Akzentz Forte Base

Hard gel performance, bottle speed. Akzéntz Forte Base is a HEMA-free hard gel base coat that brushes on from a bottle and creates a flexible layer between the natural nail and Forte Builder. That flexible foundation bonds to the nail and absorbs everyday stress, so your structured gel sets last longer with less lifting. It's made for working nail techs and serious hobbyists who want the durability of hard gel without slowing down their services.

• Exceptional adhesion: creates a strong bond between the natural nail and your builder
• Flexes with the nail: absorbs everyday stress to help prevent lifting and breaks
• Hard gel in a bottle: medium viscosity brushes on fast with only a thin layer needed
• Fast cure: 30 seconds in an LED light
• Clean formula: 100% Pure Gel™, HEMA-free, TPO-free and 10-free
• Cruelty-free and vegan: a product of Canada
• Size: 15ml / .5oz

Why Use a Flexible Hard Gel Base?

Most lifting starts where the product meets the natural nail. Natural nails bend and flex all day, and a rigid builder applied directly on top can't move with them. Forte Base sits between the two as a flexible intermediary layer: it grips the natural nail while giving a little under stress, so Forte Builder stays rigid and strong on top without breaking its bond. That's how the Forte system delivers long-lasting wear for almost all clients.

Part of the Forte® System by Akzéntz

Forte was developed for nail artists who want the application speed of a bottle with the long-lasting performance of a hard gel system. Forte Base is the foundation, Forte Builder Clear goes on top for thin, self-leveling overlays and short extensions with exceptional rigidity and strength, and Diamond Shine-On Top Gloss seals it with a durable, no-wipe, high-gloss finish. Each layer cures in 30 seconds in an LED light.

Inspired by the balance of strength and lightness in the advanced ceramics used in fine watchmaking and aerospace engineering, Forte forms a smooth, thin, hard coating that reinforces the natural nail without unnecessary thickness.

Forte Base is designed to work with Forte Builder, and Forte is fully compatible with all Akzéntz gel systems, including Prescription Base Coats, Shine-On™ and Diamond Shine-On™.

Who Is Forte Base For?

• Structured gel techs who want a stronger, more flexible foundation under their builder
• Techs with clients prone to lifting who need better adhesion and flexibility
• Techs who prefer HEMA-free products for their clients and themselves
• Serious hobbyists stepping up to a professional hard gel system

How to Use: The Forte Application Protocol

1. Prep. Gently push back the cuticles, shape the nails and rough the nail plate with a medium grit diamond bit. Cleanse nails thoroughly. If you're extending, apply Pro-Tab Nail Forms.
2. Forte Base. Apply a thin, even layer; only a minimal amount is needed. Avoid contact with the surrounding skin. If you like, freeze cure each nail for 5 seconds to stay in control. Cure for 30 seconds in an LED light (an Akzéntz LED light is recommended). Do not remove the inhibition layer.
3. Forte Builder. Apply a controlled, even layer and refine the structure with the brush before curing. Cure for 30 seconds in an LED light.
4. Wipe or refine. Remove the inhibition layer (remove forms now if you used them). If no filing is needed, that wipe reveals a high-gloss shine and no top coat is required. If you need to adjust, file to shape, refine the surface and wipe away all dust before the gel color and top coats.
