OPI Bond-Aid is a pH balancing agent: it brings the surface of the natural nail to the proper pH so that what goes on next adheres properly. OPI calls it an essential first step in chemical preparation, for use before gels, acrylics, nail adhesives, tips, wraps, base coats and nail lacquer. This is the 13 mL (0.44 fl oz) bottle.

- Flammable. Keep away from heat and flame and close the bottle after use.
- For professional use. Keep out of reach of children.
