Growth

Healthy, chip-free wear that lasts beautifully over time.

Customers say this base coat makes manicures last significantly longer, with many reporting 3-4 weeks of wear. The thicker consistency provides extra support for thin, flexible nails. While some find it slightly tricky to apply at first, most note it's easy to use and creates a smooth finish.

    Life saver

    This rubber base is amazing! I wanted to.switch from salon acrylics to DIY gel. As my nails are literally paper I was not hopeful! However, this gives me no lifting, and although it moves with my nails it gives super strength. I've been able to grow my nails out really long with no issues. Ill never go back!!! So happy I found this, total game changer for me.
