Preparing the nail plate before applying gel polish

For good adhesion of the gel polish to the nail plate, you should adhere to a clear work order:

1. Elimination of cuticles.
2. Grinding the nail plate.
3. Degreasing.
4. Bond application.

Use a manicure stick to free the nail from the cuticle, cutting it along the edge. The skin around the nail is treated, removing the dead tissue.

When polishing the nail, use soft files with an abrasiveness of 18 grit. Both the surface of the nail and the protruding part are polished.

The formed fine dust is removed and the nail plate is degreased with Gel Cleanser. This is the most common name for this tool. Other names are fraser, dihydrator, etc.

The purpose of the treatment is to remove excess moisture, grease and dust from the sanded surface of the nail.

It is important to know! Use any lint-free material for cleaning. Cotton pads can leave an inconspicuous pile, and after covering the nail with gel polish, it may quickly peel off.

Bond Control application. Bond is produced by many manufacturers of gel varnishes - its purpose is to improve the adhesion of the varnish to the nail and to protect possible places of salt. The bond is applied to the entire nail or along its perimeter. Air-dry for 30-40 seconds.

Basic coverage

Many manufacturers combine base and top - releasing this material in one bottle. In the two-phase technique of applying gel polish, the base is not applied. In a three-phase system, the base is always applied and the protruding part of the nail - the butt - is necessarily sealed. Dry the base for 30-60 seconds under the LED lamp.

Color application

It is recommended to apply two layers of gel polish to evenly cover the entire nail plate. Those gel polishes that have a rich color and density can be applied in one layer. After drying, rub in is applied. In some techniques, drying of the colored layer is not used. Rubbing takes place on wet varnish.

The final stage when applying gel polish

Top application is the end of the manicure. After drying the top, a sticky layer remains. It is removed with a cleanser, applied to the nail and wiped. There are tops without a sticky layer, in this case wiping with a cleanser can be excluded.

Why does gel polish peel off

Chips when wearing gel polishes can occur for several reasons. The most common are:

• Incorrect technology for applying gel polish or ignorance of how to properly rub on the gel polish.
• Problem nails. If the nails are weakened, bend, exfoliate, apply a mandatory base coat. Long length is undesirable with such nails.
• Individual intolerance to the material. This reason is quite rare. Sometimes an exacerbation of allergies in the spring or taking medications during an illness can be a provoking factor.
• Mechanical damage. Although gel polish is quite scratch and abrasion resistant, physical work, working with chemicals and without gloves can damage the varnish.
• Poor quality material.

Errors in the technology of rubbing on gel polish

1. The first mistake when applying the rub - poor pre-treatment of the nail plate. For any irregularities in the nail, rubbing will immediately show a flaw. It will be difficult to disguise it with an additional layer of varnish. The use of komofubiks will lead to the fact that with an uneven surface they will quickly fall off.
2. Soft nails. If the nails are weak, bent, then rub gently with a soft brush, without strong pressure on the nail. Pre-shorten the nail plate to a minimum.
3. If, in the process of rubbing using the technique on wet varnish, varnish flows to the cuticle, - such gel polish should be dried and rubbed onto the dried surface.

When choosing a rub-in design, you should not blindly follow fashion, you always need to take into account the general style in clothes and accessories, situations are possible when a beautiful rub-in technique does not look harmonious with the chosen style in clothes and makeup.

Experiments with different colors of decorative coatings will help you develop your personality, which is always beautiful and attractive.
