When it comes to applying gel polish or nail extensions, one important step is spreading the base. The base is the foundation of any nail design and it’s crucial to prepare the nail surface properly to ensure the final result looks perfect.

Spreading the base means covering the natural nail with a thin layer of base coat. The purpose of the base coat is to protect the nail from staining, improve adhesion, and provide a smooth surface for the gel polish or nail extension to adhere to. A good base coat can also prevent chips and peeling and keep your nails healthy.

Before spreading the base, it’s essential to properly prep the nail. This involves removing any old polish or debris, trimming and shaping the nail to your desired length and shape, and gently buffing the surface of the nail to remove any ridges or bumps. Once the nail is prepped, it’s time to apply the base coat.

Using a small brush or applicator, apply a thin layer of base coat to each nail, making sure to cover the entire surface. Be sure to keep the base coat away from the cuticles and skin, as this can cause lifting and lead to premature chipping. You may need to apply more than one layer of base coat, depending on the strength and thickness of your natural nails.

After applying the base coat, it’s time to cure it under a UV or LED lamp. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for curing times and make sure to use a high-quality lamp for best results. Once cured, the base coat will create a strong anchor and provide a smooth surface for the gel polish or nail extension to adhere to.

In conclusion, spreading the base is an essential step in any gel polish or nail extension application. Properly prepping the nail and applying a high-quality base coat will ensure a long-lasting, chip-free manicure or nail extension. So don't forget to take your time and spread the base properly for beautiful, healthy nails.
