Nail Primer

Shills Professional Nail Primer is a professional nail-preparation solution designed to improve the bonding surface between the natural nail and compatible gel, builder gel, acrylic or artificial nail enhancement systems. Applied after proper nail preparation and before base gel or enhancement product where required, Nail Primer helps create a more suitable surface for product adhesion and supports cleaner, longer-lasting professional manicure results.

The primer is especially useful during enhancement services where lifting, poor adhesion or premature separation can occur if the natural nail contains excess surface oil, moisture or residue. By preparing the nail plate before application, it helps support a stronger connection between the natural nail and the enhancement system being used.

Nail Primer should be applied sparingly and only to the natural nail surface according to the instructions of the selected nail system. It is not a colour coat, base coat or top coat; instead, it performs a specialized preparation role within the manicure process.
