Gelish Pro Bond Acid-Free Nail Primer 0.5oz — Gelish's acid-free primer — Step 2 of the Gelish system protocol. Promotes strong adhesion for acrylic, gel, and tip work without the burn or etching of traditional acid primer.

Spec: Acid-free primer (chemical bond), 0.5oz brush bottle, part of the official Gelish system protocol (Step 2 after pH Bond).

Who It's For

• Salon owners: Problem-lifter clients without the burn risk of acid primer. Strong adhesion, healthier nail plate over time, fewer reactions.
• Home-studio pros: Build retention into the prep step, not the file work. Acid-free chemistry is forgiving for technique-in-progress.
• Studio owners running Gelish kits: Official Gelish protocol step — pair with Gelish pH Bond (step 1) + Gelish Foundation Base for the complete Gelish prep chain.

Highlights

• Non-acid chemistry — promotes adhesion through chemical bond, not mechanical etching — creates strong adhesion without etching the natural nail plate; no skin burn risk
• Comparable grip to acid primer for chronic-lifter clients, with significantly better nail health over the wear cycle
• Universal compatibility — works with acrylic, gel polish, builder gel, BIAB, and dip systems
• 0.5oz bottle — built-in flat brush for thin, precise application to the nail plate only

How to Use

1. Complete cuticle work, file/buff, dust removal, acetone wipe, and dehydrator
2. Apply a thin coat to the nail plate only — avoid skin and cuticle
3. Air-dry for 30–60 seconds until tacky
4. Apply base coat or acrylic immediately while primer is still active
