Hard Gel

My go to when applying my hard gel. Also comes with a liner brush on the end to get the sides of the nail for precision. Great for evening out application for a seamless finish.

If you have oily nail beds or your nails tend to lift more than normal. Gently applying before hard gel for lasting results. I always get 3 or more weeks of retention.

For no acid primers, this is another go to for my hard gel nails. Very small bottle but it gets the job done and lasts a very long time. Great for acrylic as well.
