What you need to know about gel polish? Application at home.

The modern cosmetics industry is taking rapid steps forward. Let's remember, twenty years ago, women painted nails with monophonic varnishes, and did not even think that in the future they would be able to decorate them not only with different colors, but also with unique drawings, rhinestones, stickers and sculpting.
But as everyone knows, even the most expensive varnishes are able to stay without chips for only a few days. Moreover, if the hands were constantly under the influence of water, then the toe of such a varnish was sharply reduced.
Probably no one wants to remember that the application procedure itself brings a lot of inconvenience and discomfort. It is at such moments that a woman becomes "helpless." All this helplessness lasts about ten minutes (and in rare cases, longer). After all, if at this time you touch a non-dried varnish, then it is lubricated.
But modern cosmetics manufacturers have decided to create a lasting alternative to conventional varnishes. Long laboratory studies have helped to release a miracle gel varnishes. Surely a woman who once used them will never want to return to ordinary varnishes. And also gel varnishes are able to strengthen the nail plate.
Many girls gel polishes are mistakenly called shellacs. But let's dispel this myth forever. The fact is that Sellak is the name of CND gel polish, and not a generic name for the product. In general, in simple terms, gel polish consists of a varnish pigmented component and a gel base. It is because of the gel that such coatings can last on the nails for up to three weeks.
It is simple to apply gel polish, but without the base and top, the gel will simply not hold on. This kit is not worth saving. After all, it is because of these funds that the duration of gel polish wear depends.
Gel polish is not air-dried, unlike conventional varnishes. For polymerization, a special LED or ultraviolet lamp is required. Also on sale are compact Led flashlights. Of course, it is most convenient to use the Led lamp, it polymerizes the gel varnish within thirty seconds. While in a UV lamp, drying will take about two minutes. LED Led flashlight will dry gel polish in one minute. The minus of flashlights is that each nail will have to be dried separately.
Step-by-step application of gel polishes + water slider design at home
First you need to prepare the nail plate. Buff carefully cut the top layer of the nail. But no need to overdo it. This is done in order to remove the gloss from the nail for better adhesion of the material.
The next step is degreasing. To do this, you can use special tools, or regular medical alcohol.
We apply the base and dry in a lamp or using a flashlight.
Next, you should apply the gel polish itself. A layer that should be very thin. The number of layers applied will depend on the pigmentation of the gel polish.
Each applied layer must be polymerized in a lamp. The tips of the nails need to be sealed with a base, gel polish and top.
We shave the slider with stickers and cut it out.
Remove the protective film. This must be done, because a manicure simply will not work.
Dip them into the water.
Then, with a gentle movement, remove the paper backing and glue on the nail, smoothing the folds.
We cut off the rest of the sticker with a file.
Apply a layer of top and dry in a lamp.
It should be remembered that some tops have a sticky layer, which must be removed by special means.
It is impossible that the base, top or gel polish itself get on the cuticle or skin. After all, this will entail peeling of the coating.
