However, the fashion for its tones is changing, and women are choosing these new lacquer colors to stay in trend.

Today we will talk about powder manicure options.
How to do a manicure with gel polish?
Today, few women use ordinary lacquer coatings. More and more preference is given to gel polish. The excitement around the fashion trend is quite understandable. After all, in addition to an amazing glossy finish, gel polish manicure has amazing durability, about 15–20 days. Agree, this is a real relief for women all over the world, who no longer need to repaint their nails every 3-4 days.
If you want to learn how to makegel polish manicure at home, we recommend that you follow our instructions step by step.
- Any manicure should start with a hand bath. To do this, dip your hands in warm water with any useful additive (essential oil, sea s alt, special product) and hold them there for 10-15 minutes.
- After the time has passed, remove your hands and start processing the cuticle. If you have not yet mastered the cut manicure or are simply afraid to do it yourself, just push the cuticle back with a special orange stick. A pusher is also suitable for these purposes. File your nails into a nice, neat shape.
- Degrease your nails with a special liquid and a lint-free wipe. Apply primer to them. These two items are a must if you want to wear your manicure for as long as possible. The primer dries on its own and does not require drying under the lamp.
- The next step is applying the base. Regardless of which base you choose, it should be applied in a very thin layer. After application, place your hands under the lamp so that each nail is well lit by the rays. Drying time depends on the power of the lamp, on average 30-60 seconds are enough for the gel polish to adhere to the nail plate.
- Apply a thin layer of colored gel polish on your nails. If the gel structure is transparent, it is recommended to apply 2 or 3 coats, drying each one.
- The final stage is the finishing coat. There are 2 types of finish: with a sticky layer and without it. The second option is less problematic in work and does not require removal of this stickiness. If ayour top coat belongs to the first option, then after drying it, wipe the nails with a degreaser. Another important technique for maintaining the durability of a manicure with gel polish is sealing the ends of the nail. With a semi-dry brush with a top, walk along the edges of the nail plate and only then dry in a lamp.
