When it comes to creating flawless, long-lasting manicures, the foundation you choose makes all the difference. At Makear, we understand that each client’s nail type and lifestyle requires a tailored approach. That’s why our Builder Base and Rubber Base lines are designed to support a variety of techniques—from structured overlays to flexible natural looks.
So, which one is right for your salon clients in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia? Let’s break down the differences to help you decide.
What Is Makear Rubber Base?
Makear’s Rubber Base is a flexible, self-leveling base gel that’s ideal for:
- Weak, brittle, or soft nails
- Natural nail overlays
- Enhancing adhesion and flexibility
- Use with gel polish for day-to-day wear
Why Nail Artists Love It:
- Offers excellent elasticity
- Minimizes cracking or lifting
- Perfect for Russian and dry manicure techniques
- Comes in a wide range of shades: Nude, Color, and Cat Eye
- Quick application and soak-off removal
Tip: Use the Rubber Base for clients who want a natural-looking manicure with minimal bulk, especially those with softer or thinner nails.
What Is Makear Builder Base?
Our Builder Base is a thicker, more structured base that acts as a middle ground between a base and a builder gel. It’s perfect for:
- Strengthening weak nails
- Sculpting short extensions
- Creating a structured apex
- Longer-lasting manicures
Why Nail Artists Choose It:
- High durability and resistance
- Suitable for short to medium-length extensions
- Self-leveling formula that saves time
- Enhances nail shape and strength
Tip: Choose the Builder Base for clients with stronger nails who want extra reinforcement, or those who are prone to chipping and lifting.

How to Choose for Your Clients in Bahrain & KSA
With the hot climate and fast-paced lifestyle in the GCC, long-lasting wear and durability are key. Here's how you can decide:
- For active clients or those who work with their hands, the Builder Base will provide the strength they need.
- For fashion-forward clients looking for natural glam with flexible comfort, the Rubber Base in nude or cat-eye shades offers effortless style.
- For salons focused on Russian manicure techniques, both bases are excellent—use Rubber Base for flexibility and Builder Base for strength where needed.

Both Makear bases offer salon-quality performance, but their use cases vary depending on your client's nail type, lifestyle, and desired outcome.
