Professional Strength: Formulated specifically for high-end nail salons that demand the highest standards of durability for their clients. How to Use: Prep: Perform a dry manicure by pushing back cuticles and gently removing the shine from the natural nail with a fine-grit buffer. Cleanse: Remove all dust and debris using a lint-free wipe and cleanser. Apply Step Zero: Apply a thin layer of TIR - TIP POTION - Step Zero over the entire surface of the natural nail. Air Dry: Wait approximately 5-10 seconds for the product to air dry (no lamp required). The nail should look chalky or matte. Follow Up: Proceed immediately with Step 1 (Primer) or your base gel as part of the TIR system available at Oz Nails & Beauty Supply. FAQs: What exactly does "Step Zero" do? It acts as a dehydrator and pH balancer to ensure the nail is perfectly prepped for maximum product bond. Do I need to cure Step Zero in a UV/LED lamp? No, this is an air-dry product that evaporates quickly on its own. Is Step Zero the same as a Primer? No. Step Zero removes moisture and oil; a Primer (like Step 1) acts as the "double-sided tape" for the gel. For best results, use both. Can I use this with other brands of gel? Yes, while optimized for the TIR system, it works effectively with most professional nail brands. Does it damage the natural nail? Not at all. It temporarily removes surface oils to ensure a better bond and does not penetrate deep into the nail layers. Can I use this for a simple gel polish manicure? Absolutely! Using Step Zero before gel polish significantly improves wear time. How many applications can I get from a 15ml bottle? A 15ml bottle is highly economical and can last for dozens of full-set services. What happens if I skip this step? Skipping dehydration is the leading cause of "lifting" near the cuticle and side walls. Is it safe for sensitive clients? Yes, when applied correctly to the nail plate avoiding skin contact, it is safe for most clients. Where can I buy the full TIR Tip Potion system? The entire range, including Step Zero, is available at Oz Nails & Beauty Supply, Australia's trusted source for nail professionals. Set your work up for success from the very first drop.
