BBG® Application Guide Chart
| Step | Phase | Action & Technique | Key Products / Tools | Cure Time / Details |
| 1 | Nail Prep | Push back cuticles, gently buff natural nail surface to remove shine, and cleanse thoroughly to remove oils and dust. | Cleanser / Alcohol, Buffer | Crucial for preventing lifting and ensuring long wear |
| 2 | Base Gel | Apply a thin, even layer of base coat over the natural nail plate. | Base Coat (e.g., Viti-B Base Coat) | 30–60 sec (LED) |
| 3 | Slip Layer | Brush a thin, uncured layer of BBG across the entire nail surface to serve as a wet glide base. | BBG® (Builder Bottle Gel) | Do not cure this layer |
| 4 | Apex & Structure | Place a small bead of BBG near the cuticle area and gently float the gel down toward the free edge to build the apex. | BBG® (Builder Bottle Gel) | Allow self-leveling to smooth out coverage |
| 5 | Cure | Place under the nail lamp to set and harden the gel structure. | LED / UV Lamp | 60 sec (LED) / 120 sec (UV) |
| 6 | Refine & Shape (Optional) | Wipe tacky inhibition layer with alcohol, file sidewalls/free edge to perfect shape, and cleanse away filing dust. | Alcohol wipe, Nail File, Buffer | Ensures crisp sidewalls and a smooth finish |
| 7 | Seal & Finish | Apply gel color if desired, then seal with top coat and cure completely. | Top Coat (e.g., HySHINE Top Coat) | 60 sec (LED) / 120 sec (UV) |
