A plumping base coat that grips onto polish for the ultimate chip-resistant, long-wear manicure/pedicure. This is a uniquely flexible formula that provides the tackiness needed for next-level adhesion—which means any lakur (or nail decal) sticks on to stay on. Think of it as the ultimate nail primer: made to last, incredibly chip-resistant, and as always, powered by nail-loving botanicals to infuse supercharged care with every application.

I've been buying Londontown for years, and use the brand exclusively. I farm, garden, tend to chickens, make bread, have a toddler, so my hands are always busy. I paint my nails once a week and the Gel Genius base has always been my go to. The Grip Lock made the nail color slip off in 3 days. I'll be tossing it out and going back to Gel Genius.
Thank you for being part of the LONDONTOWN for so long, especially with hands as busy as yours! We'd love to learn more about your routine and help make sure your base coat is set up for the wear you're used to. Our Customer Service team will be reaching out directly, and we're always here to help you.
I was in desperate need of a base coat that I felt helped lock on the polish and so far I feel like this may be the winner. I never realized how important a base coat is- this one is thick and I feel like my mani lasted a solid 8 maybe 9 days with this vs chipping off after 2 or 3.
I thoroughly researched nail products, looking for something healthy and beautiful after getting a one-time gel manicure for my daughter's wedding last Fall that caused some damage. Londontown kept coming up, so I first purchased the Kur Grip Lock Base Coat, the Gel Genius Top Coat and the Illuminating Nail Concealer. I was religious about using the products, but kept noticing my nails were peeling and breaking. Unlike most users, the base would literally pop up within 24-48 hours and the three coats (base, concealer and top coat) would just peel off and looked like they were taking a layer of nail with them. I finally stopped using for a couple of months and cut them constantly until they finally grew out. Once I got back to healthy nails, I started using the Londontown products again and the same issue occurred. Sadly, I had purchased additional polishes around Christmas and I now have a very expensive stash of unusable product. I did see this in a few other reviews after digging deep, so just beware that it is sadly not for everyone.
Thank you for sharing such a detailed experience. A few things can affect how our formulas perform including residual nail damage from prior gel services and understanding your full routine will help us guide you to the best result. Our Customer Service team will be reaching out directly so we can work through this together and make sure your LONDONTOWN collection gets the chance to perform the way it was designed to.
