Cat Eye Base No. 5 Camouflage Base

Cat Eye Base No. 5 is a base with a "cat's eye" effect. The product contains small metal particles that react to the action of a magnet, moving in the not yet polymerized coating layer, creating a magical reflection in the design.
These bases have a medium consistency, are self-leveling, and do not require a dark undercoat, as they have optimal color density.

Features:

• Not suitable for straightening long nails without prior strengthening.
• Provides a high level of coverage of the natural nail due to high pigmentation.
• Hypoallergenic and has a neutral odor.
• Drying time in the lamp is 120 seconds.
• You can heat it up further to make the consistency even thinner.
• Minimal shrinkage is possible during wear due to the elasticity of the base.
• Requires a Rubber Base backing.
• It has an acidity of 5–6 pH.
• The power of the drying lamp is 36–48 W. The lamp must be original.
• It is perfectly removed both by sawing and using liquid.
• Provides flaking-free wear for 3–4 weeks.
• Elastic and flexible.
• The basic rule when leveling: the thickness at the edge of the nail should be 0.5 mm.
• Thixotropic - becomes thinner if you move the brush while working.
• It does not flow and self-levels very quickly.
• It has a medium consistency.

Application method:

1. Withdrawal.
2. We do not file the nail shape or leave it 2 mm long, which we will remove after leveling.
3. Use a 220-grit file to file the nail without applying strong pressure from above, lifting the scales of the nail plate, or use a 100-grit buff.
4. Let's do a manicure.
5. If we work with removers, we wash our hands with soap after working with them.
6. Degrease the nail with Nail Prep LUNAmoon . We do two approaches. We use 4 napkins for this (1 napkin for 5 fingers). The first approach: wipe the surface of the nail. The second approach: take an orange stick, put a napkin on it and wipe everything in the cuticle area and in the sinuses.
7. We use a primer if desired, but if the base for the substrate has sufficient acidity, then it is not needed.
8. For the base coat, use Rubber Base or Fix Base LUNAmoon. Apply a thin layer, rubbing the material into the nail plate with a flat brush. Pay special attention to the cuticle area and sinuses to avoid peeling. Dry for 60 seconds.
9. We recommend not removing the tackiness from the base coat, as it helps chemically bond with subsequent layers of coating (gel, color, base coat). Removing the tacky layer weakens the chemical adhesion and there is a risk of peeling.
10. Next, apply a thin layer of base with a "cat's eye" effect, apply a modeling drop, turn the finger over to level it, and use a magnet to create a highlight. Dry each finger in the lamp for 160 seconds.
11. File the shape after it has been smoothed out. This is necessary so that a thickness forms on the edge of the nail that will hold the free edge.
12. We erase the stickiness.
13. Cover with top coat. Dry for 120 seconds. After drying, do not wipe with anything, as the shine may be lost.
