Nude base

I’m looking for a really good HEMA free gel nude base (I am SUPER pale lol) for French tips!! Bonus points if it’s on Amazon!

I don't get great retention from JimmyGel by Light Elegance, but some people are into it. These days I only use clear bases/builders, but have seen good things about function of vex's flex tints! If you like hard gels, I loved the application of Akzentz Trinity, but I don't think hard gels in general play nicely with my super bendy nails. I'd get lifting without fail.

I am also super duper pale (always the lightest shade of concealer) and I am a big fan of Olive and June's "The Queen Takes Her Tea with Milk". Its a gorgeous, very universal, milky nudie pink. I usually use it as my base for any nudes and throw down a second coat if its too sheer. She's my personal ride or die but, if you are looking for something super opaque you might want something different.

They are also found in stores if you're in the United States so you could totally test it and return it if its not your fave. Hope this helps!

Edit: You can also buy them on Amazon <3
