    Description

    A very rigid base (rigider than the strong base) that allows for a longer-lasting treatment. Its properties resemble those of a gel, so it can be used for quick gel refills or to strengthen weak and thin nails. It speeds up salon refills, thanks to its thicker-than-usual consistency, which prevents dripping and allows for the necessary time to smooth the surface.

    Base Hard is safe for nails and skin because it is:

    7-free: Free from harmful substances such as formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, camphor, toluene, DBP, ethyl tosylamide and xylene.

    Hema free: Hema is a component that promotes the adhesion of semi-permanent gels. It's not harmful or dangerous, but it can cause allergies. This is precisely why we offer Hema-free products.

    Cruelty-free and Vegan: Our products are not tested on animals and contain no animal-derived ingredients. Let's take care of our planet together.

    Consistency: Its thick consistency allows it to self-level during application. It makes working with it quick and easy, without filing.

    • It self-levels perfectly and forms the right curvature.
    • Very stable, does not drip.

    Color: Available in clear (transparent) and six other shades: toffy, french pink, skin, milk, cream, ivory, all highly pigmented, they allow you to cover defects of the nail plate.

    Quantity: 15ml

    Curing time: 48w LED lamp 90sec, UV lamp 3-4 min.

    Removal: Remove the base with the cutter or with the file. For the cutter use a carbide or ceramic tip preferably red/blue grain.

    Duration:

    • Perfect durability without lifting, does not create cracks.
    • Suitable for reconstructions and extensions on small-sized paper.
    • Requires application of STEP ONE CLEAR base as first step.
    • Thanks to the high pigmentation, after application it can be covered with semi-permanent color or leave it in its natural shade.

    Application

    • Remove the old product with the nail drill or file.
    • Carefully matt the entire surface of the nail plate with the 180 grit file or buffer. Avoid leaving shiny areas as the product will not adhere properly.
    • Clean the nail from dust with a toothbrush. In the case of manicures, proceed at this point of the treatment.
    • Degrease the nails with cleaner or alcohol.

      If necessary, you can proceed with:
    • Apply Nail Prep Cactus, wait 30 sec. for the product to evaporate completely.
    • Apply Scotch Acid-free Primer in a thin layer. Wait 1 minute for it to dry completely.
    • Apply Base Step One in a thin layer, massaging the nail while avoiding touching the skin. Take care to cover the entire nail surface well. Cure.
    • Apply HARD BASE CACTUS in a thin layer making the gliding layer, then apply a drop of product in the middle of the nail and with a No. 0/7 BRUSH level the surface.
    • If the application of the product was not precise, the surface can be filed. After filing clean the dust and degrease with cleaner or alcohol.
    • Proceed with GEL POLISH CACTUS and finally with TOP NO WIPE.
      In the case of coloured HARD BASE, if you wish to leave the colour of the base, proceed directly with TOP NO WIPE or TOP COVER.

    At the end of the treatment, do not leave the tip too thin, use the file in front of the free edge, shortening the length slightly to increase the thickness of the product at the tip by 1 mm.
