This essential prep step balances the natural nail surface and establishes a chemical bond between the nail plate and gel overlays. Prep It quickly dehydrates the natural nail and removes natural oils. Apply before primer to ensure a perfectly clean and dry surface for extensions. Prep Step Step 1: Dehydration Formula Type Oil-stripping / Air-drying Bottle Size 15ml bottle The Details Why You'll Love It Premium, salon-grade nail products developed for fast application, maximum durability, and gorgeous visual results. Salon Durability Combats moisture, natural oils, and chemical barriers to deliver up to 4+ weeks of adhesion.

Gentle Formula Acid-free formulation protects the natural nail plate from damage and thinning. How to Apply Sanitize the hands, perform dry nail prep, push back cuticles, and lightly buff the nail surface. Apply an even layer of Prep It Dehydrator across the entire nail plate. Allow to air-dry completely for 5-10 seconds. The nail will take on a chalky, dehydrated appearance. Follow immediately with Prime It Nail Primer before applying your base or soft gel tips.

Shop Gel Extension Kit Shop Replacement Tips Shop Cuticle Oil Aftercare Frequently Asked Questions Why is dehydrator important? + Natural nails contain oils and moisture that block gel bonding. Dehydrator removes these contaminants, ensuring the gel can adhere directly to the keratin fibers. Do I need to cure this bottle in a lamp? + No. Both Prep It and Prime It are 100% air-drying formulas that prep the nail in seconds without needing a UV or LED light. Should I apply primer over the whole extension tip? + No. Primer should only be applied to the natural nail plate. Do not apply it over the plastic/soft gel tip as it is not necessary. Show more
