Bases and Tops – Essential Products for Gel Polish Manicure
Bases and Tops are key elements of a complete gel polish manicure. They support correct product application, help create a durable finish and allow you to achieve different styling effects.
The LART range includes several Base and Top formulas designed for different working methods, nail types and finishing preferences.
BB Bases
LART BB Bases are tinted Base products available in different shades. They provide a subtle colour effect and are a practical choice for natural-looking manicures.
They are especially useful for styles such as French manicure and Baby Boomer, where a soft, even Base colour helps create a clean and elegant finish.
Easy Off Base
Easy Off Base is a flexible Base designed for gel polish manicure and easier removal of compatible soak-off styling.
It is a convenient option for users who regularly change their manicure and prefer a Base suited to a simpler removal process.
Infinity Base and Infinity Top Coat
Infinity Base and Infinity Top Coat are designed to work together as part of the LART gel polish system.
Infinity Base is used during the preparation and building stage, while Infinity Top Coat completes the manicure with a glossy finish.
When using Infinity Base, always follow the specific application instructions, including guidance on whether Primer is required.
No Wipe Top Coat
No Wipe Top Coat is a finishing product that does not require removal of a dispersion layer after curing.
It provides a glossy finish and simplifies the final stage of the manicure by eliminating the need for Cleaner after curing.
Velour Top Coat
Velour Top Coat creates a matte finish and is available in classic and decorative versions.
Selected variants contain subtle particles in finishes such as gold, silver or pink, allowing you to create different effects using the same Gel Polish Color underneath.

It can be used to transform classic colours and create more expressive finishes for selected styles and occasions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gel Polish Bases and Tops
Can gel polish Base be used for nail extension?
Some Base products may allow limited structure or short extension, depending on their formulation and intended use.
Always check the instructions for the selected Base before using it for building or extending the natural nail.
How should gel polish Base be applied?
Base should be applied according to the instructions for the selected product, usually in a controlled, even layer.
The product should then be cured in a compatible UV/LED lamp for the recommended time.
Can gel polish Top be used over gel styling?
This depends on the specific Top and gel system. Some finishing products may be compatible with more than one styling method, but the product instructions should always be checked before use.
What are the advantages of a matte Top?
A matte Top changes the final appearance of the manicure by creating a soft, velvety finish instead of gloss.
It can be used over different Gel Polish Colors to create additional styling combinations without changing the base colour.
Can Bases and Tops from different brands be combined?
Different brands may use different formulations and curing requirements.
For the most predictable application process, it is recommended to use products designed to work together and follow the instructions for the selected system.
How can chipping be reduced when using Base and Top?
Proper nail preparation, controlled product layers and correct curing are important for manicure durability.
Avoid flooding the cuticle area and follow the recommended application procedure for the selected Base, Color and Top products.
How should gel polish Top be removed?
Removal depends on the type of Top and the system underneath it. For compatible soak-off systems, the surface may first need to be gently filed before using an appropriate acetone or Remover method.
Avoid peeling or aggressively filing product from the natural nail plate.
