FAQs

What is the difference between acid-free primer and traditional acidic primers?

Acid-free primers are formulated to be gentler on the natural nail, minimizing the risk of damage, dehydration, or irritation. Traditional acidic primers use strong acids to etch the nail surface for maximum adhesion, which can be more damaging over time.

How long does the Mylee Acid-Free Primer typically last?

When stored correctly and used as directed, a 15ml bottle can last for many applications, typically several months depending on frequency of use.

Do I need to use a UV/LED lamp after applying the primer?

No, the Mylee Acid-Free Primer is designed to air dry. It is the subsequent gel polish layers (base coat, color, top coat) that require curing under a UV/LED lamp.

Can I use this primer with regular nail polish?

This primer is specifically formulated for gel polish applications to create a strong bond for UV/LED cured products. It is not intended for use with standard air-drying nail polishes.

How should I store the Mylee Acid-Free Primer?

Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to maintain product quality and prevent evaporation.

What should I do if the primer gets on my skin?

Gently wipe off any excess primer from the skin immediately with a lint-free wipe. If irritation occurs, wash the affected area with soap and water.

Troubleshooting

Gel polish is lifting prematurely

Ensure nails were thoroughly cleaned and de-oiled before primer application. Apply a thin, even layer of primer and allow it to air dry fully. Check that the primer is applied correctly to the nail plate and not the skin or cuticle.

Primer appears streaky or uneven

Use a light hand and apply a single, thin coat. Avoid over-brushing. Allow the thin layer to air dry naturally; do not try to spread it once it starts to tack up.

Nail bed feels sensitive after application

While acid-free, some individuals may have unique sensitivities. Ensure primer is not applied to broken or damaged skin. If sensitivity persists, discontinue use.

Pros and Cons

  • Helps prevent common issues like nail lifting and chipping.
  • Contributes to a smoother, more durable, and professional-looking finish.
  • Suitable for home users aiming for salon-quality results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure nails are clean, dry, and free from oils or previous product residue before application. Apply a thin, even layer of the Mylee Acid-Free Primer to the natural nail plate, avoiding the cuticles and skin. Allow it to air dry completely (usually 30-60 seconds) until a slightly tacky surface appears.

Compatibility: This primer is designed to work effectively with most gel polish systems. For optimal results, it is recommended to use it as part of a complete Mylee gel system, including base coat, color, and top coat.

Care: Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is securely closed after each use to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity. Regularly check the brush for any hardened product and clean if necessary.
