FAQ – VALLA Basics
What are VALLA Basics?
VALLA Basics are functional gel products used in professional Korean nail services, such as base gels, builder or overlay products, top gels, and supporting technical layers.
Why are basic gels important in a salon workflow?
Basic gels form the structure of the service. The base layer, builder or overlay layer, color layer, and top finish all affect durability, appearance, removal, and client comfort.
How should I choose a VALLA base gel?
Choose a base gel according to the nail condition, service type, adhesion needs, removal method, and compatibility with the color and top gel used in the same system.
When should I use a builder or overlay gel?
Builder or overlay gels are used when the service needs additional structure, surface correction, reinforcement, or controlled apex building. The exact choice depends on nail length, client nail condition, and desired service result.
How should I choose a VALLA top gel?
Choose a top gel according to the required finish, such as glossy, non-wipe, wipe-type, thicker sealing, flexible finish, or nail art protection. Check the product page for application and curing instructions.
Can VALLA Basics be combined with other gel colors?
Compatibility depends on the exact products used. Test the base, color, builder, and top gel combination with your UV/LED lamp before adding it to repeated salon services.
Do VALLA Basics need a UV/LED lamp?
Yes. VALLA gel products must be cured with a suitable UV/LED nail lamp according to the product instructions. Curing performance can depend on lamp compatibility, layer thickness, pigmentation, and product type.
