GELCOAT SOAK OFF BASE

The base you can trust. The comfort you feel from the moment of application.

Aprés Gelcoat Base has been reformulated to provide a smoother, more durable, and more comfortable wear. Designed as the essential first step for a perfect manicure, this flexible base gel creates a uniform surface ideal for gel color application or any type of nail enhancement.

With only 9% HEMA — well below the professional limit of 35% — this base perfectly balances safety and superior adhesion, making it an ideal choice for technicians and more sensitive clients alike.

It cures in just 30 seconds, has low odor, and its self-leveling formula ensures a consistent surface that maximizes color adhesion while helping to prevent lifting and chipping.

Available in 15 ml and 30 ml sizes to suit your workflow.
