This ensures a clean as possible surface for maximum adhesion.Step Two Apply 2 coats of protein bond to each nail for hard gel and acrylic. For gel polish, only a small amount of protein bond is needed on the very edge of each nail.Step Three For nail polish, 1 to 2 coats of protein bond (depending on how oily the nail beds are) can protect the polish from chipping for a week

Wow.  It works!
5 Stars
Wow. It works!
I’ve started using builder gel as part of my manicure. However, every time I do, within three or four days, all the nails start peeling off even with proper nail prep. I ran across this product on a YouTube channel. I am not disappointed. This is day 9 and there are no signs of peeling. I’m excited to try more polish but I want to keep this on as long as possible just to see how many days it lasts. I’m impressed!
Thank you for your feedback

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing stuff!
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2024
Definitely a must have if you have issues with polish not staying on your nails. I use gel, mostly at home. I am not sure what happened in the last year, but it simply won't stay on my nails no matter if I do it or if it was done professionally. It was chipping and/or peeling off in 2-4 days! I tried it the first time last week (at home) and my polish is still going strong a whole week later. Absolutely recommend, at least for gel polish.
