DuraGel Gel Polish Color Base
Perfectly balanced texture, ideal for strengthening and building the apex (neither too thick nor too runny), with a self-leveling consistency that speeds up the application process. The base is harder, yet flexible enough for gel polish and the natural movement of the nails.
DuraGel Color Bases can be applied directly to the prepared natural nail. However, for problematic nails, as well as glitter bases, we recommend using DuraGel 1 Step first. This way, during refill or glitter removal, you don’t need to file down to the natural nail.
Usage:
Prepare the nail by pushing back or removing excess cuticle.
Shape the natural nail and prep with a file (not a buffer!), apply Nail Prep & Scrub dehydrator and Magic Airbond.
Apply Duragel step 1 if desired, rub it well into the nail and seal the edges. Cure, then continue with the chosen color base by first applying a slip layer rubbed into the nail (do not cure), and then build the apex with a second bead at the desired spot to strengthen the nail.
👉 Curing time is 90 seconds, only in combi UV/LED lamps with a minimum power of 48 W.
After curing, if there are any minor imperfections, you can cleanse the base and gently file with a file or buffer.
Apply color and top coat, or leave just the color base and finish with top coat.
✨ Tips & Tricks
Duragel color bases open endless possibilities – their use is almost unlimited!
As color bases for gel polish – with or without apex building (we recommend building an apex and adding an extra layer for more strength)
As standalone colors – soft, elegant, and long-lasting
As a base for French – for a perfectly neat and refined look
As soft semi-transparent shades – applied over builder gel or acrygel for a natural, elegant impression.
👉 You can apply them:
- In one layer over gel – for a sheer, soft color effect
- In two layers – for stronger coverage and a more intense look
