Boost the longevity of your manicure.

Designed to improve adhesion, Primer helps Gelous Gel Nail Polish adhere more effectively to your nails for manicures that last. A key player for long-lasting results, apply after pH Bond to give your manicure extra staying power.

After shaping, buffing, and cleansing your nails with a Lint Free Wipe moistened with Gelous Gel Nail Polish Remover, apply pH Bond, and follow with Primer. Allow to air-dry for 60 seconds before continuing with Gelous Base Coat, Gelous Builder Gel (if using), Gelous Colour Coat, and Gelous Top Coat as usual.

    The GOAT

    I feel like nail primer is grossly underrated, this is the daddy of em all, it sort of sinks into your nail to create a happy home for your base coat.
