Smoothing Base is an instant surface perfector with a natural semi-matte finish. It fills ridges and evens the nail plate in one coat, worn alone for a clean, groomed look or as a base under polish for smoother colour. It dries fast and suits every nail type, even visibly ridged ones. Papaya enzymes gently refine the surface over time, while silica fills and smooths for an instantly even base. For strengthening as well as smoothing, layer it over the Nail Hardener.

What is the difference between a smoothing base and a regular base coat?

The result is a more even colour finish, especially on nails with visible texture or ridging.

Why do my nails have ridges, and can a smoothing base fix them?
Vertical nail ridges are common and usually linked to ageing, hydration or nail plate health. The Smoothing Base does not remove ridges permanently, but it fills and minimises their appearance immediately. With consistent use, the Papaya Extract helps refine the surface over time.
