Features of Diamond Gel №9 Builder Gel from Luna Moon

• Acid-free, with flexibility — does not crack on impact.
• Medium consistency, thixotropic: becomes more fluid when working with a brush.
• Medium pigmentation covers the free edge.
• Does not cause burning in the lamp; thickens in cold, becomes thinner in warmth (gentle heating allowed).
• Hard at 1 mm thickness; at <1 mm slight flexibility possible without affecting wear.
• No shrinkage, perfectly holds architecture and arch.
• Recommended base: Rubber Base LUNAmoon.
• Compatible with techniques: “no file extension”, “upper forms”, strengthening natural nails.
• TPO FREE.

How to use Diamond Gel №9 Builder Gel from Luna Moon

• Preparation: remove previous coating, file 220 grit/buff 100 grit without pressure, manicure. When using removers — wash hands. Degrease with Nail Prep LUNAmoon twice.
• Adhesion: primer if needed (or skip if base acidity is sufficient). Rub in Rubber Base in a thin layer, cure 60 s, remove tacky layer.
• Strengthening: level with Diamond Gel №9 (0.5–1 mm from cuticle), cure 60 s. File the shape to strengthen edge, remove tacky layer, apply colour/top.
• Classic extension: shorten to 1 mm, set form, lay a base with clear gel (30 s), file free edge, remove dust, apply Rubber Base again (30 s). Level with Diamond Gel №9, pinch the arch at 10–15 seconds (or at 20 if gel is “sticky”/with glitter), finish curing 120 s.
• Finish: remove tacky layer, apply top coat, cure 120 s; do not wipe after curing to preserve shine.

Tips for working with Diamond Gel №9 from Luna Moon

Maintain proper thickness: ~0.5 mm at the edge and up to 1 mm at the apex zone. For thin natural nails, after leveling file out ~1 mm of natural nail from the inside — this reduces risk of lifting at the free edge.

Curing: LED/UV 36–48 W, wavelength 365–405 nm; full cure — 120 sec. Intermediate layers — 30–60 sec (depending on technique).
