How to use our Base Coat
Our base coat is specially designed for our Nailster gel polish, available in every color of the rainbow. Before applying one of these beautiful shades, it is important to always use a gel-based base coat to create the best possible foundation for your chosen gel polish color. A base coat also helps even out your natural nail and makes it easier for the gel polish to adhere and cure properly. This makes a base coat absolutely essential when you want to experiment with beautiful color combinations and creative designs.
Just like gel polish, a base coat must be cured under UV light. After curing, the base will leave a tacky layer, which is necessary for the gel polish applied afterwards to adhere properly. At Nailster, you will find a base coat that can be used with all our amazing gel polish colors, while also creating a protective layer between your natural nail and the color.
A durable base
For a beautiful gel manicure, a base coat is absolutely essential, which is why we always include it in our popular starter kits. They are ideal for anyone who wants to start experimenting with gel polish and experience all the wonderful benefits this type of nail product has to offer. If you have particularly thin nails and want your base to be extra durable while helping to strengthen the nail, we recommend combining our base coat with a builder gel. Our builder gel is specially designed to strengthen the natural nail and can help your gel polish manicure last even longer.
Having a proper base before applying a beautiful gel polish is therefore essential. And if you want to combine this gel base with an extra protective layer, that is also an option many already choose. On this page, you can explore our different builder gels and their special properties, and find inspiration for your next nail look.
Explore the benefits of using gel polish
To ensure your gel manicure lasts, it is also essential to use our top coat in addition to your base coat. The top coat helps seal the color and cures under UV light. Some of the biggest benefits of using gel polish are that it lasts longer than regular nail polish and can help give the nails a strong, protective layer that reduces the risk of breakage. However, to achieve these benefits, it is important to start by prepping your nails properly and using a base coat that helps create an even foundation for the gel polish. A base gel therefore sets the foundation for how the rest of the manicure applies and lasts over time. It is well worth taking care when applying this layer, as it helps you achieve the best possible result.
Our base coat can be used with all our colors and builder gels. It helps smooth the natural nail while preparing it for colored gel polish. We recommend that all our customers use a base coat to get the most out of our popular gel polishes.
