1. Prep Nails: Clean, file, and push back cuticles.
2. Apply Bonder: Brush a thin, even layer of nail bonder onto each nail.
3. Dry: Let it air-dry for 30 seconds until tacky (no curing lamp needed).
4. Primer (Optional): Brush a thin layer of non-acid primer evenly over each nail.
5. Proceed: Apply your base coat, dip, or gel as usual over the bonder.
6. Finish: Continue with your nail enhancement process.
While both are used for nail preparation, they have distinct functions. A nail dehydrator is a solvent that removes excess moisture and natural oils from the nail plate, creating a dry surface. A nail bonder, like our DeEnterprises PH Plus, goes a step further. It is designed to balance the pH of the nail and create a slightly tacky, sticky surface that acts as a more powerful adhesive layer. This chemical preparation is critical for ensuring a secure, long-lasting bond between the natural nail and your acrylic, dip, or gel enhancement.
Using a PH balancer is the key to preventing common nail enhancement problems like lifting and chipping. The natural oils and moisture on the nail bed can break down the bond between the nail and the product, causing it to separate prematurely. DeEnterprises PH Plus Nail Bonder works by temporarily raising the nail’s pH, which slightly expands the nail plate’s surface. This allows the enhancement product to grip the nail more effectively, leading to superior adhesion and a significantly longer-lasting manicure.
DeEnterprises PH Plus Nail Bonder should be the very first step in your application process, after you have properly prepped the nail by filing, shaping, and pushing back the cuticles. It is applied to the clean, natural nail plate just before you apply your primer and acrylic, dip, or gel product. This ensures the nail is properly prepared for maximum adhesion. The product air dries in about 30 seconds and does not require a UV or LED lamp.
Yes, DeEnterprises PH Plus Nail Bonder is a versatile, universal product designed for use with many different nail enhancements. It is highly effective for use with acrylic nails, dip systems, and even gel polish applications. By creating an optimal foundation for adhesion, it helps to prevent chipping and peeling across all of these popular nail systems. It is the crucial first step to achieving professional, durable results regardless of your chosen product.
Lifting and chipping are the most common complaints for nail enhancements, and they are almost always caused by improper nail preparation. Our PH Plus Bonder directly addresses this issue by creating a perfect bond. The product’s unique formulation chemically prepares the nail plate by balancing its pH and removing residual oils and moisture. This creates a powerful, reliable connection between the nail and the enhancement, drastically reducing the chance of lifting at the cuticle or free edge. For the best results and to prevent lifting, it should be used in conjunction with a high-quality primer and acrylic system.
