Ultrabond is a manicure tool that does not contain acid in its composition.

What is the difference from a primer?
Acid primers, which are used during the building procedure, are able to degrease, disinfect, destroy fungi, strengthen adhesion, and also prevent the formation of cracks and splits. The basis of such a tool is methacrylic acid, which is no more harmful than acetone and lauryl sulfate. Acid primer can cause irritation of the mucous membranes, so when working, use glasses or a mask.
In turn, ultrabond is based on an ester of acetic acid, therefore it is considered a more gentle means than the previous one. It is best used for working with dry and brittle nails.
In the acid primer, as in the ultra-bond, there are unsafe compounds, but in an acid-free agent they are characterized by low volatility, therefore, they are less harmful to human health. Ultrabond also dries the nail plates less.
How to apply?
The primer is a small bottle filled with liquid, on which the result of the procedure depends, which is performed on the nails.
For the perfect manicure, a home master or professional should be able to use primers correctly. Instructions for use of the substance are as described below.
- Hands should be steamed, and the cuticle should be moved away using an orange stick.
- Using a grinding file, it is necessary to polish the nails so that a slight roughness appears.
- The nail plate must be coated with a dehydrator, degreased or disinfected. After the nails have dried, you can proceed to the following procedures.
