Glitterbels Hema Free Basecoat 17ml

• Glitterbels HEMA-Free Base Coat, 17ml
• Professional HEMA-free gel base coat
• Matched to the Glitterbels HEMA-Free Gel Polish range
• UV/LED cure required

Glitterbels HEMA-Free Base Coat is a 17ml bottle of professional gel base coat with HEMA-free formulation, developed to work alongside the Glitterbels HEMA-Free Gel Polish range. Same product-category function as the standard Glitterbels Gel Base Coat covered earlier in the sprint — sits between the prepped natural nail and the coloured gel polish, improving adhesion and reducing lifting — but with the HEMA-free credential that matters for allergen-sensitive clients and for the wider Glitterbels HEMA-free product chain (HEMA-Free Acid-Free Primer + HEMA-Free Acrylic Liquid + HEMA-Free Base Coat + HEMA-Free Gel Polish shades). HEMA (hydroxyethyl methacrylate) is the specific chemical in many gel formulations that most commonly triggers acrylate allergy reactions in sensitised individuals; choosing a HEMA-free base coat as part of a fully HEMA-free chain meaningfully reduces (though does not eliminate) the primary allergen exposure route. Cures under UV or LED lamps.

Key features

• Professional HEMA-free gel base coat, 17ml
• Formulated to work with Glitterbels HEMA-Free Gel Polishes
• Part of the wider Glitterbels HEMA-free product chain
• Cures under UV or LED lamps (30-60 second cure per Glitterbels routine)
• Improves gel polish adhesion to the natural nail
• Reduces lifting and peeling through wear

How to use

Complete your standard prep work: cuticle push-back and cleanup, light etching or buffing of the nail plate, then apply Glitterbels HEMA-Free Acid-Free Primer per the prep routine. Apply a thin layer of the HEMA-Free Base Coat over the prepped natural nail — thin is important, over-application causes flooding at the cuticle and side walls and can trigger lift over wear. Cure under UV or LED lamp for 30-60 seconds (per Glitterbels recommendation). Then apply your chosen Glitterbels HEMA-Free Gel Polish colour on top and cure per the specific polish's routine. Finish with a top coat and cure. For the fully HEMA-free chain, pair with the Glitterbels HEMA-Free Acid-Free Primer at the prep stage and Glitterbels HEMA-Free Gel Polish shades for the colour layers.

Who it's for

This base coat is for professional nail techs and confident home users doing regular gel manicure work who want to build a fully HEMA-free prep-and-application chain. We've spent years helping clients in Codsall look and feel their best, and as a working salon, we know clients with known acrylate sensitivity or general skin-reactivity concerns increasingly ask specifically for HEMA-free products across the whole gel chain rather than just the coloured polish — because the primer, base coat and top coat all contain gel chemistry, any one of them being non-HEMA-free reduces the effectiveness of picking HEMA-free colours alone. This base coat completes the HEMA-free chain honestly.

For professional and adult use. HEMA-free formulation reduces but does not eliminate all allergen risk — individuals with severe acrylate or nail-product allergies should consult a GP or dermatologist before use. Uncured gel can cause allergic sensitisation with prolonged repeated skin exposure regardless of HEMA-free formulation. Cures under UV or LED lamp — see the DreamCure Lamp safety guidance regarding UV/LED skin exposure and photosensitivity considerations. Avoid contact with skin around the nail during application to reduce risk of allergic sensitisation. Keep out of reach of children.
