Collection: Prep Products
Proper nail preparation is the single most important factor in making a gel manicure last and the right prep products create the foundation that everything above them depends on.
pH Bond is the essential first step before any gel product is applied. This prep solution cleanses the nail plate, removes surface oils and moisture, and balances the pH of the nail to create the optimal bonding environment for your base coat. Without pH Bond, natural nail oils reduce adhesion and are the primary reason gel polish lifts prematurely.
Nail dehydrator goes one step further, removing any remaining moisture from the nail plate after pH Bond. In humid environments or for clients with naturally oily nails, using both pH Bond and a dehydrator significantly improves how long a gel manicure lasts between appointments.
Nail primer etches the nail surface at a microscopic level to create a mechanical bond between the natural nail and the product above it, particularly important in acrylic and hard gel application where maximum adhesion is critical.
