Collection: Base, Builder & Top Gel

Korean gel basics for base, builder, overlay and top-coat workflows

This collection is the service foundation drawer for Korean gel nail work. Instead of browsing only by colour, it brings together the support products that sit underneath or above a finished design: base gels, builder or overlay gels, clear structure products and finishing top gels.

A good salon workflow usually separates these roles. Base gels support adhesion and preparation, builder gels help with structure and reinforcement, overlay gels can support shape or strength, and top gels define the final gloss, matte or specialty finish. The right choice depends on the nail service, the client’s wearing goal and the gel system used at the table.

Use the individual product pages for exact details. Compare viscosity, bottle or jar size, intended role, cure guidance where supplied, compatibility notes, ingredients, warnings and stock status. This overview is a buying route, not a replacement for the product-specific instructions.

For salons, this collection is useful for restocking basics, building starter benches for Korean gel services, and pairing colour collections with the correct base and finish products before offering them in a service menu.

Think of this category as a service architecture page: prep and adhesion at the start, structure in the middle, and surface finish at the end. When the bench is organised this way, technicians can pair each colour or art product with the support layer it needs rather than choosing basics only at checkout.

For repeat ordering, it can help to separate daily-use basics from specialty support gels. Keep notes on which base, builder and top combinations your salon uses most often, then use this page as the quick restock route.
