Gel polish manicure

Beautiful, bright, and most importantly, persistent manicure - this is what many women dream of. But often the coating exfoliates from the nails within two or three days. But it was before. Now everyone has the opportunity to perform a gel polish manicure, which will allow you to create a bright, beautiful and very resistant nail art nails to your taste.

Manicure marigold using gel polish every day is becoming increasingly popular. It allows you to make a beautiful, lasting manicure, even on your own at home. Moreover, unlike nail extensions or acrylic coatings, gel polish is safer for the structure of marigolds. The variety of shades, the possibility of applying a pattern or rhinestone on top of this coating make it possible to create a manicure for every taste and occasion of life.

Being the opposite of standard varnishes and acrylic coatings, this tool not only does not hurt the nails, but also contributes to their strengthening and enhancing growth. Therefore, this type of nail art is ideal for women with thin and brittle nails.

Also, this coating will be the best choice for those who like a bright and beautiful manicure, but can not or do not want to do it every day. The unique formula of this tool allows it to preserve the brightness of colors, their brilliance and safety on the nails for more than 14 days. Therefore, this nail design is perfect for those who go on vacation or on a long trip.

The process of covering their nails is not difficult, but it may become completely impossible due to the lack of the necessary tools. Therefore, before proceeding directly to the manicure, you should acquire all the necessary attributes in advance.

Those who decide to try to do their own manicure with gel polish, you must stock up with the necessary equipment, and first of all it concerns special UV lamps. On sale there are two types of such lamps - UV and LED. For beginners, it is best to give preference to the first option, since it has a lower cost and is more simple to use.

You will also need special files of various sizes and a special file for grinding the nail plate - baff. In addition to the gel polish of various shades, you will need a special base and fixer. Particular attention should be paid to the fact that these two tools were designed specifically for gel coating, those used for nail extension are not suitable. After using them, gel polish begins to crack within a few hours. In extreme cases, it is possible to coat the gel with an ordinary colorless varnish, but in this case it is not necessary to count on the long-lasting manicure resistance.

First of all, you need to undergo special training. It is the preparation for further work that plays an important role.Not only its appearance and durability depends on how well a manicure is performed, but also the opinion of you as a specialist.

This can be done both in specialized courses and by asking a good specialist to show you a master class. It is even better to take private lessons from time to time, so you can avoid many problems in work and, if necessary, immediately receive competent assistance. By itself, the instruction on working with gel polish is very simple, all stages are available, understandable and detailed, but it’s better to see once than to read or hear it several times.

A simple gel nail polish coating of one color quickly becomes boring. Therefore, it is recommended to constantly improve your professionalism. The easiest way is to purchase special stickers, rhinestones and stencils for creating drawings and patterns.

Experienced manicurists strongly recommend all beginners, even those who plan to do gel-polish exclusively for themselves, to create a portfolio of their work. This will allow you to visually see the progress of your activities or see some errors.

But you can learn how to qualitatively, beautifully, correctly and gently coat your nails with gel polish only by regularly practicing. Therefore, the first step is to thoroughly understand how to properly paint your nails with gel varnish at home on your own.

Manicure with your own hands, without leaving the walls of the house, in two ways. They differ in the materials used and the type of lamp. In the first case, to perform the manicure, you will need a file, a buff, a base and a top coat, a UV llama, a gel polish of the desired shade, a degreaser and a disinfector. In the second case, similar tools are used, but a primer is also added to them, and the UV lamp is replaced with an LED lamp.

The instruction of the first method contains the following steps:

1. Ripping the edge of the nail to give it the necessary smooth shape and removing the keratin layer from its surface with the help of a regular file and file. Use the buff must be done with caution, it is enough to make only a few movements with this tool to remove shine from the surface of the nails. This is necessary for better bonding of the coating with the nail.
2. Then you need to cut the cuticle, using special tweezers.
3. Degreasing of the nail bed It is an obligatory step in manicure with gel varnish.
4. After that, the surface of the nail bed is covered with a special helium base. It is best to apply it on each finger and dry it in the lamp. In UV, the drying time is two minutes.
5. After that, on the dried nails is applied a thin layer of the selected shade gel polish. Pay special attention that the first layer should be translucent. We also recommend applying on each finger one by one, and each next one should be painted after the previous one dries.
6. Apply a second layer of gel polish, which should be much thicker than the first. Also dry the tips of the fingers in the UV lamp.
7. In conclusion, all the marigolds must be applied top coating, which should cover and the end of the marigold. It should also dry completely under ultraviolet light. At the end of time, the sticky layer is removed from the nail using a disinfector.

If we talk about the second method of performing manicure at home, the sequence of actions is similar to the above method. The difference lies in two things:

• After degreasing the nail bed, a primer is first applied to it, which is dried in the lamp, and only after that the base is applied under the gel polish. Further manicure technique is also performed step by step, as in the first method.
• Unlike the ultraviolet lamp, the LED lamp allows you to dry the coating not in two minutes, but in just 15-20 seconds, which allows to significantly reduce the time of the procedure.

Although the first embodiment of the manicure can be used and the lamp LED. It all depends on the material possibilities and personal preferences. The technology of manicure with gel varnish does not imply the obligatory use of a primer. But experienced masters say that this tool allows you to extend the life of a manicure and a positive effect on the nails.

Performing a manicure step by step, you can add some of your changes. For example, before applying a top coat, you can decorate your marigold with colored threads, rhinestones, or any pattern. At the same time, it must be remembered that additional decorations can be applied only after the gel polish has dried in the lamp.

When doing a manicure gel polish, you need to pay special attention to the accuracy of applying all types of coating on the nails. It should be carefully monitored so that the gel polish or fixative does not get on the skin rollers around the nails and the cuticle. Firstly, they will be able to provoke the appearance of irritation or an allergic reaction, and secondly, such a manicure will look untidy and careless.

This type of coating for nails can not be removed just like regular nail polish. Some masters remove it from the nails with a nail file, that is, they cut it off, as does an acrylic coating or extended nails. But this is absolutely wrong. First, it is a waste of time, and secondly, such a procedure can significantly damage the nails.

To remove gel polish from the surface of the nails, you can use a special cleansing solution, which can be purchased immediately complete with gel. And you can use the usual nail polish remover, but on condition that it contains acetone in its composition.

The disks are plentifully wetted in the selected solution and are tightly applied to the fingertips, and wrapped with foil on top. In this position, the hands are on average 20 minutes. If a special tool was used, the time of its impact on the gel Polish is 15 minutes. If you used the usual nail polish remover, then it must be left on the nails for half an hour.

Then the foil with the fleece is removed from the fingertips. The nail covering, which is under them, should be strongly inflated and rise above the surface of the nail. With the help of an orange stick, gently lift it to the end and push it to the edge of the nail, then completely remove it. Under the influence of the liquid, the lacquer turns into a thin film, which is easily and simply removed from the surface of the nail without injuring it.

After removing the gel polish, you must give your nails a rest for at least a couple of days.It is best to make special herbal baths or baths with sea salt, this will help them recover faster after the procedure.
