Frequently asked questions
Does French Base replace rubber base, or do I apply both?
French Base replaces rubber base — it provides the sheer color layer and base coat function in one step. Apply directly over prepped, primed nails. No rubber base underneath is needed.
What is the difference between the two kit sets?
Naked/Neutral/Pink covers classic French tones for the widest client range. Beige/Silver/Pink adds a shimmer pearl option — ideal for clients who want a modern or editorial French look.
Can I use these shades for babyboomer or ombre French?
Yes. Apply the sheer shade from the base of the nail and blend toward the free edge while uncured using a dry fan brush, then cure once the gradient is set.
How many full French manicure services per kit?
Each 11 ml bottle covers approximately 25–35 full sets at two coats. Three bottles = roughly 75–100 French manicure services per shade.
Do the shades work on darker skin tones?
Yes. Neutral and Naked are developed to complement a range of skin tones. For deeper skin tones, these provide a skin-matching finish rather than a contrasting pale tone.
Can this kit be used on nail extensions?
Yes. French Base works on natural nails, hard gel extensions, acrygel overlays, and builder gel sets. On extensions, the semi-sheer formula gives the nail bed a clean, polished appearance.
