The flexible foundation that moves with you.

Rubber Base Coat flexes with your nails to help prevent lifting, cracking, and chipping. Ideal for soft, thin or bendy nails, its unique rubber-like qualities allow it to move naturally with your nails, helping to prevent your manicure from pulling away.

Thicker than regular Base Coat, its self-levelling formula smooths imperfections and is perfect for flaky, brittle, or uneven nails. Creating a more even and flexible base for your gel polish to adhere to, use in place of your regular Base Coat, and continue your mani as usual.

Features

  • Bends and moves naturally with your nails, helping to prevent lifting, cracking and chipping.
  • Supports soft, thin, or bendy nails with its flexible formula.
  • Self-levelling to smooth imperfections and create an even base for your gel polish.
  • Creates a strong bond between your nails and gel polish for lasting wear.

    Perfect replacement for builder

    Normally a builder gel girly but this rubber base is actually more durable and better suited for my nails and job. Only thing I would say is it is more peachy for my skin tone.

    Your nails but better

    Perfect natural nail colour. One coat is lightly sheet and looks exactly like my real nails, but better. Two coats is opaque with a true nude-blush colour. Felt sticky after curing so added a top coat. I will add French tips when my white gel colour arrives.

    Natural nails but better

    Looks exactly like my natural nails but better. Still feels sticky after curing in the UV lamp so I think you need a top coat if you are planning to wear this alone. I am going to add white French tips when my next order arrives. I have one thin-ish coat on in the photo.

    Hi Amy,

    Thank you for leaving a review! Yes, the base coat will remain tacky after curing as this promotes the next layer stick! You will require the Gelous Top Coat as this the last step in the application guide which seals up your manicure leaving a hard finish.

    Please reach out to us if you have any questions. 😊
