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

  • 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.

    I’ve weak nails and found this base coat to be best. Texture is a bit thick so can be a bit hard to apply tin layer.

    Strong and easy application (after the first go)!

    I'm a complete newbie and I felt like a pro after the 2nd application. This was super simple as a process and instructions were a god sent.

    Clear rubber base coat

    This product is so easy to use, lasts me more then 3 weeks! It is better for weaker nails so made my nails quite strong.

    The best!

    The rubber base coat is great! If it wasn’t for the regrowth, the polish would stay on my nails for ages!
