Gelish gel polish: features, palette and application tips
Gelish gel varnish appeared on the world market about 10 years ago and quickly gained popularity among the fair sex. It is produced by Harmony. In Russia, it appeared a little later, but this did not prevent domestic fashionistas from immediately realizing that such a varnish would help create an ideal manicure, which is a very important detail of a woman's image.
Advantages and disadvantages
When choosing nail care products, you need to figure out what pros and cons they have. As for the Gelish products, they have a number of advantages that cannot be ignored.
The palette of shades includes over 100 colors. These are both classic tones and trendy novelties. The assortment is constantly updated. Gel polish is created using modern technologies and is absolutely safe.
Moreover, it is able to have a positive effect on the nails, which is an excellent option for the fragility of the nail plate. At the same time, it does not become too thick from a large amount of material, since the layers are thin and neat.
Gelish gel polish is easy to use - it can be applied in the same way as a regular varnish, after which the nails just need to be dried under a lamp. The finish coat allows the gel to hold for quite a long time, and also protects it from external negative influences. The shine of nails does not fade when doing homework.
As for extended nails, the material lays down perfectly and lasts up to 4 weeks. However, in the case of natural nails, you will need to do a manicure a little more often. Experts note that when using similar funds, this period is no more than two weeks.
The coatings are hypoallergenic, which becomes an undoubted advantage for many craftsmen and their clients. Irritation and itching are also not observed.When removing it, it is enough to use a special solution, which allows you not to injure the nail plate by cutting.
