CHROMÉCLAIR gel system

Choose the right base, builder and top coat

Start by choosing the job: a compact base for a standard color routine, Rubber Base for a flexible overlay, or Liquid Builder when more structure is needed. Finish with a compatible top coat and follow each product label for curing.

  • Base: the first compatible gel layer.
  • Builder: adds more structure than a standard base.
  • Top coat: seals the completed color or builder layer.
