HEMA Free Gummy Gel in Jar: How to Use It for 3D Nail Art

The short answer

Gummy gel is a firm, moldable gel for raised 3D art. Place a small amount on a cured nail, shape it with a silicone applicator or 3D brush, and cure it. It sets dense, so petals and bows keep their shape.

What is gummy gel?

A thick, dense gel made for sculpted detail. Cre8tion Gummy Gel in Jar stays where you place it, so raised flowers, petals and bows keep their edge through cure.

Cre8tion gummy gel is HEMA free and TPO free.

How do I use it, step by step?

Start with a normal prep, base coat and cured color. Then add the art.

1. Place a small amount of gummy gel on the cured nail with a silicone applicator or the Duo Gel and 3D Brush.

2. Press and shape it into a petal, bow or dot. Wipe the tool between shapes so edges stay crisp.

3. Cure under your LED lamp, following the label.

4. Finish the nail the way you normally would.

What can I make with it?

Raised petals, flowers, bows and other 3D details. A simple first project is one small flower on the ring finger of each hand: five tiny petals around a center dot.

Which size and shade should I start with?

How is gummy gel different from builder gel?

Builder gel adds structure and smooths the whole nail surface. Gummy gel is for raised art that has to hold its shape. Use builder for the nail and gummy for the decoration. See Builder Gel Is Back for the overlay steps.

Cure each layer following the label for your lamp.
