The gummy base and the American capsules

American capsules are simple products to use by people who are taking their first steps with this manicure technique. One of the imperatives for a successful and sustainable implementation? Have a gummy base. This ingenious cosmetic allows you to apply false nails yourself, quickly and easily.

The gummy base, what is it?

Gummy base: these two words often seem very obscure for women who discover american pose of nails (also referred to as "X gel pose"). Literally, this expression means "sweet base". The base gummy has the same characteristics as the base rubber (" rubber base") or the soak off gel (" tremping gel"). It is also known under these two names. Some brands sometimes use other appellations on their bottles, such as "soft gel adhesive type" ("soft adhesive gel").

With a rather thick texture, this product is very flexible and resistant, such as gum or rubber. In concrete terms, we can say that this is a thick semi-permanent, which can be used in two ways: placed on natural nails before the varnish or used for fixing american capsules. Generally transparent, it is also available in several nude colours.

The only condition to use a base is to have a small UV/LED lamps. Indeed, this product does not dry like an ordinary varnish: it must be catalysed to harden. Very easy to use, it allows to make fairy hands in less than 30 minutes!

The advantages of the rubber base

They are numerous, regardless of the use that is made of this product.

On natural nails

A successful varnish requires a solid and uniform nail. Flexible texture gel soak off perfectly follows the ongular surface, for a final effect of an incomparable thickness. This product is a valuable ally for the health and beauty of nails, as it allows for:

• strengthen them if they are fragile, soft and brittle,
• protect them from elements that can alter their strength and beauty (cold, shocks, aggressive household products...),
• correct small defects (stries, irregularities) by equalizing and leaving their surface,
• reconstruct a broken nail or create a small extension on a too short nail,
• create a light and pretty bombed on the top, in order to « repulpate » the flat nails,
• hang perfectly the varnish or finish that you put right after,
• offer a result worthy of a manicure made in a beauty institute.

Depending on the preparation of the nails, the rubber base is between 2 and 4 weeks. Thanks to her, the varnish and the retouches every 2 or 3 days are only a bad memory!

With American capsules

The soak off gel is the essential product to achieve pose gel X. The benefits of this product are considerable for the followers of the false nails:

• thanks to him, the american capsules adhere perfectly to the nails,
• if the nails have been properly prepared, its holding can go up to 4 weeks,
• just soak the nails in acetone for 10 minutes to remove it.

Choose the soak off gel

Buying a base that meets the criteria of the largest number depends on two main criteria: product variations and, above all, the manufacturer.

What basic color to choose?

When using a base only for American nail poses, a colourless shade is obviously sufficient, since it will be invisible. However, it may happen some day to want to use a rubber base on natural nails. In this case, opting for a colored base allows to juggle regularly between false and true nails, not to get tired!

The foundation shades are always discreet and natural: this product is generally declined in beige, pale pink, old rose or ivory. For nails with brighter colours, it is essential to go through the varnish stage.
