Thermo Gel Polish

Manicure today is not just beautiful and well-groomed nails, emphasizing the femininity of nature. Due to the huge choice of products of the nail industry, today it is also a way to stand out from the crowd, showing their individuality and creativity. One of the most striking and spectacular products of nail coatings is thermo gel varnish.

Thermal gel polish is a plastic gel, a special formula that combines the best properties of the modeling gel and the quality characteristics of the varnish. This is a new nail coating that is applied as a regular varnish, but requires polymerization (drying), like a gel.

The name "thermogel" means thermal product. The main feature of this type of lacquer coating is its effect: He is able to change the shade of color depending on the change of temperature. This is a chameleon effect cover.

The effect of a color jacket can appear even if you hold a cup of hot tea in your hands or put your hands in cold water. Such gel polish begins to manifest itself in the process of application. It allows you to always be different, gives a lot of positive emotions to the owner.

As part of the temperature gel polish there are special heat-sensitive components that respond to cooling or heating. In warmth, the shade becomes light, in the cold or cold it darkens. This tool manifests itself at any time of the year, constantly changing shades during the day and night.

The surface of the nail plate differs in different temperature regions. At the base it is warmer than the butt. Therefore, the color of the gel polish will not be monotonous. In addition, the effect affects the length of the nails. If they are short, the tone transition will be more uniform and less pronounced. In the case of long nails, the transition is fantastic.

Often the difference in shades is very significant. In the heat, the thermo gel polish can be almost white, and in the cold the pigment takes on a dark tone. In addition, a unique coating of thermal gel polish can combine contrasting shades. For example, pink tone, reacting to the cold, becomes blue, white - purple, green turns into a chocolate color.

Like any gel polish, thermogel is a coating with a high degree of durability. Depending on the choice of brand nail cosmetics, it can stick to nails from two weeks to one month. At the same time, the coating often does not need to be adjusted, does not form chips, does not crack, and is resistant to scratches and mechanical damage.

The thermal gel varnish differs in reasonable price and ease in work. This allows you to save the budget and perform a professional manicure, as in the salon, independently at home. It has a comfortable brush for application, dense texture and excellent pigmentation. This saturated coating, which falls flat, is distributed evenly over the surface, leaving no stripes and undyed patches.

The advantage of gel polish is also in the fact that It is applied on natural nails that do not need to be filed, as when building. This ensures maximum respect for the nail plates, although they lose their natural protective layer. Often, manufacturers produce hypoallergenic agents with vitamins that strengthen the nails and saturate them with useful substances.

Since thermal gel polishes are firmly attached to the surface of the nail plates, they prevent the access of air in the right amount. This slows the growth of nails, and in some cases leads to delamination and brittleness.

Unlike conventional varnishes, manicure technology using thermo gel varnish has its own characteristics. To create a perfect manicure you will need:

• soft nail file;
• polisher (buff);
• dehydrator;
• primer;
• transparent base under gel polish;
• pigmented thermogel;
• fixer;
• lamp for the polymerization of thermo gel varnish;
• soft napkins lint-free;
• liquid to remove residual stickiness.

The technology itself is quite simple and does not require special skills. It is available not only to the master: every woman can learn how to properly use thermo gel varnish.

You can give your nails beauty, a spectacular and immaculate look, if you know certain nuances of the procedure:

• Before you begin, you need to correct the manicure (without soaking). You can remove the cuticle, trim the free edge of the nail, give it the desired shape. Nails should be the same in length and shape. Then you need to remove the remnants of the cream or oil, if used.
• It is equally important to prepare the very surface of the nail plate. The strength of the coating depends on a good base. It needs to be polished delicately, removing only gloss.

• After that, it is necessary to degrease the surface with a dehydrator. In addition to the main function, it will remove the remnants of sawdust and remove microparticles accidentally caught on the surface of the nail.
• After removal of the keratin layer, an acid-free primer should be applied. Such a product is needed for soft and weak natural nails. Acidic is used in work with extended nails: here it is inappropriate.
• A base coat is applied on the prepared surface with a thin layer. It is a kind of layer of soil that promotes better adhesion of the surface and pigment. After applying the base it must be dried in ultraviolet rays. Polymerization time depends on the type of lamp.
• Preparing the base coat, apply pigmented thermo gel varnish. It is important to paint the nails with a thin and uniform layer: a dense and thick layer will not hold on the nails for a long time. It can swell or form waves when it is dried in a lamp.

• In addition to the main coating after the coating layer, you can apply drawings to the surface of the nail or do a stamping.
• After the pigment, a fixer is applied - a top coating. The thickness of the layer may be more dense, but it will also require more drying time in the lamp (in ultraviolet rays 3 - 4 minutes, in a LED-lamp - 1 minute).
• The final touch of the manicure is the removal of the dispersion layer (residual stickiness). For this purpose, a special alcohol-containing solution and soft napkins without lint are used.
• AT the end of the procedure, you can put oil on the cuticle. It is better to moisturize the skin of the hands with a nourishing cream or oil (coconut, olive or almond).

Professional gel-based cosmetic preparations can be dried with two types of lamps: ultraviolet and LED. Experienced craftsmen working in beauty salons and at home, use different devices. LED lamp is considered a professional device.it dries the gel polish faster. The time of polymerization of one layer in it is from 10 to 30 seconds. This is a powerful device that reduces the total time of the manicure procedure. However, it does not dry all branded products.

UV lamp is considered a standard device.It has compact dimensions and dries absolutely any thermal coating in 2 minutes (each layer). Choosing such a model, you need to buy a lamp with a power of 36 watts. This is enough not to spoil the coating and not to damage the skin of the hands.

We recommend to watch the following video on the choice of lamps and their comparison.

Thermal gel lacquers have the same shelf life as other gel-based coatings. Usually it is indicated on the bottle itself or on the package and is from two to three years from the date of manufacture of the product. During this time, the components that make up the gel varnish do not change their properties, so the product characteristics are as stated.

However, a lot depends on the master, who works with thermo gel varnish. With proper storage and use of the tool it can be long enough even when idle. When opening the bottle, the volatile liquid is pushed to the surface, so the texture will become thicker.

To extend the shelf life of thermo gel polish, you need to close the bottle during the procedure of polymerization of the manicure. In addition, at the end of the work you need to remove the remaining gel polish from the neck, and then tightly close the bottle and put it in a cool place away from the sun's rays.

Gel-varnishes, chameleons for nails can be a variety of shades. Conventionally, they can be divided into several groups:

1. Pastel gamma. These are mainly light and delicate shades with a soft color transition. The group includes soft transitions beige and brown, white and pink, powdery and brick, pink and purple, olive and bronze. This is a bright range of colors.
2. Juicy tones. Muted, but saturated colors with a smooth transition. This is a large range, shades which are suitable for any season. The palette includes bright and calm combinations of yellow, orange, light green, pink tones, as well as shades of fuchsia, ultramarine, saturated blue and many others.
3. Contrasts. Pronounced transition of two, three contrasting shades. These can be sharp combinations of light and dark hues, warm and cold colors (silver + purple, scarlet + black, crimson + dark blue and others).

The temperature gel polish looks much better on long nails. However, more natural nail length is in fashion today. This makes hue transition less pronounced. Performing a manicure with thermo lacquer, you need to consider that with its help some types of design are perfectly realized:

• French manicure. French turns upside down: the shade of the free edge will be darker than the base. And the width of the “smile” itself depends on the length of the nails.
• Tri-color coating. Such gel polishes are more sensitive to temperature changes. They form three main tones and two intermediate.
• Gradient. First you need to apply the usual pigmented gel polish, and after the second layer to cover the surface of the nail with thermal varnish, choosing it with soft transitions in the tone of the base.

• Stamping The unusual idea is to apply thermo gel varnish on a pigmented gel varnish of a different color.The effect of manicure will be simply amazing: not only the pattern will change, but also the background base.
• Glitter and microblasts. They should be applied when it is already noticeable, as in the given temperature conditions the finished coating looks. Cover the nail can be in the form of a moon manicure, french, completely, partially, diagonally.
• Rhinestones. With their help, you can make a festive mood in any kind of gel polish. They add spectacularity, perfectly combined with stamping, sparkles.
