In the realm of nail care and beautification, one recurring question perplexes both professionals and enthusiasts alike: Can nail primer serve as a suitable bonding layer for UV gel nails?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The practice of applying a nail primer pen on the natural nail, curing it, and subsequently applying the building gel has sparked curiosity regarding the necessity of a specifically formulated product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below Doug Schoon delves into the intricacies of nail primer usage in UV gel nail applications, shedding light on its effectiveness and the potential need for specialised formulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are several issues here, but I will try to address them all. First, I don\u2019t recommend primer pens, since these are multi-use devices that can become contaminated with nail oils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In my view, it is better to use a brush and bottle to be disposed of after use- not refill. Refilling allows oily contaminants to be transferred from the nail plate to the brush and into the product in the container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If UV gels require a nail bonder or primer layer which improves adhesion of the nail coating, then it should be used. Otherwise, I would not recommend this to be done. It is easy to see that too little adhesion causes lifting problems, but nail professionals often don\u2019t stop to think about the problems caused by TOO MUCH adhesion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O uso de um primer, quando n\u00e3o \u00e9 necess\u00e1rio, pode criar uma ades\u00e3o excessiva, o que torna a remo\u00e7\u00e3o mais dif\u00edcil e demorada e pode aumentar os riscos de danos \u00e0s unhas relacionados aos processos de remo\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Improper removal of nail coatings are top causes for nail damage. Many become impatient and use forceful techniques to more quickly remove the nail coatings. When this occurs and nail damage results, many explain away the damage by fooling customers into thinking their nails are just dry, when actually the nail surface has been damaged due to improper removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My main point is this, if the directions for the UV gel don’t \u201cspecifically\u201d mention the use of a nail primer, then a primer should NOT be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many times, a nail primer is used as a crutch to hide improper techniques. If the nail technician does a poor job preparing the nail plate, or they incorrectly apply the product, or they improperly cure with the wrong nail lamp, these can all result in lifting- premature loss of adhesion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In these cases, the solution is NOT to use primer, instead, the best solution is to correct the issues that are causing the nail coatings to lift. If the UV gel doesn\u2019t require the use of a primer in their directions or instructions, then don\u2019t use one or this can create excessive adhesion and the nail coatings will be much more difficult and time consuming to remove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many nail technicians will forcibly remove the nail coatings- which leads to nail plate thinning, pitting, splits, cracks, peeling and surface white spots. Instead of using a nail primer, it would be wiser to seek out the reason for the low adhesion and solve the problem. Maybe the client\u2019s nails need more careful cleaning and preparation. Or perhaps, the professional needs to invest in purchasing and using the correct nail lamp, the one designed for use with the UV gel. Or maybe they should take a manufacturer\u2019s class to learn the proper application techniques. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Os t\u00e9cnicos de unhas s\u00e3o respons\u00e1veis por suas a\u00e7\u00f5es e por qualquer dano causado por suas a\u00e7\u00f5es inadequadas. Criar seus pr\u00f3prios procedimentos e ignorar as instru\u00e7\u00f5es \u00e9 um motivo comum para problemas nas unhas. Em vez de usar primers para corrigir problemas criados pelo uso incorreto, os profissionais de unhas devem abordar e resolver o problema corretamente. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Allergic Reactions and Industry Challenges<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For instance, nail primer may improve adhesion when nail coatings aren\u2019t fully cured, but then nail technicians or clients could develop allergic reactions to improperly cured dusts. The nail technician is not likely to realize they\u2019re improperly curing, so they won\u2019t take any steps to solve the real problem. Don\u2019t make up your own directions\/instructions. This is one of the greatest challenges facing the nail industry and a leading reason why most women are afraid of nail salon services and refuse to go to salons. Improper use of nail coatings, is the main reason why the nail industry isn\u2019t growing and attracting more customers.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the realm of nail care and beautification, one recurring question perplexes both professionals and enthusiasts alike: Can nail primer serve as a suitable bonding layer for UV gel nails?
