LUNA - Cover Base #26, 13ml / 30ml

Cover Base #26 is a camouflage base for covering and leveling nails, in 13 ml and 30 ml. The manufacturer’s page describes a highly pigmented, elastic and flexible formula, with a medium thixotropic consistency that thins out as the brush moves, does not run and self-levels quickly.

By the Numbers

• 0.5 mm: the recommended thickness at the free edge when leveling
• 60, 90 and 120 seconds: cure times for the underlayer, the leveling layer and the top coat
• 36-48 W: the power of the original lamp the page asks for
• 5-6 pH: the acidity of the base
• 2 mm: the length the page suggests leaving on the nail, to trim after leveling
• 3-4 weeks: the wear without lifting claimed on the page

How It Is Used

Over a thin underlayer of a rubber or fix base, with the sticky layer left on. After leveling, file the shape, wipe off the sticky layer and apply the top coat without wiping it afterwards. A primer is optional, and is not needed when the underlayer is acidic enough.

The page says minimal shrinkage is possible during wear because of the base’s elasticity.
