Our most popular base coat for all the perks of a gel, and none of the fuss or damage. No LED or UV lamp is needed for that extended durability or ultra-plush look. A super smooth base makes painting a dream (not to mention, streak-free), and you get that luxe, cushiony finish for a look that lasts. And though this super base hardens into a strong foundation, it’s breathable and nourishing—both of which are key in supporting healthy nail growth.

  • No UV/LED lamp or special tools needed
  • Creates a cushion between your nail and polish for a plumper, smoother paint job
  • Gives the look of a gel but applies and removes easily like regular polish
  • Boosts mani-pedi longevity by gripping onto polish to prevent chipping and peeling
  • Deeply nourishes to help improve nail health and resilience

    Smooth Base

    This provides such a smooth base for any color I apply. My nails feel so strong and lacquer and nail veils stay put.

    Very pleased

    I bought base coat, illuminating concealer, top coat and quick drying oil. Very pleased so far. Lasts well and not difficult to remove like regular gel is.

    So, I've used this product for two weeks, with the Gel Genius Top Coat, and it's measurably different than other base coats. It dries quickly and provides a smooth surface for the nail color. Top it with the Gel Genius Top Coat, and it's like have a gel manicure. My color has been on four days and it still looks good. Noticeable chipping is absent and the edges are still holding up.

    Helps color stick better.

    All London Town products last well. But using this basecoat with the Gel Genius Topcoat, helps my manicure last even longer.
