"A sheer peachy base coat. Think of this tinted base coat as a subtle color mix between the fan favorites Peach Base and Strawberry Milk Base. It’s less opaque than those two but has the perfect mix of hue between them. It’s a subtle peachy pink hue tinted base gel where if you build it up on the nail, it still has a slight sheer aspect to it. Think of Baby Cakes Base as exactly Sugar Glaze Base but with NO shimmer for the clients that don’t like glitter on their nails." -Katie
