There is no alternative for this product however it is completely optional. If you have naturally dry nail beds, your mani will last longerthan someone who has naturally oily nail beds. That is why, youshould use theStrong Hold Bond/primerif you have oily nail beds, because it will help make your mani last longer.

If you are using Strong Hold Bond in your mani routine, it should be applied after the Dehydrator. Ensure you apply it sparingly as too much product will decrease its adhesive effects.

Our Strong Hold Bond temporarily changes PH level of your natural nails. The change in PH helps the bond act like a double sided adhesive. This helps prevent premature lifting. Ensure you prime one hand at a time as the Strong Hold Bond loses itseffectiveness after about 20 minutes once the PH level returns back to normal.
