We understand that some users are having issues with Rubber Base+ and FlexiBase. To address this, the testing Team has been working closely with our manufacturing partner and identified the following key factors found to be causing issues:
- Clients with naturally oily nails.
- Older nail lamps that may not be curing at full power (all products are tested and developed using Pure Nails Lamps).
- Applying the base layer too thickly.
After several weeks of testing and live trials with our customer base we have the following alternative application method:
- Dry preparation only – avoid water or cuticle remover.
- Etch the nail with a 180-grit file.
- Dehydrate using Prep & Scrub, followed by Acetone to remove all oils.
- Apply Halo FlexiBase or Halo Gel Polish Plus Rubber Base by rubbing it into the nail with small back-and-forth movements, ensuring it is worked in thoroughly. Keep the product amount to a minimum.
- Cure for 120 seconds.
- Apply colour and top coat as normal.
