Manucurist SOIN Base S.O.S. 15ml

An intensive treatment base coat for fragile, peeling or very damaged nails, with a transparent texture and natural finish. Base S.O.S acts like a protective shield for weakened nails: it strengthens, hydrates and helps restore nails that have been stressed by gel polish, frequent manicures or external aggressors. The formula is enriched with AHAs, vitamin C, provitamin B5 and hexanal, and is powered by around 78% plant-based ingredients.

Who it’s best for

Best suited if:
– your nails are thin, brittle, peeling or break easily;
– you’ve worn gel or harsh polish regularly and feel your nails need a proper “treatment break”;
– you want a 2-in-1 treatment base that can be worn alone or under colour;
– you prefer a vegan formula with a high percentage of plant-derived ingredients.

Key benefits

– Strengthens and helps restructure the nail plate, making nails more resistant.
– Hydrates and visibly smooths the surface of the nail thanks to its AHA and vitamin complex.
– Treatment formula with AHAs, vitamin C, provitamin B5 and hexanal, designed for very damaged nails.
– Approximately 78% plant-based ingredients, vegan and 9/12-free.
– Can be used as a base coat under polish or as a standalone clear treatment with a natural, slightly glossy finish.

Why it works

– AHAs support a gentle renewal of the nail surface, so nails look smoother and more even.
– Vitamin C and provitamin B5 help hydrate and comfort the nail, reducing the feeling of dryness and fragility.
– Hexanal is known for its strengthening action on nails, supporting a more resilient nail plate.
– The thin film created by Base S.O.S acts as a protective layer, shielding nails from daily stress and providing a better base for colour application.

How to use

As a maintenance base:

1. Clean and lightly degrease the nails, then tidy the cuticles.

2. Apply a thin layer of Base S.O.S to each nail and let it dry completely.

3. Wear it alone for a natural look or follow with 1–2 coats of Green nail polish.

As an intensive treatment:

1. Apply Base S.O.S to clean, bare nails.

2. Reapply twice a week, removing the product with a gentle remover when needed.

3. Continue the treatment for around a week or longer, until nails look healthier and stronger.

Expected results*

– Nails that appear stronger and less brittle, with fewer visible splits and peeling.
– A smoother nail surface and a neat look, even without coloured polish.
– A protective base that prepares nails for future manicures and helps them better withstand pigment and external stress.

*Results may vary depending on the condition of the nails and how consistently the product is used.
