    Description

    Strong Base is a rigid gel polish base suitable for all nail types and particularly strengthening for weak nails. Its properties help prevent dips and unevenness. This makes it ideal for French manicures or, when finished with TOP NO WIPE, for a natural look.

    Consistency: Medium, almost fluid consistency, similar to Rubber Base. It makes application easier and faster by allowing you to level the nail plate and build the apex. Ideal for those starting out in the profession.

    Colour: Available in Clear and 9 other shades: French, Milky, Blossom, Champagne, Fraise, Abricot, Pistache, Myrtille and Violette.

    Size: 15 ml.

    Curing time: 60–90 seconds under a 48W LED lamp; if the layer is thick, cure for 2 minutes. UV lamp: 3 minutes.

    Removal: Remove the base with a nail drill or file. When using a nail drill, preferably use a red- or blue-band carbide bit.

    Wear: 3–4 weeks without lifting.

    Application

    • Remove the existing product.
    • Carefully mattify the entire nail plate with a 180-grit file or buffer. Avoid leaving any shiny areas, as these would prevent the product from adhering properly.
    • Perform the manicure at this stage, if needed.
    • Degrease the nails with CACTUS Cleanser or alcohol.
    If needed, continue with the following steps:
    • Apply CACTUS Nail Prep, then wait 30 seconds for the product to evaporate completely.
    • For weak nails, 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 STEP ONE Base in a thin layer, working it into the nail without touching the skin. Make sure to cover the entire nail surface thoroughly. Cure.
    • Apply STRONG BASE in a thin slip layer, then place a bead of product on the nail and use the CACTUS No. 0/7 Brush to level the surface and build the apex. Cure.
    • Finish directly with NO WIPE Top Coat, or apply CACTUS Gel Polish first and then finish with NO WIPE Top Coat.

    CAUTION: The base is rigid. At the end of the treatment, do not leave the tip too thin. The product must be 1 mm thick at the tip; to achieve this, file across the free edge and shorten the length slightly.
