Thanks to the combination of copolymers and nitrocellulose, the base coat forms a flexible adhesion-promoting layer on the surface of the nail plate, improving the bond between coloured nail polish and the natural nail. This helps reduce the risk of chipping and contributes to maintaining a neat, well-groomed manicure.

The base coat also visually evens out the texture of the nail plate, creating a smoother surface for subsequent colour application. The protective layer helps prevent unwanted staining of natural nails by pigments contained in decorative nail polish.

The conditioning complex includes collagen, ginseng root extract (Panax Ginseng Root Extract), vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate), vitamin C (Ascorbyl Palmitate), as well as esters of linoleic, linolenic and oleic fatty acids. These ingredients complement the formula developed for nail plate care and maintenance of a well-groomed appearance.

How to use:

The product can be used in two ways: as a base coat within the MollyNails Vinyl Effect System or as a standalone treatment for regular care of natural nails.

Method 1. Application within the MollyNails Vinyl Effect System:

1. Apply one coat of Base & Care 2 in 1 (Step 1) to the cleaned nail plate and allow it to dry.
2. Apply one coat of conventional coloured nail polish Color Lacquer (Step 2) and wait until it is completely dry.
3. Apply a second coat of coloured nail polish to achieve full and even coverage. Allow it to dry.
4. Apply the finishing top coat High Gloss Top Coat (Step 3) and leave it to dry completely in the air.

Method 2. Regular nourishing and strengthening treatment over 3–4 days:

1. Day 1: apply 1–2 thin coats of the product directly to the natural nail plate.
2. Day 2: apply another coat over the existing coating without removing the previously applied layers.
3. Day 3: apply the final coat of the product.
4. Day 4: completely remove the coating using nail polish remover. Repeat the treatment if necessary.

MollyNails Base & Care 2 in 1 combines the functionality of a professional base coat with the convenience of standalone nail care. As part of the Vinyl Effect System, the product helps prepare the nail plate for coloured nail polish, improve coating adhesion and reduce the likelihood of chipping. When used independently, it provides an additional option for regular natural nail care without the application of decorative colour.
