Manicure gel-varnish at home: step by step instruction

Long-term coating for nails is called in different ways: both shellac and gel-varnish. The meaning remains one - the material is a hybrid of gel and lacquer. It is applied easily, but lasts a very long time - up to 27 days. Manicure gel-varnish at home can be done, but you must adhere to strict rules.

General information

Initially, a hybrid of gel and nail polish was called only Shellac. He first appeared in the company CND (American brand), specializing in hand care products. This innovation was quickly picked up by other companies, which also began to actively produce gel varnishes. It is noteworthy that it is Shellac that keeps on the nails for as long as 4 weeks. And it is much easier to apply than materials from other companies.

Nail preparation

Manicure (a step-by-step procedure will be discussed below) is performed in several actions. The first of these is preparation. Manicure, made with his own hands, does not differ from salon. And you need to prepare your nails the same way. The first thing to do is wash your hands with soap and then wipe them with a soft towel. After this, it is recommended to disinfect the fingers with an antiseptic. For example, with ant or boric alcohol - these are very cheap products that can be purchased at a pharmacy. The free edge of the nail is filed with a soft file to give a certain identical shape. The cuticle is also subject to processing.

What to do with the cuticle

It is not recommended to use the trimming method to remove the cuticle. First, there is a risk of injury with sharp instruments. Secondly, if the material gets on the cuticle treated in this way, unpleasant burning will be felt, since the skin is very tender and sensitive after the cut. Manicure gel-varnish at home, and in the salon, too, involves the removal of dead areas with a special tool. A softener for the cuticle not only makes it more pliable, but also facilitates its easy removal. In addition, you can remove excess skin with a special manicure device, if it is at hand.

What materials are needed

It is worthwhile in advance to prepare all the materials that will be required when working. They are not so much, but without them manicure with their own hands can not be done with all the desire:

  • Top for gel-varnish;
  • Colored gel-varnish;
  • Finish coat;
  • Cuticle oil ;
  • Means for removal of gel-varnish (remover).

Agree, not the most extensive list. Before you do a manicure gel-varnish, it is desirable to make sure that the funds are suitable for each other. If they are all the same firm, then problems should arise. It is worth remembering immediately that not all brands are compatible with each other. So, for example, if the top and color gel-varnish of different companies, then the period of preservation of the integrity of the coating can be shortened. This is, rather, an exception than the rule, but you need to consider everything in advance.

Tools for manicure

The list of necessary tools is also not too big:

  • Nail file for natural nails;
  • Orange sticks or pusher (not metallic);
  • UV-lamp (for the house will approach and small on 9 W);
  • Flat brush for gel.

The latter is required only if the gel-lacquer is too liquid or thick consistency. It is easier to apply it with a flat brush, the result is neater.

Technology of simple application of gel-varnish

The advantage of shellacs is that they are easy to apply. After the nails are prepared, they are covered with top. The layer is thin and transparent, as a substrate when growing. It is dried in the UV lamp for a few seconds. After that, apply a thin layer of colored gel-varnish. To make it thick for saturation of a shade it is not necessary, differently the material will be broken off and bubble up at drying. In the lamp nails need to hold a little longer than the top - about 60-90 seconds. If a saturated color is required, then the action is repeated. The final stage is the final gel-lacquer. They cover not only the nail plates, but also the ends, so that the manicure does not spill. Use the final means for building is not recommended, otherwise it will be very difficult to remove. The manicure, step by step described above, is as simple as possible in performance.

Tricks

Manicure gel-varnish at home is often complicated by the fact that the colored material is too small. But there is a little trick, how to get much more out of two shades. They need to be simply mixed in a palette, like a paint. If this option does not work with a simple nail varnish, then it is quite possible with gel varnishes. First, the funds of one firm usually have the same consistency. Secondly, they are well combined. In order not to acquire large palettes of gel-varnishes, it is enough to take as base the base colors. Their mixing allows you to get a variety of shades that will adorn the manicure.

Design with decorative elements

The most daring can try to revive their nails with an unusual design, for example, with rhinestones. First you need to perform a manicure gel-lacquer by all rules, except for the final stage. When the colored base dries in the UV lamp, it will be slightly sticky (this is normal). On this layer and fastened with rhinestones. Hook them can be a toothpick, then put in the desired place. Only after this it is necessary to finish the finish coat. A beautiful manicure (gel-lacquer, photo number 5 in the article) is obtained by mixing several designs: mural and rhinestones. Or, for example, as a result of drawing and fine sand for nail art. It all depends on the imagination.

Tips for beginners

Those who first do manicure gel-varnish, it is worth remembering that the rules for applying this coating are the same as for conventional varnish. The material should not get on the cuticle or the skin around the nails. If this still happened, you can remove surpluses with a cotton swab dipped in a remover.

To properly put your hand to apply the product on the nails, you can practice first on a piece of paper. Lessons of manicure gel-lacquer teach the following: on the sheet with a pencil a stencil is drawn to the size of the nail plates. It is filled with gel-varnish so that the material does not get out of the edges. It turns out usually on the second attempt. If there are severe difficulties, then you can use a brush for the gel - it is thin, narrow and plastic.

Recommendations

To learn how to perform a manicure with shellac, you need at least once to try it on yourself or on a model. There is nothing difficult in putting a hybrid of gel and lacquer on the nails. When choosing a tool, one should rely not only on the advice of sellers or manufacturers, but also on the consistency of the material chosen. So, for example, one is more convenient to work with liquid compounds, although they spread somewhat, which requires fast movements, while others are more accustomed to thick ones, which need to be stretched over the surface of the nail.

Manicure gel-varnish in the home is not much different from the salon procedure, except that the cost price is several times less. The material is removed very simply: a remover is applied to the wadded disks, then they are pressed against the nails and insulated (for example, with foil). After some time, which is indicated in the instructions to the product, the disks are removed, and the gel-lacquer is cleaned with an orange stick. It can not be ripped off, otherwise the upper epithelium will be severely injured (this affects the health of the nails). If the material is not completely wet, then the removal procedure is repeated.
