Now this may not exactly apply to my UV gel manicures (I’d have to look into it further, but it appears to be more for a gel polish specifically), but I LOVE the idea…
Minx Coat is a clear, peel off base coat that protects your nails from any of the damaging effects you might get from gel polish, regular polish, or acrylic (so maybe it would work for uv..? Hmmm….)
The product is intended to be applied by removing the backing sheet, and applying the “coat” to your natural nail. You then file off to the appropriate length and apply your gel polish, or standard polish over it. When you are ready to move on, you just peel it off (minus the acetone needed for typical gel polish removal!)
It may also be used over the natural nail to prevent wear and tear, nail biting and splits (plus, it will add some natural shine!)
