PNB Scotch Base – Universal Adhesive Foundation (8ml / 17ml)

The PNB Scotch Base is a revolutionary professional product often referred to by nail technicians as "the foundation that never fails." Taking its name from the legendary grip of double-sided tape, this base coat creates an incredibly strong, acid-free adhesive bond between the natural nail and any subsequent gel layers. Whether you are using it for a standard gel polish application or as a "rubbing" base for hard builder gels and polygels, Scotch Base ensures your manicure remains perfectly intact without lifting, even on the most challenging "oily" or "problem" nail plates. Available in sizes 8ml and 17ml.

Key Features:

• Superior Adhesion: Engineered with a specialized "sticky" molecular structure that prevents peeling at the tips and lifting at the cuticles.

• Acid-Free Safety: A gentle, non-aggressive formula that prioritizes the long-term health of the natural nail, making it suitable for thin and sensitive nails.

• Universal Compatibility: Functions as a versatile "bridge" for all systems—standard gel polish, building gels, and acryl-gels (polygel).

• Self-Leveling Consistency: Features a medium-low viscosity that spreads effortlessly, filling in micro-ridges and creating a smooth, even surface.

• Exceptional Flexibility: The cured gel moves in harmony with the natural nail, absorbing shocks and preventing the coating from becoming brittle.

• Available in Two Sizes: Choose the 8ml bottle for personal use or trial, or the 17ml bottle for professional salon efficiency.

Professional Application Tips:

1. The "Rubbing" Layer: For maximum durability under builder gels, use a flat brush to "massage" a very thin layer of Scotch Base into the nail fibers.

2. No More Lifting: This is the ideal solution for clients whose manicures typically chip within the first week due to flexible or oily natural nails.

3. Invisible Shield: Because it applies thinly, it doesn't add unnecessary bulk, making it perfect for the "Natural Nail" look.

How to Use:

1. Preparation: Cleanse the nail with PNB Nail Prep and apply Bond Control (Primer).

2. Application: Apply a thin, even layer of PNB Scotch Base over the entire nail plate, ensuring you seal the free edge.

3. Curing: Cure under a UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds.

   • Note: The layer will remain slightly tacky after curing—this is the "Scotch" effect intended to grip the next layer of color or gel.

4. Proceed: Apply your color gel polish or building gel directly onto the cured base.
