Base coat. Color. Topcoat. Not just products. A system.

At Doom Loop, our base coats and topcoats aren’t generic formulas slapped under a logo. They’re custom-engineered to work together—chemically, mechanically, and visually—as a complete lacquer system.

Every base coat is designed with a specific job: adhesion, flexibility, reinforcement, wear behavior. Every topcoat is tuned to lock that work in, not fight it. Viscosity, solvent balance, resin choice, suspension - intentional. Tested. Built for our formulas.

Some brands treat base and top as afterthoughts. Stock formulas. Off-the-shelf. Good enough - until they aren’t.

At Doom Loop, the color is only one part of the experience. Longevity, performance, and how your nails feel after removal matter just as much. 

FORGE / FORGE PRIMER BASE COATS + RAPTOR QDTC

FORGE and FORGE PRIMER BASE COATS are engineered as a mechanical foundation, not a mere cosmetic base. They reinforce the nail plate, improve adhesion, and create a controlled surface that helps resist peeling and flex failure. RAPTOR QDTC is formulated to seal that structure without over-hardening - preserving flexibility while delivering fast-drying and durable protection.

FUSE STICKY BASE COAT + CLARITY GEL-LIKE TOPCOAT

FUSE PVB-FREE STICKY BASE COAT is a flexible, plasticizing base coat engineered to reinforce the natural nail without rigidity. It forms a tough but elastic film that moves with the nail plate, reducing micro-fractures, edge lifting, and peel-back.

CLARITY GEL-LIKE TOPCOAT is formulated to pair with that elastic foundation, sealing the system without over-hardening or shrink stress. The result is a unified, flexible result that maintains gloss and wear while allowing controlled flex instead of brittleness.

MAXIMUM WEAR METHOD

For maximum wear and structural integrity:

One coat FUSE + one coat FORGE or FORGE PRIMER + color + RAPTOR QDTC.

FUSE lays down a flexible reinforcing film that moves with the natural nail. FORGE or FORGE PRIMER builds mechanical strength and controlled rigidity on top of that elastic foundation. Color is applied as usual, 2–3 thin coats, and RAPTOR QDTC seals the system with fast-drying and durable protection.

This method helps distribute mechanical stress across layers, reducing peeling, edge failure, and premature breakdown.
