Yes. For optimal performance, all gels should be applied over a base coat.
When working within the Pro-Formance™ system, Adhere is recommended as the dedicated hard gel base, specifically formulated to support maximum bond and long-term wear.
Trinity™ features a 3-in-1 formula, allowing it to function as a base, builder, and gloss. When using Trinity, apply a thin initial layer—much like a traditional base coat—before proceeding with your builder layer. This technique enhances adhesion and helps reduce curing heat.
For clients prone to lifting, Adhere remains the preferred choice, offering a stronger, more resilient bond.
