Important Application Information
Luxury Base is suitable for gently strengthening and building the natural nail plate.
It is not intended for extending the nail beyond its natural free edge.
The base leaves a sticky inhibition layer after curing. Do not remove this layer before applying gel polish or top coat unless the chosen application technique specifically requires it.
Avoid contact with the cuticles and surrounding skin.
Curing time may vary depending on the type, power and condition of the lamp used.
HEMA-free products may still contain other acrylates and are not allergy free. Avoid skin contact and cure the product correctly.
