What is the Calyx Gel Base Coat? 

The Calyx Gel Base Coat is a clear, professional-grade base gel polish applied as the first layer of any gel nail service. It bonds the natural nail with your gel color or builder gel to keep the manicure secure and long-lasting. 

Why Professionals Prefer a Quality Base Coat Gel 

Skipping or compromising on your base coat? That’s a mistake. Here’s why investing in a premium gel base coat makes all the difference: 

✅ Stronger Bonding: Locks your gel color in place and prevents lifting 

✅ Protects Natural Nails: Shields the nail plate from staining and damage 

✅ Smooth Finish: Helps your polish look more even and glossy 

✅ Fast Curing: Saves time during busy salon hours with LED/UV compatibility 

For best results, follow this professional step-by-step process when applying the Calyx Gel Base Coat: 

1. Prep the Natural Nail:  Begin by cleaning and filing the nails to your desired shape. Gently push back the cuticles and buff the nail surface. Make sure the nails are free of dust, oil, or moisture. 
2. Dehydrate and Cleanse:  Use a nail cleanser or dehydrator to ensure the nail plate is completely clean and oil-free. This step is essential for maximum adhesion of the base coat gel. 
3. Apply a Thin Layer of Base Coat:  Apply a thin, even coat of the Calyx Gel Base Coat over each nail. Be careful to avoid flooding the cuticles or touching the skin around the nails. Always cap the free edge to seal the tip. 
4. Cure Under Nail Lamp:  Cure the base coat under an LED lamp for 30 seconds or under a UV lamp for 60 seconds. Make sure the hand is placed flat under the lamp for even curing across all nails. 
5. Proceed with Gel Color or Builder Gel:  Once cured, the base coat will leave a slightly tacky layer—this is normal and helps gel polish adhere better. You can now apply your chosen gel polish color, nail art design, or builder gel layer on top.
