Gel Polish Base Products
What Are Gel Polish Essentials?
Gel polish essentials form the foundation of a perfect manicure. They prepare the natural nail for applying the color gel, ensure optimal adhesion, and prevent pigment from staining the nail. PN Selfcare’s base products are formulated for application in thin layers, allowing each layer to cure quickly under a UV or LED lamp. This process ensures your gel stays put while your nails remain shiny, polished, and feel reinforced for days.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a base coat for gel polish?
A base coat ensures better adhesion of the gel polish, prevents staining, and protects the natural nail. It’s an essential first step for a long-lasting manicure.
What’s the difference between a peelable and a soakable base coat?
A peelable base allows you to remove your gel polish like a sticker—without using remover—ideal for frequent colour changes. A soakable base offers stronger hold and is removed with remover and wraps for added nail protection.
Can I use any LED lamp to cure PN Selfcare gel polish?
We recommend using our PN Selfcare LED lamps. Our products are tested as a complete system, so we can guarantee optimal curing times and results only when used together.
Why is the prepper important before applying gel polish?
The prepper removes natural oils, dust, and moisture—creating a clean surface so the base coat adheres properly and your manicure lasts longer.
Can I use the peelable base coat on my toenails?
We recommend using the soakable base on toenails, as it lasts longer and withstands moisture better. Peelable base is ideal for fingernails and frequent changes.
Do I need both a base and a top coat?
Yes, the base coat ensures adhesion and protection, while the top coat seals the colour, adds shine, and protects against chipping and wear.
