Great Prep Product for Gel X Applications
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.

Game-Changer for Gel-X Prep
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.

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!!!

I like it
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.
