ProForm™: Here’s everything you need to know about TGB’s latest extension system
What is ProForm™ and is it right for my clients?
Are your clients extension lovers or perhaps they’re reluctant to give up acrylics? Transform with ProForm™ — the ultimate, durable HEMA-Free extension system.
If your clients are looking for hyper-realistic nail extensions that feel just like natural nails, our versatile hard gel builds, extends, repairs and sculpts, to take their nails to new heights (literally).
“ProForm™ is the perfect replacement for acrylic nails and an absolute dream to work with. The soft, buttery-like texture is easy to apply and refine and the Slip & Sculpt Solution makes it easy to manipulate the product, giving you complete control.” Charlotte Burgess, Nail Technician.
Our ProForm™ kits are the perfect proposition, with an average profit margin of 95%, you can earn up to £10k* with our Full Kit and up to £4k* with our Starter Kit.
How is ProForm™ different from acrylic?
ProForm™ is a file-off, non-drip hard gel, with the strength of acrylic but the ease of gel, in a user-friendly tube. Unlike traditional acrylics, our formula is HEMA-Free. Use with our HEMA-Free Bond Base and Glow Top for a complete HEMA-Free system.
Top Features:
- Non-drip formula that gives you complete control when sculpting extensions, whether you’ve just started your nail tech career or you’re a dab hand.
- Smooth, ready-to-use paste that’s the perfect consistency every time.
- Quicker appointment times — save up to 10 minutes with no need to flash-cure each nail.
- The smoothest file off — refine, shape and de-bulk with ease.
- A little goes a long way: create up to 30 sets with each tube.
- Slip & Sculpt Solution is specifically developed to use with ProForm™ products for an easy, smooth application and finish.
How do I apply and remove ProForm™?
Perfection always lies in the prep — make a HEMA-Free mani last longer with careful prep and dehydration of the nail plate, as products without HEMA can often increase oil production.
It’s easy to work with ProForm™ — a mouldable and malleable hard gel, already pre-mixed in a handy tube, so you get the perfect consistency every time.
You will need to apply a small bead on to the stress point of the nail using our ProSculpt Tool and Slip & Sculpt Solution to help you manipulate the gel into the desired shape. ProForm™ doesn’t move or set like other gel formulas so you don’t need to flash-cure each nail as you go, saving you valuable appointment time!
Make sure you focus on leveling the apex and thinning the hard gel out across the rest of the nail to create strength. Unlike our BIAB™ gels, gravity won’t help with building the apex when using ProForm™.
When removing ProForm™ we recommend you wear a mask due to the high levels of dust. Firstly, remove the poly gel with a TGB E-File or 120/180 Nail File, starting from the cuticle upwards. The last layer of hard gel can be soaked off using Removal Foils saturated in acetone.
How do I use ProForm™ for pedicures?
Not just for manicures, ProForm™ is the perfect choice for ultra-durable pedicures too! Hard gel overlays are great for repairing splits and building strong overlays.
Choose ProForm™ for reshaping and adding structure to the toenail using the same standard application procedure, but consider that Proform™ is a file off product.
Do I need to do a training course to use ProForm™?
If you already have a certification in hard gels and acrylics, then you don’t need to complete our ProForm™ Extension course. We recommend it as a refresher and for anyone without the necessary qualifications.
