Pro Tip for Professionals:
Use a lint-free wipe
Helps prevent fibres and residue from being left on the natural nail after cleansing and dehydration.
Avoid touching the nail plate
After applying Nail Prep, avoid touching the prepared surface with your fingers, as this can transfer oils back onto the nail.
Follow with the correct preparation products
Once the Nail Prep has fully evaporated, continue with the primer or base product recommended for your chosen gel, hybrid or acrylic system.

What is Silcare Nail Prep Dehydrator & Degreaser?
Silcare Nail Prep is an acid-free nail dehydrator and degreaser used to prepare the natural nail before applying gel, hybrid, BIAB or acrylic products. It helps remove surface oils and excess moisture, leaving the nail clean and dry for the next step of the application.
When should I use Nail Prep?
Apply Nail Prep after the natural nail has been shaped, prepared and cleansed, and before applying your nail products. Allow it to evaporate completely before continuing with primer, base coat or your chosen nail system.

Yes. Silcare Nail Prep can be used as part of the preparation process before gel, hybrid, BIAB and acrylic nail applications. Always follow the application instructions for your specific nail system.
Is Silcare Nail Prep acid-free?
Yes. Silcare Nail Prep has an acid-free formula, making it a suitable choice for natural nail preparation when you want to remove surface oils and moisture without using an acid-based prep product.

We use this in our salon for gel and BIAB services and have been really happy with the quality. It works just as we need a nail prep to work, and the price is very reasonable considering how much we use in the salon.

I was looking for a reliable nail dehydrator and degreaser that we could use regularly without spending a fortune. The quality has been really good, it dries quickly and a little goes a long way. Great value for a busy salon.

I wasn't familiar with Silcare before trying this, but I'm impressed with the quality. It does exactly what I need before my gel manicures and the price is much better than some of the other products I've used.

I bought this for doing my BIAB nails at home and I'm very happy with it. It feels like a professional-quality product but doesn't cost a lot, and it dries quickly after application.

I've tried a few different nail prep products, and this one has been great for the price. It dries quickly, is easy to apply and leaves my nails feeling clean and ready for gel application. Really good value for a professional-quality product.
