Bonders & Nail Primers for Stronger Gel Adhesion
Maximize gel retention and minimize lifting with our professional-grade Bonders & Nail Primers. These essential prep products help nail techs create a perfect foundation for any gel, acrylic, or builder system by balancing the nail plate and improving adhesion.
What Are Bonders & Primers?
- Nail Dehydrators (Prep): These remove natural oils and moisture from the nail surface to prevent lifting and ensure proper bonding of any enhancement product.
- Bonders / Primers: Formulated to act as a bridge between the natural nail and the base coat or builder gel. They boost product adherence and reduce the chance of chipping or separation.
Types of Products Offered:
- F.O.X Ultrabond Non-Acid Primer (14 ml)A gentle, acid-free primer that improves adhesion without damaging the natural nail. Perfect for sensitive clients or salon environments prioritizing nail health.
- F.O.X Nano Dehydrator Nail Prep (14 ml)A powerful pre-treatment that effectively removes oils and moisture before gel, acrylic, or gel polish application.
Why Use a Primer or Bonder?
- Reduces risk of product lifting
- Promotes stronger adhesion
- Extends manicure or enhancement longevity
- Safe for natural nails
- Easy to apply and fast-drying
