Choosing the right base is essential for strong, long-lasting nails. Nail pros and enthusiasts often ask: what’s the difference between rubber base and regular gel base? Here’s what you need to know.
Regular Gel Base
-
Thin & Lightweight: Provides a smooth foundation for gel polish.
-
Flexible but Less Build: Works well for natural nails but may lack strength for extensions.
-
Quick Curing: Cures fast under LED/UV lamps for easy application.
Rubber Base
-
Thicker & More Elastic: Adds strength and flexibility, reducing lifting and chipping.
-
Perfect for Extensions & Sculpting: Supports longer nails and layered designs.
-
Enhanced Adhesion: Creates a better bond for gel polishes and builder gels.
Which One is Right for You?
-
Use regular gel base for natural nails or simple gel polish applications.
-
Use rubber base for stronger nails, extensions, or layered designs that require extra support.
