A fast-drying base coat formulated to create manicures that last. The breakthrough technology, activated by sunlight, is what makes this one of our toughest nail primers yet: it creates a strong, gel-like foundation that grips onto color for up to two weeks of wear. The polish dries down to a smooth finish to ensure that lakurs apply flawlessly.

  • Formulated without: Formaldehyde, Toulene, DBP, Camphor, Barium Sulfate, Ethyl Tosylamide, Acetone, Benzyl Benzoate
  • Vegan, gluten-free, paraben-free, cruelty-free

Start with clean nails. Apply one thin, even coat to bare nails. Follow with 1-2 coats of lakur and any kur® top coat as a final touch. For best results, pair with Gel Genius Top Coat.

    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.

    Perfect Base

    This dries fast and provides the perfect foundation for applying color. The colors go on like velvet. With the corresponding top coat, I get about 9 days of chip feee wear.
