A crystal-clear Build it Base with no yellow or gray undertones. This Build it Base is perfect for an ultra-natural look or as a base for applying gel polish over your Build it Base manicure.

With strong adhesion and high viscosity, Build it Base is ideal for both nail strengthening and extensions. The flexible yet durable formula helps prevent breakage and damage, providing a long-lasting, salon-quality result.

Our new Primer is created to improve adhesion and helps your gel manicure last longer and stay beautifully in place, especially when you use a Build It Base or Rubber Base. Like all our formulas, it is HEMA- and TPO-free.

Safe usage
Prevent the gel polish from coming into contact with the skin and cuticles to minimise the risk of a possible acrylate allergy. If any gel polish touches the skin, remove it immediately with a woodstick, corrector pen, or a wipe with cleaner before curing under the lamp.

Preparation
File the nails with the nail file and buff the nail plate with a polishing block. Then degrease the nails with a nail wipe with some cleaner. Finish your preparation by applying the Prep Booster all over the nail plate and letting it air dry for 30 seconds.

How to apply
Step 1. Apply Build it Base: A slip layer is a thin coat that improves grip for the second layer of Build it Base. Apply a thin slip layer, keeping a 1 mm distance from the cuticles. Cure for 120 seconds under the LED lamp. Then, take a small amount of Build it Base and apply it at the base of the nail. Gently spread the gel towards the sides and the tip using our Fine Liner, ensuring even coverage. Cure again for 120 seconds under the LED lamp.
Tip: Want to create extra curvature? Before curing, turn your hand upside down for a few seconds to let the gel flow toward the centre of the nail.
Optional. Apply Colour: Apply 1 or 2 layers of your favourite colour. Cure each layer for 60 seconds under the LED lamp.
Step 2. Apply Top Coat: Apply a thin layer of Top Coat and cure it for 60 seconds under the LED lamp. Wait 2 minutes, then remove the sticky layer with a nail wipe and some cleaner.
Extra care: Wait 1 minute after removing the sticky layer with cleaner, then apply Cuticle Oil to your cuticles and massage gently.
