Hybrid bases are one of those product categories that raise the most questions:

  • how does Fiber differ from Speed?
  • when should you choose Grafen Base Color?
  • which base is best for a thin nail plate and which for fast salon work?

At Excellent PRO you will find several different hybrid base systems that differ in: consistency, elasticity, self-leveling, way of working and intended use.

This guide will help you understand the differences between the individual product groups and match the base perfectly to your style of work and nail type.

Speed Base - an elastic base for fast salon work

Speed Base is a thinner, very elastic hybrid base with excellent self-leveling.

It was created primarily for:

  • fast salon work
  • short natural nails
  • gentle building
  • “natural look” hybrid styling

Thanks to its thinner consistency:

  • it spreads quickly,
  • it easily forms a layer of light,
  • it lets you work very dynamically.

It is an ideal base for anyone who likes light, fast products and work without unnecessary reworking.

New - Speed Base 2.0

New bases have also joined the Speed Base family: Speed Base 2.0.

These are bases that:

  • cover up to around 80%
  • contain shimmer particles, flakes and effects
  • let you create finished styling with the base alone

It is a combination of:

  • fast work,
  • a gentle cover effect,
  • and an eye-catching finish without having to apply color.

Fiber Base - a stronger base with polyamide fibers

Fiber Base is a hybrid base with polyamide fibers that increase its strength and stability.

Compared with classic Speed:

  • it gives you more working time
  • it is more stable
  • it works better on a problematic nail plate
  • it allows stronger building

It is a great choice:

  • for thin and weakened nails,
  • when building the natural nail plate,
  • and for anyone who needs more control over the product while working.

Fiber still levels very well, but it is calmer to work with than typical thin bases.

Grafen Base Color - base and color in one product

Grafen Base Color is a multifunctional product that can act as:

  • a hybrid base
  • color
  • gentle building

As a result:

  • it shortens working time,
  • it reduces the number of products,
  • and it lets you create finished styling with just one product.

Grafen Base Color stands out for:

  • very good adhesion
  • elasticity
  • easy application
  • and the ability to work without an additional transparent base

It is an excellent solution for:

  1. fast salon work,
  2. express manicure styling,
  3. natural nails,
  4. and clients who like delicate, elegant effects.

Recommended products - work great when using hybrid bases

Nail Makeover #1 bit

Nail Makeover #1 bit - a bit for removing product with very fine cuts. It creates a fine, soft dust and gives more control when removing hybrid styling.

Because the hybrid base works thinly on the natural nail plate:

  • it increases working safety
  • it gives more time
  • it minimizes the risk of filing through the natural nail

Decoration 9 mm brush

Decoration 9 mm brush - a thin and flexible brush that works great when using hybrid bases.

It lets you:

  • spread the product precisely
  • work the area around the cuticles
  • create the perfect layer of light

Especially helpful with more fluid consistencies.

Straight file SLIMWOOD 180/240

Straight file SLIMWOOD 180/240 - a very thin, straight file with a finer grit.

Ideal for:

  • the natural nail plate
  • refining the shape
  • working on strongly pronounced side walls

Thanks to its thin construction, it reaches places where classic files are often too thick. It also works great for pedicure.

Summary

There is no single “best” hybrid base.

The best one will be the one that matches:

  • your working pace
  • your application technique
  • the nail type
  • and the effect you want to achieve

That is why at Excellent PRO you will find both:

  • the light and fast Speed Base,
  • the stronger Fiber Base,
  • and the multifunctional Grafen Base Color.

Each of them was created for a slightly different style of work, so you can match the product perfectly to yourself.
