Gel varnish PNB

PNB Gel Polish - an innovative nail coating that combines the best characteristics of a modeling gel and professional nail polish. Despite the fact that the brand was founded quite recently, today its products are recognizable and in demand.

The special features of the coating of this type include the use of a special lamp. The manufacturer recommends two types of lamps: LED and UV. Each of them has its own nuances. The first one dries the nails very quickly (10-30 seconds), is more often used in salons, the second is more accessible and polymerizes absolutely all types of coatings within 2 minutes. Its optimum power is 36 watts.

The texture of the coating is dense, for an even and saturated tone, only two layers of the product are sufficient. It lies down easily, evenly distributed over the surface of the nail plate, does not flow over the cuticle and the side nail rollers. Convenient brush makes the application smooth without stripes and undyed areas.

Due to its ease of use, this coating can be used at home, making a high-quality manicure yourself. The whole procedure does not take much time, and the view will be like after the salon. This approach allows you to save the budget and give your nails a beautiful and well-groomed appearance for a long time.

One of the advantages of the gel polish from PNB is its high durability. The coating keeps on the nails for more than three weeks. And for all this time the appearance of chips, scratches and cracks is excluded, the varnish protects the nails from brittleness and delamination. It usually grows with the nail plate, so it has to be removed.

A distinctive feature of the brand's products is its availability. At the same time, the quality and characteristics of the coatings compete with the well-known Shellac from CND. This is the professional cosmetics of the nail industry, which has already been appreciated by experienced craftsmen working in salons. The varnish is applied with a thin layer, does not make the nails heavier and is suitable even for thin and brittle plates.

It is removed by soaking with special liquids, and then removed with an orange stick. The surface of the nail plate does not change color, does not acquire a yellowish tint, as when using conventional pigmented varnishes.

One of the features of this coating is the need to polish the natural nail. Although insignificant, but it harms the structure of the nail plates, depriving them of their natural protective layer. And due to the strong adhesion of the coating to the surface of the nail, oxygen does not flow to it in the proper amount, which leads to slower growth and weakening. Therefore, from time to time nails need rest to restore their natural structure.

Trademark gel polish is safe for health, as it does not contain harmful substances and toxins. It does not harm the nail plate, does not cause allergies and irritation of the skin around the nail.

The composition of the gel polish includes several components:

1. photoinitiator (a substance by which gel polish hardens under the influence of ultraviolet rays);
2. film former (component responsible for the formation of an elastic, durable, solid film that increases the resistance of the coating to mechanical damage and household chemicals);
3. pigment (more often a combination of natural and artificial dyes, which allows to obtain any shade, with a larger amount of which there is more coating density);
4. solvent (volatile liquid that determines the thickness of the varnish and the quality of its adhesion to the natural nail);
5. additives and fillers (substances that make the texture viscous, shiny and plastic, as well as give a different effect to the varnish: shimmer, glitter, thermo, matte, cat's eye, etc.).

In order for gel varnish to become an ornament and a favorite at work, you should take into account its shelf life when purchasing. Usually this indicator is indicated on the packaging and is 2 years from the date of manufacture. During this time, the components that make up the tool do not change their properties, so the texture of the lacquer remains unchanged and it does not complicate the manicure procedure.

As soon as the bottle is opened, the properties of the gel polish begin to change. This is due to the fact that the heavy substances and pigments that make up the product begin to push the volatile liquid (solvent) to the surface. With each application, the texture will gradually change, become thicker. The time during which the gel polish will serve after the opening, depends on the master who works with him and how he is treated.

To extend the shelf life of the funds, you need to properly store it. When using do not hold the bottle open for a long time. Better to periodically close it. You can not store gel polish in the sun: it leads to a change in shade and the appearance of yellowness in light shades of coatings.
