DNKa - Cover Base #0087 Proud, 12ml

DNKa Cover Base #0087 Proud is a reflective golden-yellow camouflage base created for manicures that need both structure and a striking light-catching finish. Its warm gold tone gives the nails a luxurious metallic appearance, while the reflective particles become especially expressive under direct and artificial light.

Reflective Gold Effect

Proud is more than a traditional nude or camouflage base. The golden-yellow shade creates a polished reflective effect that can be worn as a complete manicure without an additional color layer.

The shade works particularly well for:

• elegant monochrome manicures;

• festive and evening nail designs;

• golden French manicures;

• minimalist designs with a metallic accent;

• stamping, stickers and decorative elements;

• rubbing and dimensional nail art.

The reflective finish makes the manicure change visually depending on the lighting, giving the nails additional depth and sparkle.

Formula Designed for Easy Leveling

DNKa Cover Base has a medium-density consistency that is closer to a thinner texture. The material distributes evenly across the nail plate and self-levels during application. After polymerization, it forms a medium-hard coating with good adhesion.

According to the product information, the base does not shrink during wear and is designed to maintain a durable coating without chipping or lifting for approximately 3–4 weeks.

How to Work with Proud

For a professional application:

1. Perform standard mechanical preparation of the natural nail.

2. Clean and dehydrate the nail plate.

3. Apply Ultrabond for additional adhesion.

4. Apply a thin layer of a compatible DNKa base and cure.

5. Apply DNKa Cover Base #0087 Proud in one or two thin layers.

6. Cure in a 48W LED/UV lamp for approximately 60–90 seconds, following the product system recommendations.

7. Apply a DNKa top coat and polymerize according to its instructions.

8. Finish the manicure with cuticle oil.

Proud can also be removed by filing or with a suitable nail polish remover.
