Is a rubber base coat necessary in manicure?

Manicure and pedicure are not only aesthetic procedures, but also an important part of nail and skin care. After these treatments, the most in-demand service is the application of coatings using gel systems. However, all these procedures (strengthening, extensions, color application, etc.) require applying a transparent base coat as an underlayer.

Why is a Base coat necessary before gel polish or gel coating in manicure and pedicure?

A nail base performs several important functions:

  1. Protection of the nail plate:
    It creates a barrier between the natural nail and the colored coating, protecting the nail from gel polish pigments that may cause yellowing and weakening. During removal (especially with electric-file manicure techniques), it also reduces the risk of damaging the nail plate with the drill bit.
  2. Improved adhesion:
    It helps polish and gel adhere better to the nail plate, extending the wear time of the coating and preventing premature lifting.
  3. Surface leveling:
    It contains special components that fill irregularities and microcracks on the nail surface, creating a smooth base for gel polish application.
  4. Nail strengthening:
    Bases may contain acrylic components or fibers to provide additional rigidity. Therapeutic bases may also include vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that help improve the condition of the nail plate.


Therefore, don’t forget to apply a rubber base coat to improve the quality and durability of your gel polish system.
