What is a Base Cell Paste?

A base cell paste is a type of resin pigment used as a foundation layer to help create cells, lacing, movement, and separation effects in resin art.

These pastes are typically used in combination with another paste (often from a different brand) and manipulated through techniques like swiping and controlled heat.

They’re especially popular for:

• Lacing and cellular reactions

• Dimensional layered artwork

• Fluid movement and separation

• Natural stone and organic effects

Base Cell Application Tips

This Colour Passion paste is a base paste, making it a popular choice for artists exploring base cell or base cell activator effects in resin art.

When used in layered resin applications and manipulated with heat and movement techniques (like the swipe), it can help create soft separation, lacing, and organic cell development.

Because of its balanced opacity and subtle shimmer, Mushroom Lustre is especially loved for creating natural stone looks, warm dimension, and soft blended transitions.
