How to Apply PODO BASE: Thin, Controlled, and Not Rubbed In

The key application detail for LiNTO PODO BASE is simple: apply it thinly, but do not rub it into the nail. With this fluid base, a rubbing action can pick up too much product on the brush instead of leaving the intended coating.

Prepare the surface first

Complete the PODO preparation routine, remove dust, and cleanse as directed. Use DEHYDRATOR where excess moisture and the protocol call for it. Apply the specified non-acid primer or bonder according to its own directions, without touching skin.

Keep the prepared surface free from contamination while you move to the base step. More liquid does not compensate for an incomplete preparation routine.

Place a thin layer rather than scrubbing

Use a controlled amount on the brush and distribute it evenly. Avoid repeated rubbing passes that leave the nail with little material. At the same time, do not create a leveling apex or gather product at the sidewalls.

Check the outline and remove any accidental skin contact before curing. Position the foot as required by the lamp and product instructions so the nail receives the intended exposure.

Finish the chosen system

Cure PODO BASE using the specified compatible lamp and schedule. Add a suitable color if desired, cure it, and finish with PODO TOP as directed.

If wear is inconsistent, document the complete routine rather than changing the base application and primer together. The difference between a thin coating and an almost empty surface is worth checking—but it is only one part of a successful pedicure service.
