Without a manicure, as well as without the right accessories, it is difficult to create a truly worthy and complete image. Modern technologies for coating nails allow you to extend the beauty of manicure (up to 4 weeks). This is not fantasy. Gel polish is an innovative solution that allows you not to resort to extensions. The technology for applying gel polish is quite simple, but requires certain rules to be followed.
Preparation
Of course, first you need to get a manicure. This is the first rule. What type of manicure to choose? It's up to you to decide. It can be a hardware manicure, edged or European. The technology of applying gel polish implies the absence of any cream on the hands, not only at the time of applying the material, but also on this day in general. After the manicure is done, you can proceed to the next step. This is the degreasing of the nail plate. You can do it likespecial means, and simple alcohol. It is very important not to touch your nails afterwards.
Procedure
You need to file your nails even during a manicure. If you neglected this, then you need to remove the length and shape it before the plates are degreased. The dust that forms must be removed very carefully. If this is not done, then there is a risk that the material will peel off, lie unevenly, chip and peel off. When all the manipulations are done, you can begin the procedure itself. Gel polish application technology obliges to follow all these steps:
- first apply the base under the gel polish;
- dry it in a UV lamp or LED lamp for as long as indicated in the instructions on the bottle;
- then apply a thin layer of colored gel polish (carefully squeeze the brush on the edges of the bottle);
- dry the layer in the lamp as long as the instructions require;
- apply a second layer of colored gel polish if necessary;
- dry the same amount as the first layer;
- then apply a finish or fixative (on the bottle it says: TOP COAT);
- dry it according to the instructions on the bottle.
It is noteworthy that the material of different companies has a different consistency: from very thick to very liquid. It is important to ensure that the gel polish does not flow onto the cuticle or side ridges. If this happens, then you need to remove the excess with a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover, and be careful not to smear the entire gel polish. Application technology also implies a certainorder:
- first four fingers on one hand (except the thumb; if right-handed, then on the right);
- then four fingers of the other hand;
- then on the thumbs of both hands.
This is due to convenience. It's easier to dry your nails in a lamp. Even the most simple and low-power (9 watts, for example).
Lots of options
Modern nail art companies offer a huge number of options. One of the best, but budgetary, is Lidan gel polish. The application technology is no different from that described. Drying time in the lamp - 60 seconds. This is for a power of 36 watts. The LED lamp allows you to dry each layer in 30 seconds. Depending on what type of equipment you are using, the time may vary. The technology of applying gel polish is simple, does not require special skills. Any beginner can handle this, even if not always the first time.
