Gelish MINI Essentials Gel Nail Manicures Bundle — Basix Kit 9mL Travel Mini Kit with Foundation & Top Coat

Gelish MINI Essentials Gel Nail Manicures Bundle – Basix Kit is a travel-ready set of mini professional nail prep and finishing products designed to complete a Gelish salon-style soak-off gel manicure (lamp and color polishes sold separately).

This compact Basix Kit gathers the core steps used in Gelish salon services: nail surface prepping, adhesion promotion, hydration, sealing and gentle removal. The mini 9mL sizes make it convenient to pack, try key products without committing to full sizes, or keep a complete kit next to your Gelish lamp. Note that Gelish soak-off color and curing light are not included.

What exactly is included and why does each item matter?

The kit contains travel-size versions of the essential Gelish salon steps so you can replicate a professional routine at home. Each product focuses on a single role—cleaning, balancing, bonding, nourishing, sealing, or safe removal—so the system works together for consistent results.

• Gelish Foundation (mini) — creates a smooth base and improves polish adhesion.
• Gelish pH Bond — balances the nail surface for better bonding of gel polish.
• Gelish Top It Off — seals and adds long-lasting shine to finished sets.
• Gelish Nourish — replenishes oils and hydrates cuticles between services.
• Artificial Nail Remover — formulated for controlled soak-off removal.
• Cleanser — removes surface residue and sticky inhibition layer after curing.

How do these minis fit into a typical Gelish application process?

Use the kit in sequence for a streamlined salon-style manicure: prep, balance, base, color, top and finish. The minis are sized to be used over several manicures, ideal for testing the system or for travel touch-ups when you already own Gelish color and a lamp.

• Start by cleansing nails and removing oils with the Cleanser.
• Apply pH Bond to equalize the nail surface before Foundation.
• Use Foundation as a base coat, cure with your Gelish LED or compatible lamp.
• Finish with Top It Off for shine and cure; use Cleanser to remove any tacky layer.

Will this kit work with other lamp brands or only Gelish lamps?

Gelish soak-off gels are formulated for LED and UV curing; minis in this kit are complementary products meant to be used with a compatible curing lamp. While many LED/UV lamps work across brands, always check your lamp's specifications and the polish manufacturer's recommendations for cure times.

• Gelish LED lamp cures typical base/top products quickly (check lamp manual for seconds).
• Traditional UV lamps require longer cure times—refer to product instructions.
• Colors and lamp are sold separately; confirm compatibility before starting.

How do I maintain nail health between gel services using the kit?

Gelish Nourish in the kit restores oils and hydrates the surrounding skin, helping to reduce dryness between services. Regular gentle cleansing and using the Nourish step after removal supports cuticle condition without shortening the life of your set.

• Apply Nourish daily or after manicures to the cuticle area to replenish oils.
• Use Cleanser after curing to remove residual inhibition layer for a smooth finish.
• Follow Artificial Nail Remover directions for safe soak-off when removing gel polish.

Who is this for: The Gelish MINI Essentials Basix Kit is tailored to gel polish users who already own a Gelish or compatible curing lamp and want a compact, travel-friendly set of professional preparatory and finishing products. It’s ideal for beginners testing the Gelish system, home users who prefer salon steps, nail technicians needing a portable kit, or anyone looking to maintain polished results without buying full-sized bottles. Remember: color polishes and curing lamp are not included; this bundle supplies the system steps that support a long-lasting Gelish soak-off manicure.
