The Gel Bottle inc kit?

[The beauty lady]

hi so I'm currently going cruelty free. I use ibd but I'm looking to change. I've been looking at the gel bottle for extensions. I see they have Kit which you get 2 colours 2 files a cover hard gel in a bottle a top coat and 2 in 1 base coat. Everyone seems to use the rubber base coat for extensions can I use the other base under hard gel? Or do I use nothing?

2 in 1 base coat is used underneath Tgb colour coats. rubber base is used for clients with weaker nails followed by the builder in a bottle.
Builder in a bottle already has primers in it (hence the smell) so can use on natural nails without base coat if doing a natural nail overlay, with enhancements use rubber base.
Training academy currently being set up for proper accredited training. Meanwhile Their Facebook community page is great for hints, tips and application guidance.

Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll be buying a separate rubber base. Also the gel pot says easy soak off whereas the biab says not reccomended for soak off???

In all honesty I hardly use my rubber base coat as I do hardly any enhancements with biab due to my clients own nails growing so long and strong with biab on its own so something for you to think about and probably why it's not in the kit.
You can easily soak both off! That's why I bought into the gel bottle builder gels due to them both being soak off.
You may have to file the topcoat a bit first so acetone can penetrate but will come off in 10 mins, remove foil wrap one nail at a time and not all 10 as will harden when exposed to the air.
