After some time, you can cover the plates with the main layer. The varnish should not be thick, as it will not lie flat. But it should not be liquid either, because it will spread on the nail surface. Therefore, you need to choose a quality oily product of medium consistency, which dries quickly and lasts a long time.

You need to hold the bottle in your hand to warm it up, shake it. You need to start with the little finger of your right hand, holding your hand at an angle for the correct spreading of the varnish.

If you use two colors of varnish, but pick up a beautiful pattern, the nails will look unusual. The water manicure of light blue tones, covered with a fixative with sparkles, looks gorgeous.

The choice of varnish depends, of course, on fashion. But everyone has different tastes and not everything that is fashionable can be liked. It is necessary to take into account the tone of the skin, the season, the situation and the structure of the varnish. Therefore, the color in the bottle can be one, and when applied to the nail, it can turn out to be different. Manicure should match clothes, makeup and hairstyle. It is necessary to take into account the condition of the nails, since dark shades emphasize all defects.

• For tanned skin, tones without a yellow tint, pastel colors are suitable. For pale skin, pink and gray shades are ideal.
• When choosing a color, you need to consider the length of the nails. Shiny dark shades look good on short ones, as they immediately seem elongated.
• Glitter, holographic and sand varnishes are suitable for medium length nails. It is only necessary to take into account that bright colors do not lengthen the nails, but vice versa.

• Inconspicuous complex colors are suitable for every day, the best option is a classic French manicure. For the evening, you can try dark and bright colors.

The water temperature should be up to 60 degrees. After that, the nails are shaped with a nail file and the cuticle is trimmed. File movements are made at an angle of ninety degrees in one direction to avoid delamination of the plate. After that, the surface is polished with a four-sided buff. You also need to degrease them with alcohol or a special liquid.
2. To level the plates, apply a thin layer of primer, dry for 20 seconds.
3. The entire nail is painted with a thin layer of the base gel, without staining the skin of the finger. If the base layer is thick, then there is a risk of incomplete drying. It is necessary to dry for no more than a minute in a UV lamp to obtain a polymer film.
4. Cover the top of the base gel with the chosen color of the varnish, not reaching the cuticle and side ridges, then dry in a lamp for two to four minutes, depending on the density of the gel. For an even coating, a second and, if necessary, a third layer is applied. Each layer is dried separately. If the varnish is applied in too thick layers, it may begin to bubble.
5. The final layer of gel covers the entire nail plate, including unpainted parts. This layer is dried up to four minutes in an ultraviolet lamp. The decor lasts up to two weeks if you choose a top coat with a plastic composition.
6. With a lint-free cloth treated with a dispersion layer remover, gently remove the sticky layer from the nails. Then cuticles need nourishing oil, and apply cream on your hands.
