Colour Accuracy

Colours may appear differently on screen than in person. Unfortunately it is impossible to replicate a colour accurately on screen, however we do our best to get as close as possible. This is because different displays render colours completely differently. Additionally, colours can look different against skin tones, different backgrounds and in different lighting.

Compatibility

We cannot guarantee polishes or lamps from other brands will work with our products, as they have been designed to work at a complementary wavelength.

Ingredients

Acrylates Copolymer, Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate, Cellulose Acetate Butyrate, Hydroxycyclohexyl Phenyl Ketone, Dimethicone, Tris-BHT Mesitylene.

    Super strong!

    Beautiful base coat that stays sticky after curing for maximum grip onto the builder. My partner is a grave digger so you can imagine his nails go through a lot during the day! This base has changed the game for him and his nails are still going strong three weeks later. Really nice consistency. Would definitely recommend!

    Best base

    Love this base. Stays sticky once cured to promote next layer to stick better. Only base I use now

    Nails glowing

    The base coat makes nails glowing! It helps strengthen them in my opinion too, my nails have never been soo strong.
