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.

    White rubber base coat

    I thought I might be able to wear as a sheer wash of colour, but it looked streaky so did 3 coats to make opaque. Still 5 stars though as I think that is down to me having ridgy nails, and not a product fault. I like how the rubber coat feels and will buy more

    Hey Anna,

    The White Rubber Base is intended purely as a base to other colours. I would suggest trying the Pink or Nude Rubber Base for a nice and even sheer wash of colour 😊

    Perfect for getting neons to pop!

    The perfect base choice for neons, the white base really makes the brightness pop!
