Choosing the right base coat is a crucial step for achieving a long-lasting and healthy manicure. We know that selecting the correct Semilac base provides the perfect foundation for both color intensity and nail protection. Even subtle differences in base formulas can significantly affect the final result.

Understanding different base options

Before applying any polish, it is important to recognize the variety of bases available. Each type is designed for specific purposes, from natural nails to extensions, ensuring optimal adhesion and durability:

• Semilac Base 11 ml – classic formula providing smooth and even coverage

• Semilac Base 30 ml – larger size for frequent use, consistent results

• Barely Butter 929 – soft nude shade ideal for subtle, professional looks

• Pale Nude Extend 816 – multifunctional 8-in-1 base combining protection and light pigmentation

Selecting the right base for different nail needs

Choosing the correct base depends on the condition of the natural nail and the desired outcome. Thicker bases are perfect for smoothing irregularities, while thinner ones maintain the natural texture. Using the right Semilac base ensures the polish adheres evenly and increases the longevity of the manicure.

For professional use, there are a few clear applications to consider:

• For strengthening weak or brittle nails, select a base that provides added support and reduces the risk of chipping.

• When applying highly pigmented colors, a smooth standard base ensures an even finish without streaks.

• Multifunctional bases like Pale Nude Extend 816 save time by combining protection, adhesion, and subtle coverage in one step.

• Neutral shades such as Barely Butter 929 create a versatile canvas for delicate designs or minimalist nail art.

Application tips and maintaining nail health

Apply a thin, even layer of your chosen Semilac base and cure it under the lamp according to instructions. For stronger results, layering two thin coats is an option, especially when using vivid or darker colors. Correct application not only protects the natural nail but also ensures the polish applied on top performs at its best.
