Features of Semi-Permanent Bases
Semi-permanent bases are essential for creating durable and well-groomed coverings for natural nails. They ensure a smooth and even surface, enhancing color adhesion and protecting nails from damage.
Advantages of Semi-Permanent Bases
- Perfect Adhesion: They ensure greater resistance and adhesion, reducing the risk of lifting and chipping.
- Nail Protection: The strengthening bases act as a protective shield, preventing damage and cracks.
- Extended Duration: They guarantee a result that can last up to three/four weeks without losing shine or strength.
Types of Semi-Permanent Bases
- Classic Semi-Permanent Base: A transparent base that suits all types of manicures, offering good adhesion and basic protection.
- Reinforced Semi-Permanent Base: Contains strengthening ingredients for fragile or weak nails, preventing breaks and chips.
How to Choose the Right Base
- Nail Type: Carefully assess the nails on which you will perform the treatment, analyzing the length, fragility, flexibility, and the presence of any peeling or cracks. If you have fragile nails, opt for a strengthening base (Strong or Hard).
- Removal: If you prefer a simple and quick removal that does not involve the use of a drill, consider a soak-off base (Base Step One or rubber).
How to Apply Semi-Permanent Base
- Preparation: Make sure to perform a good manicure and prepare the nail plate by buffing and degreasing it properly. Apply, if you use them, the preparers.
- Application of Base Step One: Apply a thin and even layer of Base Step One over the entire surface, being careful not to go onto the cuticle area. Cure under a UV LED lamp for 1 minute.
- Application of the base: Proceed with the application of the chosen base and work it according to the treatment to be performed.
Differences between Primer and Base
- (Primer) Nail prep: Used before the Step One base, it serves to dehydrate and degrease the nail
- Base Step One: Applied over the primer, it creates a uniform surface, protecting the nail and improving the adhesion of the subsequent product.
