Yes, the gel can be used as a Flat Base layer to most nail types

Applied as flat base layer, 80Base is cured in 30seconds. A good medium strength builder gel that needs a 60 second cure for upper arch or extension applications.

The Keratin like formulation of 80Base holds 3 key advantages to the professional nail technician, namely excellent adhesion, additional flexibility, effortless removal and healthy nails. The exceptional adhesion of 80Base is the result of the keratin-like molecular structure, and its effortless soak-off is made possible by the breaking of these links when introduced to BIO SCULPTURE Gel Remover. The easy release of the gel from the natural keratin, leaves undamaged healthy nails after removal. 80Base also features two conditioners that protect and condition the natural nail throughout the entire duration of the overlay.

The number ‘80’ refers to the part in the formulation that gives 80Base & Build its unique Keratin-Link functionality.

80Base is a novel gel product specifically engineered to exceed industry standard safety levels when applied as directed. While many acrylates are potential allergens to sensitised individuals, 80Base is manufactured with minimal components to be as pure as possible, while still providing durability, strength, flexibility and adhesion.  80Base allows thorough cure, leaving no uncured product on the nail plate.  The precise formulation of 80Base leaves no harmful free-floating monomers after polymerization.

1. Mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane -an organosilane

Function:     Nail Conditioning

Method:      Aids in reducing nail flaking and brittleness by increasing the moisture content in the upper layers of the nail bed. In doing so, the nail gets an increased sheen giving an overall healthier look and feel to the nail.

2. Polypropylene Glycol

Function:     Nail Conditioning

Method:      Film forming in beauty products, producing a continuous film on nails (or skin and hair), improving the nails’ aesthetic characteristics.

1. Potential concerns with HEMA were explored in an important study conducted by the European Commission on Consumer Safety (SCCS) in 2017 and 2018, which concluded that — when applied appropriately to the nail plate at concentrations of up to 35% — HEMA is not likely to pose a risk of sensitisation, if use is restricted to the nail plate only. The concentration of HEMA in 80Base is approximately half of the recommended maximum and the cured product contains zero free-floating HEMA.

   It is important to understand that HEMA only poses a risk when it is not properly polymerized during curing. When a formulation is not accurately engineered for precision monomer binding, the product can appear cured to the naked eye after curing, but there may still be free floating HEMA in the product. Similarly if all the raw materials are not of the highest quality, the curing process might not polymerize and bind up all the HEMA particles, thus leaving them active on the nail plate.  The precise formulation and medical grade ingredients of 80Base leave no harmful free-floating monomers after polymerization.

   While other alternatives to HEMA could provide similar functionality, many of these are toxic or have not been fully tested.
