Jessica Recovery Basecoat is a prescriptive base coat designed for brittle nails that feel prone to breaking. It is made to help nails feel more flexible and look healthier, while creating a smooth base for colour. If your nails tend to chip, peel, or snap as they grow, this basecoat adds a supportive first layer that fits neatly into your regular manicure routine.

The formula includes keratin, soy and wheat protein to help support nails that feel fragile, while calcium and H2O are included to help maintain flexibility. It also features a moisture restoring complex designed to help nails retain the moisture they need, which is particularly useful if your nails feel dry and rigid. Used consistently, it helps nails feel more supple over time, making it a practical option whether you wear polish every week or prefer a natural look with a clear finish.

Suitable for: Brittle nails that feel dry, rigid, or prone to breaking. Ideal if you want a supportive base coat under colour, or a treatment-style base coat to wear on its own.

Benefits:

  • Supports flexibility: Helps nails feel less brittle and more supple.
  • Moisture restoring complex: Designed to help nails retain needed moisture for a healthier-looking finish.
  • Helps reduce breaking: Supports nails that feel prone to snapping as they grow.
  • Smoother base for colour: Helps polish apply more evenly and look neater.
  • Routine friendly: Works well under colour or as a clear base coat worn alone.

Key ingredients:

  • Keratin: Included to support nails that feel weak or brittle.
  • Soy and wheat protein: Helps support the look and feel of stronger, more resilient nails.
  • Calcium: Included to support nails that need extra care.
  • H2O: Helps support flexibility for a less rigid feel.

How to use:

  • Follow with a Jessica Custom Colour, or apply a second coat of basecoat if you are not wearing colour.

Expert tips:

  • If you are not wearing colour, reapply every 2 to 3 days to keep nails supported.

Pairs well with:
