Who Needs LDS Rubber Base Gel?

The ideal use case for rubber base gel is to apply it to strengthen splitting, thin, brittle, or flaky nails. It fortifies fragile and damaged nails and gives them flexibility that would normally be out of reach.
If someone has oily nails and struggles with extensions that lift or polish that peels, rubber base gel provides the extra adhesion to prevent problems.
But be aware that rubber base gel isn’t as necessary for rigid, dry nails. It won’t make them more flexible. However, it still smooths the surface and protects the natural nail against damage.
What’s more, rubber base gel won’t build extensions like hard gel or poly gel. But it will guard the natural length you’ve already achieved and make it easier to wear extensions.
No matter what type of nails you have, rubber base gel is the foundation that can lead to an absolutely gorgeous finish.
What Can You Do with Rubber Base Gel?
Unlike a regular gel base that you would soak off to change a manicure, you don’t need to remove everything every couple of weeks. Instead, file down most of the rubber base without filing the natural nail, take care of the cuticles, cleanse, then reapply the rubber base gel. This is excellent news for those who want to grow out their natural nails!
Moreover, it helps if you have flexible natural nails and extensions tend to pop off. Rubber base gel helps the tips stay put without stiffening the nails. It simply stays flexible and defends against chipping and breaking. Again, this is wonderful when you’re trying to grow out your nails.
Since rubber base gel is thicker than regular gel polish, it self-levels and fills in the texture. In a moment, we’ll discuss how to apply rubber base gel. Then you’ll see how to use it to add volume and build an apex.
How to Apply LDS Rubber Base Gel

Here’s how to get professional results with LDS rubber base gel:
- After you prep the nails as you would for any gel manicure, mix the rubber base gel in the bottle and brush on a thin coat. There’s no need for any other base coat.
- Apply it as you would builder gel in a bottle (BIAB), with a back-and-forth motion instead of vertical strokes.
- Cure it for 30 seconds.
- Brush on a slightly thicker layer and flip the nail upside down. Let gravity build the apex of the nail for 10 seconds.
- Place the nail in the lamp and cure for 60 seconds.
- Finish with a top coat and cure for 60 seconds. You don’t even need colored polish!
- But you can also apply colored polish and enhancements as desired.
The main differences between it and regular gel polish are the brushstrokes and how you use rubber base gel to add volume to the nails.
When it comes time to completely remove rubber base gel, it’s not as challenging as hard gel to take off. File it and soak it just as you would any gel manicure.
Nail Art Ideas Using Rubber Base Gel
Anything you can do with gel polish, you can do with rubber base gel. It only needs a top coat to be a complete manicure. What’s more, the LDS Bouncy Blush collection has rubber base gels in beautiful nudes and neutrals that suit any occasion or ensemble.
