From a game – Army Painter was created from a creation by Bo Penstoft and Jonas Færing, two veterans of Wargaming and miniature painting. Their initial goal was to create paints and accessories that help them become an experienced miniature painter. The goal of The Army Painter is to help you create fantastic patterns on your work table and save the time you can spend with us.
Acrylic spray – all colour primers from The Army Painter are an ingenious combination of colour and primer, so you do not have to do two coats, saving you time and money.
Acrylic primer – Our primers are made of heavy pigments, which allows perfect application and coverage of the surface. The formula of the primers allows it to be used on all metals, plastics or resins and colours all surfaces.

The vitamins A, E, B7 and B8 as well as calcium pantothenate contained in the composition have nourishing and strengthening properties. Therefore, it is recommended to use primer vitamins on a damaged or brittle nail plate.
Primer Vitamins is gentle, non-invasive thanks to the formula and allows you to work on very damaged nail plate.
Primer Vitamins is an acid-free preparation that increases the adhesion of the base to the natural nail plate. Enriched with vitamins, it takes on nourishing properties. You can use it in the hybrid, gel and acrylic method.
Ingredients of natural origin eliminate the burning sensation in the lamp. They prevent excessive filling of other products to be applied with air and lifting (contracting of the product).
An innovative formula that allows the introduction of a vitamin complex does not weaken the adhesion properties - the product acts like a double-sided tape that bonds the nail and the applied base.
