mousse, includes gels in a chromatic range similar to the most beloved coffee-based drinks. From the bright shade Flat White, to the colors of delicious Latte or Cappuccino drinks, to more intense coffee shades, such as Mocha or Macchiato.  
Annette Nails Half Clear Builder Gel has an innovative formula, which provides durability and flexibility adapted to the thickness of the applied layer. In a thin layer, the gel becomes flexible, preventing exfoliation at the cuticle and protecting the tips of the nails from shocks. In a thicker layer, the gel becomes rigid, effectively strengthening the stress zone and providing additional protection, even for nails of extreme length. This optimal combination of rigidity and elasticity after polymerization guarantees durable and thin nails, without compromising the natural appearance of the nails and without creating an unpleasant volume. The gel perfectly preserves the C-curve and the architecture of the nail until the next maintenance, without cracks or deformation of the material. 
The Half Clear Coffee builder gel has a dispersion layer, which makes it suitable for applying nail art pigments. The gel is used in a three-phase system - a base coat is required for adhesion before applying the gel! For maintenance, the gel is easily removed by filing with an electric drill (we recommend a drill bit with purple, blue or green abrasiveness) or with a file. 
The Coffee Annette Nails gel collection is versatile, perfect for creating minimalist nude, French or babyboomer manicures, but also for use in modern and sophisticated designs, with glossy or matte finishes. The slightly transparent texture offers a delicate, clean and elegant look and also gives the advantage of being easily combined with accessories, glitter, or other effect colors.
Advantages: 
Self-leveling formula:  levels very easily, being ideal for the no-filing technique, significantly reducing working time; 
Adaptable hardness : applied in a thin layer, the gel becomes flexible and prevents exfoliation in the cuticle area and on the free tip; in a thick layer it offers extra hardness, effectively strengthening the stress area;
Slightly transparent appearance:  delicately blurs small imperfections, giving nails a natural appearance and optimal resistance until the next maintenance;
Multifunctionality:  suitable for protecting natural nails and for template extensions or reusable tips, even at extreme lengths;
Extended durability : the gel allows the creation of durable and thin nails, without additional volume, perfectly maintaining the created architecture and the C-curve throughout the entire wear period.
Application method:
1. Prepare the nails properly - perform the manicure, file the surface of the nails with a 180/240 grit file, degrease the nails with  cleaner  and apply  the preparation solutions .
2. Apply a thin layer of clear base coat for adhesion ( Pro Base Clear CL-01  or  Soft Base Clear CL-02 ) and cure in UV/LED lamp for 30-60 seconds. 
3. In the case of the template, apply the gel in a thin layer, creating the free edge and polymerize it in the UV lamp – 90 sec / LED– 60 sec. In the case of the tips, distribute the material evenly, taking care not to place excess material in the area that will be attached to the cuticle. 
4. If you have worked with a template and it is necessary to create an apex, add another optimal layer of builder gel to achieve the desired architecture. Cure in UV lamp – 90 sec / LED – 60 sec.
5. File the free tip or surface of the nail where/if necessary and degrease with a cleanser. Also file the subungual area with a nail file, if the natural nail is ingrown.
6. After polymerization, if necessary, apply the desired semi-permanent nail polish or proceed directly with applying a  top coat  and polymerize in the LED lamp - 60 sec / UV - 120 sec.
