These worked well with my gel nail set that I currently use. The dehydrator cleanses the nail and prepares it for the gel polish. The primer works to prepare the surface. Then the base and top coat leave the nail looking thick and glossy. If you are a UV Gel nail girl, these are great additives for your kit. Read more

Just what I was looking for in a set. The Modelones dehydrator and primer work well. The base and top coat are holding strong a week later with no chipping or lifting. Granted I do prep my nails correctly first. The brushes make application easy and clear. For the money, the bottle size is good. For reference, I used a Modelones nail polish color, two coats as well. I think using the same brands does help prevent lifting but who knows. Read more

For anyone doing gel manicures at home or working with acrylic systems, nail prep products are often the difference between a manicure that lasts a few days and one that stays flawless for weeks. The **** aims to simplify that preparation process by combining several essential steps—dehydrator, primer, base coat, and top coat—into a beginner-friendly kit. A complete prep system rather than just polish What makes this set particularly useful is that it focuses on the foundation of nail durability, not just the visible color layer. The dehydrator helps remove oils and moisture from the natural nail plate, while the primer improves adhesion between the natural nail and gel products. Together, they create a stronger base so gel polish or acrylic enhancements are less likely to lift or peel prematurely. Once that foundation is prepared, the base coat acts as a bonding layer, allowing gel color to grip the nail surface more effectively. The glossy top coat then seals everything in, adding shine while protecting against chips, scratches, and smudging. This layered system mirrors what many professional salons use, which is why it can noticeably extend the life of a DIY manicure. Gentler formula for sensitive nails One of the standout features is the acid-free primer formula, which is designed to reduce irritation compared with traditional acid primers. Acid-free primers typically work by balancing nail oils rather than aggressively etching the nail surface, making them a safer option for people with sensitive nails or those new to nail enhancements. The formula is also compatible with gel polish, acrylic powder, extension gels, and dip systems, giving it flexibility for different nail techniques. Results that mimic salon-style manicures When applied properly, the combination of dehydrator, primer, base, and top coat can help manicures last three to four weeks without lifting or dulling, which is comparable to salon results. The top coat delivers a high-gloss finish, giving nails that glass-like shine many people associate with professional gel manicures. Meanwhile, the base layer helps prevent color staining and protects the natural nail underneath. A few small learning-curve moments Like most nail prep systems, the results depend heavily on proper application. Nails should be lightly buffed, cleaned, and oil-free before applying the dehydrator and primer. If layers are applied too thickly or cured incorrectly, lifting can still occur—something that beginners may encounter while learning the process. Additionally, the base coat typically remains slightly sticky after curing, which is normal and actually helps the next gel layer adhere properly. Final verdict The Modelones Nail Dehydrator and Primer with Gel Base & Top Coat Set succeeds by focusing on the often-overlooked science behind long-lasting manicures. Instead of relying on thicker polish layers, it strengthens the preparation stage so color and extensions stay in place longer. For DIY nail enthusiasts, beginners learning gel manicures, or anyone looking for a budget-friendly way to achieve salon-quality durability at home, this set offers a practical and effective foundation for stronger, shinier nails.

I give this product a 4 to 5 for the simple fact that the base code is really not that good. I’ve used cheaper base coats from Temu that are better, but I also need dehydrator and primer because I had wasted mine all over my bed so I needed to get those too, so I figured I would just get the pack. It was cheaper than buying them individually. The dehydrator honestly could dehydrate a little bit better but for what you pay you really get the top code is amazing and it really does last. The shine on your nails doesn’t fade or get that weird dullness to it but I also do do my nails every week and a half to two weeks so that could be why I’ve never had my nails on longer than that. Well, I have had them on for a month and I don’t think it faded so I would say you can stretch it to a month however I don’t keep my nails typically on for a month because I liked every time I see a design I change them but yes, the top code is amazing. Dehydrator is OK the primer I mean, I honestly still working on what primer is used for the base is kind of bad. I’ve used the base with just regular nails and painting gel and gel polish has completely fallen off of nails. It has very good consistency. Just be careful with the dehydrator cause it definitely is very liquidy. It’s easy to apply. I love their brush and there isn’t really a smell so all in all you get what you pay for. Read more

This 4 pcs set of 10ml is quite helpful. The quality of the each product its a 10/0 and they are really easy to use. The brush is very easy going when it comes to applying the layers of the product you need. The size is accurate for what you pay, or even more than fair (i think). The base and top coat do protect the designs made and the nail preps really do their thing, my designs are lasting longer than before. I had a set made the first week of November and on December 13 they are still on. I LOVE how glossy the top coat cures on the nail. Its more than worth it! Read more
