What it is
Typically, the implementation of manicure using gel polish occurs in three stages, but using a single-phase coating, you can perform a manicure much easier and faster. This means that single-phase gel varnish combines the functions of the base, the fixer and the color coating itself. Now it is enough to apply only one or maximum two layers of this product on nails and manicure, which is considered complete. In addition, such a coating for nails is safer.

But sometimes it is not enough just to buy a gel polish from a good manufacturer; it is also necessary to apply it correctly.
How to apply
In order that the result from the use of single-phase gel polish does not bring disappointment, it is necessary to learn how to use it correctly. Step-by-step technique of using single-phase gel polish is as follows:
- Preparation of the tips of the fingers and the nail plate itself. First of all, it is necessary to remove the cuticle or to move it as far as possible if an unedged manicure is selected. Then, using a file, the desired shape and length of the nail itself is formed.
- Be sure to polish the entire surface of the nails. For this you need to use a special tool - buff. It is a thick soft file.
- If the use of a degreaser using a three-phase gel polish is an optional item, then using a single-phase coating, its use is mandatory.
- Then be sure to cover the entire nail plate with a primer. This is a special tool that provides a tight and reliable bonding of the gel to the surface of the marigold. In addition, the use of this product helps to avoid in the future the appearance of such defects as cracking and peeling of gel polish from the surface of the nail plate.
- Now you need to apply the single-phase remedy on the marigold. It should be remembered that such a gel polish is applied with a very thin layer to the surface. It should firmly press the brush to the marigold. Apply the product on each nail in turn, with mandatory drying in the UV lamp for 2 minutes or in the LED lamp for 30 seconds.
- If necessary, after drying, another thin layer of the coating can be applied to the surface of the nails. This is done to get a rich deep color. If the desired shade was not obtained, it is not recommended to apply the third layer. Nails will not be able to get the desired dose of oxygen, and the coating itself will begin to peel off from their surface faster.
To learn how to apply and remove single-phase gel polish, see the following video.
When drying a single-phase gel polish in the lamp, it is necessary to read the manufacturer's recommendations on the time of this procedure. Depending on the brand, the drying time may vary significantly. And non-compliance with the recommendations may lead to the appearance of various flaws.
But no matter how durable and quality was not covering the nails using a single-phase means, sooner or later it will need to be removed. But it is necessary to do this, also following some recommendations.
How to remove coverage
In order not to damage the structure of the nails, as well as to remove the single-phase gel polish as quickly and simply as possible from their surface, the following steps should be performed:
- You need to stock up on food foil, wooden nail sticks, plain cotton wool. You still need a cleanser, you can buy it immediately, complete with the selected single-phase gel polish, and you can buy it separately. If you choose a tool designed to remove gel polish is not possible, then the usual liquid for the removal of varnish, made on the basis of acetone, is also suitable.
- Cotton swabs are plentifully soaked with a solution and tightly pressed to the nails. There is a small nuance: the shorter their length, the easier it is to remove the coating from them. Therefore, if necessary and possible, it is first necessary to shorten the nails using nail scissors.
- Then the tampon attached to the nail, tightly wrapped on top of the usual foil. If it is not at hand, then the usual food wrap is also suitable.
- In this position, the hands are left for 10 or 15 minutes, then the compress is removed from the fingertips.
- With the help of an orange stick, the coating is raised upwards at the base of the nail, if it is easily amenable to this procedure, and with the help of a stick it is shifted upwards. Then completely clean off the nail. If the gel varnish does not soften after the time has elapsed, then a compress is applied to the nails and left for another 15 minutes.
- After complete removal of the coating, the marigolds should be thoroughly rinsed in warm water and apply nourishing cream or special oil on them.
- Despite the fact that single-phase gel polish can not cause particular harm to the nails, they need to give a break. therefore Before performing the next manicure using this tool should take at least a day.
With another way of removing the single-phase gel polish, you can see in the video below.
Useful recommendations
Finally, I would like to give a few additional tips that will help avoid the appearance of unpleasant consequences about this wonderful manicure tool.
- Firstly, you should never buy a single phase gel polish at a too low cost. It is worth remembering that a truly high-quality and safe product cannot cost less than 300 rubles per 6 ml vial.
- Secondly, it is better to give preference to proven manufacturers who have established themselves as the creators of high-quality and safe products. About those who are trustworthy, it was described above.
- Thirdly, before applying this type of gel polish it is strictly forbidden to shake the vial with this tool intensively. Otherwise, it is worth being prepared for the appearance of such defects as cracking and delamination of the coating.
It is not recommended to apply more than two layers of varnish on the nails. Otherwise, bubbles may appear on their surface during drying in the lamp.
Despite the high resistance of this product, any contact with water should be avoided, as well as a sharp temperature difference within three hours after the procedure. In order for the result of such a manicure to please for a long time, it is necessary and properly care for him.
At bedtime, a special oil or nourishing cream should be rubbed into the cuticle and nail bed for both the skin of hands and for nails.
In contact with potent chemicals, gloves should be used, the same applies to cases where a large amount of rough work is performed, for example, in a garden.
Even if after 15 days the manicure looks great, the coating will still need to be removed from the nails. Fingernails grow and unpainted areas appear, which creates the appearance of negligence. And besides, the nail plate also needs rest, because no matter how safe the composition of this product may be, it still contains various chemical components that, with prolonged contact with the nails, can damage their structure.
Compliance with all these simple, but very valuable recommendations will help not only to avoid disappointment in this product, but also not allow any damage to the nails.
Reviews
Manufacturers of single-phase gel nail polish insist that this tool is the best for creating a bright, lasting and beautiful manicure. Reviews of most customers confirm this. According to women, all the advantages of this coating claimed by the manufacturers actually occur. Using a single-phase gel polish can really reduce the time to perform a manicure, as well as save money. But the most important thing is that such savings not only have no effect on the appearance of the manicure, but also on the condition of the nails.
A wide palette of shades, a wide variety of brands engaged in the release of these products allow every woman who wants to purchase such a tool for nail art.
Manicurists also support such positive reviews of single-phase gel polish. They note the savings not only in time and money, but also the expansion of the working area. Now there is no need to force the entire table with different varnishes, fixers, and also to spend time on the selection of suitable products. After all, not all types of bases and top coatings fit together. But now all these problems are in the past. Instead of three bubbles, just use one.
If we talk about negative reviews about this tool, they are almost nonexistent. Most of the women who experienced this gel polish on themselves, were very pleased with the result. Those who did not get the desired effect themselves admit that they either violated recommendations for applying this coating on their nails, or acquired a rather dubious product.
The popularity of single-phase gel polish is quite justified and deserved. Those who have used it once openly declare that they are not going to return to the three-phase system for covering the nails.
