Sculpting Kit

Is The Sculpting Kit Right For You?

This is for you if you want to stop using tips. Sculpting builds the whole nail on a form, so the length, the shape and the apex are yours rather than a plastic tip’s — and it is the skill that separates a technician who can fix anything from one who needs the right tip in the drawer.

It is built around the Nail Sculpting Course, which teaches sculpting in both acrylic and gel, so the kit carries both systems and 100 forms to build on.

It assumes you have already learned a system. If acrylic or hard gel is new to you, start with the Acrylic Nail Kit or the Gel Extensions Kit and come to sculpting once the product is behaving.

Why One Kit Instead Of Two Systems Bought Separately

The sculpting course covers acrylic and gel because the form is the same skill in both and the differences are worth feeling for yourself. Buying for that from scratch means two bonds, two sets of product, two brushes and a pack of forms from four different places.

This kit is both systems in one order: a Halo acrylic set with six powders and a red sable brush, an IBD builder gel set with its own Power Bond and nylon brush, and 100 Perfect Fit forms to build either on.

The forms are the part people underestimate. Sculpting badly is almost always a form that was not fitted properly under the free edge, which is why there are a hundred of them here rather than ten.

What The Sculpting Kit Lets You Practise

The full item list is below. What it adds up to is this:

• Building on a form — 100 Perfect Fit forms, enough to work through the course and keep practising the fit until it stops being fiddly.
• Sculpting in acrylic — Halo acrylic liquid, Mega Bond and six powders in clear, pink, white, cover pink, cover peach and blush pink, with a red sable No 7 brush and a glass dappen dish.
• Sculpting in gel — IBD Power Bond with the IBD Builder set in clear, intense white and pink, and a nylon No 6 gel brush.
• Shaping and finishing — a 100/180 zebra curved file, a white block and Juicy Drops cuticle oil.
• Prep and removal — sanitising spray, acetone and 200 lint-free wipes.

Sculpting Kit FAQs

Do I have to buy the kit to take the course?

No. Kits are optional and are not part of the course fee. Nothing in the Nail Sculpting Course is tied to a brand, so products you already own are fine — most people buying this kit are adding forms and a second system to what they have.

Does it include a lamp?

No. The acrylic in this kit sets in air, but the IBD builder gel needs curing, so you will need an LED lamp for the gel half of the course. If you do not have one, the Builder in a Bottle Kit and the Gel Polish Kit both include a lamp.

Does it include tips?

No, and that is the point. Sculpting builds the nail on a form and the form comes off, so there is no tip to blend. The 100 forms in the kit take their place.

Can I sculpt with Builder in a Bottle too?

Yes, though it is thinner and will want to run off the form until you have the knack. The course works in acrylic and builder gel, which hold their shape while you place them.

Are these professional products or retail ones?

Professional. Halo for the acrylic system, IBD for the builder gel, Pure Nails and Edge for brushes, files and acetone.

How much does delivery cost and how long does it take?

Delivery is free to mainland UK. Kits are dispatched within seven days and usually within three. If you are ordering from outside mainland UK, message us on WhatsApp and we will price the shipping for you.

Can I spread the cost?

Yes. Pay in 3 interest-free instalments with Klarna, PayPal or Clearpay at the checkout.

Will the products run out?

The forms, powders, liquid, gels, bonds and acetone are consumables and get used up with practice. The two brushes, the dappen dish and the file stay with you.
