Manicure with gel-varnish at home

Many women prefer to do manicure in beauty salons using gel-varnishes. This nail coating differs from the usual one in that it can last about a month without losing its original appearance. Gel-lacquer looks almost the same as the standard, but it can only dry under ultraviolet rays. If desired, it can be applied at home, by purchasing a special kit for this procedure for 3 000-6 000 rubles. Separately, you will need to buy gel varnishes, for example, from the Masura brand. They differ in rich colors, durability and at the same time have an affordable price. After that, you can start creating a manicure.

What tools will be needed for the procedure?

A beautiful manicure using gel-varnishes will be obtained only if a woman acquires for the procedure all the necessary tools. Most of them are in ready-made sets, which are sold on the Internet. Applying gel-lacquer at home, it will be possible to save money, which have to be given in beauty salons for manicure. Set for applying gel-varnish will pay off after a few procedures performed at home.

You will need:

• nail file;
• colorless base;
• degreaser;
• bond (a means for drying the nail plate);
• primer;
• top cover;
• colored gel-varnishes;

If all of the listed items are there, then you can begin the procedure.

Step-by-step instruction

It should immediately warn that the creation of a manicure with gel-lacquer will take from 30 minutes or more. Perhaps for the first time it will not be possible to achieve an ideal result. However, if you follow the instructions clearly, you will get a good manicure. The main thing is not to rush and miss the steps, as each of them is important.

Stages:

1. Treat the nails with a special nail file. Give them the right shape, and also remove the cuticle. You can go through the nail file on the surface of the nails to make it rough. So the varnish is better to grapple with the nails.
2. Degrease all plates with a lint-free cloth.
3. Apply the bond and the primer. They will take care that the gel-lacquer lasts as long as possible and does not exfoliate before it was laid.
4. When the preparation of the nails is finished, apply a transparent base.
5. Take the base gel-lacquer. In appearance, it will be as normal, and it will have to be applied using a brush. It is important not to go beyond the plate, otherwise the base after drying will cause unpleasant sensations and quickly lag behind.
6. After applying the varnish, do not touch the nails. They should be immediately placed in an ultraviolet lamp for about 30 seconds.
7. Now you need to add a color coating. Apply it to a thin layer, since the fat will quickly fall behind the nail. It is important to ensure that the gel-varnish is distributed evenly, otherwise the manicure will look ugly.
8. When the colored layer is applied, it will be necessary to place the nails in the ultraviolet lamp for about 2 minutes. After that, you need to apply another one of the same layer and put the nails in the lamp again. At this stage, you can not touch the nails, if you do not want to spoil everything.
9. Now it is necessary to apply a top coat, sealing the end. It will need to polymerize and then remove the sticky surface with a cloth with a degreaser.
10. Finally, you can moisten the cuticle with a special oil.

If everything was done correctly, then the manicure will be ready. It lasts in excellent condition from 1 week to a month.
