Product Features: * Pre-primer (oil remover) * Just apply it once before applying your nails to improve the durability of your nails and the adhesion of your gel nails * Brush type Soft rose scent: The smooth liquid has a gentle rose scent. It dried immediately after application! It dries quickly, so it's good that you can move on to the next step easily. Polish nails are easy and convenient, but they can wear off easily. I'm very happy that using the pre-primer makes my nails last longer than usual. The finish also has a glossy feel. Recommended for those who like to do their own nails.
I buy this as a trial because I do my own nails every week. It doesn't dramatically improve my condition just by applying it, but it's helpful because I often forget to wipe and clean my nails before getting my nails done. I can recommend this to people who are particular about their nails, but I don't think it's necessary for people who don't put that much effort into their nails. It suits me, so I give it 5 stars.
I often do my nails after body care and before going to bed, so I use this to prevent any oils from creams left on my hands from affecting them. It's not amazingly effective, but I think my nails last longer with both polish and gel than when I don't use this. The rose scent is soothing.
I heard that it would make nail polish less likely to peel off, so I bought a pre-primer for the first time. The smell isn't too strong and it's easy to apply. I quickly applied it to all my fingers and then applied my nail polish in order. It seems like the nail polish spreads more easily than usual. It feels like it lasts a little longer, but it's not that great, so it's a nice product to have.
I bought this because I use other nail artist series. It blends in quickly when you apply it to your nails and has a nice rose scent. I didn't notice much difference between using this and not using it. But I'm going to keep using it because it's better than nothing.
