How to use

Prepare the nail, apply Dehydrator and Bonder, then a thin coat of SHIELD Rubber Base+ and cure for 30 seconds under a UV/LED lamp. Apply a thin slip layer of Gel in Bottle, then build the sculpting layer without curing the slip layer separately. Cure each nail for 30 seconds, then cure the whole hand for a further 60 seconds. Remove the tacky layer with Cleanser and finish with a SHIELD top coat. Remove the gel by filing.

The story behind the product

The dark sand shade adds a warm, neutral colour to the coating. Gel in Bottle offers hard gel in a bottle format. It is designed to strengthen natural nails, especially short to medium-length nails that need protection against breakage. The wide bottle opening makes it easier to pick up the gel with a brush, while the fluid, self-levelling formula creates a smooth surface without additional filing.

A thin slip layer helps you apply and position the sculpting layer. Do not cure the slip layer separately before applying the sculpting layer. Shape the strengthening overlay as you apply the gel. A properly levelled surface does not need additional filing after curing. Apply the gel over a compatible SHIELD base, then finish with a top coat or your chosen SHIELD colour after curing.

Clear, tinted and decorative versions let you choose the look of the coating to suit your manicure. Spark adds fine shimmer, while Frost contains decorative flakes. All Gel in Bottle variants are file-off hard gels and require mechanical removal.
