    Description

    For transparency, we would like to clarify a detail that may seem misleading at first: if you read the ingredients in the new range, you will see “Bis-Hema”. We want to reassure you: this substance has nothing to do with Hema. More specifically, the products contain a polymer called “Bis-hema poly (1,4-butanediol) - 9 / ipdi copolymer”. This polymer is made up of several monomers and has a different molecular structure from the Hema monomer, even though both contain the word “Hema”. Chemically, they are two distinct substances with different chemical properties. As a comparison, think of Sodium Chloride and Mercury Chloride: both contain the word “chloride”, but the first is ordinary table salt, while the second is a toxic substance. Similarly, despite the word “Hema”, “Bis-hema poly (1,4-butanediol) - 9 / ipdi copolymer” is chemically different from the Hema monomer and has distinct characteristics that are absolutely not harmful to the nails. Strong Base is a rigid gel polish base suitable for all nail types and is highly reinforcing for weak nails. Its characteristics help prevent unevenness. This makes it ideal as a base for French manicures and for use with TOP NO WIPE for a natural effect.

    CAUTION: The base is rigid, so at the end of the service do not leave the tip too thin. File across the free edge, slightly shortening the length, so that the product is 1 mm thick at the tip.

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

    Colour: Available in clear and four other shades: French, Milky, Blossom and Champagne.

    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: Excellent wear without lifting.

    Application

    • Remove the old product.
    • Carefully buff the entire surface of the nail plate with a 180-grit file or buffer. Avoid leaving shiny areas, as the product will not adhere correctly.
    • If a manicure is required, perform it at this stage of the service.
    • Cleanse and degrease the nails with Cactus Cleanser or alcohol.
    If necessary, you can then proceed with:
    • Apply Nail Prep Cactus and wait 30 seconds for the product to evaporate completely.
    • If the nails are weak, apply Bonder Scotch 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, massaging it into the nail while avoiding the skin. Make sure the entire nail surface is covered. Cure.
    • Apply STRONG Base in a thin gliding layer, then apply a drop of product and use the Cactus No. 0/7 brush to level the surface and build the apex. Cure.
    • Proceed directly with Top Coat NO WIPE, or first apply Cactus Gel Polish followed by Top Coat NO WIPE.
