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.

    Great quality base coat

    I used this as my nails are weak and it definitely felt more solid. Felt a little strange at first when im used to using a normal base coat that is also clear. The colour is a nice nude. I followed with nude builder gel, forever and always, then pearlescent moonstone.

    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.
