A flawless manicure starts and finishes with the right base and top coat. At Amelia Nour, our collection of natural base and top coats provides the essential foundation and protection your nails need, all formulated without the toxic chemicals found in conventional nail products.
Our base coats serve multiple purposes beyond simply preparing the nail surface for colour. They create a smooth, even canvas that helps polish adhere better and last longer, while also protecting your natural nails from staining. Many of our formulations include strengthening ingredients like biotin, calcium and plant keratin that nourish and fortify nails with every application, turning your manicure routine into a treatment.
Top coats are equally essential, sealing in your colour and providing a durable, chip-resistant finish that extends the life of your manicure. Choose from high-shine glossy finishes that deliver a salon-quality look or sophisticated matte formulas for a modern, understated aesthetic. Our quick-dry options ensure you can get on with your day without worrying about smudges.
We stock base and top coats from leading clean nail brands like Kure Bazaar, known for their up to 90 percent naturally sourced formulations. These products are free from harmful ingredients including formaldehyde, toluene, DBP and camphor, making them a healthier choice for regular use without compromising on performance.
Whether you are a nail art enthusiast or prefer a simple, polished look, investing in quality base and top coats makes a noticeable difference to the longevity and appearance of your manicure. Browse our curated selection and give your nails the clean, caring foundation they deserve.
A base coat creates a smooth surface for nail polish to adhere to, helping colour last longer and apply more evenly. It also protects your natural nails from staining caused by pigmented polishes and can provide strengthening benefits that improve nail health over time.
What is the difference between base coat and top coat?
Base coat is applied first to protect nails and help polish adhere. Top coat is applied last to seal in colour, add shine and prevent chipping. Both serve different purposes and using them together significantly extends the life and appearance of your manicure.
Are non-toxic nail base coats effective?
Yes, non-toxic base coats perform just as well as conventional formulas. Clean nail brands have developed advanced plant-based formulations that provide excellent adhesion, strengthening and protection without harmful chemicals like formaldehyde, toluene or DBP.
How long should I wait between applying base coat and polish?
Allow your base coat to dry for about one to two minutes before applying colour. It should feel dry to the touch but slightly tacky, which actually helps the polish bond better. Applying colour over completely wet base coat can cause bubbling and uneven coverage.
Can base coat be used as a nail strengthener?
Many base coats double as nail strengtheners, containing ingredients like biotin, calcium and keratin that fortify nails. If you want to take a break from colour, a strengthening base coat can be worn alone as a nourishing treatment to improve nail health and resilience.
