TIR - TIP POTION (Step Zero) – 120ml Revolutionize your soft gel application process with TIR - Tip Potion (Step Zero), now available in a professional 120ml value size at Oz Nails & Beauty Supply. Step Zero is the ultimate chemical etching solution designed to replace the time-consuming manual buffing of the inside of soft gel tips. By chemically "melting" the surface of the tip's contact area, it creates a superior, microscopic texture that ensures an unbreakable bond with your extension gel. Features and Benefits: Instant Chemical Etching: Eliminates the need for a noisy e-file or manual hand-filing inside the nail tip. One quick swipe creates the perfect "key" for gel adhesion. Maximum Bond Strength: By softening and texturizing the soft gel material at a molecular level, Tip Potion allows the Fusion Gel to "melt" into the tip, creating a true fusion rather than just a surface bond. Saves Time & Labor: Drastically reduces prep time per client. Apply to all ten tips in seconds, allowing you to move straight to the application phase. Clean & Dust-Free: Because there is no mechanical filing involved, there is zero dust created during the tip preparation process, keeping your salon environment cleaner and healthier. Universal Compatibility: Works perfectly with all Tiara X, TIR, and other high-quality soft gel tips available at Oz Nails & Beauty Supply. Large 120ml Professional Bottle: This generous size is designed for high-volume salons, providing hundreds of applications per bottle and offering the best cost-per-service. Easy Application: The liquid consistency allows for precise application only where you need it—the contact area—without affecting the clarity of the rest of the tip. How to Use: Sizing: Select the correct size soft gel tips for your client. Application: Using a lint-free wipe or a dedicated brush, apply a thin layer of TIR Tip Potion (Step Zero) to the inside contact area (the part that will touch the natural nail). Wait: Allow the liquid to sit for 5-10 seconds. You will notice the surface of the gel tip becoming slightly tacky or matte. Gel Application: Immediately apply a bead of TIR Fusion Gel or GelXBase to the etched area. Placement & Cure: Apply the tip to the prepared natural nail at a 45-degree angle and flash-cure for 15 seconds, followed by a full 60-second cure. FAQs: Does this replace the primer on the natural nail? No. Step Zero is only for the soft gel tip. You still need to use a dehydrator and primer on the client's natural nail plate for the best results. Can I use this on plastic (ABS) tips? Step Zero is specifically formulated for soft gel materials. While it may work on some plastics, it is optimized for the Tiara X and TIR soft gel systems. Does it affect the transparency of the tip? Only in the contact area where it is applied. The rest of the tip will remain crystal clear, making it perfect for "glass" or jelly nail designs. Is it safe for the skin? Avoid skin contact. This is a professional-grade chemical etchant meant only for the enhancement product. How often should I use it? Use it on every tip before every full set application to ensure maximum longevity and prevent premature lifting. Stop filing and start fusing.
