The best choice depends on how your natural nails behave and what kind of reinforcement they need.
Rubber Base:
If you have softer, more flexible nails, they naturally bend under pressure. While this can help prevent immediate breakage, it also means that a stiff, rigid product (like traditional builder gel) may lift or crack because it doesn’t move with the nail. Rubber Base is designed to flex, making it the best choice for nails that need reinforcement while maintaining their natural flexibility. Since it adapts to the nail’s movement, it’s also less likely to chip or lift over time.
Build it Base:
If your nails are weaker, brittle, or prone to splitting, a flexible base alone may not provide enough reinforcement to prevent breaking of splitting. Build it Base is thicker and more structured, making it the best choice for nails that need extra durability and strength. Unlike Rubber Base, Build it Base creates a stronger, more rigid foundation that helps protect weak nails from daily stress and impact.
