Which option to choose
Use Bond-Aid for OPI gel services. It is not a full primer, so builder gel and other high-adhesion work calls for a true bond or primer instead. Need a different bottle? See the 13 mL size.
Storing it
Keep the cap tight, since the liquid evaporates, and store it upright away from heat and direct sun.
More to pair with it: Super Base Base Coat, OPI Intelli-Gel shades and OPI base and top coats.
