The foundation to any natural nail manicure is a good base. Our Base Gelcoat X formula has a rubberized formula that creates a thicker gel that offers better grip. This is an ideal formula for those who seem to still experience lifting with our Base Gelcoat. Like all Aprés gel products, Base Gelcoat X is made from a versatile soft gel formula that evens and smooths out the surface of the nail, creating an optimal surface for color application. It adheres to the nail, creating long lasting manicures, but is also easily soaked off.

Base Gelcoat X

Default Title

This rubber base is the perfect thickness for filling in the space between the edge of the tip and the cuticle. I don’t like to get the tips right up to the skin because it makes them so much more prone to lifting. Instead I get them about a mm or two away and then come back and fill in the edges with this base coat. It blends it together perfectly and even if I use a sheer color over top, you can’t see the line. It’s the perfect thickness to do this in one quick application. I love and highly recommend.

In case you’re not sure how this fits into gelx process… because I definitely wasn’t sure. I couldn’t find any instructions or tutorials that included the rubber base in the application process. 

Here’s the convo I had with the Aprés chat AI:

Works great. I love the thickness of this base gel. Also the 30 sec drying makes it even better. Will order again.

Christopher Dixon

Love this gel base. applies easily and makes the color go on well and stick.

this base is so easy to work with. it's thick so it makes me natural nails not so easy to break. it's also not gloopy or clumpy. my nail did crack because i accidentally hit it hard head on on my counter, but with this base, one coat of color, and a top coat, it helped keep my nail together a little longer.

Cuando lo utilizas se crea un grumo o burbujas pequeñas en todas las uñas

I love love love this base coat. I have very thin and weak nails, that ALWAYS CHIP!. This is a great product to help with this issue because it is thicker than normal base coats. An extra strength layer. It is so shiny when it cures.

(I am not a professional) If you're someone that is lazy like me, and has days where they'd like to have sickening nails, but don't want to do a whole lot of prep work, this is for you.  My natural nails are ridged AF, and even though I'm a healthcare worker that also is an undergrad student, and though my hands go through hell daily, I still want my nails to look cute so that patients don't see Shrek nails coming at them.  This stuff does work, keeps my gel looking fresh, and best of all, it stays on.  Get this if you are a busy person that doesn't have any time or motivation to do a whole lot of prep work!

This base coat is high in viscosity so it’s great for beginners. Holding the brush flat while applying helps fill in corrugations, giving the nail a nice smooth surface. I always apply this on my clients nails when applying a Gel X set. I also love this for clients who want gel polish and have thinning, flaky, or brittle nails. The durability of a gel mani with this is insane. Buy it.

My clients love how it protects their nails 2× stronger than a normal gel manicure. It has a nice plumbing effect without being too thick.

I’m not a professional, but apres nail products seem to be the best and provide the best results. No complaints.

Wiselene Dorceus

I love this base gel. Goes on easy and cures fast

Terra Henson

Love it!!! It’s a little thicker than what I was used to but after using it more I definitely love better than others I have used
In the past.

The bottle I received is thick and clumpy with goo balls in it. Totally unusable the one nail I managed to get it on popped off within hours of application. Usually their products are very good, but I have had some of the colored extend gel that was defective and no this product. Don’t know if it was improper storage or the product itself.  This was after waiting an extra week and a half for the order. Apparently they were having issues with one wear house and had it shipped from another.

I’ve already used this base twice and my nails do not budge does help with longevity, really obsessed

This base coat is thick like builder gel and it makes the nail bed super smooth for polish. The thick consistency fills in the gaps/scratches that are already in the nail bed so it’s perfect for nail polish afterwards. Cannot recommend it enough
