A manicure will turn out according to all the rules, if you stock up on all the necessary accessories in advance:

1. a set of manicurists;
2. buff for grinding;
3. lint-free discs;
4. liquid, which will degrease the nails;
5. base coat;
6. the selected color of the gel polish "Harmony" from Gelish;
7. LED or UV lamp, which will polymerize the gel polish and dry it.

The beginning of the manicure is the preliminary preparation of the nails.

The nails are processed dry - the cuticle is pushed back and dead particles are removed with the help of manicure tools. After that, you should give the nail the desired shape and polish it, removing the glossy surface.

The next step is to remove stickiness from the surface of the nails with the help of a napkin or a special disk and the Cleanser & Sanitizer. This composition works as a disinfectant, providing the next layer with reliability. At the next stage, the nails should be treated with a degreasing compound.

The most important stage - applying gel polish to the nail plate, is performed in the following sequence:

1. the nail is covered with a base (this product is much cheaper than varnish). It is important to treat the nail well from the ends. Do not allow the product to flow onto the cuticle with side rollers. If this happens, the leaked varnish should be removed;
2. nails are dried in a UV lamp, the power of which is 36 watts (30 seconds). If you use an LED device for drying, 10 seconds will be enough;
3. the next step is to apply a color coating, which was selected from a wide range of colors. We apply in exactly the same way as we would apply a simple nail polish;
4. followed by drying again. For a UV lamp, the process will take 2 minutes, and for an LED lamp, it will take only 30 seconds. It is also important to note here that the coating is first applied and dried only on four fingers, without a large one, and large ones separately, otherwise all the beauty from them may drain to the side;
5. usually the color is applied in two layers, sometimes three, after each - dry the nails in the lamp. The main thing is that each of them be thin. It is also important to be careful here and not allow the gel polish to flow beyond the contours of the nail.The ends can be painted over with color, or you can leave it unpainted - if desired;
6. now you can decorate, fortunately, his choice is large - from stickers and sequins to sliders and rhinestones;
7. get rid of the sticky layer only at the very end, because it is thanks to him that adhesion occurs between the layers;
8. Next - the fixing stage. We apply a dense layer of top, on which depends how durable the coating will be. The ends are also sealed - without this, the manicure can come off very quickly;
9. now it remains only to remove the sticky layer. It's simple - we apply a degreaser on the disk and with its help we carefully process all the nails;
10. in conclusion - caring for the cuticle, put moisturizer on it.

The process is completed, it remains only to admire your bright manicure.

Hand & Nail Harmony Gelish can also be used for pedicures, including in winter, when you can forget about sandals. The tool will not be erased, will not crack in shoes, and it will be possible not to remember about the nails on the legs even longer than on the hands - because there they grow much more slowly.

To perform this procedure, it is enough to moisten the disk with a special composition "Gelish Artificial Nail Remover", attach the disk to the nail plate and wrap the foil around the finger. Do this with all fingers.

After 15 minutes, the gel will lose its strength and can be easily removed with a pusher or a special stick. The longer the gel was on the nails, the more time it takes to soak it.

Then a polishing buff is taken, the hardness of which is 280 grit, and each nail is processed. After that, the skin around the nail plate is also processed.For this, a special oil "Gelish Nourish Cuticle Oil" is useful. Everything, now you can start a new coating.

Looking through the numerous reviews of girls about this product, sometimes you can stumble upon negative statements. It is very strange that such a thing can be found about the product Hand & Nail Harmony Gelish.

But everything becomes clear when it suddenly turns out that a fake, and not the original, received a negative response. Unfortunately, some sellers and enterprising businessmen do not care about the quality of the goods, and they put it on their shelves with a calm soul. You need to learn to see the difference in order to purchase only original Gelish products.

It would seem that it is unrealistic to do this - outwardly the bottles cannot be distinguished.

A professional master can instantly identify a fake by opening a bottle - it is in the content that the difference between two outwardly identical varnishes is found. But there are external signs of a fake that you should be aware of:

1. At the bottom of each bottle there is a label with a barcode. Under it, if you peel it off, you will see information indicating the manufacturer and the tone of the varnish. If you don't see it, it's a fake.
2. Will issue a fake and a brush. The original is thin, soft, transparent. The varnish absorbs perfectly and gently opens at the lunula. The fake brush is not at all like that - it is both shorter and tougher, made of dark pile, thick. Applying such a coating is one torment, it’s not for nothing that the girls then write negative reviews.

The main fakes of Gelish gel polish are CCO Gelish and IDO Gelish. What makes them different:

• At Hand & Nail Harmony The change in design on the packaging of the base and on the finish layer took place a long time ago and is a sticker with a strip of the color of the polish that is in the bottle. The cap is dark grey. Fakes are produced in jars of the old design - white, and also a sticker on the bottom - very bright.

• If the polymerization is accompanied by a strong burning sensation, regardless of whether a thin layer was applied or a thick one - you have a fake on your nails, the original product does not give such a reaction. Due to the fact that the fake gel contains too much solvent and a strong burning effect occurs. But diluted varnish and should cost less.

• In addition, a very unpleasant chemical odor may appear during drying. Knowing all these differences, you can easily see the difference and never let yourself be deceived. After all, a fake is sometimes sold at the same price as the original, and in fact, no one needs its contents for free.

If you use the official product, you will never want to write a negative review about it, because it is of high quality and gives a flawless application. Having once done a manicure with Gelish gel polish, you will no longer want to part with it and forget about the usual varnish, preferring a really resistant and beautiful product.
