Why It’s So Special
Presto has mastered the balance between strength and flexibility, making this base gel a staple in high-end salons.
- Gentle on Natural Nails: This is an acid-free formula, meaning it provides incredible grip without etching or damaging the natural nail plate over time.
- Superior Adhesion: Specifically formulated to prevent “pocket lifting” at the cuticle and free edge, even for clients with oily nail beds or those prone to lifting.
- Self-Levelling Perfection: The consistency is “just right”—it flows enough to fill in minor ridges on the natural nail but stays put without flooding the sidewalls.
- Easy Soak-Off: Despite its “iron-clad” grip, it breaks down quickly during removal, minimising the need for heavy scraping or filing.
- Bottle Convenience: The 13g bottle features a high-quality, professional-grade brush for fast, precise application during back-to-back appointments.

How to Use It
- Prep: Perform a dry manicure. Thoroughly cleanse the nail plate with a dehydrator/cleanser to remove oils and debris.
- Apply: Apply a thin, even coat of Presto Base Gel. Ensure you “cap” the free edge of the nail to lock in the product.
- Cure: Cure in an LED lamp for 20 seconds (or 120 seconds in a 36W UV lamp).
- Colour: Follow immediately with your chosen Presto Colour Gel. Note: Do not wipe the inhibition (tacky) layer after curing the base gel.
Pro Tip: For clients with extremely flexible or thin nails, apply a very thin “scrub layer” of base gel into the nail fibres first, then apply a second, slightly thicker layer to build a smooth surface before curing.
