product information
PRODUCT
A nail treatment and base coat that enhances the appearance of nails day after day. Immediately after application, nails feel harder, are smoother in texture and look healthier. After 1 month of use, they’re 28%* stronger, 13%* more visibly nourished and 24%* shinier.
COMPOSITION
Camellia oil helps nourish and prevent dryness, while cellulose fills in irregularities on the nail surface for an even result. Natural mineral pigments neutralize the appearance of discoloration.
HOW TO APPLY
Apply LA BASE CAMÉLIA with the built-in oversize brush applicator, which delivers an even coat in a single stroke. Use alone for a natural-looking manicure or before LE VERNIS to prep for colour.
The CHANEL manicure:
Step 1: Moisturize and push back cuticles with L’HUILE CAMÉLIA.
Step 2: Protect and smooth nails with LA BASE CAMÉLIA.
Step 3: Add colour with LE VERNIS.
Step 4: Boost the staying power and shine of your manicure with LE GEL COAT.

1. Nail Preparation: Ensure your nails are properly prepped before applying the polish. This includes cleaning your nails thoroughly to remove any oils and gently buffing the surface to help the polish adhere better.
2. Moisture and Oil: Any moisture or oil on the nails can prevent the polish from bonding correctly. Use a swipe of alcohol or acetone to dehydrate the nails before painting.
3. Base and Top Coat: Don’t skip the base and top coats. These are essential for a long-lasting manicure. The base coat helps the polish stick to your nail, and the top coat seals it in, protecting against peeling.
4. Thin Layers: Apply the polish in thin layers. Thick layers can lead to peeling because they may not cure properly.
5. Seal the Edges: Make sure to seal off the free edges of your nails with the top coat. This can prevent lifting and peeling.
6. Post-Manicure Care: Keep your nails hydrated with cuticle oil, but avoid getting it on the nail’s surface as this can cause lifting.
7. Chip Maintenance: If you notice a chip, file the edge and seal it with a top coat to prevent further peeling.

Works very well. I recently had my gel over acrylic nails removed and wanted à product to aid in growing out my natural nails while providing à smooth look. This has worked wonderfully. I have experienced none of the slow-drying issues noted by other
