Halo Gel Polish Plus 12ml - Top & Base Coats

Build a dependable foundation and complete every manicure with the perfect finish using Halo Gel Polish Plus Top and Base Coats. Developed for professional nail technicians, the collection includes three specialised base coats and three finishing top coats to suit different nail types, retention requirements and desired effects.

Each generous 12ml bottle features an EU-made, HEMA-free and TPO-free formula. When combined with correct preparation and Halo Gel Polish Plus colour, the system helps deliver smooth application, secure adhesion and long-lasting salon results.

Available Options

• Base Coat: Creates a smooth, even foundation that improves colour adhesion, helps prevent staining and supports long-lasting wear.
• Super Base Coat: Provides enhanced adhesion for clients prone to lifting, chipping or shorter wear times. Pure Nails states that it can provide retention of up to six weeks with correct preparation and application, although removal may take longer.
• Rubber Base Coat: A flexible option for thin, brittle or problematic nails. It helps absorb everyday stress, reduce lifting and provide a protective barrier beneath highly pigmented colours.
• Non-Wipe Top Coat: Creates a glossy, tack-free finish that does not require cleansing after curing.
• Diamond Top Coat: Contains fine, light-reflecting glitter particles for a glossy, non-tacky finish with a delicate diamond-like shimmer.
• UV Protect Top Coat: Helps preserve bright colours that may be prone to fading from UV exposure. It cures with a tacky layer that must be cleansed after curing.

3. Apply a thin layer of the selected base coat, avoiding the surrounding skin and sealing the free edge.
4. Cure for 60 seconds in a compatible Halo UV/LED lamp.
5. Continue with two thin coats of Halo Gel Polish Plus colour, curing each coat for 60 seconds.

Rubber Base Coat

1. Use dry nail preparation and avoid water or cuticle remover.
2. Etch the nail plate carefully using a 180-grit file.
3. Dehydrate with Halo Prep & Scrub, followed by acetone to remove remaining oils.
4. Apply a minimal amount of Rubber Base Coat using small back-and-forth movements to work it into the nail.
5. Cure for 120 seconds in a compatible Pure Nails lamp.
6. Apply colour and top coat as normal.

Top Coats

2. Cure according to the instructions printed on the selected bottle and the compatible lamp being used.
3. Non-Wipe Top Coat: No cleansing is required after curing.

How to Remove

1. Buff through the top coat using a 180-grit nail file.
2. Saturate cotton wool with acetone and secure it over each nail with foil.
3. Allow the acetone to work for approximately 5–10 minutes. Super Base Coat may require additional removal time.
4. Remove the foil and gently slide away the softened gel with a suitable removal tool.
5. Repeat the soak if necessary. Do not force or scrape uncured gel from the natural nail.
6. Remove remaining residue, refine the nail with a fine buffer and apply cuticle oil.
