Bio gel nail polish
Caring for the appearance of marigolds is a standard procedure for women. To date, it is impossible to find the representative of the weaker sex, which would have neglected the quality manicure.
However, it is necessary to recognize that our nails, like many other parts of the body imperceptible at first glance, turn out to be more sensitive than one would think.
Chemical effects, including the constant application and removal of varnishes, affect the health of the nail plate. It is not surprising that, in addition to standard coloring agents, a so-called bio-gel appeared, which has quite unique qualities.
You will learn more about nail restoration with biogel from the following video.
What is different from gel polish?
We can not say that manicure gel is such a novelty. Gel Polish has long been known to many women due to the fact that it has better stability compared to standard manicure products. In order to make an exponential comparison between a conventional gel polish and a novelty in the form of biogel, it is necessary first to understand what it is and why it is needed.
As it is easy to understand from the name, varnish-gel is a hybrid product that combines the qualities of a standard varnish and the structure of a gel. In order for such a manicure to "dry", it must undergo a procedure of polymerization. For this reason, a manicure using this tool is carried out using an ultraviolet lamp. Under its radiation, the gel polish layer freezes over a period from 10 seconds to 3 minutes.
Of course, the main difference gel polish is not in the features of its application.
It affects the nail plate itself, strengthens it and makes it thicker. Due to this, resistance to damage becomes not only a manicure, but also the nails themselves.
By the way, solid structure and density are the main differences of such varnish from the above-mentioned biogel. Biogel is much more often used to strengthen natural nails. It is a slightly volatile natural rubber-based polymer fluid. After application, it does not make the plate brittle and strengthens it by imparting flexibility and elasticity.
The composition of biogel is usually based on various natural ingredients. This may be rubber, resin, as well as proteins, calcium. Their main purpose is to strengthen the nail plate without disrupting its structure. Protection against damage is achieved by acquiring a more resilient and resistant consistency after application.
Of course, this tool is not purely therapeutic.
It can also be used for decorative works, as a basis for a manicure or as one of its components. There is also a separate version, the so-called sculptural gel. It is used to increase the natural nail tissue, giving it a certain shape and alignment. The texture of the gel easily penetrates into microcracks, fills them and makes them as inconspicuous as possible.
You can see that the difference between the usual lacquer gel and biogel is based on their texture and principle of action. ABOUTHowever, there are several other differences:
- After drying, the usual gel like classic varnishes becomes more solid, at the same time sealing and nail. Biogel gives elasticity;
- Biogel procedures take much longer. It may take about 45 minutes, taking into account the application and drying steps;
- The undeniable advantage of a biological gel - It is an opportunity to increase the natural nail plate and even correct it;
- In case of prolonged use of gel polish, additional correction is required, as well as a special basis;
- The average smear thickness for a bio-gel is approximately 2 mm;
- The final and undeniable advantage of this tool is a higher content of natural components. Due to this, unlike all standard means for applying manicure, biological gel does not irritate and does not damage the natural nail plate.
Of course, it was not without negative points. Treatments with classic varnishes are much cheaper. Nevertheless, saving on one's health is not always beneficial, therefore, if possible, it is worth considering the use of biogel as the most priority choice.
What is better, everyone decides for himself. As can be understood from the above, the usual varnish-gel offers a virtually immaculate, full-fledged manicure, which will be distinguished by the density, thickening and compaction of the nail, and also attracts a more favorable price. As for the use of a biological gel, it is, first of all, the improvement of your nails, their strengthening due to elasticity, leveling the plate and the possibility of its extension.
At this subtleties of using such tools are not limited, because many women probably wondered whether it is possible to put them together.
And this is really not a problem. Moreover, such a combination allows you to achieve an impressive result, which perfectly combines the improvement of the nail plate, its maintenance and bright decor.
In order to properly perform such a manicure, it is enough to adhere to the following recommendations:
- The combination of the two means is possible only if the biological gel acts as a base and supports the nail plate;
- Before the procedure, you should bring nails in order. They need to be trimmed, sanded, and also must be cleaned and degreased using special cleansers;
- Apply the primer to the prepared nails first and then the biogel layer. Dry them under an ultraviolet lamp for two minutes;
- Lastly, a thin gel polish of a suitable shade is applied, and then also dried under ultraviolet light. Then you can finish the procedure or continue working on decorating, depending on your preferences. The main thing - do not forget to dry each coat of varnish.
This combination is particularly well suited for those women who can not refuse a bright and beautiful manicure.
After all, biological gel is practically not available in the color palette and is essentially transparent.
Which one to use
When choosing a means for applying should pay attention to its type. Now on the shops there are many options that differ in composition and quality. In general, several groups of biological gel can be distinguished:
- The so-called sculptural type - This is a tool that is used, if necessary, to increase the natural nail plate and strengthen the necessary shape. Building up is possible up to 1-2 mm., While the nail will acquire a natural shade from white to light beige;
- "RoyalSealer" gel. If you are interested in the possibility of combining the usual varnish and biological gel, then this option is ideal for you. It has a transparent clean structure, so it easily hides the possible yellowness of your marigolds and fixes the decorative layers well, if applied as a base;
- "S-Biogel", which is also often called “color”, because it is this type that is sometimes available in a specific palette. It is an independent tool that, after drying, forms a high-quality elastic manicure.
Application technology
The use of a biological gel will require some material preparation. In particular, you can not do without an ultraviolet lamp.On the shelves of stores you can find products whose manufacturer claims that using it will not require UV drying, but this is far from the case.
Any manicure tool that has a lacquer texture should be dried under the lamp. In addition, you will need a set of files, tools for cleaning and degreasing the nail plate, a tool for removing the cuticle, a primer that does not contain acidic substances.
The application technique itself is not too complicated.
It is enough to observe the sequence of all stages and not to forget about the features of gel products. Below are the general principles for applying biogel:
- First, soften and remove excess cuticle. It can also simply move to the edge of the nail bed;
- With the help of a solid file, give the nails the desired shape. Please note that the upper layer does not need to gouge or polish, it is enough to clean it with the help of tools and degrease;
- Instead of a base, use a primer without acid components. It will significantly improve the adhesion strength of the tool with the nail;
- The primer dries without a lamp about 2-5 minutes. After that you can apply biogel itself. Usually, the procedure is performed as with ordinary lacquer: the right amount of the product is first applied to the middle of the nail from the bottom up, and then distributed over the entire nail in circles or even strokes;
- Means is applied, as a rule, in several layers. Usually, the first one acts as a base, it dries under a UV lamp for about 2-3 minutes, and then it can be covered with a second fixing layer;
- At the end of the procedure, the nails are also dried under a UV lamp for 2 minutes. To avoid the stickiness of the gel, you can process the marigold again with a degreasing agent.
Reviews
Now biological means for nail care are gaining wide popularity. If we immediately talk about the shortcomings, then we can distinguish the relatively high cost of such biogel, as well as the absence of a large color palette, so for decorating a manicure you still have to combine it with gel varnish.
However, such a tool is very well suited for sculpting nails.
Today it is almost the only and easy way to build a natural nail plate.
