Gel Polish without lamp drying

Ultraviolet processing of each layer makes the coating stronger, keeps the varnish on the fingers longer and prevents color damage, but takes a lot of time and effort. Therefore, a three-stage manicure with the use of gel polish is gradually becoming a thing of the past.

Gel varnish combines the properties of the gel base and varnish coating. It creates a gloss effect on the nails - such a tool lasts a long time and has its advantages over the usual varnish:

• safe use - there are no harmful substances in the composition, and the appearance of allergies is minimized;
• universal application - gel polish can be used at any age;
• wide selection - produced in whole series with a huge range of colors, tones and semitones;
• Effect - additional series have special properties, for example, holographic, neon, thermal and others. The coating can be glossy or matte. The latter will dry several times faster;
• protection - due to the gel base marigolds are not subject to mechanical stress and damage.

The usual method of applying lacquer with the use of a base layer, color and stamp contributed to the release of 2 in 1 and 3 in 1. The time spent on manicure with them is less, but the result is worse. Universal remedies dry quickly, but do not justify advertising and stick on nails for no more than three days.
