Compact Base Gel – Priming and reinforcement in one step
Compact Base Gel is the combo product among Crystal Nails base gels: it replaces the separate primer and reinforces the natural nail in the same step. The HEMA-free formula is flexible, follows the shape of the nail and provides a strong hold. Despite its density – it is the densest base gel in the line – the consistency can be spread effortlessly with a brush, levels itself perfectly and thus supports building a level surface.
The application is deliberately streamlined: Spray Prep (or Nail Prep) is sufficient as preparation, no primer is required. After curing, the gel polish color can be applied directly without prior fixing – the gel forms the ideal base for it. As a soak-off system, it can later be gently removed again.
Typical uses in the salon: priming under all gel and AcrylGel systems, natural nail reinforcement, building the C-curve, nail correction and extension with a form. Available in 11 variants – from Clear and Translucent through Milky shades to the more opaque Cover shades Pink and Rose – each in 8 ml or 13 ml.
