DNKa - Builder Gel #0050 Dopamine, 15ml

This lime-green builder gel from the DNKa Dopamine collection is a highly pigmented, self-leveling gel that creates a complete colored coating in a single application — no separate polish layer needed. It's part of a 9-shade Dopamine set designed for bold, vibrant nail art and summer-ready manicures.

Formula and Application

The gel has a HEMA-free and TPO-free, low-temperature formula, making it gentler for clients with sensitive skin. Its medium-viscosity, self-leveling texture spreads smoothly over an upper or lower nail form and holds its arch after curing without shrinking or sagging.

To apply, start with a base layer, distribute the gel evenly using a form, cure under an LED/UV lamp, shape and file as needed, then seal with a top coat. One coat gives full color coverage, so there's no need to build up multiple layers to hide streaking.

Removal

This is a hard, non-soak-off gel. It's removed mechanically, by filing or with an e-file, rather than soaking in acetone.

Who It's For

Works well for nail technicians building colorful extensions or overlays and for at-home users comfortable applying builder gel with a form. The shade can also be mixed with other colors in the Dopamine line to customize the tone.
