Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between make-up gel and camouflage gel?
Our make-up gels are builder gels: they're sculpted over a base gel or one-phase gel and give the nail shape and strength. Our camouflage gels from the Base One Cover range are one-phase gels with high coverage. Both visually lengthen the nail bed and conceal unevenness. Explained in detail in our guide Make-up gel vs camouflage gel: the difference.
What is make-up gel used for in nail enhancements?
You use make-up gel for a natural nail look: to visually lengthen the nail bed, for full cover and to conceal unevenness and discolouration of the nail plate. The make-up gel can then be followed by a French gel, a colour gel or nail art.
How do I apply make-up gel correctly?
- Prep the nail as usual and apply a thin layer of primer if needed.
- Apply base gel or one-phase gel and cure – don't remove the sticky layer.
- Apply the make-up gel with a gel brush, following the shape of the natural nail, and cure.
- Leave the sticky layer on: it acts as a bonding agent for French or colour gel.
- Finish with sealing gel and, if necessary, remove the sticky layer with cleaner.
Which camouflage gel is suitable for baby boomer nails?
All camouflage gels in our Base One Cover range are suitable for baby boomer nails: Cover French Pink, Cover Dark French Pink, Cover DARK and Cover LIGHT. Our guide Baby boomer & French nails shows you how to get the perfect gradient.
Is camouflage gel suitable for beginners too?
Yes. According to the product information, the camouflage gels in the Base One Cover range are suitable for beginners, advanced users and professionals. As one-phase gels, they cover several steps with one gel – which makes getting started easier.
Does camouflage gel need to be sealed?
Camouflage gels have their own natural shine. For a stronger gloss, we recommend sealing the nails at the end with finish gel and then removing the sticky layer with cleaner and a lint-free wipe.
How long does make-up gel or camouflage gel need to cure?
That depends on the gel and your lamp. According to the product information, our make-up gels need 120 seconds in a UV or UV/LED lamp, and the Base One Cover camouflage gels 120 seconds in a 48-watt UV/LED lamp. Always follow the instructions for the product and your UV/LED nail lamp.
Can I test make-up gels and camouflage gels first?
Yes. The make-up gel test kit contains three make-up gels, and the camouflage gel test kit six camouflage gels – each in 15 ml. Find out what's inside in our guides to the make-up gel test kit and the camouflage gel test kit.
