Description

❌ Weak nail tips, peeling layers, nails as flexible as paper, gel lasting only a few days and cracking at the edges?

Our Hard Base Coat was developed exactly for these kinds of nails.

The formula contains ultra-fine fiberglass particles that create a microscopic reinforcing mesh, strengthening the natural nail from within - without creating a thick overlay.

Perfect as a base under Builder Gel, Gel Polish or as a standalone strengthening layer for heavily damaged natural nails.

What problems does Hard Base solve?
• Brittle, peeling nails
• Extremely soft and flexible natural nails
• Gel lifting or lasting only a few days
• Natural nails too thin for direct overlays
• Cracks and splitting at the free edge

Advantages of the new formula
• Stronger adhesion
• Smoother finish
• Reinforced nail structure
• Even distribution of fiber particles
• Easier application control
• Professional long-lasting wear without lifting

What makes Hard Base technically unique?
Three technologies working together in one professional formula:
• Micro fiberglass particles
Evenly distributed throughout the formula, they create an invisible reinforcing mesh after curing for maximum nail stability.
• Thixotropic consistency
The product stays exactly where applied, does not flood the cuticles and allows precise shaping.
• Medium viscosity
Self-leveling enough for smooth application, yet stable enough to build a proper apex.

Plus everything you expect from a professional base:
✔️ Transparent - no discoloration, no yellowing
✔️ HEMA & TPO free - gentle even with repeated use
✔️ File / E-file compatible - easy removal during refill
✔️ Medium dispersion layer - excellent adhesion with all top coats
✔️ Made in EU and compliant with EU Cosmetic Regulation 1223/2009

For nail technicians
If you work with clients who have problematic nails - and every nail tech does - Hard Base is a true game changer.
Longer wear: Strengthens weak nails so overlays last 4+ weeks.
Fewer complaints: No lifting, no cracks caused by weak nail foundations.
More design possibilities: Even thin natural nails can suddenly support stilettos or long almond shapes.
Versatile use: Can be used alone as a strengthening layer or under any system (BBIO, Polygel, Hard Gel).
Pro tip
For extremely flexible nails, apply two thin layers instead of one - the fiberglass meshes overlap and maximize durability.

How to use?

1. Prepare the nail plate as usual: perform a manicure and shape the nail.
2. Remove excess oils and moisture from the nail plate with Didier Lab De-hydrator.
3. If necessary, further prepare the nail plate by choosing and applying an additional
bonding agent: Acid-free Bond, Extra Bond Nail Repair, Acid Primer, or transparent
base.
4. Apply Studios Didier Hard Base and cure under LED lamp for 60s / UV
lamp for 2min (at a wavelength of 395-405nm). IMPORTANT! Due to the fiberglass particles in the formula, the dispersion layer must NOT be wiped off after curing in the lamp. The sticky layer is intended to ensure better product adhesion. It is also not recommended to cure in the lamp longer than specified in the instructions.
5. Apply chosen nail color and cure under LED lamp for 60s / UV lamp for 2min (at a
wavelength of 395-405nm)
6. Apply a top coat of your choice of gel polish. Cure under LED lamp for 60s / UV lamp
for 2min.

Removal:
Removal with an e-file
Removal with a file (using 100 grit is most suitable)
