Note on color representation: We photograph each color under multiple lighting conditions to depict them as accurately as possible in the shop. However, as color reproduction depends on screen settings, calibration, and ambient light, the actual shade may differ slightly from the image when applied. If you have any questions regarding the color, we are happy to assist you personally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I also use this base for extensions?
Yes, thanks to its high viscosity, it is well-suited for the stable extension of short or broken nails.

How is the base removed?
With a manual file (150/180 grit) or an electric nail drill.

Is the Soak Off Builder Base HEMA-free?
You can find the exact INCI list on the packaging; we always check and communicate the HEMA status on a product-specific basis rather than for the entire line in general.

Can I apply color gel directly over the builder base?
Yes, the builder base is designed as a base coat for gel polishes and color gels – continue working directly after curing.

How often can I refill the builder base?
A refill is recommended every 3-4 weeks as soon as nail growth becomes visible – the base itself does not need to be completely removed for this.

Why might the color differ slightly from the photo?
We photograph every color under multiple lighting conditions for the most accurate representation possible, yet color reproduction may still vary slightly depending on your screen and ambient light.
