Gel polish PNB

PNB Gel Polish is an innovative nail coating that combines the best features of modeling gel and professional polish. Despite the fact that the brand was founded quite recently, today its products are recognizable and in demand.

The features of this type of coating include the use of a special lamp. The manufacturer recommends two types of lamp: LED and UV. Each of them has its own nuances. The first dries nails very quickly (10-30 seconds), is more often used in salons, the second is more accessible and polymerizes absolutely all types of coatings within 2 minutes. Its optimal power is 36 watts.

The texture of the coating is dense, for an even and rich tone, just two layers of the product are enough. It lays down easily, is evenly distributed over the surface of the nail plate, does not flow past the cuticle and lateral ridges of the nail. A convenient brush makes the application smooth without streaks and unpainted areas.

Due to the ease of use, this coating can be used at home, making a high-quality manicure on your own. The whole procedure will not take much time, and the view will be like after the salon. This approach allows you to save the budget and give your nails a beautiful and well-groomed look for a long time.

One of the advantages of PNB gel polish is its high durability. The coating stays on the nails for more than three weeks. And for all this time, the appearance of chips, scratches and cracks is excluded, the varnish protects the nails from brittleness and delamination. Usually it grows along with the nail plate, so it has to be removed.

A distinctive feature of the brand's products can be attributed to its availability. At the same time, the quality and characteristics of the coatings compete with the well-known Shellac from CND. This is a professional cosmetics of the nail industry, which has already been appreciated by experienced craftsmen working in salons. The varnish is applied in a thin layer, does not weigh down the nails and is suitable even for thin and brittle plates.

It is removed by soaking with special liquids, and then removed with an orange stick. At the same time, the surface of the nail plates does not change color, does not acquire a yellowish tint, as when using conventional pigmented varnishes.

One of the features of this coating is the need for polishing the natural nail. Albeit slightly, but it harms the structure of the nail plates, depriving them of their natural protective layer. And due to the strong adhesion of the coating to the surface of the nail, oxygen is not supplied to it in the proper amount, which leads to a slowdown in growth and weakening. Therefore, from time to time, nails need a rest to restore their natural structure.

Brand gel polish is safe for health, as it does not contain harmful substances and toxins. It does not harm the nail plates, does not cause allergies and irritation of the skin around the nail.

The composition of the gel polish includes several components:

1. photoinitiator (a substance due to which gel polish hardens under the influence of ultraviolet rays);
2. film former (a component responsible for the formation of an elastic, durable, hard film, which increases the resistance of the coating to mechanical damage and household chemicals);
3. pigment (more often a combination of natural and artificial dyes, which allows you to get any shade, with a larger amount of which there is a greater coating density);
4. solvent (a volatile liquid that determines the thickness of the varnish and the quality of its adhesion to the natural nail);
5. additives and fillers (substances that make the texture viscous, shiny and plastic, as well as giving the varnish a different effect: shimmer, glitter, thermo, matte, "Cat's eye", etc.).

In order for gel polish to become an ornament and a favorite in work, when buying, you need to take into account its expiration date. Usually this indicator is indicated on the packaging and is 2 years from the date of manufacture. During this time, the components that make up the product do not change their properties, so the texture of the varnish remains unchanged and it does not complicate the manicure procedure.

As soon as the bottle is opened, the properties of the gel polish begin to change. This is due to the fact that the heavy substances and pigments that make up the product begin to push the volatile liquid (solvent) to the surface. With each application, the texture will gradually change, become thicker. The time during which the gel polish will last after opening depends on the master who works with it and how it is treated.

To extend the shelf life of the product, you need to store it correctly. When using, do not keep the bottle open for a long time. It is better to close it periodically. You can not store gel polish in the sun: this leads to a change in shade and the appearance of yellowness in light shades of coatings.

The assortment required for applying gel polish includes several lines: base and top coats, pigmented varnishes, related devices and liquids (for soaking and removing the coating).

The group of bases and fixers includes a base and top with a UV filter of 8 and 17 ml, a bio-base, a two-in-one ultraviolet titanium coating, which is a universal tool and is suitable as a base and fixer. Thanks to its special combined formula, the surface is protected from chips and damage, and a glossy sheen is provided. Titanium coating has excellent adhesive properties, prevents color change under the influence of UV rays and evens out the surface of the nail plate.

The series includes a top powder with a cashmere effect. The American manufacturer has developed a coating with a pleasant to the touch velvety effect of cashmere matte, which lasts for the entire period while the coating is on the nails.

Interesting novelties include nail art base "melting effect" giving a lot of possibilities for design. It involves various experiments, including the technique of drawing on wet gel polish. This coating is designed for watercolor and "melting" drawings, oil painting and other techniques.

When choosing a shade, you need to take into account the fact that a sample from the palette is applied to a transparent base in two layers. Live on the nails, it can be slightly different.

In addition to the classic and pastel shades that are at the height of fashion today, coatings with a new formula and micro-shine are especially popular. The color of the shades became deeper and riper.

The spring collection reflects new fashion trends, it is the awakening of nature. Sky blue ("Bluebarry") enamel tone, pale lilac ("Iris") and pink ("Phlox") with shimmering shimmer and flesh pink ("Magnolia") stand out in the line.

In addition, the brand offers unusual and effective coatings with micro-glitters, holographic glitters of different sizes on a transparent basis ("Space Glamour" line). Applied in three layers, they look bright and fashionable. Shades with bright multi-colored confetti and shavings are reminiscent of Japanese painting techniques, especially when applied to a beige background. Choosing what such coatings are combined with, you can choose saturated or dark colors for them. The dark tones of the base create the effect of stones ("Skyflare", "Gold Shards").

The "Happy Birthday" collection consists of bright and neon shades without mother-of-pearl. For goth lovers, the brand offers dark and black shades. The black background with golden micro-shine resembles the night sky. Contrasting micro sparkles make the overall background deep and unique ("Mystic Love", "Passion Night").

1. training nail plate, free edge processing, polishing;
2. removal keratin layer with a degreaser;
3. drawing base coat;
4. drawing pigmented gel polish;
5. coatings finishing layer;
6. removal residual stickiness.

It is important to follow all the steps carefully. After grinding, you need to remove the residual sawdust and a layer of keratin, removing only the gloss. This will increase the adhesion to the gel polish.The base is a kind of primer, it has a sticky layer, thanks to which the pigment is firmly attached to the surface of the nail.

You need to apply the coating in a very thin layer, otherwise it will quickly slide off the surface of the nail, deteriorate during the drying process and crack in a couple of days.

When making drawings, they are applied to a layer of pigment, and then fixed with a finish with a sticky layer (for better adhesion). If desired, you can choose sliders that will be combined with the tone of the base.
