Nail Prep Fluids, Gel Polish Removers & PMU Auxiliary Fluids

Nail prep fluids are the supporting liquids used before, during, and after nail services to prepare the nail surface, remove product, and maintain hygiene at the workstation. This collection covers the full range of professional auxiliary fluids for nail services and PMU/tattoo work: nail primers, dehydrators, degreasers, gel polish removers, cuticle removers, and nail cleansers, alongside PMU transfer gels and sprays, hemostatic agents, tattoo care products, and aftercare fluids.

Products are suited to licensed nail technicians, PMU artists, tattoo artists, and salon owners who need reliable, professional-grade auxiliary fluids for daily client services. The collection includes both small-format products for individual use and larger 200–500 ml formats suited to high-volume salon use.

Types of Auxiliary Fluids in This Collection

The collection is divided into two professional disciplines: nail service fluids and PMU/tattoo auxiliary fluids. Each covers distinct product types used in their respective workflows.

Nail Prep Fluids and Removers

Nail prep fluids are used to prepare the natural nail surface before gel polish, builder gel, or acrylic application, and to remove product at the end of the service. The collection covers five functional types.

• Acid-free primers (Ultrabond) — applied to the natural nail after dehydration to improve adhesion of gel base coat or builder gel without etching the nail plate. Available from Kira Nails (6 ml), Naomi/Jerden PROFF (12 ml), Edlen (9 ml), Biblioteka (10 ml), Nails of the Day (10 ml), Touch (13 ml), and Moon Full 2-in-1 Ultrabond Dehydrator (8 ml). Acid-free primers are a distinct formulation from acid primers; state only the formulation fact.
• Dehydrators — applied to the nail plate before primer to remove moisture and oils, improving adhesion. Available from Naomi/Jerden PROFF (15 ml), Edlen (9 ml), Biblioteka (10 ml), Nails of the Day (10 ml and 200 ml), and Touch (15 ml). The Nails of the Day 200 ml dehydrator is labeled antibacterial and antifungal — state only the formulation fact.
• Degreasers, cleansers, and nail prep 3-in-1 — used to cleanse the nail surface, remove the sticky inhibition layer from gel, and prepare the nail for service. Kira Nails 3-in-1 (250 ml) combines tack remover, disinfectant, and degreaser. Jerden PROFF Nail Prep 3-in-1 (200 ml, 500 ml) and Gel Cleanser (200 ml, 500 ml) cover degreasing and sticky layer removal. SAGA Professional Nail Prep 3-in-1 (200 ml, 500 ml) and Clean Content Hand Foam (150 ml) cover prep and hand hygiene. Edlen Prep & Finish Nail Cleanser Watermelon (250 ml), Biblioteka CLEAN CARE Micellar Foam COFFITON (150 ml), and Touch Fresher Nail Fresher (300 ml) are additional cleanser options.
• Gel polish and artificial nail removers — used to dissolve and remove gel polish, gel, and artificial coatings. Jerden PROFF offers the widest remover range: scented gel polish removers in Mango & Peach, Strawberry with Cream, Blackberry, Wild Berry, Vitamins, and Banana (200 ml and 500 ml each), plus an Acetone-Free Nail Polish Remover in Lime & Mint (200 ml, 500 ml) and an Artificial Nail & Tip Remover for acrylic and artificial coatings (200 ml, 500 ml). Kira Nails Remover for Gel and Gel Polish (250 ml) and Touch Gel Remover (50 ml) are additional options.
• Cuticle removers — applied to the cuticle area to soften and loosen cuticle tissue before manicure. Edlen Water Cuticle Remover (30 ml), Nails of the Day Cuticle Remover Urea 10% (60 ml), and Touch Alkaline Cuticle Remover (30 ml) cover different formula types: water-based, urea-based, and alkaline. Touch Talc Before Powder (50 g) is a talc product used before powder application in nail services.

For a complete nail prep setup, stocking a dehydrator, an acid-free primer, a 3-in-1 nail prep cleanser, a gel polish remover, and a cuticle remover covers the core auxiliary fluid requirements for most gel nail service menus.

PMU and Tattoo Auxiliary Fluids

PMU and tattoo auxiliary fluids are used during and after permanent makeup and tattoo procedures to transfer stencil designs, control bleeding, enhance contrast, and support healing.

• Transfer gels and sprays — used to transfer stencil designs to the skin before PMU or tattoo procedures. Vesper Tattoo Transfer Solution (50 ml, 250 ml) is a transfer gel. Mark Ecopharm offers Transfer Gel (50 ml, 150 ml) and Transfer Spray (50 ml, 150 ml) — the spray format suits technicians who prefer a spray application over a gel. Klever Transfer Gel Rune is available in 5 ml, 50 ml, and 250 ml, plus a Coconut variant (50 ml). Dr. Gritz Transfer Gel (75 ml, 200 ml) is an additional transfer gel option.
• Transfer removers — used to remove stencil transfer residue from the skin after the design is applied. Vesper Tattoo Transfer Remover (35 ml, 200 ml) and Dr. Gritz Transfer Drawing Remover (50 ml, 170 ml) are the options in this collection.
• Hemostatic agents — Vesper Tattoo NO:BLOOD (35 ml, 200 ml) is a hemostatic agent used during PMU and tattoo procedures to control minor bleeding and lymph fluid. Available in two sizes for workstation and travel use.
• Tattoo and PMU care products — used during and after procedures to support the skin. Vesper Tattoo Butter Oil in Grapefruit & Bergamot and Papaya (50 ml and 200 ml each) and Klever Bergamot Tattoo Butter (50 ml) are oil-based care products. Vesper Tattoo Insta Shine (250 ml) is a gel for enhancing tattoo contrast during the procedure. Vesper Tattoo SPF50+ Sun Shield Stick (15 ml, 50 ml) is a sun protection product for use after PMU healing. Klever Liquid Glass (50 ml) and Klever Aloe Vera Gel (2 ml) are additional PMU care products.

For a complete PMU auxiliary fluid setup, stocking a transfer gel, a transfer remover, a hemostatic agent, and a post-procedure care product covers the core auxiliary fluid requirements for most PMU service workflows.

How to Choose Auxiliary Fluids

Selecting the right auxiliary fluid depends on the service type, the step in the workflow, and the preferred format.

• Nail prep sequence — dehydrator is applied first, followed by acid-free primer, then base coat. Select a dehydrator and primer from the same brand where possible to ensure compatibility. 3-in-1 prep products combine degreasing and cleansing in a single step.
• Gel polish remover format — scented removers (Jerden PROFF fruit range) suit salons where client experience is a priority. Acetone-free removers suit clients who prefer a gentler removal formula. The Artificial Nail & Tip Remover is specifically formulated for acrylic and artificial coatings rather than gel polish.
• Cuticle remover formula — water-based (Edlen), urea-based (Nails of the Day 10%), and alkaline (Touch) cuticle removers have different working mechanisms. Select based on the technician's training and the client's cuticle condition. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for application time.
• PMU transfer format — transfer gels suit precise stencil application. Transfer sprays (Mark Ecopharm) suit technicians who prefer a spray application. Select the size based on service volume: small formats (5–50 ml) suit individual use; larger formats (150–250 ml) suit high-volume studios.
• Size — small formats (6–15 ml for primers and dehydrators) suit individual technician use. Large formats (200–500 ml for removers and cleansers) suit high-volume salons and reduce per-service cost.

Always verify compatibility between nail prep fluids and the specific gel or builder gel products being used, as adhesion requirements vary by brand and formula.
