Which substances are used to increase adhesion to the natural nail plate?

Bonding gels are specifically formulated to enhance adhesion to the natural nail plate. These gels contain compounds that create a strong bond between the nail and any enhancements, such as gel or acrylic products. The structure of bonding gels allows them to adhere effectively by penetrating the surface of the natural nail, ensuring that the artificial products applied over them do not lift or separate easily over time.

Additionally, bonding gels typically have a lower viscosity, which helps them spread evenly across the nail surface, increasing the contact area and ultimately improving adhesion. This is crucial in nail procedures to ensure the longevity and durability of manicures or nail enhancements.

While building gels and polymer powders contribute to the overall structure and appearance of the nail enhancement, they do not specifically focus on the adhesion process. Nail adhesive serves a similar function but is generally used for attaching artificial nails, tips, or other enhancements rather than improving adhesion between layers of nail products.
