Gel polish for nails

Today, beauty institutes and nail salons offer several techniques that allow you to remain beautiful to the tips of your nails. But how do you choose between semi-permanent polish and gel nails? You can see the varnishes in the gel polish store by clicking on the link.

This article details these two methods to help you choose the one that best suits your lifestyle and taste.

Semi-permanent varnish

This is a liquid gel that is applied to the natural nail to give it a look that resembles classic nail polish. After hardening, the material retains its elasticity.

The installation consists of the preparation of natural nails and the subsequent application of an adhesive base coat. We then apply two coats of color and, as a final step, apply a topcoat that will protect and make your nails shine.

Each layer will be catalyzed under a UV or UV/LED lamp.

With this technique, you can also order a white or colored jacket, as well as simple nail art.

Advantages of permanent varnish

• The insertion technique is fast, about 1/2 hour for an experienced prosthetist.
• Your nails will remain flawlessly polished without flaking off the first courses. They will be a little stronger and easier to grow.
• To remove resistant varnish, we use a cosmetic remover that melts the material, which avoids damage to the natural nail by filing it.

Disadvantages of a semi-permanent

• A durable varnish remains on the natural nail, which does not prevent breakage.
• The duration of your pose is 2-3 weeks. The possibilities of nail art are limited because the surface is small.
• You can not lengthen the nails; We work only on natural length.

UV gel

Gel is a material that hardens after passing under a lamp. It comes in a variety of colors, textures and features. It can be applied to a natural nail, in capsules or as a stencil.

The installation consists of preparing the natural nail, then applying the base, nail extension and/or construction. Then the surface of the gel will be filed to make it visually harmonious. The next step will depend on your preference, French or color applied in 1 or 2 coats or leave natural. Finally, a glittery gloss will be applied to sublimate your pose for at least 3 weeks.

To cure all stages, the gel undergoes a catalytic treatment under a UV or UV/LED lamp.
