Users generally praise the Aprés Gel-X Tip Primer for its ability to chemically etch tips without creating dust, though some experienced users report better retention with traditional mechanical filing.

😊

The best part about this Gel-X prep is that it leaves absolutely no dust, and it's not just made with acetone, so you know it's not going to damage the structure of the tip.

👎

Once I switched to sanding instead of this my retention got better 😭😭

😊

By scrubbing in gel X-Prep, you can chemically etch the gel X-Tip to create a nice tacky layer on the underside of the gel X-Tip to grip onto the gel.

💬

I just got the tip primer for my press ons and honestly idk what I expected but idk if its better than hand filing. I just hate hand etching each nail.
