About the composition
In order to choose the right gel polish, it is very important to know everything about its composition, because only then there will be complete confidence in the product. As for Masura varnishes, made using Japanese technologies, then they contain the necessary components.
- Acrylate copolymer. It is a synthetic polymer that makes the consistency of the varnish thicker, and in the future it is as stable as possible.
- Coloring pigments. Give color and the desired shade to gel polish.
- Film former. Ensures that the coating is smooth and even. In addition, if this component was not present, the varnish would simply flow.If this happens, most likely, the manufacturer saved a little on it.
- Shine and shine are achieved by adding special fillers to the varnish.
All substances are within the normal range, which in no way can harm the nail plate.

How to choose
You should purchase products from the brand only from trusted suppliers who sell high-quality gel polishes. You should definitely pay attention to the volume of the bottles so as not to stumble upon a fake. So, single-phase gel varnishes are available in volumes of 3.5 ml and 6.5 ml. Three-phase - 3.5 ml 6.5 ml, 11 ml and even 35 ml.
Single phase gel polishes are especially good for home use. They are the easiest to work with as they do not require knowledge of special coating technologies. On the one hand, this is a plus, since it saves time and effort, and on the other, a minus.
With single-phase gel varnishes, it is difficult to obtain a perfect finish on the nails, since one bottle contains all the layers that the masters most often apply one by one. To apply a single phase coat to nails, it is not necessary to cover them with a base. First, a primer is applied, and then immediately a colored layer of gel polish.
The top is also not used, but drying is still done in the lamp. But the three-phase options already require the application of a degreaser on the nails, base, color layer and top coat. Which of the options for gel polishes to choose is up to the buyers: it all depends on the purpose for which it will be needed.
We apply correctly
Consider the step-by-step application of a three-phase system to nails, which can be useful for working at home.
For this we need:
- files, nippers and other tools for cleaning nails;
- gel polish of the desired shade;
- primer;
- base;
- top coating (you can use the classic version with a sticky layer or vitamin, which is in the range of the brand);
- UV or LED lamp for drying gel;
- liquid for removing the dispersion layer (you can also use a regular nail polish remover, which removes the sticky layer just as well).
Step-by-step manicure is easy to perform. The main thing is to purchase all the materials and not skip certain stages in the work.
- First, your nails and hands should be washed and treated with an antiseptic. Even if the work is done at home, all instruments must be sterile.
- Next, the nails need to be filed, that is, remove the glossy layer from them. To do this, use a non-rigid file 240 x 240. Then the cuticle should be pushed back with an orange stick and removed with nippers (preferably softened in advance). The nails should be filed to length and shape.
- Then they should be coated with a primer that thoroughly degreases the nail plate. Wait for it to be absorbed for three minutes.
- In the next step, the nails should be covered with a base.It is very important to seal them also, that is, to cover the tip itself. It takes about 120 seconds to dry the base in a UV lamp and only a minute in an LED.
- Further, it is advisable to remove the sticky layer from the base, as if pulling it together. It is best to use a gel brush. It is best not to skip this stage, otherwise the gel polish will drain off, and it will be simply impossible to get the color.
- After the step taken, the nails must be coated with the selected gel polish, also sealing all the nails. Dry like the base.
- If there is a need to apply a second coat, then the same should be done, including drying in a lamp.
- After drying one or two layers of gel polish in the lamp, they should be covered with a top coat. It can be with or without a sticky layer.
Without sticky, it is best used when a certain small decor is applied to the nails, from which it is simply impossible to remove the stickiness.
Reviews of buyers and masters
Many people say that varnishes from the brand are suitable for those who are just learning how to perform manicure with gel varnishes, since the products have a lot of flaws. Light varnishes are very "striped", even if the nails are covered with several layers. Getting high quality coverage is tricky. At the same time, magnetic options and varnishes from the Precious Stones series are more or less acceptable, since they really give a pleasant shine. They have the most positive reviews.
Single-phase gel varnishes are very convenient for working at home, while three-phase gel varnishes take a long time to tinker with, but they are slightly better in quality. Varnishes from the brand are really very profitable, but many masters do not recommend purchasing them because of the difficulty of applying and not of the highest quality. Shades are not always the same as the manufacturer promises, many are not juicy and bright enough. In general, varnishes from the brand deserve attention, although in terms of quality and selection criteria, they will not always be better than many foreign analogues.
