What is nail primer?

Nail primer is a liquid formula that is applied to the nails before applying nail polish or artificial nails. It helps to create a smooth surface for nail polish to adhere to and can also help to prevent chipping and peeling.

Nail primer typically contains ingredients such as alcohol or other solvents that help to remove any oils or residue from the nail bed, as well as bonding agents that help the nail polish adhere better to the nail.

Using a nail primer can help to extend the wear of your nail polish, especially if you have oily or weak nails. It can also help to prevent staining of the nails from dark or highly-pigmented nail polish colors.

Nail primers come in different formulations, including traditional liquid formulas, as well as gel and spray-on primers. It is important to follow the directions on the product packaging for the best results.

Overall, nail primer can be a helpful step in your nail care routine to ensure a longer-lasting and more polished manicure.
