Meet your new salon essential: KOKOIST x Nail Thoughts Base Gels, the ultimate builder gel system designed for efficiency and flawless results.

Formulated as a semi-hard builder gel, it offers the perfect balance of flexibility and durability. Stronger than traditional base gels yet still fully soak-off, this system supports natural nail growth while maintaining easy removal for professional use.

Positioned between the softness of Mega Stick Base and the strength of Platinum Bond Duo, this Nail Thoughts builder gel delivers long-lasting wear, improved retention, and reduced lifting—making it a must have for nail professionals.

Key Benefits:
  • All-in-one builder gel and base coat
  • Time-saving system for faster services
  • Semi-hard formula for strength + flexibility
  • Soak-off or efile for easy removal
  • Ideal for natural, neutral nail looks
  • Perfect for overlays or structured manicures

Size: 10ml bottle

How to Use:

1. PREP: Thoroughly prepare the nail by exfoliating any dead skin and loose cuticle off the nail plate. Scratch the nail surface to remove shine. Wipe any moisture from the nail using alcohol to prepare it for your gel application.

2. BASE: Apply the Nail Thoughts Clear Builder Base Gel to the natural nail and cure using an UV and/or LED lamp. OPTIONAL: Apply two layers of the base coat, adding an apex while curing in between for extra durability.

3. COLOR (OPTIONAL): Apply gel color of choice and cure using an UV and/or LED lamp.

4. TOP: Apply KOKOIST Top Coat Gel and cure using an UV and/or LED lamp.

 

Note:
  • If the gel is applied very thick, it can cause an uneven nail surface or air bubbles to form leading to improper curing.
  • Store out of direct light and at room temperature after each use.
  • We recommend using a strong curing unit or else gel will not cure all the way through causing lifting or peeling. Follow the recommended curing times for each step.
  • Be careful not to get gel onto the skin. Gel applied over the cuticle or around the eponychium area can cause lifting. Uncured gel left on the skin can cause allergic reactions to occur. Discontinue use immediately if itching, redness or swelling occurs on your skin, and contact a physician.

How To Use

After nail prep, apply to natural nail and cure. Apply a second layer with an apex for added durability if desired. Cure time LED: 30-60s / UV: 60-120s
