The story behind the product

The light sand shade creates a neutral colour foundation. Ceramic Base combines the functions of a nail base and a sculpting material. Its thick consistency and self-levelling properties allow a smooth surface to be created during application. Once cured, its rigid structure holds the sculpted shape, making it suitable for minor shape corrections as well as a thin bonding layer.

The material is designed for short extensions of up to two millimetres and for building the apex. Tinted versions provide colour as well as a base, allowing the manicure to be finished with a SHIELD top coat without a separate colour layer. Clear creates a transparent base. The choice of variant affects the look of the coating, while the base's sculpting function remains the same.

The coating lasts up to twenty-eight days. Apply a thin layer or use a sculpting technique to suit the nail shape. If a colour change is planned for the next appointment, apply a thin layer of compatible rubber base under Ceramic Base.
