What is the gel polish base used for?

  • Adhesion

The hybrid base provides excellent adhesion of the hybrid varnish to the natural nail plate. It ensures that the varnish holds firmly, which prevents chipping.

  • Nail Protection

The base coat creates a protective barrier between the natural nail and the coloured hybrid polish. It protects the nails from discolouration and mechanical damage that can occur during everyday activities.

  • Evening out the nail surface

The gel polish base helps to even out the surface of the nail, hiding minor irregularities and imperfections. As a result, the coloured polish applies evenly and the manicure looks professional and aesthetically pleasing.

  • Nail enhancement

Some gel polish bases contain strengthening ingredients that help strengthen natural nails, making them more resistant to breakage and splitting.

  • Fixing the Manicure

A gel polish base forms a solid base for further layers of hybrid varnish, making the whole manicure last longer. It allows the hybrid manicure to last on the nails for up to 3 weeks without visible damage.

A gel polish base is the foundation of any successful manicure. It provides durability, protection and an aesthetically pleasing appearance to the nails, as well as facilitating the application of subsequent layers of hybrid varnish. Without it, it would be difficult to achieve a long-lasting and damage-resistant manicure. Therefore, if you dream of beautiful, well-groomed nails, a hybrid base coat is a must-have product in your nail product collection.
