Technique of manicure gel varnish

  1. First, the nails undergo standard processing: an antibacterial agent is applied to the plates, removed or with the help of an orange stick the cuticle moves, giving shape to the free edge.
  2. Then the plates are processed by the buff. It is necessary to remove the glossy layer from the nails so that they become matte, but you should not apply excessive diligence and cut it off too much so as not to thin the plates.
  3. Next, apply a layer of base for gel polish, and then for solidification of the base layer, the hand goes under the lamp for about 10 seconds. The base serves to protect the plates from the pigments of gel polish and provides adhesion of the nails and all subsequent layers.
  4. If you are performing a monochrome manicure, the next step is applying a color coating. It should be applied according to the principle of ordinary lacquer: first, a drop of the coating is placed on the tip of the nail, then a line from the hole to the edge is drawn, then a part of the nail is cut at the cuticle, the sides of the nail are covered and finally the edge is sealed with one movement. All layers of material should be thin.
  5. Color coating should be dried in a UV lamp for about 2 minutes. If you use a LED-lamp, half a minute will be enough. Some coatings are applied in a dense layer and do not require duplication, but often, so that the nail is not visible through the material, a second layer is applied. Each layer must be dried in the lamp until complete polymerization.
  6. The final stage is the top layer. After drying for 2 minutes in a UV lamp or half a minute polymerization in a LED lamp, the dispersion layer is removed with a special wicker fluid.
