A base coat is a fundamental component of the gel polish manicure process that plays a crucial role in achieving a durable, long-lasting, and good looking result. In terms of gellak application, the base coat serves as a foundation for the entire manicure and offers several key benefits. Benefits such as; adhesion enhancement, smoothing the nail surface, protective barrier, prolonged wear and minimized lifting. When undertaking a gel manicure, the application of the base coat is typically the initial step in the process. After applying the base coat, each layer is cured under a UV/LED lamp before proceeding to the coloured gel polish and, eventually, the top coat.

Using our base coat for gel polish is a straightforward process that involves a few simple steps. These simple steps include; cleaning the nails to ensure they are free from oils or debris, performing a thorough prep of the nails (cleaning the nails and ensuring they're ready for base coat application), applying thin layers of our base coat to ensure quick drying of the gel, avoiding application of our gel polish on the cuticles and skin (it's very important to remove the product from your skin if you accidentaly apply it). When these steps have been done, you can proceed with applying gel polish colors and finally apply a layer of top coat. You can read our gel polish application guide for more information and best-practices on using base coat.
