Why Use Base & Top Coats in Gel Nails?
Without a proper base and top coat, your manicure won’t last as long and may chip easily.
-
Base Coat: Protects natural nails, strengthens, and improves adhesion.
-
Top Coat: Locks in colour, adds shine or matte finish, and provides long-lasting protection.
By combining both, you get a flawless gel manicure that lasts weeks instead of days.
