The Foundation You Can Trust. Comfort You Can Feel. The Aprés Base Gelcoat has been reformulated for smoother, stronger, more comfortable wear. Designed as the first step to a perfect manicure, this soft gel creates a flawless base layer for gel colour or enhancements. With only 9% HEMA—far less than the 35% limit in pro-use formulas—this base coat balances safety with superior adhesion, making it ideal for both pros and sensitive clients. It cures in just 30 seconds, offers low odour, and self-levels to create an even surface that grips gel colour and prevents lifting or chipping. Available in both 15ml and 30ml sizes to fit your workflow.
