ProForm™: A Deep Dive Into TGB’s Gel-Acrylic System

So… What Is ProForm™? 


At its core, ProForm™ is a gel-acrylic hybrid system. 


It comes in a smooth, ready-to-use paste that you can sculpt, shape and control exactly where you place it. It behaves in a similar way to acrylic… but instead of air-curing, it cures under a lamp like a gel. 


This means: 
- You get full control while working  
- No rushing or chasing the product  
- Time to perfect your structure before curing  


It’s also completely HEMA-free, making it a really strong option for clients who have HEMA allergies. 

Why Nail Techs Love ProForm™

It’s become a staple product for so many techs, and for good reason. 


It fills that gap where other systems can sometimes fall short. 

You’ve got: 
- The strength and durability you’d expect from acrylic  
- The lightweight, flexible feel clients love from gel  
- And a non-drip consistency that stays exactly where you put it  

So instead of fighting with your product… you’re actually in control of it. It also speeds up your services in ways you may not have even considered. As you don’t need to cure each nail, appointments can be quicker and more efficient once you’re confident and comfortable with the formula.  

A Versatile Gel-Acrylic Kit Essential for Nail Techs

This is where it really earns its place in your kit. ProForm™ isn’t just a one-trick nail system — it’s a versatile product in your kit that has many uses. 

You can use it for: 
- Extensions: Perfect for creating long, sculpted nails that still feel lightweight and natural. 
- Repairs: Ideal for rebuilding broken nails or adding strength where needed. 
- Nail Overlays: If a client wants stronger, more structured natural nails, this works beautifully. 

System Selection: Who is ProForm™ For?

Not every product suits every client, and that’s where your knowledge really comes in. 

ProForm™ is ideal for clients who: 
- Are hard on their nails  
- Usually opt for acrylic but want something more flexible  
- Want long and strong nail extensions  
- Need something hardwearing but lightweight  
- Prefer or require HEMA-free systems  

What Makes TGB ProForm™ Different?

There are a few key things that really set ProForm™ apart. 

  1. The Control. Unlike BIAB™ or GelPot, where the product self-levels, ProForm™ stays where you place it. That means you need to build your structure manually… but it also means you can create exactly the shape you want. 
  2. The Feel. Even though it’s strong, it’s designed to feel lightweight and comfortable on the nail, giving that “natural but enhanced” finish clients love.  
  3. The Finish. It files down beautifully. Refining, shaping and debulking is smooth and easy, which makes a huge difference to your final result. 

A Note on Structure (Because It Matters)

If you’re using ProForm™, structure is everything. 


As it doesn’t self-level, you need to be intentional with your placement, especially around the apex and stress area. That’s where the strength comes from. 


Done properly, you’re creating nails that: 

- Last longer  
- Resist breakage  
- Maintain their shape until the next appointment  

Why TGB’s Acrygel System Should Be in Your Kit

There are some products you use occasionally… and then there are the ones that genuinely expand what you can offer as a nail tech. 

ProForm™ sits in that second category. 

It allows you to: 
- Take on clients who want length and durability  
- Offer an alternative to acrylic  
- Work with more control and precision  
- Adapt your services depending on the client in front of you  

That’s what really sets you apart. 

Because it’s not about having more products, it’s about having the right ones, and knowing when to use them. 

ProForm™ — Your Kit All-Rounder

ProForm™ isn’t just another system to learn. It’s one that gives you more flexibility, more control, and more confidence in the services you offer. 

Whether you’re creating long extensions, repairing a break, or building strength into natural nails, it’s one of those products that quietly becomes a go-to. 

And once it does, you’ll wonder how you ever worked without it.
