    Description

    Gel polish base with medium rigidity (neither flexible nor rigid), suitable for all nail types.

    Consistency: Medium viscosity. It makes application easier by allowing you to level the nail plate without difficulty, including when used as the first layer. It can be applied directly to the natural nail plate.

    Acidity: Minimal. It provides good adhesion without acid primer or Scotch bonder. We do not recommend using ACID PRIMER with this base. On weak nails, BONDER can be applied only to the free edge, from the smile line towards the tip.

    Colour: Clear.

    Size: 15 ml.

    Curing time: 60–120 seconds under a 48W LED lamp, depending on the amount of product; if the layer is very thick, cure for 2 minutes. UV lamp: 2–3 minutes.

    Removal: We recommend removal with a nail drill, preferably using a red-band carbide bit.

    Application

    • Remove the existing product.
    • Carefully mattify the entire nail plate with a 180-grit file or buffer. Avoid leaving any shiny areas.
    • Remove dust from the nail with a nail brush.
    • If you are performing a manicure, do so at this stage.
    • Degrease the nails with cleanser or alcohol.
    If needed, continue with the following steps:
    • Apply CACTUS NAIL PREP, then wait 30 seconds for the product to evaporate completely.
    • Apply SCOTCH BONDER in a thin layer only on the free edge, from the smile line towards the tip. Wait 1 minute for it to dry completely.
    • Apply CACTUS UNIVERSAL BASE in a thin layer, working it into the nail without touching the skin. Make sure to cover the entire nail surface thoroughly.
    • Cure.
    • To build the apex, apply another thin layer of base without curing, add a bead of product and level the surface using the thin CACTUS No. 0/7 brush.
    • Cure.
    • Continue with colour for the finish.

    Frequently asked questions

    What are the best nail products for a long-lasting manicure?

    Gel polish and builder gels are among the products that provide longer-lasting results: gel polishes offer up to three weeks of wear, while builder gels can be used for both overlays and extensions, making them ideal for anyone who wants nail enhancements.

    How can you protect natural nails when using nail polish and gel?

    Choosing tested, safe products and preparing the nails correctly before application is essential. Regular use of cuticle oils also helps keep both the nails and the surrounding skin hydrated and healthy.

    What is the difference between regular nail polish, gel polish and builder gels?

    Regular nail polishes provide temporary coverage and tend to scratch or chip after a few days. Gel polishes, on the other hand, last up to three weeks thanks to curing under UV/LED lamps. Builder gels are ideal for extensions and enhancements, providing greater strength and longer wear.

    What equipment is essential for a beauty salon specialising in manicures?

    A professional beauty salon should have a nail drill, UV/LED curing lamps, nail dust collectors and tools such as nail files, buffers, cuticle pushers, scissors and nail drill bits. This equipment is essential for providing high-quality services and improving the efficiency and precision of treatments.
