The most suitable grits for gel extension piles are 100/100 (for gel nail work) and 180/240 (for gel and natural nails).

The shape of the nail piles should be chosen according to preference and provide convenient handling in every situation.

- Base Coat. Nail Base Coat is an essential product in preparing and achieving a perfect manicure. It is applied before semi-permanent nail polish or UV gel and has many important functions. The main function of nail base coat is to protect natural nails against pigmentation, yellowing and thinning. It provides a protective barrier between the nail and the colour applied afterwards, thus preventing pigments from penetrating into the surface layer of the nail. In addition to protection, the nail base helps to improve the adhesion of semi-permanent nail polish or UV gel, thus ensuring greater durability of the manicure and preventing nail chipping. There are a variety of nail bases on the market that may have additional properties. Some bases have ingredients in their composition that help to harden and moisturise the nail plate, giving the nail a healthier look and reducing the risk of breakage or peeling. Other bases may contain vitamin additives to improve the condition and appearance of nails. Choosing the right base for your individual needs can bring many benefits and contribute to a flawless manicure.
- UV gel for nail building. For starters, it is recommended to choose a clear gel. If you are not yet confident in your own abilities, it is not necessary to buy a large gram. If you develop your skills over time, you can opt for a coloured or glitter gel to create more complex designs on your nail.
- Top Coat. This is a product used in manicures to give a finishing touch and to complete a nail design. Top coat is a clear top coat that is applied over semi-transparent nail polish or UV gel on the nail. A top coat has several functions, including creating shine, protecting the nail plate against chipping and scratching and increasing the durability of the manicure. It helps to achieve smoother and more durable nails, keeping them beautiful and stylish.
- Cuticle oil. Cuticle oil is a product specially created to treat brittle and damaged nails. It works to prevent the skin from drying out, keeping it soft and smooth at all times. The oil softens the cuticles, combats dryness, restores the nail from the inside out and improves its appearance. It effectively regenerates dry cuticles and velvets the skin around the nail.
