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.

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

F.O.X Cover Base Tonal 005 is a medium-viscosity rubber BIAB (Builder In A Bottle) base in a soft pastel pink camo shade, perfect for gel polish application or creating soft, natural-looking French sets. Its self-leveling texture makes it effortless to build flawless nail architecture without running or streaking.

These semi-hard gel builder bases deliver the perfect mix of flexibility and strength, making them ideal for short to medium natural nail lengths. This base is a salon favorite for reinforcing weak or damaged nails — it smooths the surface, adds durability, and prevents chipping, cracking, or lifting.

The pastel pink camouflage tone gives nails a fresh, healthy look while blurring imperfections in the natural nail plate.

Why techs love it:

Medium consistency — easy to control
Semi-hard BIAB formula for added strength
Self-leveling for a flawless finish
Long-lasting adhesion
Camouflages imperfections
Soft pastel pink tone, perfect for a clean base or baby boomer look

Benefits of tinted builder bases:

Speeds up your service – skip a separate color coat
Adds structure and strength to natural nails
Self-leveling formulas for smooth application

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.
