DARK Pro Base Potal 40 Camouflage Base 15ml

Medium pigmentation is a deliberate setting, not a weaker version of full cover. Potal 40 is built to even the plate while still letting some of the natural nail read through, which is what a lot of clients actually want from a base.

Medium Pigmentation Is A Choice

A fully opaque base gives you a blank surface, and on a bare nail look that reads as paint. Medium pigmentation evens the tone without erasing it, so the finish still looks like a nail rather than like a coat of color. It is the setting most bare and French work sits in.

The Potal Effect

DARK sells this in the Potal line, and the effect is what separates it from a plain camouflage base. It is a decorative finish rather than a structural one, so the pigmentation and the handling below are what decide whether it works for you day to day.

Pro Base Potal 40 Specifications

Fluid Enough To Lay Thin

A liquid consistency is what lets you align the plate in one quick pass instead of pushing thick product around with the brush. Speed matters here as much as finish: a base that takes a minute per nail to place has cost you a quarter of an hour by the tenth.

Soft Rather Than Hard After Curing

DARK describes the cured texture as closer to plastic than to a hard gel. That flexibility is why it moves with the natural nail instead of cracking off it, and it is also why it files back easily if you need to reshape the apex.

What It Asks Of You

Like the rest of this low acid line it wants a transparent base substrate underneath for adhesion, and the 60 second figure assumes a 48W lamp. Both are conditions rather than suggestions.

Pro Base Potal 40 Questions

Will the natural nail show through? Somewhat, and deliberately. Medium pigmentation evens the tone rather than blocking it out.

Can it be worn with no color over the top? Yes, that is the main use. Seal it with a top coat as you would any base left exposed.

How thin should the layer go? As thin as it will lie. The fluid texture is there so one pass levels the plate without building height.
