APRÉSGel-X Prep Acid-Free Tip Primer 15 ml, Nail Tip Etching Prep for Improved Adhesion

Liiiiisten… this is a game changer! I had been manually etching my gel x extensions and that worked perfectly fine. But when I tell you, my retention went from two weeks to FOUR after using this to chemically etch my extensions before application! Super easy to use & beginner friendly. If you are a DIY nail girlie this will be your level up! If you’re a licensed nail tech, then you already know that this works wonders! Highly recommend. I will definitely be repurchasing!

Does what it say. Easier than filing.

Don’t waste money, just use e file to etch.

It’s just rubbing alcohol. I thought it was the sticky stuff you put on before gel. Technically it’s the right thing but not with 15$ when you can get a whole bottle of rubbing alcohol for 99cents

i was skeptical at first because i’m used to pre etching my tips with a sanding band, but i’ve come to love this. i’ve been doing gel x for almost 2 years, incorporated this into my routine a few months ago and i don’t see myself going back. highly recommend!
