Long Lasting Base Gel

Shills Professional Long Lasting Base Gel is a professional UV/LED-curable foundation gel designed to create a smooth, reliable base layer before gel polish application. Formulated as the first gel layer applied after proper nail preparation, it helps improve the foundation of the manicure by supporting adhesion between the natural nail surface and subsequent gel colour layers. Its clear, easy-to-control consistency allows nail technicians to create a thin and even coating without adding unnecessary bulk to the finished manicure.

The Long Lasting Base Gel is ideal for professional gel manicure and pedicure services where clean preparation, dependable application and a smooth colour foundation are essential. By creating a uniform base over the prepared nail, it helps the following gel polish layers apply more evenly while supporting a polished, salon-quality result.

Unlike a top coat, which is applied at the end of a manicure to seal and finish the colour, this base gel is specifically designed for use before gel polish. It forms the foundation of the gel system and should be cured under a compatible UV or LED nail lamp before colour application.

Step 1 – Prepare the Natural Nails:
Clean the hands and nails thoroughly. Shape the free edge and carefully prepare the cuticle area according to your normal professional manicure procedure.

Step 2 – Prepare the Nail Surface:
Gently remove surface shine where required by the selected gel system. Avoid excessive filing of the natural nail.

Step 3 – Remove Dust and Oil:
Clean away all filing dust, oil and residue. The nail surface should be clean and dry before base gel application.

Step 4 – Apply Nail Preparation Products if Required:
If your manicure system requires dehydrator or primer, apply these products according to their individual directions.

Step 5 – Apply Long Lasting Base Gel:
Apply a thin, controlled layer over the entire nail surface. Keep the product close to, but not touching, the surrounding skin or cuticle.

Step 6 – Seal the Free Edge:
Lightly cap the free edge where appropriate to complete the base application.

Step 7 – Cure Under UV/LED Lamp:
Cure the base gel under a compatible UV or LED nail lamp according to the recommended curing instructions for the product system.

Step 8 – Apply Gel Polish Colour:
Once the base gel has been properly cured, apply the selected gel polish colour in thin, even layers. Cure each layer separately.

Step 9 – Finish with Top Coat:
After the desired colour coverage is achieved, apply a compatible gel top coat and cure to complete the manicure.
