Every Great Dip Set Starts HereSkipping nail prep is the #1 reason dip manicures lift early. Gelish Dip Prep (Step 1) is the professional-grade natural nail dehydrator that removes surface oils, balances the nail to a neutral pH, and creates the ideal foundation for your dip powder to bond to — so your set lasts as long as it should.One coat before your Dip Base is all it takes to dramatically improve adhesion and longevity. It's the step that separates a 3-day manicure from a 14-day one.🔗 https://www.snailsnails.com/products/gelish-dip-essentials-prepWhy It's a Kit Essential Removes Surface Oils — eliminates the #1 cause of dip powder lifting and peeling pH Balancing — neutralizes the nail surface for optimal chemical adhesion Fast-Evaporating Formula — dries in seconds, no waiting, no residue Universal Compatibility — works with the full Gelish Xpress Dip System and most dip powder systems Precision Brush Applicator — targeted, mess-free application every time How to Use Complete your dry manicure — push back cuticles, file, and shape the natural nail. Buff the nail surface lightly and remove dust with a lint-free wipe. Apply one even coat of Dip Prep (Step 1) to the entire nail plate. Allow to evaporate completely (10–15 seconds) — the nail will appear matte when ready. Proceed immediately to Dip Base (Step 2) while the surface is still dehydrated. Pro TipDon't touch the nail after applying Prep — even clean fingers transfer oils. Work one hand at a time and move straight to your Base coat to lock in the dehydration window. This single habit will eliminate most lifting issues before they start.Step 1 of the Gelish Xpress Dip System | Air-Dry Formula | No Lamp Required | Made by Gelish | Professional Strength
