Gelish Gel Polish - Foundation Flex Soak-Off Rubber Nail Base Coat - Cover Beige 15ml

Se me hizo complicado de aplicar porque está muy espeso, no se si sea así la consistencia o si está mal el producto que recibí.

This is a really good polish and gives a really good base if you don’t want to use a builder, this will give you builder coverage and is easy to work with. The colour is milky pink, so you can layer with pink.

I've been doing at-home gel nails regularly for 5 years. I decided to try Foundation Flex (FF) to see if my at-home gel nails lasted longer and were better protected. I'm so hard on my nails that even professionally done gel nails don't last long. This product does make my nails last longer and protect the natural nail from chipping, BUT I need 3 coats to attain both strength and longer wear. After the third layer, the product is opaque and strong--strong like a hybrid between gel and acrylic. I can pinch my nails from side to side, and they hardly move. My at-home gel nails usually look beautiful for 10 days, and then it's downhill from there. With 3 layers of FF I get 14 beautiful days. Regarding the learning curve, my nails looked horrible the first time. But I was stubborn and very busy, so I kept them on for two weeks, rolling my eyes every time I looked at them for very long. This product is somewhat rubbery and a little more difficult to work with than normal gel. The trick is to do two very thin coats and then one thicker coat. Make sure there are no bubbles in any of the layers, or that little bubble will become a bump that will come through ALL the layers. I recommend pointing your nails down and looking down the length of your nail to make sure the product is evenly spread from side to side. Regarding chipping, I still tend to chip at the ends before the nail lifts at the nail bed--even with capping. I tried capping my nail with the first two layers of FF this time to see if that will extend the wear time. I also added ProBond to my routine as the step after PH bond (which is basically an alcohol prep). I'll update if I start to get more than 14 beautiful days out of my nails.

One of the best nail polish I’ve used. It doesn’t weaken my natural nail and it last a long time without chipping.

It was very easy to apply. It acted just like the normal foundation coat, but with the beautiful tint to it (I chose Nude), I didn't have to add color. I applied a coat, used the gel light, then applied the second coat. Then, I just applied clear top coat -gel light-(two coats for extra strength) and after a week my nails still look really nice. They havent broken at the "corners", chipped, or broken off. I do try to wear gloves or dishes and yard work, but I'm still kind of hard on my nails. I've been happily using all Gelish items for the ten years I've been doing my nails, and this is a step up for me for a foundation coat. I'm glad I got the larger bottle because this will be my go-to nail polish during the summer when I want a polished look but without the stronger color.
