    Not a fan

    the consistency was so thin and really hard to work with as a base coat, it really felt like standard nail polish and came out really streaky. I will be sticking with the clear rubber base which has a better consistency and serves as a much stronger base for the gels/builder gels.

    Hi Tess,

    Thank you so much for your feedback. That does sound concerning, as the base coat shouldn’t be that thin or difficult to work with.

    Could you please reach out to our customer service team at info@gelous.co
    so we can look into this further for you? We’d love to help and make sure everything is working as it should.

    Thanks again for bringing this to our attention! 💖

    Nice base

    Great base coat. The rubber works amazing to help my nail strength and the white colour is great to create a base for colours that might be sheer

    Worth It

    If using the white builder I definitely recommend using this as well! really adds to the colour depth and goes on really smooth.
