description
The step you don't want to skip. The prepper clears the last traces of grease from the nail plate and prepares it, so your base has something real to hold on to: the difference between a manicure that lifts and one that lasts. Especially worth it for oily nail types, or anyone whose gel polish never seems to stay put. It air dries in seconds. No lamp needed.
This is step 01, where every manicure starts.
Made in Belgium. 10 ml.
application
Prep first: cleanse, push back your cuticles, shape and buff. Degrease with cleaner on a lint-free wipe, then apply a thin layer of prepper to the nail plate, avoiding the skin. Push the product into the nail surface and let it air dry for a few seconds before your base coat.

frequently asked questions
What does the prepper do?
It degreases and prepares the nail plate so your base has something real to hold on to. One dose per nail, worked in with the thin brush, and the bond gets measurably stronger: it's the difference between a manicure that lifts and one that lasts.
Can I skip the prepper?
You can, but if your manicures lift early, this is almost always the missing step. For oily nail types it's non-negotiable: grease is what gel polish struggles with most, and the prepper is what deals with it.
My nails look whitish after the prepper. Is that normal?
Yes, completely. The slightly whitish look means the nail plate is degreased and ready: exactly what your base wants to land on. Continue with step 02 as normal.
Does the prepper go under the lamp?
No. The prepper air dries in seconds, no lamp needed. Apply it, give it a moment, and move straight on to your base.
What's the difference between the prepper and the cleaner?
The cleaner cleanses: grease, dust and residue off the surface. The prepper prepares the nail plate so the base bonds stronger. First clean, then prep, then base: they're teammates, not substitutes.
Is the prepper a primer?
It does the job most people buy a primer for, but it is not one. The prepper is a dehydrator: it clears the last grease and moisture off the nail plate so your base has something real to hold on to. A primer works differently, with an acid or an adhesion promoter that bonds chemically. The prepper contains neither, which is why it suits every nail type and why nothing else goes between prep and base. Apply it, let it air dry for a few seconds, then your base coat.
