Purple coloured base coats
130 productsHow to choose a purple coloured base coat
Decide on the result and working method you need. Compare the intended uses of the base coats before assessing the purple shades using swatches.
Check the recommendations for the undercoat, layer thickness and curing. A method suitable for one product may not suit another.
For a repeat purchase, check the brand, shade name or number and volume. Use a photograph of the bottle only together with a swatch or image of the coating.
Frequently asked questions
Can a purple base coat be worn without gel polish?
This depends on the product's intended use. Check whether the manufacturer allows it to be used as a standalone colour on the base coat page.
Is a clear base coat needed under a coloured one?
There is no single rule for the entire category. Use a clear undercoat if the instructions for the selected product specify one.
How can I assess the colour coverage of a base coat?
View swatches, application photos and the product description. Also check the recommended number and thickness of layers there.
