Preventing Gel Nail Lifting: Dehydrator vs. Bonder & Primer Guide

Question
My GEL nails always lift. So, I've been looking into getting a dehydrator and a bonder.
Do I need both for gel nails?
I have acrylic primer, but is that good to use under gels?
I'm particularly looking at getting the EZ Flow EZ BOND nail dehydrator and thought to follow that up with BRISA Liquid bonder for gel nails. Does anyone know about these two products?
I've also been recommended OPI BondAid. BAsically, I'm seeking answers as to whether I need the EZ BOND dehydrator as well as a bonder. If so, BRISA Liquid bonder is supposed to be especialy for Gel Nails. Is OPI Bond Aid as good?

Also, I have pure acetone, should I just use that instead of the dehydrator or as well as.

I'll admit I do have quite overproductive sweat glands, but I'm hoping the preparing/application process is my problem not my hormones or skin as I can't do much about them!  

Thanks for any and all help

Answer
My first recommendation is to use the primer and/or bonder that is made for the gel system you use.  Every item in a particular product line is chemically designed to work together, so you will get the best results.  So, if you are using OPI's gel system, use their primer/bonder.  If you're using CND's Brisa system, use their bonder.  Some gel systems don't require the use of primer, others do.  Following the manufacturer's guidelines for use is a MUST.  This also applies to any dehydrator you use (although I believe pure acetone works pretty well with most products.  You should ask the manufacturer to be sure.).  Also note that primers for liquid and powder systems may not be appropriate for use with gel systems.  Again, you'll need to check with the manufacturer.

Now, as far as the lifting goes, if you have excessively sweaty hands/palms, this probably affects the adhesion of the product.  You'd need to use the dehydrator two or three times to make sure the nail plate stays chalky-looking right before applying the product.  You also want to be very careful to remove ALL of the non-living tissue from the nail plate.  A good cuticle remover and curette or pusher will work well for this step.  Lastly, make sure any dust or debris is removed from the nail plate--this is usually accomplished with the cleansing/dehydrating step.

I hope this helps!  Let me know how you do, and if you need any clarification, feel free to follow up!
