Nail prep or primer – what's the difference?

Nail Prep (dehydrator) removes natural oils and excess moisture from the natural nail and air-dries in approx. 30 seconds. The primer is a bonding agent between the natural nail and the gel or acrylic enhancement. The order: nail prep first, then primer.

Which primer is right for you?

Primer Ultra Bond – acid-free, low-odour and gentler on the natural nail than acid-based primers; leaves a slightly tacky bonding layer, no curing needed
B5 Acid Primer – acid-based with strong adhesion, for gel nails, acrylic nails and toenails

Both primers and the nail prep air-dry – no UV or LED curing needed. Always apply them thinly and avoid skin contact with the primer. Find out more in our guide The difference between BNC B5 Acid Primer and BNC Nail Prep.

Frequently asked questions

What comes first – nail prep or primer?

Push back the cuticles, buff the natural nail and remove the dust.
Apply a thin layer of Nail Prep and leave to air-dry for approx. 30 seconds.
Apply a thin layer of primer, e.g. Primer Ultra Bond.
Continue with the gel or acrylic enhancement.

What's the difference between acid primer and acid-free primer?

The B5 Acid Primer is acid-based and has strong adhesion. The Primer Ultra Bond is acid-free, low-odour and gentler on the natural nail – and still provides particularly strong adhesion between the natural nail and the enhancement.

Does primer need to be cured under a UV lamp?

No. Primer Ultra Bond air-dries in approx. 30 seconds and leaves a slightly tacky bonding layer. You simply let the B5 Acid Primer dry completely too. Avoid skin contact with both.

Do I need Nail Prep and Primer Ultra Bond together?

Yes, the two complement each other: Nail Prep cleans and dehydrates the natural nail, and Primer Ultra Bond then ensures the enhancement adheres. Together they help achieve an enhancement without lifting.
