IBD PRIMER Stick is a pre-treatment product used in nail enhancement application. It is designed to prepare the natural nail surface for better adhesion of nail enhancement products like gel polish, acrylic, or dip powder.

Some key details about the IBD PRIMER Stick 0.5 oz:

• Size: 0.5 ounces (14.8 ml)
• Purpose: Prepares the natural nail for nail enhancement application
• Helps improve adhesion and longevity of nail enhancements
• Helps remove oil, debris, and shine from the natural nail
• Comes in a convenient stick applicator for easy, mess-free application
• Can be used before applying gel polish, acrylic, dip powder, or other nail enhancements
• Helps the nail enhancement product bond securely to the natural nail

The primer stick format allows for targeted, precise application just on the nail area, avoiding the surrounding skin. It dries quickly and creates a clean, dehydrated surface for the nail enhancement to adhere properly.

How to Apply the IBD PRIMER Stick:

1. Start with clean, dry nails. Ensure there is no oil, lotion, or debris on the nail surface.

2. Gently buff the nail surface lightly to remove any shine or uneven texture. This will help the primer adhere better.

3. Take the IBD PRIMER Stick and apply it directly to the entire surface of the natural nail. Focus on covering the nail plate completely, all the way to the cuticle area.

4. Use light, even strokes to spread the primer across the nail. Make sure to get the primer into the nail folds and cuticle area as well.

5. Allow the primer to dry completely, which should only take 30-60 seconds. You'll know it's dry when the surface looks matte and no longer shiny.

6. Once dry, you can proceed with applying your desired nail enhancement product (gel polish, acrylic, dip powder, etc.) following the manufacturer's instructions.

7. The primed nail surface will provide a optimal foundation for the nail enhancement to adhere securely and last longer.

8. Reapply the primer as needed, such as during fills or when preparing the nail for a new application.

The recommended wait time between applying the IBD PRIMER Stick and then applying the nail enhancement product is:

Wait 30-60 seconds

This brief wait time allows the primer to fully dry and become tacky on the nail surface. The tackiness of the primed nail is what helps create the optimal adhesion for the nail enhancement product.

If you apply the nail product too soon, before the primer is fully dry, the adhesion may not be as strong. On the other hand, waiting too long can also reduce the effectiveness of the primer.

So the sweet spot is to wait 30-60 seconds after applying the IBD PRIMER Stick before you proceed with your gel polish, acrylic, dip powder, or other nail enhancement application.

This short wait time ensures the primer has properly prepared the nail for the best possible adhesion and longevity of the nail enhancement product. Just be sure not to skip this crucial waiting period.
