Rubber Base: The Flexible Foundation
Our iconic Rubber Base is a game-changer for clients with weaker nails. Its flexible formula moves with the natural nail, reducing the risk of lifting and chipping. It's ideal for those who need additional reinforcement without the weight of a builder gel.
Pro Tip: Apply a thin, even layer and cure fully before applying your colour coat to ensure maximum adhesion and longevity.
2-in-1 Base Coat: The Dual-Action Essential
The 2-in-1 Base Coat is all about versatility. It acts as both a base coat and a primer, making it a time-saving essential for busy nail techs. Its self-levelling properties create the perfect foundation for a smooth finish.
Pro Tip: Use a light touch when applying to avoid excessive thickness, ensuring a sleek, professional look.
Creator Base: The Peel-Off Innovator
Creator Base is a revolutionary peel-off base coat designed for effortless removal of temporary nail designs — no soak-off required. Compatible with TGB gel polish and BIAB™, it’s perfect for content creators who need to change their nail looks frequently.

Bond Base: The Adhesion Boosting Essential
Bond Base is all about maximizing durability. It works as a powerful primer to enhance the bond between the natural nail and gel polish, ensuring long-lasting wear. Its formula prevents lifting and ensures a smooth, strong foundation for your gel application.
