MIRAI-α

“The Science of Beauty Begins
at Your Fingertips.”

For beginners and professionals alike. A revolutionary base, designed to be kind to your skin and the environment — beyond gender, beyond borders.

Gel nails have evolved beyond fashion alone. They are embraced worldwide by people of all ages and genders—not only as a form of self-expression, but also to protect the fingertips of craftsmen, athletes, and musicians, and to maintain a well-groomed appearance. However, the removal process remains a significant challenge. Conventional gel removal often involves cutting away portions of the natural nail with nippers, filing the surface with electric machines, or soaking nails in remover for extended periods. These processes can cause substantial damage—not only to the nails themselves, but also to the environment.

To dramatically reduce both the effort and damage associated with gel removal, MIRAI-α was created. Applied like a standard pre-primer and left to air-dry, MIRAI-α forms an ultra-thin, invisible layer on the nail surface. Despite this, it maintains adhesion between the natural nail and gel for the same duration as conventional applications—approximately 30 days. When used as a base, removal becomes remarkably simple. Just immerse your fingers in an ultrasonic cleaner and gently lift the gel by inserting a tool into the gap between the natural nail and the gel. The gel can be removed safely and smoothly—much like removing a nail tip. For those who love changing nail designs frequently, and for those who once had to give up gel nails due to work or lifestyle restrictions, MIRAI-α opens the door to a new future of nail beauty—one that is safer, more flexible, and more sustainable.

FAQ

My gel nail (using MIRAI-α as a base) peels off quickly.

Please check the following three points:


・Use a smaller amount.

Even a thin layer is effective.


・Apply to a smaller area.

Instead of spreading the MIRAI-α water-based gel over the entire nail, leave a margin around the edges and apply only to the center of the nail. Then apply your gel nail over it. This can improve adhesion and durability.


・Ensure the MIRAI-α gel is completely dry before application.

Make sure there is no moisture remaining on the nail surface before applying the gel nail.

The gel does not come off easily even when using an ultrasonic cleaner (sold separately).

Immediately after application (on the same day), adhesion is very strong and removal can be difficult.

Please follow the steps below:

1. Soak your nails for at least 1 minute.

2. Use a pusher to gently find an entry point and create a small gap between the nail and the gel layer.

3. Soak your nails again.

Repeat these steps several times as needed.

Do not forcefully remove the gel, as this may damage your natural nails.

What type of ultrasonic cleaner should I use?

We recommend using a device with a frequency of approximately 40,000 kHz.

Why can gel nails using MIRAI-α as a base be easily removed with water?

MIRAI-α is a water-based formula that, when fully dried and combined with gel nail products, enhances adhesion by modifying the bonding properties of the gel, allowing it to adhere effectively to the natural nail.

However, when water penetrates through microscopic gaps around the nail and enters between the nail and the gel layer, the material changes its behavior to a cushion-like state. This reduces adhesion, allowing the gel to be removed easily.

In addition, all ingredients used in MIRAI-α are approved for cosmetic use and are manufactured by domestic suppliers in Japan. The product is developed with a strong focus on safety, ensuring it is gentle on both the human body and the environment.
