Rubber Base 60ml
Rubber base gel is a thicker, flexible soak-off base coat used in gel manicures. It has a viscosity between standard gel polish and builder gel. Self-leveling and bottled, it reinforces natural, weak, or brittle nails by adding a strong yet flexible structural apex.
Key Benefits & Uses
1. Strengthening Overlay: Ideal for short-to-medium natural nails that need help growing out without breaking.
2. Flexibility: Cures with a rubber-like elasticity to absorb shocks and prevent rigid snapping.
3. Self-Leveling: Smooths out uneven nail beds easily and can create a quick, natural apex.
4. Shades Available: Offered in clear as well as tinted nudes, pinks, and glitters to act as a 2-in-1 base and color layer.
Application Steps
1. Prep: Push back cuticles, shape the free edge, lightly buff the nail plate, and clean away dust.
2. Dehydrate/Prime: Apply a nail dehydrator and a non-acid primer to ensure maximum adhesion.
3. Slip Layer: Apply a very thin "scrubbed-in" first layer of rubber base gel and flash cure.
4. Build Apex: Place a small bead of gel slightly above the center, float it towards the cuticle and down to the tip to self-level, then fully cure under a UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds.
5. Finish: Wipe the sticky inhibition layer if needed, then proceed with gel polish color or a top coat
