Those who do not like to go without nail polish and at the same time do not have the opportunity to constantly repaint them, we can advise you to use a more stable shellac coating. Its color palette allows you to choose an acceptable everyday option and create a bright solemn look, taking into account personal preferences.
Most popular shades
During the summer, when many office workers are on vacation, bright colors are in high demand. In salons, all shades of pink, yellow, green, turquoise and crimson are in great demand. Before a long trip to a resort or just to the sea, most fashionistas try to apply shellac on their hands and feet. The palette of colors, as a rule, is selected for a bathing suit or simply taking into account the wardrobe. However, pastel colors are practically not used during the holiday seasons.
As for spring and autumn, here, on the contrary, women who are forced to comply with the dress code apply a jacket or just soft shades. Those who work without restrictions in choiceclothing, cosmetics and accessories often use red or dark shades of shellac. The palette on the nails sometimes differs from the color of the bottle (this is due to their opacity). So the shade should be chosen taking into account this feature.
Technology
Hypothetically, shellac can be applied independently at home. The only nuance that needs to be taken into account is the high cost of all the necessary materials and the lamp with which the coating dries. The fact is that shellac becomes hard only under the influence of ultraviolet light. And this means that you can’t do without a special lamp. As a rule, it pays off quite quickly, due to the high cost of the coating itself in the cabin. But this is not all expenses. It is necessary to purchase a base, as well as a top coat, which makes the manicure durable and resistant to damage. And, of course, you will need several shades of shellac. Its palette is constantly changing, new fashionable colors appear. However, their cost does not always make it possible to buy new items for home use. After all, the bottle is designed for a fairly large number of coatings, which is quite acceptable for the salon and not very beneficial for personal use.
As for the technology itself, everything is quite simple and logical. To begin with, the nails should be degreased with nail polish remover, and also wiped dry with a napkin. Then the foundation is applied to them and dried with a lamp for 2 minutes (each hand separately). HowAs a rule, there is a special timer for this. The next 2 coats are the shellac color coating (the palette allows you to choose one or more shades). Each must be dried in the same way as the base. The manicure is completed with a finishing layer, which must be applied to the entire plate, as well as to the end of the nail to seal the color. Then the hands are again sent under the lamp. The final touch - with the help of nail polish remover and napkins, the sticky layer is washed off. Next, you can apply cream on your hands, and oil on the cuticle area.
Flaws of shellac coating
The color palette of this coating during its appearance on the market was rather poor. So there wasn't much choice, unfortunately. Manufacturers of gel polishes have long corrected this shortcoming, so you can buy virtually any shade. Of the minuses, there are, perhaps, the difficulties associated with removing the coating (for this, usually a finger with cotton wool moistened with a special liquid is wrapped in foil, which is not very good for the skin), as well as the fact that many people get bored with monotony. For those who grow nails quickly, there is still a problem with the need to change the coating often. Otherwise, those who use this tool are satisfied with it.
