Non Acid Primer: Optima

HEMA-free UV nail primer—prevents lifting, forms a watertight bond, and cures under LED/UV. No air-dry needed, no MEK, no over-filing. Strong adhesion for gel nails and acrylics. Salon-proven results.

$27.00

Cure it. Trust it. Move on.

Crosslinked and locked in—Optima UV Primer forms a densely linked, locked-in chemical bond without unnecessary damage. Optima creates a watertight bond without air-drying variables—no lifting, no doubts.

Formulated without HEMA or MEK, it delivers high-quality adhesion without shortcuts. Because proper formulation matters—when used correctly, it maximizes adhesion while minimizing sensitization.

If a primer tells you to file the nail down like wood, it’s working against you. The top 10% of the nail is the only part that can hold product—etching past that is asking for lifting. Traditional primers force aggressive filing to compensate for weak chemistry.

Strong adhesion starts with the right chemistry—not over-filing. Focus on the next set, not the last one.

Curious in our professional lamp and 30 seconds. 

Q&A

Q1: What is UV primer?
A: It’s a UV-cure primer that bonds gel to the nail instantly—no air-dry step, no timing variables. Just cure it and you’re locked in.

Q2: Why use a HEMA-free primer?
A: HEMA and MEK can irritate or sensitize. Our primer is formulated without them—tough on lifting, easy on the skin.

Q3: Do I need to file before using UV primer?
A: No. If they’re filing harshly, that’s their problem. You need only lightly buff the nail—not scrape it down. Over‑filing causes lifting—it’s chemistry, not coercion.

Q4: Does UV primer need to air dry?
A: Nope. UV primer cures under your lamp—no waiting, no dust, no variables. Just apply, cure, and go. No extra steps, no guesswork.
