Gel-X Prep Acid-Free Tip Primer 15 ml, Nail Tip Etching Prep for Improved Adhesion

I’ve been using the APRÉS Gel-X Prep Acid-Free Tip Primer for Gel X services with my clients, and it has worked very well. The formula is lightweight and applies evenly, making it easy to prep the nail surface before applying the tips. I appreciate that it feels gentle and helps keep the process smooth and professional. It also lasts a long time, which is convenient for regular salon use. Overall, it’s a reliable product for anyone who works with Gel X techniques.

This product saved me so much time because I don’t have to rough up the nail tips before applying. I just add it and it does the same job, improving adhesion and helping the tips stay on better. Great quality and definitely worth it.

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!!!

Love this for tips instead of excessive filing and dust .

For several years I manually etched my GelX tips with a drill bit, but this is so much easier and faster. I’ve been doing my own GelX for almost 7 years, so of course I’ve gotten better over time. I noticed an increase in nail retention since adding this product to my routine. I typically get 4 weeks with no lifting with this product. Manual etching got me about 3 weeks before lifting and no etching at all had my nails popping off in a couple days.

much easier than using a drill. perfect to prep gel x nail tips.

Very good product. Works as expected.

Great product

This is is honestly such a must-have if you use Gel-X nails! It helps the tips stick perfectly without lifting and keeps them looking flawless for weeks.

I bought this item and used it once the smell is very strong and made me have headache for two days and i can not even return the item.
