Colored Base Coat
A base coat is the first step in a three-step system and an important part of a manicure that shouldn’t be skipped. But the Kodi Professional colored base coat isn’t just a base—it’s a highly functional nail product that combines the properties of a classic base coat with added color pigment. This way, one product can replace two, saving you time and money.
Kodi Professional Colored Base Coat: What Is It Used For?
The Kodi Professional Colored Base Coat is a highly versatile product with numerous functions:
- strengthening and protection. The base coat protects your nails from the negative effects of external factors and the colored pigment itself, while strengthening the nail plates;
- extending the lifespan of your manicure. The base coat improves adhesion and maintains the aesthetic appearance of the manicure for a longer period;
- time savings. When performing a manicure using a colored base coat, the technician spends much less time than when applying all three products (base coat, gel polish, and top coat);
- smoothing and concealing imperfections. The colored base coat gently evens out imperfections in the nail plates and, thanks to its colored pigment, improves their appearance.
Thus, the Kodi Professional colored base coat is suitable for both beginners and experienced technicians, as well as for performing manicures both in a beauty salon and at home.

FAQ
How should I apply the Kodi Professional colored base coat to achieve the best results?
For all pigmented base coats, be sure to use a clear Rubber or Quick Base as a primer, applied in a thin layer and cured for 30 seconds in an LED lamp or 2 minutes in a UV lamp. This will protect the nail from the colored pigment and serve as a good base for the colored base coat. Apply the pigmented base coat in two thin layers, curing each layer for 90 to 120 seconds under an LED lamp or 2–3 minutes under a UV lamp, depending on the pigmentation. At the technician’s discretion, a single thin layer may be applied with minimal smoothing of the nail plate if necessary. Curing should also last at least 90 seconds in an LED lamp and 2 minutes or more in a UV lamp.
Why might the colored base peel off?
There are several common causes that can lead to potential material detachment:
- inadequate filing of the nail plate by the technician, resulting in areas with an untreated, smooth surface;
- inadequate dust removal after filing (use special tools and a brush);
- applying a layer of material that is too thick (the colored base should be applied in two thin layers).
What is the shelf life of a colored base after opening?
Typically, the average shelf life of most Kodi Professional colored bases is about 12 months after opening the bottle.
How do the different color base bottles differ?
The popular international brand Kodi Professional offers color bases in several bottle formats:
- a red bottle with a gold logo and a black cap, 7 ml (opaque, brush included);
- an 8-ml matte black bottle with a gray logo (opaque, brush included);
- a 12-ml opaque black jar with a lid (no brush included);
- various 15-ml bottle sizes for colored bases.
Can Reflective bases be used as a standalone product?
Yes, Reflective bases are generously infused with pigmented, shimmering particles that reflect light. This type of base can be used as a standalone nail product by sealing it with a top coat.
