Olive & June Gel Base Coat HEMA-Free Vegan — LED-Cured, Up to 21 Days Wear

Built for at-home salon-quality results, this clean gel base coat primes nails for superior adhesion, shine, and gentle removal. The formula avoids HEMA and other common harsh ingredients, yet still bonds to gel color and top coat to create a chip-resistant finish. Use it with Olive & June’s LED lamp and matching gel polish and top coat for the intended wear time and safe soak-off removal.

How does the base coat improve the life of my gel manicure?

The base coat creates a stable foundation that helps gel color adhere evenly and resist lifting. It’s engineered to cure smoothly under LED light, producing a plump, glossy layer that reduces chipping and edge wear.

• Promotes strong adhesion between natural nail and color
• Cures to a smooth, voluminous surface under LED
• Helps prevent premature chipping and peeling
• Works with two coats of gel polish and a top coat for best results

What makes this formula cleaner or safer than other gel base coats?

This base coat is formulated without HEMA and excludes other commonly scrutinized chemicals like formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP. It’s vegan and cruelty-free, designed for people seeking a gentler high-performance gel system.

• HEMA-free and avoids 15+ potentially harmful ingredients
• Vegan and not tested on animals
• Designed to be less irritating while delivering durable wear
• Compatible with Olive & June gel polish lineup

How do I apply and remove Olive & June Gel Base Coat properly?

Application and removal follow a straightforward LED gel routine. Apply a thin base coat, cure, add two thin color coats with curing, then finish with the gel top coat; remove with the brand’s gentle soak-off method to avoid damage.

• Apply base coat thinly and cure under Olive & June LED lamp
• Apply one thin coat of gel polish, cure 2 minutes, repeat
• Finish with top coat, cure 1 minute for glossy finish
• Remove using Olive & June’s soak-off system for safe, damage-free removal

Will this base coat work for both manicures and pedicures?

Yes—this base coat is formulated to perform on both fingernails and toenails. It provides the same adhesion and glossy finish for pedicures, helping color stay chip-free through daily wear and activity.

• Formulated for both mani and pedi durability
• Creates a uniform surface for even color application
• Helps maintain high-shine finish on toes and fingers
• Pairs with same curing steps for consistent results

Who is this for? If you want a long-wear, high-gloss gel manicure at home without the common harsh ingredients, Olive & June Gel Base Coat is built for you. It’s aimed at people who prefer salon-level results in their own routine—those who use an LED lamp, enjoy changing polish regularly without nail damage, and value cleaner, cruelty-free beauty formulas.
