Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) – Used as a nail plate cleanser and for the removal of the ‘inhibition layer’ on many UV cured coatings. For an efficient nail plate cleanser a mix of IPA and acetone is ideal. They each remove different types of oils and temporarily dehydrate the surface of the nail plate in readiness for the application of a coating.
