How does this primer improve gel polish wear?

Orly GelFX primer increases the bond between the natural nail and gel product, decreasing common causes of premature lifting. By creating a properly prepped surface, the primer helps the gel adhere more consistently across the nail plate.

What are the active ingredients and their benefits?

This primer is enriched with vitamins to protect and support the nail while promoting a smooth bond. The ingredients focus on condition and shine rather than medicinal treatment.

How should I apply Orly GelFX primer for best results?

For consistent adhesion, apply the primer after proper nail prep—clean, dehydrate and lightly buff. Use a thin, even coat; avoid over-application and cap the free edge before curing according to your gel system's instructions.
