APRÉS Gel Base Coat 15ml — Low‑HEMA, TPO‑Free Self‑Leveling Soak‑Off Base for Long‑Lasting Gel

APRÉS Base Gelcoat is a low‑HEMA, TPO‑free self‑leveling soak‑off base coat that creates a smooth, long‑lasting foundation for gel color and nail enhancements.

Reformulated for smoother application and improved comfort, this 15ml base coat balances salon‑grade performance with a gentler ingredient profile. With only 9% HEMA and a TPO‑free formula, it’s made to reduce sensitivity while maintaining strong adhesion, fast curing, and a low‑odor experience. APRÉS Base Gelcoat is engineered to self‑level for an even surface that helps color grips and minimizes lifting or chipping, curing fully in 30 seconds under an LED lamp.

How does the base coat improve manicure durability?

APRÉS Base Gelcoat forms a resilient bond between the natural nail and gel polish to reduce premature lifting and chipping. The formula balances tack and flexibility so finished color layers stay adhered through daily wear.

• Strong adhesion that resists edge lifting
• Medium viscosity for a uniform layer that won’t pool
• Compatible with APRÉS and most professional gel systems

Is this suitable for sensitive clients or those concerned about chemicals?

This base coat is designed with sensitivity in mind: it contains only 9% HEMA—well below common professional limits—and excludes TPO, reducing the potential for irritation. Low odor and a minimal heat spike during curing make application more comfortable for many clients.

• Low‑HEMA (9%) formula to lower exposure
• TPO‑free photoinitiation to avoid certain additives
• Low odor and reduced curing heat for client comfort

How quickly and easily does it cure and apply?

The gelcoat self‑levels thanks to a medium viscosity that smooths natural nail imperfections with one thin coat. It fully cures in 30 seconds under an LED lamp, allowing a fast workflow for busy salons or efficient at‑home routines.

• Self‑leveling texture for a smooth base layer
• 30‑second cure time under LED lamps
• Easy to apply without dragging or thick ridges

Will it work with enhancements and colored gels?

Yes — this base coat is formulated to sit beneath colored gels, builder gels, or gel extensions and create a reliable foundation. Its balanced tack helps subsequent layers bond while maintaining flexibility to accommodate natural nail movement.

• Ideal for gel polish, gel color, and enhancement systems
• Creates an even surface that improves color payoff and longevity
• Leaves a consistent tack for secure layer adhesion
