Single phase gel polish

Gel nail polish is very popular. But many representatives of the fair sex refuse this type of manicure due to some complexity of its implementation, and also due to the fact that such a procedure takes a lot of time. But now that there is a special single-phase gel polish on sale, you can safely forget about these shortcomings.

As a rule, a manicure using gel polish takes place in three stages, but using a single-phase coating, you can perform a manicure much easier and faster. This means that a single-phase gel polish combines the functions of a base, a fixer and the color coating itself. Now it is enough just to apply one or maximum two layers of this product on the nails and the manicure is considered complete. In addition, such a coating for nails is safer.

Single-phase gel polish has a unique composition and formula. It combines several components at once, which are included in the usual base for gel polish, its fixative, as well as color pigment. That is why its use allows you to immediately replace three familiar means for creating a manicure using gel polish or shellac.

But besides ease of use, this tool has other obvious advantages.

If we talk about the merits of this new gel manicure tool, there are a lot of them. The most basic are the following:

1. Acceleration of manicure and its simplification. Now, instead of three jars with the necessary funds, only one should be used.
2. On the surface of the nails, such a coating will lie in a thin layer, which means that the nails will be able to breathe. In addition, a manicure made using such a single-phase varnish will look more natural.
3. You can save a lot. The cost of a single-phase gel polish is several times less than the total cost of the three conventional products that it replaces.
4. Such a coating for nails, despite the smaller thickness of the layer, can stay on the nails longer than the usual gel polish. On average, the durability of such a manicure can last up to 4 weeks. But it will be correct to remove the single-phase gel polish from the surface of the nail bed after 15 days, since the nails will grow during this time, and their regrown edge will not make the best impression.
5. You can dry this product not only in an ultraviolet lamp, but also in an LED lamp. And this method of polymerization is not suitable for all conventional gel polishes.
6. You can cover with such a tool not only your natural nails, but also extensions.
7. And another indisputable advantage of this tool is saving working space during manicure. There is no need to set several bubbles on the table, one will replace them all. This is especially true for manicure masters, whose working surface is always significantly crowded anyway.
8. All varieties of such single-phase funds sold today can be used by combining with each other. For example, you can paint a nail with one color, and create various patterns on its surface with any other.

Since its first appearance on the shelves, this nail coating has immediately fallen in love with many women. Therefore, manufacturers hastened to please them with a wide range.

Today on sale there are single-phase gel polishes from various manufacturers. But the entire range of this tool can be divided into two large groups:

Their products are distinguished not only by high quality, safe composition, durability, a wide palette of shades, but also by a rather high cost.In addition, the range of shades of gel polishes from these manufacturers is constantly updated.

But sometimes it’s not enough just to buy gel polish from a good manufacturer, you also need to apply it correctly.

In order for the result of using a single-phase gel polish not to bring disappointment, you need to learn how to use it correctly. The step-by-step technique for using single-phase gel polish is as follows:

1. Preparing the fingertips and the nail plate itself. First of all, it is necessary to remove the cuticle or move it as far as possible if an unedged manicure is chosen. Then, with the help of a file, the desired shape and length of the nail itself is formed.
2. Be sure to polish the entire surface of the nails. To do this, you need to use a special tool - a buff. It is a thick soft file.
3. If the use of a degreaser when using a three-phase gel polish is an optional item, then using a single-phase coating, its use is mandatory.
4. Then be sure to cover the entire nail plate with a primer. This is a special tool that provides a tight and reliable bond of the gel to the surface of the nail. In addition, the use of this product helps to avoid the appearance of such defects as cracking and peeling of the gel polish from the surface of the nail plate in the future.
5. Now you need to apply the single-phase agent itself to the nails. It should be remembered that such a gel polish is applied in a very thin layer on the surface. Press the brush firmly against the nail.The product is applied to each nail in turn, with obligatory drying in an ultraviolet lamp for 2 minutes or in an LED lamp for 30 seconds.
6. If necessary, after drying, another thin layer of coating can be applied to the surface of the nails. This is done to obtain a more saturated deep color. If the desired shade has not been obtained, it is not recommended to apply a third layer. The nails will not be able to get the right dose of oxygen, and the coating itself will begin to peel off from their surface faster.

But no matter how durable and high-quality the nail coating using a single-phase product is, sooner or later it will need to be removed. But this must be done, also following some recommendations.

In order not to damage the structure of the nails, as well as to remove single-phase gel polish from their surface as quickly and simply as possible, the following steps must be performed:

1. It is necessary to stock up on food foil, wooden manicure sticks, ordinary cotton wool. You will also need a cleanser, it can be purchased immediately complete with the selected single-phase gel polish, or you can buy it separately. If it is impossible to choose a product designed to remove exactly gel polish, then a regular nail polish remover made on the basis of acetone is quite suitable.
2. Cotton swabs are abundantly soaked in solution and pressed tightly against the nails. There is a small nuance here: the shorter their length, the easier it is to remove the coating from them. Therefore, if necessary and possible, it is first necessary to shorten the nails with nail scissors.
3. Then the swab attached to the nail is tightly wrapped on top with ordinary foil. If it is not at hand, then ordinary cling film is quite suitable.
4. In this position, the hands are left for 10 or 15 minutes, then the compress is removed from the fingertips.
5. With the help of an orange stick, the coating is lifted up at the base of the nail, if it is easily amenable to this procedure, and with the help of a stick it is shifted at the top. Then completely clean off the nail. If after the expiration of time the gel polish has not softened, then a compress is applied to the nails again and left for another 15 minutes.
6. After completely removing the coating, the nails should be thoroughly rinsed in warm water and applied to them with a nourishing cream or special oil.
7. Even though a single-phase gel polish may not cause much damage to the nails, they need to be given a break. That's why before performing the next manicure using this tool, at least a day must pass.

You can find another way to remove single-phase gel polish in the video below.

Finally, I would like to give a few additional tips that will help you avoid unpleasant consequences about this wonderful manicure tool.

• First of all, you should never buy a single-phase gel polish at too low a cost. It is worth remembering that a truly high-quality and safe product cannot cost less than 300 rubles for a 6 ml vial.
• Secondly, it is better to give preference to proven manufacturers who have established themselves as the creators of high-quality and safe products. About those who are trustworthy, it was told above.
• Thirdly, before using this type of gel polish, it is strictly forbidden to vigorously shake the vial with this product. Otherwise, you should be prepared for the appearance of such defects as cracking and delamination of the coating.

Despite the high resistance of this product, any contact with water should be avoided, as well as a sharp temperature drop for three hours after the procedure. In order for the result of such a manicure to please for a long time, it is necessary to properly care for it.

Gloves should be worn when handling strong chemicals, and this also applies when a large amount of rough work is done, for example, in the garden.

Even if after 15 days the manicure looks great, the coating will still need to be removed from the nails. Nails grow back and unpainted areas appear, which creates the appearance of sloppiness. And besides, the nail plate also needs rest, because no matter how safe the composition of this product is, it still contains various chemical components that, with prolonged contact with the nails, can damage their structure.

Compliance with all these simple, but very valuable recommendations will help not only avoid disappointment in this product, but also will not allow any harm to the nails.

Manufacturers of single-phase gel nail polish insist that this tool is the best for creating a bright, lasting and beautiful manicure. The reviews of most customers confirm this. According to women, all the advantages of this coating declared by manufacturers are in fact. Using a single-phase gel polish really allows you to reduce the time it takes to complete a manicure, as well as save money. But the most important thing is that such savings not only do not affect the appearance of the manicure, but also the condition of the nails.

A wide palette of shades, a wide variety of brands involved in the production of these products allow every woman who wishes to purchase such a tool for nail art.

Manicurists also support such positive reviews about single-phase gel polish. They note the savings not only in time and money, but also the expansion of the working area. Now there is no need to force the entire table with various varnishes, fixatives, and also waste time choosing the right products. After all, not all types of bases and top coats are suitable for each other. But now all these problems are in the past. Instead of three bubbles, it is enough to use only one.

If we talk about negative reviews about this tool, then there are practically none. Most of the women who have experienced this gel polish on themselves were very pleased with the result. Those who did not get the desired effect themselves admit that they either violated the recommendations for applying this coating to the nails, or purchased a very dubious product.

The popularity of single-phase gel polish is quite justified and deserved. Those who used it once openly declare that they are not going to return to the three-phase nail coating system.
