Treatment of the end of the nail with gel polish

To keep the beautiful appearance of the nails, they used to have to be repainted every two days. Now it is much easier to achieve the perfect manicure. Gel polish retains its feather-bed beauty and master's design idea for a long time.

In order for the varnish to last longer, you need to properly seal the end of the nail with gel polish. In this article you will find detailed instructions for sealing the free edge of the nail.

This product belongs to decorative cosmetics. Its name is due to the combination of two elements. This is a nail polish and gel in one bottle. If the varnish itself can dry out, then a special lamp is used to dry the gel. They are different, and the duration of drying depends on their type.

Gel polish is based on a gel that is used to model nails and a coloring enzyme. This product is represented on the market by many manufacturers. Moreover, each product will differ not only in color saturation, but also in the speed of drying.

You can wear a manicure made with shellac from two weeks to 30 days.It all depends on the quality of sealing and the characteristics of the nail plate.

Advantages of gel polish:

• For coating, you do not have to injure the nail plate, which cannot be said when using the gel.
• Color, brightness and gloss of a varnish are not erased for a long time.
• A properly sealed nail tip will not flake off.
• The cosmetic product is absolutely harmless.
• Thanks to the wide range of colors, you can create a variety of designs.
• Available to almost everyone.

With such a tool, even weak and brittle nails turn into quite dense and strong. This is due not to the favorable effect of the product, but to the many layers that cover the nail. All these qualities of varnish can be obtained in only one way - the correct application and the strictest observance of the rules. The slightest deviation from the technique and sequence of application will result in a poor-quality manicure, which after a few days will begin to exfoliate and form chips.

The end of the nail, also known as the cut, is the weakest point of the manicure. Since the manicure is applied in several layers, the unsealed tip simply provides access to all of them. Open coating layers are much easier to chip off than closed ones.

Judging from the aesthetic side, the unpainted cut looks rather unattractive and too noticeable.

Proper sealing of gel polish is the last stage of work, but the previous ones are no less important. If the preliminary preparation is done incorrectly, then the result will be short-lived. Consider the whole process of applying gel polish step by step.

No matter how trite it may sound, but before the procedure it is worth preparing your hands.Wash them well, make a nourishing mask or bath, treat with oil. If you are going to change the shape of the nail, then do it before applying the varnish.

Before using varnish, it is not necessary to file the nail with a buff. This should only be done if the plate is too flaky.

In other cases, process the plate with a soft file and degrease it. For polishing, it is better to use a lint-free cloth. Pay special attention to the tip of the nail, because it is from it that the peeling off of the varnish begins.

Do not touch the buffed nail plates with your hands and degrease them with a special tool.

In order to avoid brittleness and brittleness of nails, you can cover them with a primer. The agent dries instantly. It provides better adhesion of subsequent layers to the nail plate.

The primer helps to degrease, dry and disinfect the nail plate. You can use both acidic and acid-free products, depending on the type of plate.

After carrying out all the above procedures, you should start applying the base. This transparent viscous substance not only helps to make the manicure stronger, but also protects the plate from yellowness and exhaustion. Choose a base with vitamins or caring components included in the composition.

Its layer should be as thin as possible.Dry the base follows in a special lamp. The sticky layer must be removed. The base prevents the penetration of the colored enzyme into the nail plate.

• Shake bottles well before use.
• Apply a thin layer of gel polish. Smooth it out with a dry brush. Dry your nails under a lamp. Set the timer to two minutes. If it is an LED device, then the time can be reduced to 30 seconds.
• Apply a second coat of varnish, dry it again. Experts recommend applying gel polish in thin layers, so it will not spread, bubble and form rollers. Each layer should dry well.
• If it is planned to apply a pattern, then the sticky layer must be removed, otherwise the varnish will fall behind. Be sure to treat with varnish, especially dark shades, the protruding edge of the nail. So the manicure in general will look much neater.

To begin with, let's figure out what is sealing the free edge of the nail. This is painting over the free growing tip of the nail on both sides with the base, varnish and finish. That is, this is not one final procedure, but a set of actions at each stage.

For sealing, it is necessary to process both the inner and the cut part of the growing nail. At the same time, try not to touch the skin. Too zealous with painting the inside is not worth it. For clarity, watch the video on how to properly seal the end of the nail with gel polish.

You will learn more about how to seal the end of the nail in the following video.

Proceed to sealing the edge of the nail. The sequence of work is as follows.

• Dip the brush into the gel.
• Get rid of excess funds by removing them on the neck.
• The brush with the product should be perpendicular to the tip of the nail.
• Gently apply product to the edge. Be sure to step on the inside.

After applying and drying the gel, cover the nail with a finishing agent. The thickness of the finish should be slightly greater than the thickness of the base coat. The shine of the nails depends on the quality of drying the finish.

Applying this thick product protects the manicure from damage. Do not forget to process the inside of the free nail, if the length allows.

After the manicure procedure, the specialist will give you good advice on caring for your nails. By adhering to these simple rules, you will keep the beauty on your nails for a long time.

• For the first few days, do not heat your nails. Do not dip your hands in hot water, take a bath, go to the sauna or go to the beach.
• Don't file coated nails, even if you don't like the shape. To do this, you need to remove all layers and only then give the nails a shape.
• Keep handles away from active detergents. These include powders, cleaning products, soaps with a whitening effect. Wear gloves for these types of activities. They also need to be used for work on the garden plot.
• Give your nails a nice treat.Oil and paraffin masks, baths will keep the integrity and health of your nails.

No matter how experienced and professional your master is, sometimes a manicure does not hold up for reasons beyond his control. Gel polish can peel off quickly if:

• The level of acetone in the body is increased.
• Nails are very flaky.
• Your edge is not long enough to seal well.
• Weakened nail plates.
• You recently got your nails done.

Remember, shellac cannot be removed with improvised tools. So you really injure the plate. There are special tools for this.

Before removing the gel polish, the top layer is filed, soaked with cotton pads with nail polish remover and applied to the nails, wrapped in foil or put on special clips. After waiting 10 minutes, the remaining coating can be easily removed with an orange stick.
