Pedicure Application

In pedicure, Hard Bases can be applied in two thin layers, polymerizing for 60 seconds after each layer. This technique reinforces the service’s strength without compromising the flexibility and natural appearance of the nail.

Maintenance

Maintenance should be performed within a maximum of 21 days, respecting the natural nail growth and the integrity of the applied structure.

Adhering to this interval is essential to ensure service durability, preserve the health of the natural nail, and maintain the manicure’s strength.

Removal

Hard Bases can be removed in two ways:

Chemical Removal

Using Smart Remover, following the Urban Design Care gel polish removal protocol.

Mechanical Removal

• Using a Soft Grain Carbide Volcano, carefully removing the product.
• Whenever possible, remove only about 90% of the product, keeping a thin base layer on the natural nail. This layer protects the nail plate, reduces the need for direct filing on the natural nail, and facilitates the next maintenance.
• Removal should be performed by a professional, following good technical practices.

Urban Professional Tip

Organize the use of shades according to the type of service: use Clear for neutral reinforcement, Milky shades for natural and babyboomer finishes, Cover Pink for visual camouflage of the natural nail, and Shimmer versions for services with subtle shine. To ensure complete and even polymerization, it is always recommended to apply in thin layers and use Urban Design Care adhesion promoters, ensuring maximum durability and an aesthetically perfect result.
