DNKa - Cover Base #0057 Candy, 12ml / 30ml

A Pink Base with Pink and Green Confetti

DNKa Cover Base #0057 Candy is a professional camouflage base in solid pink, decorated with bright pink and green confetti particles throughout. Unlike the milky white or clear bases used for confetti effects elsewhere in the line, Candy starts from a fully pigmented pink foundation, so the color itself carries the design rather than acting as a neutral backdrop for the particles.

This shade solves a need for clients who want a genuinely colorful, playful manicure with decoration built directly into the formula, skipping the extra step of hand-applied nail art or a separate glitter topper.

The formula has a medium consistency, medium hardness, and high adhesion and pigmentation. It self-levels well, creating a flawless architecture and reflective shine on the nail plate. It resists shrinking during wear, reduces the overall time needed for the procedure, and holds its finish without spreading for 3–4 weeks.

How to Apply

1. Degrease the buffed nail surface
2. Apply an acid-free primer for extra adhesion
3. Build a foundation layer with DNKa Nano Base, Rubber Base, or Fiber Base and cure
4. Apply Candy as a leveling layer and cure
5. Seal with DNKa Top No Wipe or Top Matt No Wipe

Because the particles vary in size, a gentle mix before use helps keep the distribution even from nail to nail. Candy works well as a bold, standalone manicure for clients who want their nail color and decoration in a single step. It's part of the DNKa Cover Base collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Candy an opaque colored base or a sheer confetti topper?
It's a fully pigmented pink base with confetti built in, so it delivers color and decoration together rather than a sheer topper effect.

Do the confetti particles settle in the bottle?
A gentle mix before application helps keep the distribution even, since the particles vary in size.

Do I need a separate base coat first?
Yes, apply and cure a foundation layer such as DNKa Nano Base, Rubber Base, or Fiber Base before applying Candy.
