Description

The APRÉS Non-Acidic Gel Primer is a premium professional salon solution designed to maximize the bond strength and longevity of your nail extensions without causing damage. Serving as the essential second step in the signature Gel-X prep system, this liquid primer chemically etches the surface to form a perfectly smooth, tacky layer.

This specialized coating significantly enhances adhesion between the natural nail plate and the extension tip, effectively reducing the risk of lifting, peeling, or premature popping off. Formulated entirely without harsh acids, this gentle, non-toxic primer is engineered to protect delicate natural nails and prevent skin irritation, making it highly suitable for individuals with sensitive cuticles or weak nails.

It simplifies the entire nail preparation routine by chemically preparing the surface, which eliminates the tedious need for heavy manual filing or excessive physical etching. Ideal for professional nail technicians, salon owners, and home manicure enthusiasts in India who want salon-quality results, this high-performance primer ensures your Gel-X extensions remain securely bonded for weeks of flawless wear.

  3. Allow the liquid primer to air dry completely for a few seconds.
  4. The surface will remain visibly shiny and feel slightly tacky to the touch.

    Improves gel-x nail retention

    We use this primer at our house for doing gel nails and gel-x full cover tips. I like this brand over others we've tried and have found that retention is better when we use this primer. It's worth the price and lasts for a long time.

    Creates nice nails!

    This stuff is great. After my nails being ruined from a salon visit, I've been trying to get them healthy again while they grow back out. This stuff is the ticket. Even as a first time user, this stuff works great. I have used it with the gel x nails and they look nice. Next time, I'm going to try this by itself.
