Here’s How to Make the Most of It! Want to get the best out of the Kokoist Bond Duo? Here’s how we recommend using it at GELLIPOP: Push back cuticles and do your standard prep. Apply Bond Duo I sparingly and let it dry (no curing needed). Apply a thin layer of Bond Duo II. Cure for 30 seconds (LED). Continue your gel application like usual. Pro tip: Don’t flood the cuticle or overwork the product — thin and even is the goal FAQs 1. Do I need both parts of the duo? Yes! Both Bond Duo I and II are formulated to work together. Skipping one weakens the bond. 2. Can I use it with other brands? Absolutely. It plays well with most gel systems, though results may vary depending on your products. 3. Is it beginner-friendly? Totally! It's easy to apply, and there’s no harsh odor or aggressive prep needed. 4. How long does it last? Clients report retention of 3-4 weeks with no lifting when properly applied. 5. Is it safe on natural nails? Yes, it’s acid-free and gentle — perfect for protecting the nail plate. At GELLIPOP, we’re always testing and curating the best of the best — and the Platinum Bond Duo made the cut for a reason. If you’re tired of redoing nails or dealing with client complaints, this duo is your fix. Pair it with the Kokoist round brush for flawless application, and you’ll wonder how you ever worked without it.
