Nail service is all about following the correct steps; skipping one can affect the overall result. Didn't notice fluff and top coated? It's now sealed into your gel manicure forever.😅 Or worse, picked the wrong base for the natural nails and now we are doing free nail repairs. Choosing the right base product and clean prep significantly improves the chances of having 0 repairs and no nail damage in the long run.

Our selection of base coats and base building products is not confusing. Your clear base coats are here to create a protective barrier against pigments, which can and often do discolour the natural nail, and create a protective seal against any uncured gel, add cushioning properties to longer nails, and enhance adhesion.

Meanwhile, our base building products, such as Apex Build and Smart Base, allow you to add strength and colour to fragile nails protecting them against mechanical stress.

Now, lets take a look at each category!
