DNKa - Cover Base #0027 Serious, 12ml

DNKa - Cover Base #0027 Serious, 12ml a Soft, Elastic Dusty Pink with a Violet Undertone

DNKa Cover Base #0027 Serious is a professional camouflage base in a dusty pink shade with a violet undertone — a muted, sophisticated tone that stands apart from brighter or cooler pinks in the DNKa Cover Base line. It's part of the DNKa Cover Base collection, and it works well for technicians and at-home users looking for a more subdued, editorial pink.

The formula has a soft, elastic feel with a medium consistency (closer to liquid) and high adhesion and pigmentation. It self-levels across the nail plate, doesn't shrink or spread during wear, and resists chipping and peeling for 3–4 weeks.

How to apply:

1. Prep and degrease the nail plate, then apply a primer for extra adhesion.
2. Apply DNKa Nano Base, Rubber Base, or Fiber Base as a foundation layer and cure for 60 seconds under an LED/hybrid lamp, or 2 minutes under UV.
3. Apply DNKa Cover Base #0027 Serious as a leveling layer and cure again for 60 seconds (LED/hybrid) or 2 minutes (UV).
4. Finish with DNKa Top No Wipe or Top Matt No Wipe and cure for 2 minutes (LED/hybrid) or 3 minutes (UV) for a glossy or matte result.

The violet undertone gives Serious a slightly cooler, more muted look than a straightforward pink, making it a good option for anyone who wants a camouflage base with a bit more depth. This shade contains HEMA, so technicians working with sensitive clients should check the ingredient list before use.
