Primer

Why Choose Primer?

    •    Maximizes adhesion between the natural nail and base coat

    •    Prevents lifting and peeling

    •    Dehydrates the nail surface to remove oils

    •    Ensures a smooth, even foundation for gel products

    •    Essential for long-lasting manicures

Use Primer If:

    •    The client has oily or moisture-prone nails that cause lifting

    •    You want to improve adhesion and durability of gel or acrylic applications

    •    You are performing gel polish, builder gel, or acrylic enhancements

    •    You want to extend the wear time of manicures and prevent product separation

Step 1: Nail Prep

    1.    Sanitize & Prep – Cleanse hands and nails with sanitizer. Push back cuticles and remove any excess skin.

    2.    Shape the Nail – File and buff the natural nail to remove shine. Ensure nails are clean, dry, and free from dust.

    3.    Apply Nail Dehydrator – This removes any residual oils and prepares the nail for primer application.

Step 2: Primer Application

    1.    Apply a thin, even layer of Proffi Primer to the natural nail.

    2.    Allow it to air dry for 30–60 seconds (do not cure under a lamp).

    3.    Avoid contact with skin or cuticles to prevent irritation.

    4.    Proceed with base coat or builder gel application once the primer is dry and tacky.

Step 3: Continue with Base or Builder Application

    1.    Apply Proffi Rubber Base or your preferred base coat.

    2.    Cure under LED/UV lamp as recommended (usually 30–60 sec).

    3.    Continue with gel polish or top coat for a strong, long-lasting finish.
