Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about this product
Higher viscosity and product volume:
SCULPT is designed for sculpting and creating short extensions, which is why it has a higher viscosity and is typically applied in thicker layers than FORTE.
Different blend of monomers and crosslinkers:
SCULPT contains monomers with a higher crosslinking density in greater proportions compared to FORTE. This generates more heat during curing, especially in thicker applications.
Dual photoinitiator system:
SCULPT uses two photoinitiators that absorb at slightly different wavelengths. This increases the speed and depth of curing but also triggers a faster radical reaction, resulting in a more intense heat buildup.

Warmer nail bed and product:
In summer, the nails, skin, and gel remain at a higher temperature, so the exothermic heat from curing adds to an already elevated thermal base.
Lower viscosity with heat:
Heat makes gels flow more easily, meaning they can self-level and form slightly thicker areas before curing, resulting in more intense localized heat.
Seasonal sensitivity:
In warm weather, the blood vessels in the nail bed are more dilated, and the nerve endings can become more sensitive to temperature changes.

- FORTE has a medium viscosity, which means it's applied in thinner layers and generates less heat during curing.
- FORTE has a slightly different monomer ration, with a lower crosslinking density, which produces less exothermic heat during polymerization.
- FORTE uses a single photoinitiator, allowing for a slower and more controlled cured, which reduces the intensity of the heat peak.

- FORTE uses a single photoinitiator, allowing for a slower and more controlled cured, which reduces the intensity of the heat peak.
- Apply in thinner, controlled layers - build the structure in 2 steps instead of one thick layer to reduce curing intensity.
- Keep the gel and client's hands cool before the service - use air conditioning or cool compresses to lower the temperature of the hands and product, but avoid condensation, as it can affect adhesion.
- Lower the lamp intensity - activate SOFT MODE on the Fantasy FIT lamp during the first seconds of curing to reduce the initial exothermic reaction.

The UV protector included in FORTE not only blocks part of the UV spectrum to help prevent yellowing, but also emits a slight fluorescence when exposed to UV/LED light during curing. This creates the visible white-blue glow.
Its presence helps filter our the UV wavelengths that contribute to long-term yellowing, especially in thin and translucent applications.

The SCULPT line does not contain the same UV protector as FORTE. SCULPT relies on pigment stability, resin selection and its photoinitiator system to protect the color.
The BASELAB™ SCULPT line is formulated with a different focus than FORTE:
- It's designed to provide strength, structure and sculpting control.
- High viscosity is prioritized to maintain shape, with a curing system optimized for thicker layers.
- Since most SCULPT shades are highly pigmented or opaque, an additional UV absorber isn't required for long-term heat or color stability.
By not including the UV protector found in FORTE, SCULPT maintains:
- Higher viscosity for better shape retention.
- Optimized curing performance even in thicker layers.
- True-to-tone color without the cool blue tint that optical brighteners can create.
In contrast, FORTE includes a UV protector because it's intended for thinner layers and natural reinforcements, which are more exposed to light over time. This helps preserve clarity and color, especially in transparent or semi-transparent applications.
