Features and Benefits:

• Unparalleled Adhesion for Lasting Manicures: The OPI Gelcolor Super Base Base Coat is meticulously formulated to create a smooth and even surface on the natural nail, ensuring the gel colour adheres perfectly. This base coat acts as a binding layer between the natural nail and the gel polish, which helps to extend the life of the manicure, reducing the likelihood of chipping and peeling. As a professional, this means fewer returns for touch-ups and more satisfied clients who leave your salon with a smile.
• Enhanced Flexibility: One of the standout features of this base coat is its flexibility. Unlike other base coats that can be rigid, leading to cracks and breaks, the OPI Gelcolor Stay Classic Base Coat moves with the natural nail. This flexibility is crucial for clients with more active lifestyles, as it reduces the risk of breakage, ensuring that their manicures remain flawless for longer. For you as a professional, this means happier clients and a reputation for providing durable, high-quality nail services.
• Superior Protection: The OPI Gelcolor Super Base Base Coat not only enhances the adhesion of the gel colour but also provides a protective barrier for the natural nail. It helps to prevent staining and discolouration from the gel polish, which is particularly important when using darker shades. This protective feature ensures that your clients’ natural nails remain healthy and unblemished, enhancing their overall experience and trust in your services.
• Quick and Easy Application: Time is money in a busy salon environment, and the OPI Gelcolor Super Base Base Coat is designed with efficiency in mind. Its smooth consistency ensures an even application every time, with a quick drying time that reduces waiting periods between layers. This efficiency allows you to service more clients in less time, increasing your turnover without compromising on quality.

How to Use:

1. Prep the Nails: Begin by thoroughly cleansing the nails and removing any residual oils with a nail cleanser. Shape the nails and gently buff the surface to create an even base. Push back the cuticles and trim any excess skin.
2. Apply the Base Coat: Shake the OPI Gelcolor Super Base Base Coat well before use. Apply a thin, even layer to each nail, ensuring that you cap the free edge for maximum durability. Avoid flooding the cuticle area for a cleaner finish.
3. Cure the Base Coat: Place the nails under an LED lamp and cure for 30 seconds, or 1 minute under a UV lamp. Ensure all nails are evenly exposed to the light for a thorough cure.
4. Apply Gel Colour: Once the base coat is fully cured, proceed with your chosen OPI Gelcolor shade. Apply two thin layers, curing each layer under the LED or UV lamp.
5. Finish with Top Coat: Seal the look with an OPI Super Gloss Gelcolor Top Coat, curing it under the lamp. Wipe the nails with a nail cleanser to remove any tacky residue, revealing a high-gloss finish.
6. Moisturise: Complete the service by applying cuticle oil and moisturiser to nourish the nails and skin.
