Features and benefits
Gel polish is a plastic gel, a composition consisting of gel and lacquer, a specially designed formula, due to which the coating looks like varnish, but dries under a special lamp, like gel. This is an alternative to the legendary Shellac.
Fox gel nail polish is a tool not only for professional masters. The company has developed a gel polish that is not difficult to work, which allows you to easily make a high-quality manicure at home. The coating has a pleasant texture of medium density, which lies on the surface of the nail plate evenly, self-leveling for 5-10 seconds, does not flow over the cuticle and the side nail rollers. For a rich, even tone, two thin layers of the product are sufficient. This makes the product economical to use.
In addition to simplicity in work, the tool has an affordable price. This allows you to significantly save budget and time, giving your nails a beautiful and well-groomed appearance for a long time. They look like they did the coating in the cabin.
The main advantage of gel polish of the American brand is high resistance. The company offers a coating that lasts for two weeks and more, without changing its properties. It does not need to be adjusted, it is resistant to mechanical damage, chips and cracks. At the same time, gel polish does not lose the original color and glossy shine. It is removed only because the nails begin to grow, and you need to apply a new coating.
This is a professional tool made of high-quality components. Its composition does not contain harmful substances, so it does not harm the structure of the nail plate. A feature of the use of such a coating is the need to polymerize each layer at all stages of application. Otherwise the manicure will not be long-term.
The disadvantages of coatings, like all gel varnishes, include the need to sand the surface of the nail for greater adhesion to the varnish. Regular manicure can lead to weakening, thinning of the nail plates and their exfoliation. In addition, too long finding funds on the nails prevents the free access of oxygen to them, so the growth of nails may stop or slow down.
Periodically, the nails should rest from such drugs. This will restore the natural protective layer and normalize the water balance.

Usage tips
Some women, having tried to do a manicure on their own and not taking into account all the nuances of its implementation, wonder why the coating “runs away”, exfoliates too quickly. To avoid chipping, cracks and scratches that may appear after a few days, it is important to implement the technology of gel polish.
In order to do everything correctly, you will need a starter kit, including:
- grinder;
- baf;
- degreaser;
- base;
- pigmented gel polish;
- topcoat;
- solvent;
- soft shreds or lint-free wipes;

Enhance the long-term and beauty of a manicure will help compliance with all the subtleties of its application. This process includes several steps: light manicure, preparing the nail plate for the coating, applying the base, pigmented coating and top. If desired, you can decorate your nails with sliders.
Lamp selection
Immediately it is worth noting that the lamp must be purchased such that it dries any type of coating. The LED lamp dries the gel polish layer very quickly (10-30 seconds), although it is not suitable for every type of coating. An ultraviolet lamp is a more suitable option. However, choosing it, you need to know the optimal power.
In this case, you need to take a device with a power of 36 W: this is quite enough not to dry the skin and not harm the quality of the coating, while strong indicators will draw moisture from the epidermis and leave dull spots on the coating, or even ruin it. The polymerization time in this device is 2 minutes per layer.
For more information about the criteria for the selection of lamps, see the following video.
The execution technology is as follows:
- Perform a light manicure without soaking. It is necessary to trim the free edge of the nail, remove the cuticle. The butt should be perfect, the surface is ground. With the help of the buff, the keratin layer (gloss only) is removed with light movements.
- The prepared surface is degreased, remove the remnants of sawdust and cream (oil), if they were used for manicure. After treatment, it is better not to touch the nails: this will reduce adhesion with the coating.
- A layer of base is applied to the cleaned surface. It should be thin. The base prevents staining of the nail plate and the appearance of a yellow tone after removing the funds. It is necessary for maximum adhesion of the nail with the pigment, so its surface is sticky. If any foreign particles get on it, they should be carefully and carefully removed.
- Coating pigment. This stage usually consists of two layers. The texture of the gel varnishes of the brand is quite dense, so there is no need for a third layer: a rich, even tone is achieved after applying a second thin layer. The pigment does not leave streaks, does not bubble and does not roll down in waves.
- Top cover. It is applied in a more dense layer, so it dries a little longer: 3 to 4 minutes in a UV lamp and 1 minute in LED. The company offers different coatings. In the case of design, you can use the finish with a sticky layer. This will add adhesion. If the manicure is traditional, you can use a top without a sticky layer.
- After using a sticky top and drying under the lamp you need remove residual stickiness using an alcohol-containing solution and special soft wipes.
The product is removed using a special macerating fluid F.O.X.
