Prep your nails and prevent lifting
Good preparation of the natural nail is the foundation for nail extensions that last and look flawless. Thorough prep helps ensure strong adhesion and prevents your nail extensions from lifting too soon.
How do I achieve strong adhesion and prevent lifting?
You achieve strong adhesion by preparing your nails thoroughly. First, cleanse the nails with a Cleanser to remove oil and residue. Then use a Dehydrator (PH Bond), which removes excess moisture and creates a dry surface. Finally, apply a Primer, which improves the bond between your natural nail and the nail extension. A good base helps prevent lifting.
