STRENGTH & VISCOSITY CHART
Viscosity refers to a gel's thickness and movement during application. It affects control, self-leveling, and how the product behaves before curing. Strength refers to a gel's performance after curing. It describes how much the gel flexes, supports, or resists breakage during wear.
Viscosity and strength are independent properties, a gel can be thin yet very strong, or thick but highly flexible. Understanding the difference allows for better product selection, improved structure, and longer-lasting results.

STRENGTH SCALE
VISCOSITY SCALE
A. Flexible
Soft and bendable, moves fully with the natural nail
B. Flexible with Strength
Flexes with the nail but offers light reinforcement
C. Balanced Strength
Controlled flexibility with noticeable support
D. Strong
Holds shape under stress with minimal flex
E. Extra Strong
High resistance, maintains structure and apex
F. Durable
Maximum strength, minimal flexibility
1. Ultra-Thin
Water-like flow, self-levels instantly
2. Thin
Very fluid, fast self-leveling
3. Medium-Thin
Light body, controlled but still flowy
4. Medium
Creamy consistency, good self-level
5. Medium-Thick
Noticeable body, slower self-level
6. Thick
High viscosity, strong hold
