Bio Gel Nail Polish
Caring for the appearance of marigolds is a standard procedure for a woman. Today it is impossible to find a representative of the weaker sex who would neglect high-quality manicure.
However, it is worth recognizing that our nails, like many other parts of the body that are imperceptible at first glance, turn out to be more sensitive than one might think.
Chemical influences, including the constant application and removal of varnishes, affect the health of the nail plate. It is not surprising that in addition to standard coloring agents, the so-called biogel has appeared, which has rather unique qualities.
You will learn more about restoring nails with biogel from the following video.
How is it different from gel polish
This is not to say that gel manicure is such a novelty. Gel polish has long been known to many women due to the fact that it has better resistance compared to standard manicure products. In order to make an indicative comparison between the usual lacquer gel and the novelty in the form of a biogel, it is necessary to first understand what it is and why it is needed.
As it is easy to understand from the name, gel polish is a hybrid product that combines the qualities of a standard polish and a gel structure.In order for such a manicure to “dry”, it must undergo a polymerization procedure. It is for this reason that a manicure using such a tool is carried out using an ultraviolet lamp. Under its radiation, a layer of gel polish hardens in 10 seconds to 3 minutes.
Of course, the main difference between gel polish is far from the features of its application.
It affects the nail plate itself, strengthens it and makes it thicker. Thanks to this, not only the manicure, but also the nails themselves acquire resistance to damage.
By the way, the solid structure and density are the main differences between such a varnish and the mentioned biogel. Biogel is much more often used to strengthen natural nails. It is a slightly viscous polymeric liquid based on natural rubber. After application, it does not make the plate brittle and strengthens it by making it flexible and elastic.
The composition of the biogel is usually based on various natural ingredients. It can be rubber, resin, as well as proteins, calcium. Their main purpose is to strengthen the nail plate without disturbing its structure. Protection against damage is achieved by gaining a more elastic and stable consistency after application.
Of course, such a remedy is not purely therapeutic.
It can also be used for decorative work, as a basis for a manicure, or as one of its components. There is also a separate variety, the so-called sculptural gel. It is used to build up the natural nail tissue, giving it a certain shape and alignment. The texture of the gel easily penetrates into microcracks, fills them and makes them as invisible as possible.
It can be seen that the difference between conventional nail gel and biogel is based on their texture and principle of action. OHowever, there are a few other differences:
- After drying, the usual gel, like classic varnishes, becomes harder, at the same time compacting the nail. Biogel gives elasticity;
- Biogel procedures take much longer. Approximately 45 minutes may be required, including the application and drying phase;
- The undeniable advantage of biological gel - this is an opportunity to build up a natural nail plate and even correct it;
- In case of prolonged use of gel polish, additional correction will be required, as well as a special base;
- The average smear thickness for bio-gel is approximately 2 mm;
- The final and indisputable advantage of such a tool is the greater content of natural ingredients. Due to this, unlike all standard manicure products, the biological gel does not irritate or damage the natural nail plate.
Of course, there were some negative aspects as well. Procedures with classic varnishes are much cheaper. However, saving on your health is not always profitable, so if possible, you should consider the use of biogel as the highest priority choice.
What is better, everyone decides for himself. As can be understood from the foregoing, an ordinary gel polish offers an almost flawless full-fledged manicure, which will differ in density, thickening and compaction of the nail, and also attracts a more favorable cost.As for the use of a biological gel, this is, first of all, the improvement of your nails, their strengthening due to elasticity, the alignment of the plate and the possibility of its extension.
The subtleties of using such funds are not limited to this, because many women probably wondered if they could be applied together.
And it's really not a problem. Moreover, such a combination allows you to achieve an impressive result, which ideally combines the healing of the nail plate, its maintenance and bright decor.
In order to properly perform such a manicure, it is enough to adhere to the following recommendations:
- The combination of two products is possible only if the biological gel acts as a base and supports the nail plate;
- Before starting the procedure, you should put your nails in order. They need to be cut, sanded, and also be sure to clean and degrease with the help of special cleaning products;
- On the prepared nails, first apply a primer, and then a layer of biogel. Dry them under an ultraviolet lamp for two minutes;
- Lastly, a thin gel polish of a suitable shade is applied, and then also dried under ultraviolet light. Then you can finish the procedure or continue to work on decorating, depending on your preferences. The main thing - do not forget to dry each layer of varnish.
This combination is especially well suited for those women who cannot refuse a bright and beautiful manicure.
After all, the biological gel is practically not produced in a color palette and is essentially transparent.
Which one to use
When choosing a means for applying, you should pay attention to its type.Now on the shelves of stores there are a lot of options that differ in composition and quality. In general, several groups of biological gel can be distinguished:
- The so-called sculptural type - this is a tool that is used if necessary to build up the natural nail plate and strengthen the desired shape. Extension is possible up to 1-2 mm, while the nail will acquire a natural shade from white to light beige;
- "RoyalSealer" gel. If you are interested in the possibility of combining conventional varnish and biological gel, then this option is ideal for you. It has a transparent clean structure, therefore it easily hides the possible yellowness of your nails and fixes the decorative layers well if applied as a base;
- "S-Biogel", which is also often called "color" because this type is sometimes produced in a specific palette. It is an independent tool that, after drying, forms a high-quality elastic manicure.
Application technology
The use of biological gel will require some material preparation. In particular, you can not do without an ultraviolet lamp. On the shelves of stores you can find products whose manufacturer claims that when using it, UV drying is not required, but this is far from the case.
Any nail polish that has the texture of nail polish should be cured under a lamp. In addition, you will need a set of files, tools for cleaning and degreasing the nail plate, a cuticle remover, and an acid-free primer.
The application technique itself is not too complicated.
It is enough to observe the sequence of all stages and do not forget about the features of gel products. The general principles of biogel application are outlined below step by step:
- First, soften and remove excess cuticles. It can also be simply pushed to the edge of the nail bed;
- With the help of a hard file, the nails should be given the desired shape. Please note that the top layer does not need to be filed or polished, it is enough to clean it with products and degrease it;
- Instead of a base, use a primer without acid components. It will significantly improve the adhesion strength of the product with the nail;
- The primer dries without lamp approximately 2-5 minutes. After that, you can apply the biogel itself. Usually, the procedure is performed as with ordinary varnish: the right amount of the product is first applied to the middle of the nail from the bottom up, and then distributed over the entire nail in circles or even strokes;
- The product is usually applied in several layers. Usually the first acts as a base, it dries under a UV lamp for about 2-3 minutes, and then it can be covered with a second fixing layer;
- At the end of the procedure, the nails are also dried under a UV lamp for 2 minutes. To avoid the stickiness of the gel, you can treat the nails again with a degreaser.
Reviews
Now biological nail care products are gaining wide popularity. If we talk about the shortcomings right away, then we can single out the relatively high cost of such a biogel, as well as the lack of a large color palette, so you still have to combine it with gel polish to decorate a manicure.
However, such a tool is very well suited for sculpting marigolds.
To date, this is practically the only and easy way to build up a natural nail plate.
Positive feedback is often received by biogel from Runail. This brand specializes in the development and production of nail extension products.
