Base & Top | Why We Upgraded Everything
The iconic duo just got smarter, cleaner and more sustainable.
When we first launched our BASE & TOP system, we made a promise: to deliver uncompromising quality that nail professionals could trust, manicure after manicure. Today, we're not just keeping that promise - we're elevating it.
After months of research, reformulation, and rigorous testing, we're proud to introduce the next generation of FANTASY NAILS BASE & TOP: 100% TPO-free, with innovative refillable packaging, and the same extraordinary performance you've built your reputation on.
This isn't just a product update. It's FANTASY NAILS leading the industry into a new era of conscious beauty without compromise.
The Regulation Revolution: Why TPO-FREE Matters
Starting September 1st, 2025, new EU cosmetic regulations will restrict TPO (Trimethylbenzoyl Diphenylphosphine Oxide) in nail products. While other brands scramble to adapt, we saw this as an opportunity to innovate ahead of the curve.
What is TPO? TPO (Trimethylbenzoyl Diphenylphosphine Oxide) is a photoinitiator commonly used in professional nail products to help gels cure quickly and evenly under UV or LED lamps. It has been part of the industry for years, helping nail techs achieve beautiful, durable results. When used professionally and correctly, TPO is safe. However, the new EU regulation focuses on the potential risks of direct, prolonged skin exposure to certain ingredients, especially in DIY or unregulated environments where incorrect curing or direct contact with the skin can result in allergies.
The EU's proactive approach to cosmetic safety means stricter standards, and we're here for it.
Why we moved first: At FANTASY NAILS, we've always believed that luxury and safety aren't mutually exclusive. By reformulating now, we ensure our community has access to cutting-edge, compliant formulations without any service interruption.
Same Excellence, Elevated Science
Here's what hasn't changed: everything you love about our BASE & TOP.
- Extreme adhesion that keeps manicures intact for weeks
- Ultra-smooth application that levels perfectly every time
- Crystal-clear brilliance with our signature high-gloss finish
- Zero yellowing technology for pristine color integrity
- Universal compatibility with all gel and acrylic systems
Here's what's better: a cleaner, future-forward formula that exceeds European safety standards.
Introducing: The Refill Revolution
Luxury shouldn't cost the earth. That's why our new BASE & TOP comes in two intelligent formats:
🌿 10ml Bottle - Perfect for precision work and travel kits
🌿 50ml Refill Format - Professional-size sustainability for busy salons
This isn't just packaging innovation - it's salon economics reimagined. The refill system reduces waste by 80% while cutting your product costs by 24% per milliliter.
Because building a nail empire should build a better world, too.
The Science of Superior Adhesion
Let's talk technical excellence. Our new TPO-free formula utilizes advanced polymer technology that creates molecular-level bonding with the natural nail plate.
The Results:
- Lift resistance: Up to 40% improvement in edge durability
- Flexibility: Enhanced bend resistance that moves with natural nails
- Clarity retention: Zero clouding, even after extended wear
- Curing efficiency: Optimal polymerization in LED 60s / UV 2min
STEP-BY-STEP: Mastering the New Formula
The application process remains intuitive, with our signature technique refined for the new formula:
PREPARATION PHASE
- Sanitize the nail plate with Fantasy Nail Prep or Fantasy Cleanser
- Cuticle care using Cuticle Express Remover or diamond bits for e-file users
- Shape and dehydrate the natural nail with file/buffer/sanding bands
- Dust removal with lint-free wipes and Nail Prep/Fantasy Cleanser
APPLICATION PROTOCOL
- Fantasy Bond application (free edge only) - wait 30-60 seconds for optimal adhesion
- BASE & TOP base layer (thin, even coverage) - cure LED 60s / UV 2min
- First color coat (thin application) - cure as directed
- Second color coat (full opacity) - cure as directed
- BASE & TOP finishing layer - cure LED 60s / UV 2min
- Tacky layer removal with Fantasy Cleanser or Diamond Shine
- Aftercare with Fantasy Nail Serum for optimal skin health
PRO TIPS FOR FLAWLESS RESULTS
- Temperature matters: Room temperature application prevents bubbling
- Thin layers win: Multiple thin coats outperform single thick applications
- Edge sealing: Gently cap the free edge for extended wear
- Curing precision: Full cure time prevents premature wear
