Base coat

What is a base coat?
For the perfect manicure, you need a number of basic tools, but one of the most important is a base coat. This is a layer of clear polish that you apply before painting your nails with a coloured polish. See a base coat as a primer for your nails before you start the real work. This polish is mainly there to protect your nail plate as the pigments in nail polish can stain your nail. A base coat puts a layer over your nail to prevent discoloration! In addition to this, your nail polish adheres better to this layer, so that your nail polish stays on longer. Win-win!

A good base coat has several functions. Not only does it protect against discoloration and help your nail polish adhere better, the Ridge Filling Base Coat also ensures, for example, that the ridges on your nail plate are evened out. Your nails become smooth, even and extra shiny. The Oxy Power Base Coat is an oxygen-permeable base coat based on nanotechnology, which ensures that the nail plate is closed off from colour pigments, but not from oxygen. The ingredients silica, vitamin E and nutmeg oil take care of your nail plate from the inside out. Your nails do not become brittle, but remain in great condition. This base coat can also be used as a decorative lacquer, because it has such a nice shine. Make sure to take a good look at which base coat nail polish best suits your nail condition.

How does a base coat work?
Before painting your nails, it’s always important to clean your nails and then degrease them with a remover. This way the polish adheres best to your clean and grease-free nail plate. Did you know that it’s actually better to apply two thin layers of base coat than one thick one? A thin layer dries faster and also ensures that your coloured nail polish dries better. As soon as the base coat is dry, apply a coloured polish and then finish with a top coat. If you want to paint your nails again, just remove all layers with a remover. The best part is that you don’t have to worry about discoloured or damaged nails!
