Gel Polish Base & Top Coats

Gel Polish Base & Top Coats for a Long-Lasting, Glossy Manicure

A good gel polish manicure starts and ends with the right base and top coat. These essential steps make sure your colour adheres properly, stays put for a long time and gets a glossy or matte finish that keeps looking good for days. At Boozyshop you'll find base and top coats developed specifically for use under a UV or LED lamp, so your manicure gets a professional look that lasts.

What is the right order when applying gel polish?

For the best result, always follow the same order. You start with a base coat, which protects your nail and helps the colour stay in place. Then you apply the colour in thin layers, curing each one under the lamp. Finally you use a top coat to seal the polish and add extra shine and protection. Base first, top coat last: that's the order for a perfect gel polish manicure.

Is a base coat really necessary with gel polish?

A base coat is essential. Without one, the colour adheres less well and you run the risk of discolouration or an uneven finish. The base coat creates a smooth foundation that protects the natural nail and keeps the gel polish sitting evenly. So if you want to enjoy your manicure for a long time, definitely don't skip the base coat.

Top coat: the protective layer for your colour

The top coat is the last step in your gel polish routine and takes care of the finishing touch. Whether you go for a glossy or a matte look, the top coat protects against chipping and gives your nails a well-groomed appearance. Don't forget to cure this layer under the UV or LED lamp as well, so your result is firm and durable.

Using a UV or LED lamp with base & top coats

Both gel polish base and top coats need to be cured under a UV or LED lamp. LED lamps often work faster, while UV lamps can be used universally. When applying, make sure you use thin layers and cure each layer properly before you continue. This prevents air bubbles and lifting, and gives you a smooth result.
