When to choose gel over base
There are several cases where the rubber base will be insufficient on your client's nails, in which case you should opt for a gel instead.
▫️ When your client's nails are long. The rubber base after catalysis is more flexible than the gel , so if your client has long nails the rubber base will not allow a lasting pose to be maintained over time.
▫️When the client has square nails. The square being a shape more susceptible to deformation and breakage, requires additional reinforcement.
▫️When the nails retract on themselves and grow downwards. In this case, you have to file the nail from underneath and the material on top must be a hard material such as gel .
Do you know of any other cases where you should use gel instead of rubber base?
