- Peel-Off Primer for Nails
“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. By using MIRAI-α as a base, removal becomes remarkably easy. Simply soak the tips of your nails in water, then gently insert a nail pusher, wooden stick, or similar tool into the gap between the natural nail and the gel. The gel can then be lifted off with ease—almost like removing a nail tip!
One of the greatest features of MIRAI-α is its clean and effortless removal. There is no need to worry about damaging the natural nail with an electric nail file, or dealing with partially dissolved gel residue that can occur when using acetone or oil-based removers. MIRAI-α allows for a smooth, clean removal while helping keep the natural nail intact.
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.
How To Use
Merit
This product is compatible with all types of gel, including hard gel and peel-off gel.

Regular gel nails cannot be removed for two weeks to a month after application. However, if you use "MIRAI-α" as a base, you can remove them whenever you feel like it, whether it's right after application, a day, a week, or even a month later.
While soaking your fingertips in water, use a simple tool such as a nail pusher or wooden stick—or even a household toothpick—to gently guide water into the gap between the gel and your natural nail. This makes the gel easy to remove.
The easy removal process also gives you peace of mind if you unexpectedly need to visit a medical facility.
Gel nails that use "MIRAI-α" as the base do not require remover when removing,
significantly reducing damage to the nails.
Gel nails that use "MIRAI-α" as the base do not require sanding with a grinder when removing,

FAQ
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.
Immediately after application (on the same day), the adhesion is very strong, which may make the gel more difficult to remove.
Please follow the steps below:
1. While soaking your nails in water, gently use a nail pusher, wooden stick, or similar tool.
2. Look for an edge where you can carefully insert the tool into the gap between your natural nail and the gel layer.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 several times as needed, taking your time and gradually working the gel off. Never forcefully peel off the gel, as doing so may damage your natural nails.
Some types of gel may adhere more strongly to the nail surface. If you are concerned about the time it takes to remove the gel or have thin natural nails, we recommend using a commercially available ultrasonic cleaner (sold separately; approximately 40 kHz recommended) and following the same removal process. This can make the gel even easier to remove.
Although MIRAI-α itself is water-based, once it has dried and is combined with gel nail products, it has the unique property of modifying the gel to help it adhere more effectively to the natural nail.
However, when water penetrates through microscopic gaps around the gel layer and reaches the space between the natural nail and the gel, MIRAI-α changes to exhibit cushion-like properties. This reduces the adhesion between the natural nail and the gel, allowing the gel to be removed easily.
All materials used in MIRAI-α are approved for use in cosmetics and are manufactured by suppliers in Japan. MIRAI-α is a high-quality nail cosmetic product developed with careful consideration for both people and the environment.
