The concept of grooming consists of many factors. An integral part of this category are well-groomed hands and beautiful manicure. Female hands do housework, which often leads to disastrous results: exfoliation of nails, brittleness, dryness of the cuticle and the inability to have a beautiful manicure. It is worth noting that ordinary varnishes on dried nail platinum hold much less. Knowing all these difficulties, manufacturers of nail products have proposed an innovative solution - the symbiosis of gel and varnish.
The product was named: gel polish. On the one hand, the coating has the qualities of a gel for modeling nails - it protects the surface from physical and chemical damage. On the other hand, a gel polish that does not require drying, placed in a convenient bottle, has maximum resemblance to ordinary varnish, which allows it to be applied at home. Its use does not require special skills.
The benefits of gel polish
The main advantage is a persistent saturated color for 3-4 weeks. As mentioned above, the coating is easy to apply and remove at home. Manufacturers of gel varnishes have developed a wide range of colors, from translucent mother-of-pearl to saturated black with a splash of shimmer, all the beauty of the coating game can be seen in the photo. Gel Polish makes the nails well-groomed, strong and healthy, allowing you to go through the regeneration process. Unlike acrylic and gel masses for modeling, gel polish does not require preliminary washing of the nail plate, which leads to its deformation and thinning. Gel polish without drying in the lamp does not polymerize, respectively, does not gain hardness and strength.
Shellac by CND and In'Garden So naturally
CND's Shellac is the first in this category. He was able to take a leading position not only due to the fact that he was the first to launch a new product on the market, but also because he retained high quality indicators over the entire period of its existence. Nail art specialists note that a sufficient thickness of the material allows you to get a rich and even color from the first layer.
CND produces its products in 7.3 ml containers, which allows for 15-20 applications. For home use, you will also need Product Remover - gel polish remover.
A distinctive feature of In'Garden So naturally is the presence of healing natural ingredients. In addition, unlike Shellac In'Garden does not change the consistency over time. At home, experts recommend using the Gelish Harmony base and top together with In'Garden, which will greatly facilitate the removal procedure. The presence of natural ingredients has its consequences. After removal, the nail plate may acquire an unpleasant yellowish tint.
Color Couture by Entity One and Jessica Geleration
In addition to its low cost, Color Couture has become popular due to its ability to self-level and fill cracks. Its development was carried out specifically for home conditions, so the consistency of the product, an ergonomic brush and a bottle will make use convenient even for non-professionals.
Entity One gel polish is more than 140 tones of varying degrees of saturation, bright and muted, cold and warm, pearlescent and shiny. Another inexpensive gel polish that has found conflicting reviews. The low cost made it popular, but the uncomfortable brush and the inability of some colors to keep in shape significantly reduced its rating. Another drawback is the shape of the bottle, which allows the gel to dry over time.
Axxium OPI and Lidan Gel Polish
Axxium OPI earned the title of best gel in terms of nail strengthening. In home use, it is worthwhile to prepare for the fact that it is quite moody, with improper drying it can give an uneven coating. Wear time in most cases does not exceed 10 days. Manicure masters share a little secret - extending the life of Axxium OPI will help tinting with ordinary varnish from OPI, which has a similar color palette.
Inexpensive gel varnishes were offered by the Lidan Gel Polish company, their cost varies from 250-350 rubles. At such a low price, gel polish has a fairly high resistance and is able to stay on the nails for about 14 days. To obtain a saturated and bright color, you will have to apply at least three layers, each of which must be dried. After three months, the liquid in the bottle acquires a consistency that makes it unsuitable for application. After removal, the nail plate may peel and turn yellow.
Gel Polish by KRIMLE
Gel Polish is a two-phase gel polish, for the application of which a complex product is used that combines the properties of the base and top. You can get a saturated, bright color from the first layer. He earned special love and popularity due to the shelf life of 5 years.
Gel polish production is carried out in the USA at a pharmacological factory, where they are especially sensitive to health issues. Over time, gel polish does not change the consistency and maintains an average density. All the beauty of such a coating can be seen in the photo. Gel polish does not negatively affect the nails, which has been proven in laboratory conditions. In addition, it does not cause allergic reactions.
Vitaminized gel polish without drying in a lamp - myth or reality?
With care for their consumers, nail manufacturers have released another novelty. Vitaminized gel polish without drying in the lamp, according to experts, is more likely to be correlated with the category of high-quality varnishes. Three companies launched products on the cosmetic market at once - Limoni, Brigitte-Bottier and Deborah lippmann. At the moment, gel polish without drying in the lamp cannot bear the full title of “gel polish”, since it is significantly inferior to it in the matter of the durability of manicure.
