A very effective, yet extremely gentle hybrid base, dedicated to very thin, weak, and damaged nails, designed for use under hybrid polishes. It harmonizes perfectly with the natural nail plate - evens out irregularities, fills in any damage, and creates a flexible, extremely durable protective coating. It envelops the tired nail plate like a bandage, strengthens it, hardens it, and extends the durability of the manicure. Additionally, the base completely eliminates the risk of air bubbles, chipping, and peeling of hybrid polishes, even in the case of very long nails.

Types of Hybrid Bases - Which One to Choose?

The hybrid base is the foundation of a long-lasting manicure, providing better adhesion of the polish and protection for the natural nail plate. The choice of the appropriate base depends on the condition of the nails and the expected effect.

• Classic hybrid base is a universal product with medium density, which provides excellent adhesion of the hybrid polish. It is an ideal choice for people with healthy and strong nails. It protects the nail plate and extends the durability of the styling without altering its structure.
• Acid-free hybrid base is a gentle formula created for people with sensitive nail plates. It does not contain acids, thus it does not cause irritation or dryness. It is safe for nails prone to damage and can be used frequently for hybrid manicures.
• Protein base is a product enriched with nourishing ingredients such as proteins, keratin, and calcium, which support the regeneration and strengthening of weakened nail plates. It is an excellent choice for those who want to take care of the condition of their nails while wearing hybrids. It can be used under color or on its own for a natural effect.
• Strengthening base is a product with increased resistance, designed for thin, brittle, and weak nails. It creates a protective layer on the plate, preventing breakage and splitting. It gives nails a harder structure, making them less susceptible to damage.
• Building - modeling base is a dense base that allows for building up and smoothing the nail structure. It works well for strengthening the natural plate as well as for evening it out. Often available in milky and natural shades, it can replace color in delicate stylings like French manicure or baby boomer.

The selection of the appropriate base depends on the condition of the nails and the expected effect - each type of base serves a specific function, supporting the healthy appearance and durability of hybrid manicures.

When is it Worth Using a Hybrid Base?

The hybrid base is an essential element of a hybrid manicure and should be used in the following situations:

• For weak, thin, or damaged nails: The strengthening base protects the natural nail plate, evens out irregularities, and fills in damage, which is crucial for achieving a long-lasting manicure.
• To extend the durability of the manicure: With the right preparation of the nail surface, the hybrid base eliminates the risk of air bubbles, chipping, and peeling of the polish, increasing the resistance of the styling to damage.
• When you care about a perfect finish: Using a base allows for achieving a uniform, smooth surface, facilitating the application of subsequent layers of polish and ensuring intense color and high gloss.
• In case of difficulties with polish application: The hybrid base makes it easier for the polish to adhere to the nail, which is particularly important when the natural plate has irregularities or is weakened.

In summary, it is worth using a hybrid base when you care about durability, aesthetics, and the health of your nails, regardless of their condition.

Removing hybrid nails is the process of safely removing hybrid nail polish without damaging the natural nail plate. Hybrid nail polish is removed using a specialized, acetone-free product that does not dry out the natural nail plate and the skin surrounding the nail, does not cause discoloration of the nails, and does not leave a white residue. Alternatively, hybrids can also be removed using a nail drill, allowing for quick and precise removal of the styling without the need for nail polish removers.

When is it worth removing hybrid nails:

• When the styling has lost its aesthetic appeal, there are chips or regrowth.
• In case of weakened nails, to give them time to regenerate.
• If you plan to change the color or get a new styling.
• In situations where the hybrid nail polish starts to peel off, which can lead to nail damage.
• After about 2-3 weeks, when the styling needs refreshing.
