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
Cover Base Tonal 012 is a medium-viscosity rubber base that's perfect for both gel polish application and soft, natural-looking French sets. It self-levels beautifully, making it easy to build the ideal nail architecture without running or streaking.
This base is a go-to for reinforcing weak or damaged nails — it smooths out the surface, adds strength and flexibility, and keeps the gel from chipping, cracking, or lifting.
The soft, pastel-toned camo shade gives the nails a clean, healthy look and helps blur out any imperfections in the natural nail plate.
For best adhesion and to help prevent lifting (since Cover Base Tonal is a harder base) we recommend applying a thin slip layer of a flexible base like Base Rubber or Base Power first.
Why techs love it:
- Medium consistency — easy to control
- Adds strength to thin or problem nails
- Self-levels like a dream
- Long-lasting adhesion
- Camouflages imperfections
- Soft, wearable nude tone, perfect for a clean base or a baby boomer look
