Puggle Petal – Pink Liquid Hard Gel Builder in a Bottle
Meet PUGGLE Petal — the hard gel builder in a bottle, now in a soft sheer pink.
PUGGLE Petal carries everything that makes PUGGLE the newest essential in the PUG family — permanent hard gel strength, an enhanced self-levelling formula, and a purpose-built oval brush bottle — wrapped in a delicate, wearable pink tone. At approximately 60% coverage, Petal adds a soft, feminine flush to the nail while still letting the natural nail show through. The result is polished and pretty straight from the lamp, with serious hard gel durability underneath.
The shade sits in a similar tonal family to Lastik Serene and PUG Rosy — a sheer, skin-flattering pink that suits a wide range of skin tones and works beautifully as a standalone finish or as a base under soft pink and nude gel polish shades.
HEMA-free and TPO-free, formulated in the EU to EU cosmetic regulations. Compatible with all Planet Nails base products — Lastik is the standard recommendation, or Stick 'n Float for fully HEMA-free services.
For clients who want a little colour with their structure — Petal is the one.

USE CASES
Hard Gel Structured Manicure / Overlay — Soft Pink Finish
PUGGLE Petal is the go-to for clients who love a soft pink nail with hard gel strength behind it. The sheer pink tone brightens the nail, adds a pretty flush of colour, and gives a polished, finished look straight from the lamp. On clients with naturally even nail curvature, Petal can deliver a complete result with little to no filing required.
French and Pink Nail Styles
Petal's soft pink base makes it a natural fit for French manicures, baby boomer styles, and pink-toned nail art. Use it as the structural base layer and pair with a white or soft tip for a classic French, or carry the shade through as a standalone finish for an understated everyday look.
Tip Overlay
Apply over tip extensions as a structural overlay. The sheer pink tone softens the appearance of the tip join and adds warmth to the finished nail, reducing the need for additional gel polish colour on lighter-style sets.
Short Sculptures Over Forms
PUGGLE Petal can be used to sculpt short extensions over forms. The soft pink coverage gives a feminine, skin-warmed result well suited to natural-finish and French-style nail sets.
Hard Gel Infill / Rebalance
Use PUGGLE Petal to infill and rebalance existing overlays at the regrowth appointment. De-bulk as needed, apply to the new growth area and blend over the existing product, cure and file to finish.
ABOUT PUGGLE PETAL
PUGGLE Petal is the sheer pink shade in the PUGGLE hard gel builder in a bottle range — part of the PUG family, built on the same permanent hard gel formula, and designed for technicians who want a soft, pretty finish with real hard gel durability to back it up.
At 60% coverage, Petal sits in sheer-to-medium territory — a delicate flush of pink that brightens the nail and adds warmth without reading as a full colour. The tone is soft and flattering across a wide range of skin tones, sitting in a similar family to Lastik Serene and PUG Rosy. It works beautifully as a complete standalone finish, and equally well as a base under soft pink, sheer, or nude gel polish shades.
Like all PUGGLE shades, Petal uses an enhanced self-levelling formula in a wider-neck 20ml bottle with an oval brush applicator. The wider neck reduces air introduction during brush withdrawal, keeping the product bubble-free. The oval brush head gives clean, precise placement at the cuticle area without reshaping the brush.
PUGGLE Petal is HEMA-free and TPO-free, manufactured in the EU to EU cosmetic regulations. For full product details, application protocol, removal instructions, and FAQs, see PUGGLE Clear.
APPLICATION — STANDARD PROTOCOL
| 1 | Sanitise nails using The One Spray. Push back cuticles and buff to remove all traces of shine. |
| 2 | Apply nail tips if required, cut and blend (optional step). |
| 3 | Apply PN Nail Prep to the natural nail only. Allow to dry (optional step). |
| 4 | Apply PN Sticky Bond or Sticky Bond HF sparingly to the natural nail only. Allow to become tacky. |
| 5 | Apply a base coat layer of Clear Lastik, Lastik HF, or Stick 'n Float over the entire nail. Do not touch the cuticle or sidewall areas. Seal all sides of the free edge. Cure 60–90 seconds. |
| 6 | Apply PUGGLE Petal starting 1mm away from the cuticle. Float the product gently across the nail and allow it to self-level before making any adjustments. Use the oval brush to guide product to the sidewalls if needed. Seal all sides of the free edge. Cure 60 seconds (405nm LED) or 2 minutes (365nm UV). |
| 7 | Repeat with a second layer if additional structure or coverage is required. Seal the free edge and cure. |
| 8 | Remove the tacky layer with The One Spray and a PN Lint Free Wipe. |
| 9 | File to an even, smooth finish if required. Buff with a buffer to remove scratches. For clients whose natural nail curvature allows it, this step may be minimal or skipped entirely. |
| 10 | Wash hands thoroughly to remove product residue and dust. |
| 11 | Apply The One Spray to a nail wipe to sanitise. The nail is now ready for gel polish colour or top coat. |
PUGGLE's enhanced self-levelling formula makes a no-file finish achievable — but client suitability matters. Clients with naturally even nail curvature, consistent sidewall depth, and no length or shape correction required are the best candidates. Where length, direction, or shape correction is needed, standard filing applies. The formula gives you the option — the nail decides whether to use it.
REMOVAL
PUGGLE Petal is a permanent hard gel — it is file off only and cannot be removed with acetone.
| 1 | De-bulk the surface using the 100-grit side of a 100/180 file or an e-file de-bulking bit. File only the product surface — do not touch the natural nail. |
| 2 | Continue filing carefully until the product layer is thin. Switch to a finer grit to remove the remaining product close to the nail surface without damage. |
| 3 | Buff lightly with a buffer to remove any residue and smooth the nail surface. |
| 4 | Nails are ready for a fresh application. |
Planet Nails strongly recommends infilling over full removal where possible. De-bulk down to a thin even layer and apply fresh PUGGLE on top — the natural nail stays intact and the prep process is significantly shorter at the next appointment.
