The concept of grooming consists of many factors. An integral part of this category are well-groomed hands and a beautiful manicure. Women's hands do housework, which often leads to disastrous results: delamination of nails, brittleness, dry cuticles and the inability to have a beautiful manicure. It is worth noting that ordinary varnishes on dried nail platinum hold much less. Knowing about all these difficulties, manufacturers of nail products offered an innovative solution - a symbiosis of gel and varnish.
The tool was named so: gel polish. On the one hand, the coating has the qualities of a nail modeling gel - it protects the surface from physical and chemical damage. On the other hand, gel polish that does not require drying, placed in a convenient bottle, has the maximum resemblance to ordinary polish, which allows it to be applied at home. No special skills are required to use it.
Benefits of gel polish

Gel polish makes nails well-groomed, strong and he althy, allowing the regeneration process to take place. Unlike acrylic and gel masses for modeling, gel polish does not require preliminary washing down of the nail plate, which leads to its deformation and thinning. Gel polish without drying in a lamp does not polymerize, respectively, does not acquire hardness and strength.

Fortified gel polish without drying in a lamp - myth or reality?
