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.

    Amazing rubber base

    I absolutely love this product helps strengthen and improve growth with your nails without one of them breaking! Works well as a glue for acrylics without ripping nails

    Easy

    Very easy to use, good for gluing down extensions, cures well under the UV light. The lovely lady at the store told me this is good to glue down extensions. Make sure the gel extensions are clear so the UV Light can cure all the way though. I will insert a photo of how the extensions look when I glued down with this base, safe to say they are stuck on there good.
