Not so long ago, manicure masters used acrylic paints for nail design. With their help, it was possible to create beautiful drawings, but they differed in fragility. In just a few days, the drawing could be damaged by household chemicals or even a little housework.
Gel Nail Paint
To solve this problem, many manufacturers of nail extension materials have come up with a new material. So there was a gel-paint for nails. This is a kind of hybrid of paint and gel, which can only dry with an ultraviolet lamp. Now clients have the opportunity to enjoy exquisite patterns on their nails until the next correction.
Features of use
Gel-paint for nails has a dense texture, rich color. Its main advantage is that it does not spread over the surface of the nail at all. This enables the master to work out the most subtle details of a pattern or pattern. They can create not only planar drawings, but also artistic painting. A large color palette helps the master to cope with complex ideas. After the drawing is ready, it is dried in an ultraviolet lamp for 3minutes and covered with a non-tacky topcoat.
Gel nail paint is perfect for French manicure. The smile line is carefully drawn with a thin or beveled brush, applying paint to the free edge in an even layer. Thanks to such a large selection of colors, the jacket can be diversified by making it decorative or painted.
One of the main features of gel paints is the ability to mix them with each other, achieving new shades. Their quality does not suffer from mixing, but opens up the possibility of new creative experiments.
So, in order to start designing, you need to purchase a set of gel paints of primary colors and a set of special brushes for painting.
Most Popular Manufacturers
There are a huge number of manufacturers on the market of the nail industry who offer their products to manicure masters. The most popular among professionals are gel paint for nail design by Emi, Irisk, Magic, Creator and Kodi. All paints are produced in volumes of 5 gr. The main difference between them is the cost, density, palette variety.
The most expensive is Emi gel nail polish, as it is made in Germany by special order and is of the highest quality. Also, Emi developed and patented a special black gel, with which it became possible to create a design using the "casting" technique.
Irisk's color palette is not as rich as Emi's. Most gel colors are lightshades and pastel colors. With their help, you can decorate the nails for those who do not like catchy patterns and bright colors. The rest of the manufacturers are distinguished by fairly moderate prices for gel paints, as well as good quality.
Kodi gel paints can be called a worthy analogue of Emi. However, Kodi is not suitable for creating a French manicure smile line. If the design takes up most of the nail, then it is recommended to cover it first with a thin layer of transparent gel, and only then with a topcoat.
Thus, each master can assemble his own collection of paints for work and creativity.
Reviews of masters
Reviews of masters working with gel paints of a particular brand are varied, but generally positive. Each brand has its own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is recommended not to be limited to only one type of gel paints, but to use their different combinations in your work. It is very important for craftsmen to attend seminars, which show all the subtleties of work when creating a design, reveal the secrets and features of the products of each manufacturer.
