Base coats

Base coat gel polish

Good nail care is not possible without a top coat and a base coat. Together, these two coatings create the perfect manicure. A base coat nail polish is the base layer on which you apply polish. Together with a top coat, it ensures long-lasting beautifully coloured nails.

The idea of a base coat is to smooth the nail plate. If you just apply nail polish on your nail, this hardly gives visible problems, but as soon as you apply a glossy coating, omitting a base coat can reveal huge problems on your nail, such as bumps and scratches on the nail plate.

A base coat forms a barrier between the nail polish and your nail and also makes the nail polish stay on better. A gel polish base coat covers imperfections just a little better than an ordinary thin polish.

How to apply gel base coat?

You always apply a gel basecoat under a UV lamp. Thanks to the UV light, the nails harden well and you ensure that the nails will last at least 3 to 4 weeks.

You apply gel base coat as a base under your nail polish to strengthen your nails, make them smoother and make your nails look healthier. You apply gel base coat with a brush and make sure the layer is evenly spread and has a good smooth texture.

You then dry the gel basecoat under a professional UV lamp. Only when the gel polish is completely dry can you apply your nail polish to the gel. You can choose to finish this off with a topcoat to your liking.

What color is the gel polish base coat?

The base coat is usually transparent and contains no color. This does not mean that all base coatings are the same, as there are also base gels that have colour and you do not need to apply a colored gel polish over them. Each base coat has its own texture.

There are different types of gel coatings, each of which has its own function:

  • For example, there are base coatings with a camouflaging function. These coatings usually form a kind of base on which the stylist does not need to apply gel polish, or they serve to enhance the brightness of the colour of the gel polish itself. These base coatings are available with or without gloss. We have many different colours of such gel polish base coatings.
  • Fibre bases are bases that contain extra special particles. They make the nail base much stronger. Therefore, fibre bases are ideal for brittle nails.
  • There are also universal bases. These are transparent bases that are specially used for gel polish.
