About Prep Essential

Nail prep essentials and cuticle oils

These are the small consumables that bracket a service — what you reach for before color goes on, and again right before the client stands up. The page runs across vendors: SEN, La Palm, Fantasy Files and iNAIL SUPPLY's own items are grouped by the job they do rather than by brand, so you can restock a whole category in one pass.

Cuticle oil in two formats

SEN SPA cuticle oil is listed as a pen and as a 0.5 oz bottle, and the difference is mostly where each one lives. The pen rides in an apron pocket and is easy to hand across at the register as a take-home add-on; the bottle stays at the station and gets used during the service. The AREE Essential Oil Roll On in 0.34 oz is the same portable idea in a roll-on. There is more on the finishing step in our cuticle care guide.

Adhesives and the rest of the drawer

ONE SECOND Nail Glue is listed in a 50-pack, which is the format to order if tips and repairs are a regular part of your week — a multipack keeps a spare in every station drawer instead of one tube making the rounds. Polish thinner is here too, for bottles that have thickened on the shelf. Follow the manufacturer's SDS and your state board's rules for storing and handling any salon liquid.
