FAQ about gel base coat:

1. Is gel base coat supposed to be tacky?

Yes, even when it is fully cured, it will feel tacky. This is because gel base coat acts as double sided tape. It adheres to your nails and your gel polish.

2. Is gel base coat the same as gel top coat?

No, they are meant for different purposes and have different formulas. Gel base coat is used to protect the natural nail as well as ensuring a long lasting manicure and it cures tacky. 

A gel top coat specially is used at the end of your gel manicure to protect the polish, gives it shine and it cures none tacky.
