DARK Pro Base Potal 43 Camouflage Base 15ml

The brush comes in the bottle, which sounds trivial until you have used a base that does not. Potal 43 ships as a 15ml bottle with its own applicator, sized and shaped for the product rather than borrowed from a kit.

Every Bottle Comes With Its Own Brush

Bases sold in pots need a separate brush, and a separate brush needs cleaning between shades or it carries pigment across. A dedicated brush per bottle removes both problems, and on a fluid product it also matters that the bristle stiffness matches the viscosity it has to move.

Choosing A Number In A Camouflage Line

Camouflage shades are numbered rather than named because the differences are small and deliberate. The practical way to choose is to hold the bottle against the nail bed in daylight, not to read the number. Buy the one that disappears against the skin, which is the only test that matters for a base meant to look like nothing.

Pro Base Potal 43 Specifications

Low Odor Through A Full Day

Anyone working eight hours over a hand knows the difference a mild formulation makes to the room. DARK rates this one low odor, and that is a working condition rather than a luxury when the same air is being breathed by the client.

Adhesion Comes From The Layer Below

A low acid base does not etch, so it depends on a transparent base substrate underneath to grip. Apply that first, cure it, then this. Nearly every lifting complaint about low acid bases traces back to that missing layer.

What A Base Cannot Fix

Leveling a plate is not the same as repairing one. A split, a deep ridge or a lifted previous set needs dealing with before any base goes near it, and a fluid product will follow a fault rather than bridge it.

Pro Base Potal 43 Questions

Is a brush included? Yes, the 15ml bottle comes with its own applicator.

Does it need filing after it cures? Only if you are reshaping. It cures soft rather than glass hard, so it files easily when you do.

Is the smell noticeable in a small room? DARK rates the formula low odor, which is why it turns up in home studios as well as salons.
