Can Hard Base Clear be used for delicate nail build-up?
Yes. Although the basic product parameters for Hard Base Clear do not indicate that it is intended for building up, the application instructions allow for the application of a second, thicker layer to gently build up the nail and even out its surface.
After application, you can turn your hand to level the product. With a thicker layer, the curing time can be extended to 60 seconds.
If the surface requires preparation, remove the sticky layer with Cleaner Wipe Off, smooth out the base coat with a file or buffer, remove dust, and clean the surface. Then you can proceed to apply the color and your chosen top coat.
