At Laloo Cosmetics, we’re committed to empowering nail technicians with the knowledge and tools to provide top-tier services to their clients. One of our recent initiatives to support this goal was the Base to Top Workshop, where we showcased and demonstrated a variety of our base coats and top coats. This hands-on event gave participants the opportunity to learn the specific functions of each product and understand when and where to use them for the best results.
The workshop was hosted in Bethlehem, Free State, and attracted both seasoned and aspiring nail technicians. As part of our mission to spread knowledge across the country, we’re excited to announce that we are working on hosting workshops like this all over South Africa, ensuring technicians nationwide have access to these valuable educational opportunities.
What Was Covered in the Base to Top Workshop?
Our workshop focused on the fundamentals of using base coats and top coats, key elements in achieving a flawless, long-lasting manicure. From evening out the natural nail to protecting vibrant colours for weeks, these products are essential for both professionals and clients who want their nails to look their best. Here’s a closer look at the standout products we featured during the event:
Moments from the workshop ❤️
Laloo Cosmetics Graphen Base
The Graphen Base is a powerhouse base coat, ideal for enhancing the longevity of soak-off gel polish manicures. What sets this product apart is its reinforcement with graphene, which offers added strength and durability. With its thicker consistency, it not only ensures perfect adhesion of gel polish to the natural nail but also helps smooth out any unevenness. This base coat was particularly popular in the workshop for its versatility.
Key Benefits:
- Can be used as a thin coat to prolong your manicure for more than three weeks.
- Acts as a reinforcing base to strengthen the natural nail.
- Provides the ability to elongate the nail by up to 3mm when needed.
- Serves as a solid base for the Laloo Acrygel system.
Laloo Cosmetics Strong Base
Designed for versatility, the Strong Base was another highlight of our workshop. Its medium fluidity, which is easy to work with even for beginners, offers a perfect balance between a rubber-like density and a fast-spreading consistency. This base coat adheres effectively to the nail plate, forming strong, long-lasting bonds. Technicians found it particularly useful for creating natural reinforcement, and its multi-functionality was demonstrated through gel polish application and light extensions up to 2mm.
Key Benefits:
- Suitable for beginners due to its easy-to-apply formula.
- Can be used for both gel polish application and nail extensions.
- Non-burning during polymerization, ensuring client comfort.
- Offers a long-lasting, durable finish for manicures.

Our best seller, Lampsi Non Wipe Top Coat drew significant attention during the workshop. Known for its brilliant diamond-like glow, this top coat not only protects the colour of the manicure but also extends its life, keeping it looking glossy and vibrant for weeks. With UV filters, it helps protect colours from fading or yellowing, making it a must-have for both manicures and pedicures.
Key Benefits:
