The By En Comfort Fit Base is formulated to create a lightweight, flexible foundation with a natural feel. With its softer consistency and smooth self-leveling, it provides a comfortable base layer ideal for clients with sensitive skin.
Gentle & Safe Formula
Free of HEMA, TPO, TMPTA, IBOA, and DI-HEMA, all common irritants and sensitizers found in gel.
Soft, Flexible Consistency
Softer than our 3-in-1 Gel for thinner, more natural application, with smooth self-leveling and minimal sanding needed.
Ultra Clear
No discoloration, preserving a natural look and an even surface for color application.
How to use:
Apply an appropriate amount and cure under a UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds.
For sensitive clients, use 5-second cure intervals with pauses, or pre-cure with a single-nail light before full curing.
Step 1: By En Comfort Fit Base
A flexible base layer that promotes adhesion and protects natural nails
The By En 3-in-1 Base is designed to work as a refillable base, builder, and extension gel in one versatile formula. With a self-leveling texture and a balanced consistency between soft and hard gel, it creates a durable foundation ideal for growing out natural nails.
Multi-Use Function
Performs as a base, builder, and extension gel. Perfect for tip extensions, gem overlays, and quick nail fixes. It can also be refilled instead of needing to be fully removed every time.
Balanced and Buildable
A light, slightly liquid texture that sits between soft and hard gel, offering more flexibility than hard gel while curing stronger than soft gel.
Inventory-Friendly
Reduces clutter in your gel collection by replacing the need for separate base, builder, and extension gels.
How to use:
Apply an appropriate amount and cure under a UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds.
For sensitive clients, use 5-second cure intervals with pauses, or pre-cure with a single-nail light before full curing.
Step 2: By En 3-in-1 Base
A versatile builder gel for structure, strength, and shaping
The By En Top Gel is formulated to seal off your work with a smooth and shiny finish. With a good amount of self-leveling, it can make the perfect top layer while still being shapeable to subtly add dimension to the nail.
Long Lasting
Long-lasting shine for over 3 weeks.
No Yellowing
Maintains lasting clarity and shine without discoloration over time.
Chrome-Friendly Finish
Formulated to enhance chrome powder applications, leaving a smooth, reflective surface.
How to use:
Apply an appropriate amount to the nail and cure under a UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds. Cure only 30 seconds before applying chrome powder.
For sensitive clients, use 5-second cure intervals with pauses, or pre-cure with a single-nail light before full curing.
Step 3: By En Ultra Shine Top Gel
A high-gloss top coat for a long-lasting, glass-like finish
Equally important, our HEMA-free gel system and TPO-free gel system provide a more mindful option for both techs and clients, especially those with sensitivities. It’s a way to build your practice while prioritizing comfort and long-term nail health.
