5/14/2024: In the past, we have added a slight lavender hue to all sizes of our glamour base. The purpose of the hue is to offset any yellow tint in the product and make the overall appearance more neutral.
We are no longer pre-dosing the material with the lavender hue for Gallon containers. Instead, we will be including a small bottle of purple with your order along with instructions (it's simple, just pour the contents of the 1/2floz bottle you receive into your gallon container and shake). Smaller sizes will still be tinted.
The base itself is not changed, we are just no longer adding the tint.
TKB's Glamour Base is specially formulated to suspend glitter in a clear finish, as well as to be colored by TKB's Nail Polish Color Concentrates.
This unique formula will give you that salon professional look at home saving you money and allowing you to duplicate your favorite colors as often as you like!
This product only ships via FedEx Ground and only to the lower 48 states and Canada.

Nail Polish Glamour Base for Glitter (Suspension Base). This base is ideal for nail polish which contains glitter and will prevent glitter from sinking to the bottom of a nail polish bottle. For this reason, it is thicker than our standard luster base.
TKB's Glamour Base has a small amount of Violet #2 dye added to it. As a result, the product has a slight purple/violet tint to it.
The addition of Violet #2 into nail polish is very common in commercial manufacturing as it offers several advantages:
- Nail polish tends to have a yellow underhue, or to yellow with age and exposure to UV light. Purple is "opposite yellow on the color wheel" and therefore offsets yellow, making the resulting polish more neutral in color as it ages.
- A slightly colored nail polish is easier to see when pouring into the bottle.
- Sweetness factor: For us, working with this lightly colored polish is the difference between working with a boring bottle of glue and something that is just prettier, brighter and somehow more magical. Maybe the big guys don't factor this last point in, but it's our experience.
