No mistakes: what are you doing wrong when applying gel polish

Gel polish can be called a relative novelty (appeared in 2010) in the world of the nail industry. The novelty, which has become revolutionary, is still relevant and is not going to give up its positions.  

Gel polish – resistant and at the same time plastic coating for nails, which does not chip off, has no smell, fits and stays on the nails remarkably well, and also dries quickly under a UV lamp. All this, of course, provided that the product is of high quality.

So, what are the mistakes made when applying gel polish?

Don't forget about cuticle oil

No special products will adversely affect the durability of shellac. Immediately after it dries, you can apply whatever you want – lotions, creams, oils. So, moisturizing oil helps to keep manicure neat for much longer. After all, if the cuticle and nails are quickly deprived of moisture, then the coating may crack ahead of time. 

Do not mix different varnishes

Gel coatings for nails of different production differ both in composition and in structure. All stages of application and removal are carefully calculated and complement each other, so if your goal is – even and resistant coating, it is worth choosing one manufacturer in this area. & nbsp; If you do experiments in terms of mixing nail coatings from different manufacturers, then you may encounter problems both when applying and removing manicure. In particular, a primer designed to degrease the nail and is responsible for the degree of strength of the adhesion to the coating may "come into conflict" with the coating. with a product of a different production and then it will not work, and the shellac will peel off after a few days.

Don't remove your hands from under the lamp before waiting for the signal 

The timer in a special drying lamp is not in vain set for a certain time, because in order for the shellac applied to the nails to last longer, every second is important. Therefore, if you remove your hands from under the lamp even for a few moments (for example, to quickly answer a phone call), be aware that at this very time the coating may deteriorate.

Do not remove the coating yourself

In this case, do everything correctly – very difficult. When using a file, there is a high risk of serious damage to the nails: they can crack, become rough. Or, if the gel polish is soaked with foil and does not completely come off, its remnants are often removed with part of the nail plate – its top layer. Therefore, it is best to remove shellac in the salon.

Do not tear off peeling edges

Having discovered that the gel polish has peeled off along the edges of the nail plate on one or another finger, many fashionistas either rip off the beauty product or bite it. However, often the nail plate itself is injured in this way: after all, there are great chances to remove its upper layer as well. Contact the salon for nail correction (this will be done so that the flaws will not be noticeable and, perhaps – this is often practiced – for free).

And one more not superfluous mention. Experts advise: shellac coating can be applied without harm to the health of nails for 2 months, after which a break is needed and either you should do a manicure using ordinary varnish, or (best of all) do without it for some time.

Most importantly, if you apply for the procedure of applying or shellac removal to a beauty salon, you should not forget that it must be a trusted institution, otherwise you cannot avoid another serious mistake – serious damage to the nail plate.

Be healthy and beautiful!
