What is ph bond for nails

PH Bond is used to balance the natural nail to a neutral balance, removing any surface oils. Gelish pH Bond is an essential step in your nail preparation prior to a Gelish application. It dehydrates the nail plate to ensure that no oils are present that could lead to the peeling of the gel from the nail bed.

HOW TO USE

Apply Gelish PH Bond to the nail plate in a very thin coat.

THIS PRODUCT

BRAND

There is no surprise that bonders, primers and dehydrators are confusing. All three products aid in one common goal – increasing adhesion to the natural nail. What most people don’t realize is the similarity stops there. Each product differs both chemically and in the way it actually promotes adhesion.

Bonders

Products like PH Plus or OPI’s Bond Aid® are a bit more universal. They are solvent based formulations used to remove oils and raise the ph of the natural nail. Raising the PH of the natural nail occurs because of their basic chemistry. This allows many different nail enhancements to stick better. Our bonder is called PH Plus. If you have an acrylic customer that lifts even with primer, PH plus should be applied prior to primer. If you are just polishing natural nails, a quick wipe with PH Plus helps prevent chipping. Basically, anything a nail technician needs to adhere better, PH Plus is a good first step.

When should you be using a bonder?

Before nail polish
Before gel polish
Before UV/LED Gels
Bonders can be used with any nail enhancement to help promote adhesion.
Acrylics: Before primer on clients who are prone to lifting.

Primers

Primers could conceivably be considered a bonder. We separate the two because 1) Both products promote adhesion differently 2) Primers and bonders are not interchangeable. Acrylics for example almost always require a primer, a bonder shouldn’t be used as an alternative. Primer (whether acid or not) serve one primary purpose: Preparing the nail bed for acrylics. Chemically they are much more corrosive to the natural nail. The primary function of primer is to bond the acrylic to the nail plate much like the roots of a tree to the ground. Non-acid primers do have a slight corrosive property, but are far less dangerous to the skin than acid based primers. In the event of a spill, non-acid primers (Magic Bond) are far less likely to cause a chemical burn to the skin. Primer is only applied to the natural nail.

When should you be using a Primer?

Always before applying acrylics. (Primer is optional for Nomma Plus)
Before UV/LED Gels
Pro Tip: Dab the free edge of the natural nail with a non-acid primer like Magic Bond to prevent Gel Polishes from peeling on even the most stubborn of clients.

Dehydrators

Dehydrators, similar to bonders are pretty universal. They prepare the natural nail surface with the end goal of better adhesion. Dehydrator works on the premise that it dissolves the oils in the nail allowing for a more desirable nail surface. We used to formulate Dehydrator, but the benefits are significantly less than PH Plus (Bonder) or our Magic Bond Primer. Our Dehydrator was officially discontinued from future production in 2017.

When should you be using a Dehydrator?

Before nail polish
Before gel polish
Before UV/LED Gels
Dehydrator can be used with any nail enhancement to help promote adhesion.
Acrylics: Before primer on clients who are prone to lifting.

All three of these products could be used together. Dehydrator would go on first and remove the oils, bonder would be used second to raise the PH level of the natural nail, and primer would be used third to help attach the enhancement to the nail.

Our Recommendation:

You should always have a primer. Primer is an important step in completing a proper set of acrylic nails. You don’t need both a bonder and a dehydrator, but you definitely need one. We definitely recommend PH Plus over dehydrator because it promotes adhesion a better than Dehydrators.
