How to remove the sticky layer with gel polish
The modern beauty industry has made great strides forward and today offers unique treatments with a lasting effect for women, including gel nail polish. Its use allows you to create a uniform glossy or matte coating of nails, which lasts an average of 2-3 weeks. It is a hybrid of the usual varnish and gel according to the type used for building the nail plate. The gel has a rich dense texture and fixes the color pigment due to the action of ultraviolet radiation: gel varnish requires the mandatory use of a UV or LED lamp.
The application of the product involves several layers: the base, the color itself and the top coating. After using the latter, a sticky layer forms on the surface of the plate: it binds the previous ones together.
The final stage of the gel lacquer application procedure is the removal of the dispersion layer from the surface of the nail, which is carried out due to the special composition.

Most women do not know how to properly called a degreaser, we recall once again, in professional circles his name is "Klintser." Its composition is extremely simple: about 70% water, 25-28% alcohol and fragrances for a pleasant aroma. Often women ask why a sticky film is formed after applying the base, gel polish and top. It serves for better adhesion of the layers to each other, which each time lie on each other and require fixing in order for the coating to last as long as possible.

As a rule, professional masters use gel varnish and klinsser of one company - this allows rational use of funds and obtaining a high-quality coating with a glossy shine and uniform texture. If you choose different firms of lacquer and degreaser, you may face the problem of color clouding due to the reaction of the chemical elements of the products to each other; in one mark a similar incident is unlikely to occur.
Clinser is used necessarily in the final stage - removing the sticky layer. Without it, it is impossible to get the expected result: a glossy, uniform surface of the nail plate.
This liquid product is used for:
- Removing the sticky layer from the nail. This is his main task, and it was for her that the product was invented.
- Processing the nail plate before applying the base. The nail has an invisible lipid film, which is a consequence of the work of the glands and acts as a barrier against the negative influence of external factors.

What can replace
In rare cases, a professional clinser may not be at hand; then it may be replaced by other products:
- Acetone free nail polish remover. It can be used for degreasing natural nail, base and after applying the top coat, while it can be used in its pure form without diluting it with water. It is important to apply a product that does not contain acetone, which can remove the pigment from the nail, and make the color dull, non-uniform.
- Alcohol solution. Surely in the home first aid kit there is pure alcohol or vodka - they will be useful for creating an alcohol solution to remove the sticky layer from the surface of the nail. Depending on the concentration of alcohol, dilute it with water: it is recommended to dilute the pure product with water in proportions 3: 7, vodka or alcohol tincture 4: 7. High-quality vodka or alcohol will not harm the coating, will not deprive it of color and will not remove the gloss even despite the fact that manufacturers extremely do not recommend using this method.
To create the perfect gel polish, you need to use a cliner or a degreaser so as not to damage the surface of the nail and the delicate skin around it, do not spoil the applied pigment and do not expose the final result to unknown consequences.

The subtleties of the process at home
Modern women are increasingly doing a manicure at home - it significantly saves the budget of housewives or a business woman, allows you to do the procedure at any time of the day and additionally watch a couple of episodes of your favorite series. Often women ask how to degrease the nail at home. The most correct answer is to use a clinzer, which is also a degreaser. This professional tool is indispensable for creating a uniform gel lacquer coating and long-term results. Remove the adhesive layer from the surface of the nail plate - it means to complete the time-consuming process and do other things.
There are a number of subtleties that professionals know, but girls do not always guess:
- Removing the adhesive layer completes the process and allows the nail to become smooth, shiny with a glossy shine. If you do not remove it in time, the nail will turn into something unsightly - a lot of lint and dust will adhere immediately. The timely removal of this layer will remove potential allergens - gel-lacquer derivatives.
- If you decide to apply gel polish and find that the clinser is over, it doesn't matter: use ordinary nail polish remover without acetone. It will perfectly cope with the resulting dispersion layer and will help to clean the surface of the nail before applying the base.
We must not forget that before applying the base should first degrease the nail plate and give it to dry naturally to form a better grip between the nail and gel polish.
Nail polish remover will replace the alcohol - dilute it with plenty of water and wipe the nail - remove the sticky layer.
- Use a lint-free cloth to remove the adhesive layer. Small in size napkins are sold in professional stores and shops with cosmetics for hands and nails. Lack of pile on them allows you to gently remove the adhesive layer without the risk of damaging the coating. Lint-free wipes are used to degrease the plate before applying the base, and it is the absence of small fibers that allows the gel-polish base to lie down evenly.
- Often the question arises whether to remove the adhesive layer after applying the base. We answer - it is necessary if the base and lacquer are made by different brands. The correct choice should be made in favor of one manufacturer and gel varnish, and top, and base, at the same time and klinder. This will allow you to get a quality result and not be disappointed in it. Different companies use different instructions for creating products and mixing them among themselves can often lead to cracks in the gel polish coating, unstable results and other unpleasant consequences.
If it turns out that the base and gel polish are different in origin, we recommend removing the adhesive layer before applying the gel polish.
- It is necessary to remove the adhesive layer if you apply the pattern over the nail plate with a brush or use several shades in the design on one nail. The adhesive layer will not allow to make the picture clear, smooth, bright, so it requires prior removal.
- Professional masters do not remove the adhesive film from the base, because it provides better adhesion to the pigment and top as the final coating. This position is true in its own way and only experience can tell how to act more correctly in a given situation.
It is only necessary to remove the adhesive layer after drying the top coating in the lamp - the time depends on the power of the latter and usually does not exceed a couple of minutes. After you remove your fingers from the lamp, allow the coating to cool for 30-60 seconds and only then remove the sticky layer with a special cloth.
