    Fav Base Coat

    This base coat is one that I have been using for years & it has never failed me. My nails don't peel and every color ends up looking great with it. I personally use 2-3 layers of this before any color & it makes my nails very strong.

    THE BEST!!!

    Honestly you cannot beat Gelish brand!! I've tried other brands and my nails would chip within a week or so. NOT GELISH!! There is a reason the professionals use this brand ☺️

    I always come back to this base coat

    Gelish is wonderful to use since it works well with different brands. I've used this base coat and other prep products by gelish for years and love the quality. If the prep products are solid, the rest comes together well. I'm not a nail tech but I do my friends' nails frequently enough to go through base coat faster than I would if I were just doing my own nails. For this reason, I think the mini size is best for me. I can use all of the product up right before it expires. If you're a nail tech, you might want the bigger size. I've had to use expired gelish base coat before and the quality/product retention/adhesion was compromised - obviously. So I'd highly recommend this size if you're in a similar situation to me!:) Works well under just gel polish, gel overlays, or gel extensions in my experience. :)

FAQs

What is Gelish foundation used for?

Gelish Foundation is a professional soak-off base gel designed to create a secure adhesive bond between the natural nail plate and gel polish layers. It effectively prevents lifting and chipping while safeguarding the natural nail from polish stains.

How long does Gelish base coat take to cure?

This advanced base coat cures incredibly fast, requiring just 5 to 10 seconds under a standard LED lamp. If you are using a traditional UV lamp, it will take approximately 30 to 60 seconds to secure a complete bond.

What is the difference between foundation gel and base coat?

Foundation gel is Gelish's specialized term for their high-adhesion base coat. It serves the exact same purpose as a traditional gel base coat but is uniquely engineered to optimize the longevity and bond of the Gelish salon system.

Is this Gelish MINI Foundation Base Coat authentic and available in India?

Yes, it is available for delivery across India. Dropy sources this product directly from authorized suppliers in the USA, ensuring you receive a 100% authentic imported item in its original professional packaging.

Can I use Gelish Foundation with other brands of gel polish?
