The application of a specialized primer layer before the coloring product in a gel nail system is standard practice. This primer, typically transparent, establishes a foundation for subsequent layers.
Employing this foundational layer offers several advantages. It enhances adhesion between the natural nail and the applied gel, prolonging the manicure’s lifespan and reducing the likelihood of chipping or peeling. Furthermore, it forms a protective barrier, preventing the pigments in colored gels from directly staining the nail plate, thus safeguarding its integrity.
