Product details

Description

The APRÉS Gel-X Prep Acid-Free Tip Primer is a professional-grade nail solution specifically engineered to optimize the application of Gel-X extensions. This innovative formula chemically etches the interior surface of full-coverage nail tips, creating a microscopic texture that drastically improves bond strength with the Extend Gel. Designed for professional nail technicians and DIY manicure enthusiasts alike, this primer replaces the tedious and messy task of manual filing or mechanical drilling.

By eliminating physical buffing, it prevents airborne nail dust and reduces prep time significantly. The non-acidic composition ensures a gentle yet highly effective preparation process that safeguards the physical integrity of all nail tip types. Incorporating this chemical etching step ensures maximum durability, flexibility, and longevity for extensions, preventing premature lifting or snapping.

It provides a flawless, smooth foundation, making it an essential addition to any high-end salon setup looking to streamline workflow while maintaining pristine, long-lasting results for imported American manicure systems.

How to use

  1. Apply a quick, even swipe of the non-acidic primer onto the interior surface of the Gel-X nail tip where it will contact the natural nail plate.
  2. Allow the liquid to air-dry completely and chemically etch the surface before proceeding with the application of your choice of Extend Gel.

    Great for etching! Got to get those nails prep for application.

    So I thought that prep primer was all the same, but then once I used it to etch out the inside of the nail tip, I can tell that it's better and more effective then other primers that I have used! I will keep repurchasing this!!!
