SAGA professional LEAF BASE #5 - Rubber Base Gel 8ml Product Overview The SAGA professional LEAF BASE #5 is a highly popular camouflage rubber base coat infused with delicate metallic flakes. It is designed to strengthen the natural nail while providing a beautiful, on-trend color and texture in a single step. Product Type: Camouflage (Pigmented) Rubber Base Gel with Potal (Leaf) Flakes Volume: 8ml Shade: #5 (Cappuccino/Light Beige with Gold Leaf) Key Features & Benefits Chic Camouflage Color: Shade #5 features a warm, sophisticated cappuccino or light beige tone that perfectly camouflages nail imperfections and creates an elegant, polished foundation. Golden Flake Effect: The base is richly mixed with weightless Gold Leaf (Potal) flakes. These metallic accents add subtle shimmer and dimension, turning a simple base coat into a decorative, finished manicure. Strengthening Rubber Formula: The rubber base composition offers exceptional flexibility and adhesion, providing superior reinforcement for natural nails. It is ideal for weak or flexible nails to prevent chipping and lifting. Self-Leveling & Time-Saving: The medium consistency self-levels easily, allowing you to quickly build a smooth surface (minor apex) and even out the nail plate, drastically reducing preparation and filing time. Versatile Finishing: Can be worn alone simply with a top coat for a quick, stylish look, or used as a perfect, strong base for a French manicure or subsequent gel polish application. Professional Application Requires curing under a UV or LED nail lamp. Properly prep the natural nail (cleanse, shape, buff, apply dehydrator/primer). Apply a thin adhesion/rub-in layer of the base. Apply a slightly thicker layer of SAGA professional LEAF BASE #5 to build your desired shape and level the nail plate. Cure in a UV/LED lamp (Curing times: typically 30-60 seconds in LED or 2 minutes in 36W UV). If necessary, wipe the tacky layer and refine the shape with a file. Finish with a matte or glossy top coat and cure.
