Push back and buff the nails, then clip the cuticle edge with curved scissors. Work slowly, remove debris, and prep nails for gel polish and soft gel extensions.
Primer vs Bonder5:47
Prep nails for gel extensions by cleaning with isopropyl alcohol to remove oils and debris, then dehydrate and apply bonder rather than primer for a sticky layer that enhances adhesion.
