How to apply
Luxio coating has a classic three-stage model and requires mandatory drying in a UV or LED-lamp. Let's talk about how to make a resistant glossy manicure with Luxio coating.
- First you need to prepare the nail plate for applying the base and gel polish: shape the nail, remove the cuticle and treat the surface with a buff to better grip the gel;
- Next you need degrease the nail surface with a special liquid - klinsser or degreaser from the product line for Luxio manicure or choose a high-quality analogue;
- The use of primer is a purely individual step. Experienced masters often use it for processing the nail plate, beginners and home masters often neglect them;
- First cover - applying Luxio base and drying it in a lamp from 30 seconds to a couple of minutes depending on the power;
- It is recommended to apply the color of the gel in two layers: This will allow you to get a rich tone and create a classic nude manicure. The manufacturer recommends to dry the nail immediately after applying the varnish, that is, one by one. This technology is often used in manicure rooms and less often at home;
- Be sure to record the result top Luxio, it will protect the surface of the nail plate from chipping and scratching, additionally it will give color saturation and glossy shine (or a matte finish using a special anti-gloss top) .;
- Each step of covering the nail plate is recommended to be completed by sealing the tip of the nail - pat the butt of its end with a brush or draw a semi-dry brush along the contour so that the coating is preserved for a long time;
- The final stage - removing the sticky layer from the surface of the nail with the help of Luxio klinzer or other high quality analogue.
The application of Luxio varnish does not differ from the standard three-step procedure. The manufacturer recommends using all three products of the same brand Luxio + degreaser of the same name brand to get the perfect result. Like other varnishes, Luxio gel is recommended to be applied in two or even three layers to obtain a rich shade.
Masters recommend creating manicure in the style of Nude with the help of 3 layers due to the fact that often light shades “get lost” on the nail plate and look transparent.
Reviews
Reviews of masters about gel varnish Luxio sometimes ambiguous. Someone loves this product and tries to work exclusively with him, while others bypass the 100% gel side due to its high cost and nuances in the work.
Negative reviews are based on the high cost of the product, which is especially noted home and inexperienced masters. In addition, to create high-quality coatings, the manufacturer recommends using bases, lacquer and top brand Luxio and not combining them with other low-cost and even expensive tools. In the conditions of a beauty salon, this rule can be observed, but it is more difficult at home. Masters call Luxio gel lacquer difficult to use: it has a dense heavy consistency and lays on the surface of the nail plate in a thick layer, this fact does not always give the master the opportunity to work through the area under the cuticle or the edge of the nail without getting the varnish on the skin.
In addition, they note that gel varnish cannot be used after treating nails with warm water for steaming, only with hardware manicure or using a special dehydrator and primer (to remove excess moisture from the nail plate).
Luxio gel varnish is very capricious when applied to the end of the nail, in order to solder it, you have to slap the butt with a brush.
These disadvantages gel Luxio may seem absurd for some masters and quite appropriate - for others. You can get used to the density of the coating, as noted by the masters of the nail service, and even to the presence of smell. By the way, about the merits of Luxio luxury gel polishes - they do not smell imperfectly.
Luxio's gel-gel polish is also an amateur, and rather, it is appreciated by customers. One likes the dense texture of the nail, others this fact repels and prompts to the classic hybrid composition.
Positive reviews of Luxio brand products often mark the composition of colored gels - they do not contain harmful components, and often the prefix "bio" is added to the name of the master lacquer. They also recommend customers to varnishes of this manufacturer in case the nail plate is too thin or susceptible to fragility, delamination, since Luxio gel varnish tends to strengthen and care for it. Experienced masters learned to work with the compositions of the Luxio brand along with the rest, more budget or famous brands of gel polishes. They are particularly attracted by the absence of a sharp smell, because you have to work all day and, accordingly, breathe these fumes.
In general, gel polishes respond positively due to the quality of the composition with a long service life. The fact that after removing the nails will remain in the initial state, encourages customers and craftsmen to choose coverage from the Canadian brand of the luxury segment and use it exclusively. With frequent use of gel polishes and especially removal of the coating, the nail is subjected to destructive effects, but Luxio gel allows you to avoid this and deserves appreciation from the masters and their clients.
