The primer for nails is a very important liquid as it affects the long durability of gels, gelish gel polishes and acrylic nails. It acts as a double-sided adhesive tape, which significantly strengthens the bond between the natural nail and the plastic.


The primer removes grease and changes the pH of the nail, thus increasing the adhesion of the gel, gelish gel polish or acrylic on the nail. It prevents air bubbles on the nail and helps the base to stick more to the problematic and oily nail plate.

When choosing nail preparation products, we recommend professional and proven products that provide top results and at the same time are not aggressive towards the natural nail.

There are two types of examples - Acid Primer (with acid) and Acid Free Primer (without acid). What are the differences between them and when and how to use them


Acid-Free Primer


The acid-free primer is used to increase the adhesion of the nail plate. The case is odorless and has a gentle formula that does not burn or irritate. It is safe for nails and will not damage them. It does not evaporate after application and does not leave a sticky layer on the nails.


Acid Primer


Acid Primer is recommended for working with extremely problematic nail plate, on which the manicure is usually lifted and chipped. Typically, this happens when a client has hormone problems or hyperhidrosis. Acid Primer is a stronger substance that sticks to the nail plate. We always apply it, only in the middle of the nail. If the cuticle area is sensitive, Acid Primer can create a burning sensation.


Using Primer

  • prepare the nail plate as always
  • degrease the nail with Cleaner
  • apply the Primer to the natural nail plate with a brush and avoid applying to the cuticle.
  • Acid Primer - apply a thin layer, just like varnish. Wait 40-60 seconds for it to dry. This coating will not completely evaporate, so it leaves a sticky residue on the nails.
  • Acid Free Primer - can be applied as Acid Primer (over the entire surface of the natural nail or apply 1-2 small dots on the nail and it will spread all over the nail plate. Wait for it to evaporate completely and dry.
  • Apply a base gel base, gelish gel polish or acrylic


Tips:

Select Primer according to the condition of the nail plate. As a rule, we recommend Primer without acids in the case of really problematic and oily nails (hormonal changes), we recommend Primer Acid (with acidity).

You should always apply the Primer only on the natural nail plate even if you are performing a correction and filling with overgrown gel or acrylic. As Primer evaporates and dries in the air, always close the bottle well after use so that it does not lose its adhesion to the natural nail.

If you are pregnant and you are concerned about the use of an acid primer, we advise you to consult your doctor before use.
