In My Prime Nail Primer

Want better grip and easier removal? This little step makes a big difference.

Our primer smooths your nail surface for better adhesion, helps the strips last longer, and reduces potential damage during removal. It dries to a matte finish in 60 seconds.

Bonus: It also doubles as a nail strengthener—great for keeping your nails healthy between sets.

A blend of biotin, hydrolyzed keratin, hydrolyzed silk, and panthenol helps condition the nail surface, so your nails feel less brittle and better protected between manis.

At the same time, its thin, fast-drying base layer creates a smooth canvas that helps your semi-cured gel strips adhere more evenly and wear longer.

By adding this one step before your strips, you’re:

• Boosting adhesion for a longer-lasting set

• Helping protect your natural nails by creating a buffer layer

• Supporting stronger-feeling nails with every application

Use it as a base whenever you apply Kijibae strips—especially if your nails are prone to peeling, bending, or feeling fragile after repeated manis.

Step 1: Select

Start with clean, dry nails for the smoothest base. Use the alcohol pad from your Kijibae kit to remove any oils or residue.

Kijibae Tip: Swipe on In My Prime Nail Primer before you start for longer-lasting wear—just let it dry for 30–60 seconds.

Step 2: Apply

Choose the semi-cured gel strip that best matches your nail size and peel it off the sheet. Place it just above your cuticle line and smooth it down from base to tip.

Kijibae Tip: If you’re between sizes, go smaller for a cleaner, more seamless fit.

Step 3: Trim

Clip or file the strip to match your nail length. You can go short and chic or keep it long and bold—your mani, your vibe.

Step 4: Cure

Pop each nail under the Cure Me UV LED Lamp for 60 seconds to set the gel.

Kijibae Tip: For extra shine and salon-level finish, apply our Seal The Deal UV Gel Top Coat and cure for another 60 seconds. Then snap a pic and tag us @shopkijibae—we love seeing your badass nails.

Step 1: Melt It Away

No stress, no mess—just easy removal. Add 2 drops of Strip Me Away Remover near your cuticles and gently rub it in. Let it sit for 10-15 seconds while it works its magic.

Step 2: Lift & Let Go

Grab the wooden stick from the package (or your fave cuticle pusher) and gently lift the edges of the gel strip — no tugging needed.

Step 3: Patience, Not Pressure

Still feeling some resistance? No worries—just repeat steps 1 and 2. Never force it (seriously, don’t). Give your nails some love by finishing with your go-to cuticle oil.
