Lastik Plus Clear 15ml — Builder in a Bottle

Before you choose — know your hardness scale

PLUS cures harder than Clear Lastik but not as hard as Planet Iconic or PUG. Choose PLUS when you want the ease of a self-levelling, soak-off builder with more hardness and scratch resistance than standard Lastik.

PLUS is still technically a soft gel — it is very strong but retains some flexibility. It is not recommended for long sculpted extensions. Short to medium sculptures are well within its range.

Do I need a base coat with PLUS?

PLUS can be used without a base coat on healthy, strong nails. However, when applying a harder-curing product over thin, brittle, flexible, flakey, or lift-prone nails, a rubber base coat is strongly recommended.

A layer of Clear Lastik, Lastik HF, or Stick ’n Float at Step 3 provides a flexible bridging layer between the natural nail and the harder-curing PLUS, which helps prevent lifting, peeling, and chipping at the cuticle area.

Lastik PLUS is the thicker, harder-curing member of the Lastik family — and the product that replaced Sculpt in the Planet Nails range. If you loved Lastik but found yourself wanting more hardness, more scratch resistance, or a thicker consistency for infills and short sculptures, PLUS was built for you.

PLUS can do everything standard Lastik can do — overlays, structured manicures, tip overlays, extensions, nail art embedding, Planet Vogue services — and adds short to medium sculptures to the list. Its self-levelling formula means effortless apex creation with minimal filing, and its blue-toned formulation contains actives to help prevent yellowing over time.

It cures harder than standard Lastik but remains a soft gel at its core — which means soak-off removal, 3–4 weeks wear, compatibility with all PN systems, and the same infill-friendly approach. De-bulk and start fresh rather than removing fully every time.

PLUS is not a hard gel replacement. For maximum hardness and long sculpted extensions, PUG or Iconic is the correct choice. PLUS sits between Lastik and hard gel — harder than soft, easier than hard, soak-off all the way.

A note on removal frequency and soak time

Planet Nails strongly advises against constant full removal and re-application. Every removal removes additional layers of natural nail. Where possible, de-bulk down to a very thin layer and apply fresh product on top — the nail plate stays intact and the shine removal step is not required again.

PLUS cures harder than standard Lastik because its molecules end up more tightly locked together after curing — this is the formula difference that makes PLUS the better choice for durability and for clients exposed to more chemicals in their daily lives (swimming instructors, hairdressers, nurses, and similar). The trade-off is that this tighter molecular structure means PLUS will take longer to soak off than standard Lastik. De-bulking thoroughly before soaking will significantly reduce the time required.
