    Description

    Your nails but better! Discover the new Strong Base Skin: nine nude shades ideal for French manicures, correcting small surface imperfections like your favourite foundation and creating elegant nude looks.

    Strong Base Skin is a rigid gel polish base suitable for all nail types and particularly reinforcing for fragile, thin nails. Its characteristics help prevent dips in the surface, making it ideal as a base for French manicures and for use with No Wipe Top Coat for a natural effect.

    #1: warm peachy nude with medium coverage. Similar to #2, but more transparent, lighter and slightly more orange.


    IMPORTANT: after applying and curing the product, file the free edge and shorten the length slightly to avoid creating a structure that is too thin at the tip. This helps maintain approximately 1 mm of thickness at the tip and reduce lifting from the free edge.

    Consistency: medium consistency, almost liquid, similar to Rubber Base. It helps speed up the service and allows the nail plate to be levelled while creating the apex. It is a practical option for technicians who are starting out.

    Colour: available in nine shades designed to suit different skin tones and creative looks.

    Quantity: 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: designed to remain stable without lifting when applied correctly.

    Application

    • Remove the old product.
    • Very carefully buff 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
    • Proceed with manicure at this time if necessary
    • Degrease nails with Cactus Cleanser or alcohol

      If necessary, you can proceed with:
    • Apply Nail Prep Cactus, wait 30 sec for the product to completely evaporate.
    • 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 coat in a thin layer, massaging the nail while avoiding touching the skin. Take care to cover the entire nail surface well. Cure.
    • Apply STRONG BASE in a thin layer making the gliding layer, then apply a drop of product and with the Cactus Brush No. 0/7 level the surface creating the convexity. Cure.
    • Proceed directly with Top Coat NO WIPE or cover first with Cactus Gel Polish and then apply Top Coat NO WIPE.

      ATTENTION: the base is rigid, do not leave the tip too thin at the end of the treatment. The thickness of the product, at the tip, must be 1 mm: to get it pass with the file in front of the free edge by slightly shortening the length.
