pH-Balanced & Acid-Free Nail Primer – ProBond, 15 mL

It’s super easy to use, dries fast, and holds gel extremely well. I tested it by applying it on one hand only, and the difference was huge — the hand without it lasted less than 3 days, while another bond I tried only lasted about a week. With this ProBond, my gel stayed perfect for a whole month! The quality is amazing. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants long-lasting, beautiful nails — great for both home use and salons.

I have done my own nails for about 13 years now. I’ve always loved the soak off Gelish type gel polishes but getting any growth was hard because I’d have eventual chips & whatnot & wound have to remove it. Gel polish even with its many layers was never strong enough for my super bendy nails! Finding time to do them every 2+ weeks was hard with 3 school aged kids & a husband that is gone on work trips. I have had good success in the past with using soak off polish & dip powders but got tired of using an electric file to change the colors & was ruing my nail beds with the efile. I’ve searched for primers, bonders, you name it to get my gel polish to stay longer. After seeing the Gelish ProBond acid free nail primer I was very excited. Then I did some research & read on the Gelish site & others that it was to be used with acrylic/dip nails. Bummed, I decided to buy it anyway & hope it wasn’t a usual waste of money to get my polish to last longer & possibly a little growth. ** The pictures I posted are my New Years nails I did prior to NYE, around Dec. 30/31st & the picture was taken today on Jan 28th. So about 4 weeks growth you can see, which 100% never happens for me! My nails have never been THIS LONG, ever. ** Here is what I do: 1. I did my nail prep as usual, starting with clean natural nails (all previous gel taken off), cuticles pushed back etc. I always, even with regular nail polish, wipe the nail beds down with rubbing alcohol really good making sure to get into all the sides. You can use a nail dehydrator after that too, but the rubbing alcohol has been enough to dehydrate my nails of all oils. 2. Next, applied ProBond like a regular polish, not too thick but also not super thin. No need to cure it. 3. Next, I started using either Gelish Brush-On Builder OR Beetles Builder Gel (Builder In A Bottle: or BIAB) both are a clear thick hard gel excellent for nail growth if you have bendy nails like me. I do 2-3 coats of this on my nails (bottles do better if warmed up in your pocket or placed in hot water in a bowl prior to applying to nails). 4. After fully curing BIAB gel you can wipe with rubbing alcohol to get tackiness off. File any bumps/edges as needed. 5. Next, apply your soak off gel polish colors you wish & as you normally would with 2-3 coats & your top coat. I used to use the Gelish top coat that needs the tackiness wiped off after the final UV/LED light cure. Now, I use the Beetles no wipe top coat & I notice it’s shinier & for longer. Your done! Also, when I go to take off the gel polish I do not (!!) use acetone soaked pads with tinfoil over each nail. I buff off the shiny top coat with an electric file then use Mini Mani Moo Gel No More. It’s a little pricey compared to the gel removers on Amazon but the ones I’ve tried on Amazon are so strong they bend & misshape my nail which ends up hurting & leaving the nail all goofy looking. The Mini Mani Moo works very well after years of use. You can get it at Sally Beauty (small bottle) or on their website they have a large bottle (wait for a sale)! Works great also on regular nail polish & that glitter polish that takes ½ a bottle of acetone to come off 🤣 Hope this review helps someone, sorry for the ridiculous length!

Perfect,thick,easy to apply,under uv u can see what spots u missed since it turns kinda blue under uv (only under uv).

This Gelish Pro Bond primer is what I have been missing from doing my own acrylic nail tips. It works exceptionally well at keeping my nails from premature lifting. I do use it on my natural nail prior to gluing on the tip, but then I go over the nail and tip again after cutting and filing — then the polygel sticks securely to the entire unit! No more lifting! I have never had such compliments on my nails as I am now experiencing — I am quite proud to say that I do my own! You will love this product if lifting is a problem for you. I am thrilled with it — What a find!

My friend recommended this primer. I have long natural nails. I put it on before applying my nail polish 5 days ago and still have no chips. I'm impressed! I will be telling others and purchasing again.

this works very well. would recommend!

I'm a licensed nail tech and I use this primer all the time! It bonds so well for any product I use.

I AM IN SHOCK! This is the secret sauce for gel that lasts on natural nails! 3 weeks in and I've only had 2 small chips in my gel. Typically my gel would peel fully off in a weeks time even with prepping my nails by drying them with alcohol!

Great product

I'm thoroughly impressed with the Gelish Pro Bond! As a nail technician, I'm always on the lookout for products that deliver exceptional results, and this primer definitely exceeds expectations. The Pro Bond primer is incredibly effective at promoting adhesion between the nail plate and the gel polish. I've noticed a significant reduction in lifting and chipping, which gives me (and my clients!) great peace of mind. What I love most about this primer is that it's non-acid, which means it's gentler on the nail plate. It's also incredibly easy to apply and works seamlessly with Gelish polish. The fact that the Pro Bond primer helps to ensure the nail plate is clean and ready for polish application is a huge plus. It's a great added layer of security to know that the polish will adhere properly and last longer. Overall, I highly recommend the Gelish Pro Bond primer to anyone looking for a reliable and effective way to achieve long-lasting gel polish results.

セルフネイル歴3年です。このプライマーに出会ってから浮くこと知らずになりました。もちろんサンディングが隅々までできている事に越したことはないですが、セフルネイルでも3~4週ばっちり10本ついてて嬉しいです。大容量なので全然なくなりません。今後もこのプライマーしか使う気ありません！！
