How to use

1. Prepare the surface of the nail with a buff and apply degreasing agent F.O.X Nano Dehydrator Nail Prep.

2. Apply F.O.X's Ultrabond, an acid-free primer for extra adhesion.

Before applying F.O.X Cover Base Tonal, it is recommended to apply a thin layer of elastic base coat (ex. Power Base)

3. Apply on the entire nail plate with an even layer of F.O.X Cover Base Tonal, if strengthening and leveling is necessary use "drop method"

4. Polymerize in a UV lamp 36W – 2 minutes, LED / UV lamp 36 / 48W – 30-60 seconds.

The nail is ready to be covered with color gel polish or top.

Remove with F.O.X Gel Remover for 10 min or with machine.

Pro Tips: Keep gel jars clean by cutting a small opening in the foil instead of peeling it off — it prevents leaks and accidental curing. Bonus: use the foil edge to wipe off excess product for mess-free application!

Cover Base. Requires the application of a clear, elastic base coat first

F.O.X Cover Base Tonal 001 in a 30 ml pot is a medium-viscosity rubber BIAB (Builder In A Bottle) base in a clean milky white camo shade, perfect for gel polish application or soft French sets. Its self-leveling texture makes it easy to build flawless nail architecture without running or streaking.

These semi-hard gel builder bases give just the right balance of strength and flexibility, making them ideal for short to medium natural nail lengths. This base reinforces weak or damaged nails, smooths the surface, and helps prevent chipping, cracking, or lifting.

The milky white camouflage tone brightens the nails, giving them a fresh, healthy look while covering imperfections in the nail plate.

Why techs love it:

Benefits of tinted builder bases:

Speeds up your service – skip a separate color coat

Pro Tip:
For best adhesion and to prevent lifting (since Cover Base Tonal is a harder base), apply a thin slip layer of a flexible base like F.O.X Base Rubber or F.O.X Base Power first.
