At Ilara Pro, a leading distributor of nail products in the Canary Islands and Tenerife, we want to help you better understand nail prep products. All these products are primers, as they prepare the nail before a manicure, ensuring better adhesion and durability.
Types of Nail Primers
Although they are all prep products, they are divided into three main categories:
- Dehydrators or pH balancers: They remove moisture from the nail and regulate its pH, optimizing the adhesion and performance of subsequent products.
- Bonders: They improve the fixation of manicure products. Ultrabond Primer creates a sticky layer on the natural nail that enhances the adhesion of gels, polishes, or acrylics.
- Acid primers: They increase the porosity of the natural nail and are ideal for acrylic application. Additionally, they dehydrate the nail to improve adhesion.
How to choose the best primer?
At Ilara Pro, we offer PH Bond (dehydrator) and Ultrabond Primer (bonder), which can be used together to maximize adhesion. It's important to know each person's nail type, as some require more preparation than others.
Frequently Asked Questions about Primers
What is a nail primer?
It is a product used before polish or acrylic application to improve the adhesion and durability of the manicure.
What is a nail dehydrator used for?
It removes moisture and natural oils, ensuring that manicure products adhere correctly without peeling off prematurely.
What is a Bonder or Ultrabond Primer?
It is a product that leaves a sticky layer on the nail to improve the adhesion of bases, gels, and acrylics, increasing the durability of the polish.
Does primer cure in a UV lamp?
Dehydrators and acid primers evaporate in the air. Some bonders require curing in a UV/LED lamp, but they always leave a sticky layer that should not be touched.
What comes first, base coat or primer?
Primer is always applied before the base coat to properly prepare the nail and ensure better adhesion.
What happens if I don't use primer?
The duration of the manicure may be reduced, depending on the nail type. Some people have nails that hold products well without the need for primer, while others require more extensive preparation.
