Today, a flawless manicure is an integral part of the image of a modern, successful woman. Well-groomed hands with neat nails make the image complete, so we use the services of nail service masters. But the lacquer coatings we are accustomed to on the nails last for a very short time: from three to seven days, which, given the modern rhythm of life, is not entirely inconvenient. Therefore, today, manicure with gel polish is gaining more and more popularity. One of the highest quality is Gelish gel polish. Reviews of this tool receives extremely positive. This article is about this innovative product.
What is gel polish?
From the name itself it is clear - this is a mixture of varnish and gel. The gel is able to adhere tightly to the nail plate, so it is often used in nail extensions. However, during the procedure, your own nail undergoes significant processing: a thin layer is cut off, and this negatively affects its condition. That is why many women refuse to get nail extensions.
Later, a more gentle procedure appeared in beauty salons - strengthening the nail platebiogel. This tool has a number of advantages. In addition to strengthening properties, it prevents cracking of nails. It is also very important that under the biogel the nail plate can breathe, which means that the harm to your own nails will be minimal. They produce such coatings in various colors, so they can be used as an independent tool, without the subsequent application of varnish.
Every woman is familiar with the usual varnish. Thanks to a wide choice of shades, our marigolds can look varied and beautiful. However, the disadvantages of such a coating are obvious: it takes a long time to dry the varnish after application, and such a manicure will not last long.
Gel polish combines the best properties of nail polish and gel. Externally, there are no differences between a manicure with gel polish and regular polish. However, in the first case, it will last much longer: at least three weeks. At the same time, its original appearance will be preserved. With the use of gel polish, native nails will become stronger. Also an indisputable advantage is the instant coating effect: there is no drying process itself.
