Drying lamp and other purchases
Is it possible to learn to work with gel varnishes on your own? There is nothing complicated in this. The technology of nail covering gel varnishes is so simple that even a non -professional person will cope with this. The main thing is to buy everything you need.
So, what materials will be needed to cover nails with gel varnish at home? First of all, you will need to buy UV lamp. The fact is that the gel varnishes harden only under the influence of ultraviolet rays. They will not dry on their own, like ordinary varnishes, no matter how hard you try. A small lamp with a capacity of 9 watts is suitable for home use. In it, the gel varnish dries for 3 minutes. More powerful — 36 W allow reducing the time to 1 minute.
In addition to the lamp and, in fact, the gel varnish, you will need several more funds:
The primer, which cleanses and degreases the nail plate (so that the coating does not exfoliate, the nail should be as clean as possible);
a special basic coating that is applied to the nail and provide a good hitch;
finish or top (some manufacturers sell 2-B-1 products: the basic and finish coating in 1 bottle);
Special liquid for removing the sticky layer that completes the procedure. Some masters use alcohol solution instead;
coarse -grained buff for washing the upper keratin layer.
Nail covering technology gel polish
To start covering nails with varnish gel at home, you need to prepare a nail plate. For this, a manicure is performed — a classic wiped or European. The main thing is to push the cuticle and remove the ptergium tissue from the nail. This is necessary so that the gel varnish does not exfoliate. In addition, the most beautiful glossy coating on groomed nails will look inaccurate.
Coverage sequence with gel polish:
With the help of coarse -grained buff, the surface of the nail is slightly shut. No need to try too much. You just have to raise the upper scales, making the nail rough.
The nail plate is cleaned and degreased using a primer (boonda, reintering, drainage-each manufacturer calls it differently).
A basic colorless gel is applied to the surface of the nail. It provides the resistance of the entire manicure and protects the nail from colored pigments. The basic gel is applied to 1 layer, it must be dried (polymerized) in UV lamp.
After that, you can cover the nail with a layer of varnish gel. And dry again in a lamp. Apply a colored gel with thin layers, evenly distributing it over the surface of the nail plate. Important: if you plan to cover the nail in 2-3 layers, then you need to dry each layer in the lamp.
After the last layer of gel polish dries, a finish (top) coating is applied to the nail. It is necessary to «seal» the end of the nail with a top so that the gel varnish does not exfoliate from the tip of the nail when pressed. Performing homework, women often injure the tip of the nail and the varnish can slightly exfoliate. The finish gel prevents this process, preserving the manicure intact. It also polymerizes in UV lamp.
In conclusion, you should not forget to remove the sticky layer using a special tool that is applied to a cotton swab.
Nail covering technology gel varnish is very simple. The main thing is to remember about all stages. And beautiful nails will delight their mistress for a long time.
