Trend Are Changing the Way Nails Are Done

In the last years, the professional manicure industry has evolved toward a balance between aesthetics, health and durability. Clients no longer seek only color, they want strong, natural and comfortable nails that can last for weeks without losing shine or structure,

Hence the rise of strengthening bases and new-generation gels that allow professionals to build resistance without relying solely on acrylics or bulky structures. Current techniques focus on protecting and optimizing the natural nail, not covering it.  

The goal is to achieve light, flexible nails with a flawless surface, adaptable to every client's lifestyle - from those who use their hans constantly to those who prefer a natural, understated look.

 

The Most Common Problems in Nail Services

Every professional knows that a perfect manicure depends on more than just color or top coat. Many of the most frequent issues appear at the foundation of the service:

• Premature lifting: caused by a lack of adhesion or excessive flexibility.
• Cracks and breaks: due to overly rigid or unbalanced bases.
• Shrinkage or retraction: from unstable polymerization or low-quality materials.
• Heat sensation under the lamp: resulting from harsh monomers or excessively rapid curing.

Solving these problems requires understanding the nail's structure and how products interact with it. This is where chemical innovation has made the difference: the new base systems use balanced resins and smart adhesion technologies that adapt to natural movement without compromising durability.

The New Generation of Bases: Strength, Flexibility and Comfort

Modern strengthening bases have replaced the old belief that "more thickness = more strength". Today, the key lies in structural balance: materials that are rigid enough to protect, yet flexible enough to follow the nail's natural movement without breaking. 

These new formulas make it possible to:

• Create natural reinforcements with a fine, elegant finish.
• Build short extensions or level uneven surfaces without overloading the nail.
• Reduce filing time thanks to their self-leveling texture.
• Offer comfort during curing by avoiding sudden temperature fluctuations.

In this context, BASELAB™ by FANTASY NAILS represents the natural evolution of professional nail technology.

BASELAB™ FORTE & SCULPT: Science and Control in Your Hands

Inspired by real salon needs, BASELAB™ FORTE and BASELAB™ SCULPT were developed to offer concrete solutions to the most common challenges in nail services.

• BASELAB™ FORTE is the ideal choice for reinforcing natural nails. A medium-viscosity, self-leveling and flexible base perfect for gel lacquer manicures or natural overlays. Its HEMA and TPO-free formula provides lasting adhesion, comfortable curing, and advanced UV protection, helping to maintain clarity and shine for weeks.
• BASELAB™ SCULPT, on the other hand, is designed for structural techniques and short extensions. Its high viscosity allows total control in apex shaping, providing strength and precision without losing elasticity. It is also free from sensitizers, and its dual-curing system prevents heat peaks during the polymerization process.

Both lines are designed for intuitive and efficient application, easily integrating into salon workflows without requiring drastic changes in technique.

Why Choosing an Intelligent Base Changes Everything

A good base not only improves the visual result - it also reduces retouching time, increases client satisfaction and protects nail health.

When the product works in harmony with the nail's natural structure, the technical process becomes easier; less filling, less shrinkage, greater stability.

BASELAB™ FORTE and SCULPT are not marketed as miracle products but as scientifically engineered tools at the service of professional creativity.

The result: longer-lasting nails, happier clients and a more profitable, sustainable service.

The Base of the Future is Already Here

In a constantly evolving industry, true luxury lies in invisible details.
A good base is the difference between a pretty manicure and a professional result.
