How much primer is generally recommended for application?

The recommendation of applying one coat of primer is based on the role primer plays in nail preparation for subsequent products, such as enhancements or polish. A single coat provides an effective barrier that improves the adhesion of products to the natural nail surface, which is essential for longevity and preventing lifting.

Applying too little primer may result in inadequate adhesion, leading to premature lifting or chipping of the enhancements. In contrast, using multiple coats or an excessive amount can lead to issues such as over-saturation, which can impair the performance of the products applied over it, not to mention potentially causing damage to the natural nail.

Therefore, one coat strikes an ideal balance, providing the necessary adhesion without compromising nail health or the performance of the products used afterward. This concise application technique is seen as both efficient and effective in professional nail care practices, aligning with industry standards.
