The dehydrator works instantly, it leaves the nail super dry within seconds, which helps the gel stick way better. The primer is acid based, so if you have any small cuts around your fingers, it will sting. But if your skin is intact, it applies without any issues. Ever since I started using this combo, my manicures last twice as long. No lifting, no peeling at the edges, no chipping. Everything stays in place as long as I prep the nails correctly. The smell is chemical (like most nail prep products), but nothing crazy or unbearable. And despite being acid, it didn’t irritate my skin or my actual nails at all. If you want your gel polish to actually last, this set makes a huge difference. Just be careful if you have broken skin because it does burn a little. Read more

💅💝🥳Works so well. I am new to diy gel nails, but very familiar with bonding techniques after 18+ years in the dental field. So after you prep your cuticles and nails, rinse with water only, then pat dry with cotton free towel or wipes, then dehydrate, then prime, then base and cure, and continue with your set. If you are having a hard time getting your gels to bond, remember that the product is only half of the equation! The other half is preparation and state of the field, in this case the nail bed. I see a lot of negative reviews from people who may not have their techniques dialed in quite yet. If you accidentally eat something greasy or use lotion or lip gloss and it touches your nail bed, you will have bond failure if not properly cleaned. Here are some tips with common prime and bond products: 1). The field must be clean 🫧 and dry. Do not use any lotion the day you do your nails!! Do not use oily/moisturizing soap to clean your nails or hair either. Rinse with 🌊 water only 🌊 , no soap, after filing. Unlike teeth, you can desicate the nail bed and must use the dehydrater to remove any remaining oils or moisture. 2) keep all the products on your nail, NOT YOUR SKIN OR CUTICLE, and invest in cotton free wipes or you will go NUTS with little tiny stragglers in your gel! 3) Cuticle prep is absolutely essential. If you don't properly prepare your nail bed and cuticle area you will definitely experience lifting and problems. Take the time to learn how to properly do your cuticles as you can permanently damage them and cause fungus and infection if you don't properly sanitize your instruments between manicures and/or you are too aggressive in pushing or trimming. 4) When you first start doing gel nails go shy of your cuticle at least 1/2 to 1 mm. Trust me, if you accidentally get too close and flood your cuticle just clean it off and start over. 5) Invest in decent files and don't apply the gel like it's regular polish. Very thin coats are all it takes! And you can always build. 6) Do Not remove the sticky layer of the base coat, that is what makes the next layer stick and adhere together!! Unless the package directly instructs it, then follow the instructions over whatever else you here. 7). Modelones top coat is the best top coat I have tried so far and I highly recommend buying that with this dehydrator and bond. Read more
