The Foundation You Can Trust. Comfort You Can Feel.

The Aprés Base Gelcoat has been reformulated for smoother, stronger, and more comfortable wear. As the essential first step to a perfect manicure, this soft gel creates a flawless base layer for gel color or enhancements. With only 9% HEMA—well below the 35% limit in pro-use formulas—this base coat balances safety with superior adhesion, making it ideal for both professionals and sensitive clients.

It cures in just 30 seconds, offers low odor, and self-levels to create an even surface that grips gel color and prevents lifting or chipping. Available in 15ml and 30ml sizes to fit your workflow.
