In order for the manicure to hold on for a long time and look beautiful, before it was necessary to first build up the nails, and then cover them with varnish. For a greater effect, the coating was fixed with special tools, which were required to dry under an ultraviolet lamp. But still, beauty deteriorated too fast. Fortunately, a ready-made product appeared on the market, which is a kind of hybrid of varnish and gel-gel polish.
The pluses of the means
You can apply gel polish with ordinary brushes. A means of this kind lasts on nails for 3 weeks, maintaining the original appearance. It does not utter, does not lubricate and does not increase the weight of the nails. Gel polish does not cause allergies, but dries a few minutes after application. This is achieved due to the presence of various solvents, monomers and polymers in the tool.
How to make a manicure
The technique of performing manicure using gel varnishes is not much different from the traditional method of nail care. So, first, a woman needs to make a dry manicure, push the cuticle and grind the nail plate. Grinding is needed so that the gel polish is better kept on the nails.
Gel polish is applied exactly as the usual. The lighter it is, the more layers you need to apply to get a uniform deep tone. Each of the layers must be dried with an ultraviolet lamp.
Important information
Within 48 hours after performing the manicure, it is recommended to avoid long contact of the hands with warm water. On the third day, you can already safely splash under the shower and lie in the bathroom. Gel polish, finally dried up, becomes immune not only to water, but also of various kinds of fruit acids, soft abrasives.
Having decided to do cleaning and washing, put on rubber gloves. Fields for washing floors and windows contain chemicals that can destroy the varnish coating. However, it is better not to contact household chemicals without manicure, because it can cause allergies and irritation.
Drying technique
Gel polish is dried according to the principle of 4-4-2. That is, you first need to dry the nails of four fingers of the right hand, then with the 4th left, and in conclusion-2 thumbs. If you use an ultraviolet lamp for 9 watts, dry the varnish with it for at least 3 minutes. In this case, you can and should use the timer to facilitate the task.
Safety of use
Name gel polish therapeutic and super-useful one cannot. At the same time, it does not destroy the nail plate. To take care of the health of natural nails, experts sometimes advise you to give them rest from various coatings. This rule applies to gel polish, and to all other similar means.
