Is rubber peel base the same as rubber base coat

Question:

Is rubber peel base the same as rubber base coat?

Answer:

A ‘peel base’ does not adhere to the nail plate and allows any coating to be peeled off thus avoiding the need for soaking etc. It is designed for temporary coatings or for students practicing application.

A ‘rubber base’ is a version of a base coat that does adhere to the nail plate and it gives weak nails some extra strength, usually, under a UV gel polish. It is designed for weak nails that are very flexible.

Gel polish is a type of nail polish that is cured under UV or LED light to create a hard, durable and glossy coating. It is a two-step process that involves applying a base coat, followed by the gel polish color, and then finishing with a top coat. <\/p>\n
\n

The gel polish is composed of a mixture of monomers, oligomers, pigments, and other additives that polymerize when exposed to light. This creates a strong bond with the natural nail, making the manicure long-lasting and resistant to chipping, peeling and cracking. <\/p>\n

Gel polish is typically removed by soaking the nails in acetone, and is a popular choice for people looking for a low-maintenance, high-shine manicure.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_c0fe0b3a4644dbc02acdaadbe8507e77":"

Base coats are used in nail coatings and are designed to have good adhesion to the nail plate. In a traditional nail polish it can also prevent any staining by the colour coating.

It is essential to use with a UV gel system (unless the specific brand has been formulated with its own adhesion properties) as it will adhere to the nail plate and also to the subsequent layers.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_3301334d7b41d59c5fe2f5d888d1da1e":"
