It acts as a base-layer prep that pairs especially well with Beetles Protein Dehydrator but works with builder gel, poly gel, traditional gel polish and acrylic systems. The acid- and HEMA-free composition aims to reduce irritation for sensitive skin while delivering a resilient bond that minimizes lifting and peeling when applied correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this primer improve manicure longevity?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeetles Protein Nail Primer creates a tack-free, adherent surface by reinforcing the connection between natural nail and enhancement. The keratin-enriched formula helps the primer bond more reliably to compromised or dehydrated nails, reducing edge lifting and premature separation.
