Nail Prep also known as nail dehydrator or ph bonder. It is applied to nails to remove moisture and oil from the nail plate. When oil or moisture is on the nail plate it can prevent nail products such as nail polish, acrylic, or gel from bonding properly to the nails. Always apply the nail dehydrator first and then the nail primer or a base coat. Nail dehydrator is applied after prepping your cuticles and filing and cleaning your nails. How to Use Dehydrators: Firstly, you need to prep your nails by pushing back your cuticles. And then gently file your nails with a medium grit nail file to remove the sheen. Next, clean your nails with a cotton pad soaked in acetone or rubbing alcohol. Now you can apply a coat of the nail dehydrator and wait 10 seconds for it to dry. Then apply a coat of nail primer if needed or a base coat. Finally, apply your nail product as you usually would.
