How to cover nails with cuticle gel polish?

Any modern girl strives to always look great. And manicure plays a significant role in creating a unique fashionable image. One of its main criteria is the stability of the coating. This can be achieved only with the help of modern innovations of manicure in the form of gel polish. This material has recently gained great popularity, since its use allows you not to worry about the beauty and well-groomed nails for up to a month.

This composition is a symbiosis of varnish and helium coating, which is characterized by increased strength and a wide variety of colors and textures. The need for its renewal arises along with the regrowth of the nail. An uncovered space appears at the base of the nail, which indicates the need to replace the manicure or restore it. Nails colored with this composition can be easily corrected, which saves the situation for another week. This procedure is quite popular and takes less time than a complete manicure removal. To use it successfully, you need to have certain skills and tools. If available, you can perform gel polish manicure correction at home.

The advantages of this type of coating are undeniable and well known.

The main ones are:

• fast drying;
• ease of application;
• increasing the strength of the nail plate;
• coating durability;
• versatility.

Let's figure it out in order. Although a special UV lamp is required to dry the gel polish, the process itself takes a few minutes.When two or more layers are applied, the time increases several times, but all the same it is minutes. You can create any design you like at home at any convenient time. For modern busy girls, this is important, as is the confidence that if you accidentally cling to a table or chair, you will not need to worry about chips and cracks on your favorite nails.

In addition, this material allows you not to worry about the length of the nails during staining, because it can be absolutely any. Nail art designers offer a wide variety of ready-made decor options and simply stylistic directions for both short and long nails. This criterion is especially important for the working female half, since the long length often interferes with working fully, and you want to look good always and everywhere.

But there are also negative aspects here:

• removal of gel polish only with a special tool;
• possible allergic reaction to components;
• continuous wear of the coating spoils the nail plates.

The tool for removing this composition is, of course, more expensive than ordinary nail polish remover, but it will also have to be used much less often. As for the allergy to the composition, in some cases nothing can be done about the genetic characteristics of the organism, but more often this is a consequence of savings. Girls often buy cheap low-quality analogs or expired discounted formulations, which causes all sorts of rashes and itching. When working with branded gel polishes, the possibility of an allergic reaction is minimal.

A manicure made with gel polish can last much longer with the right approach. The main importance here is played by the quality of the product and the technique of execution. It is worth dwelling on the latter in more detail. There is such a thing as gel polish coating under the cuticle. It is this method that preserves the neat look of the nails for a long time, and also simplifies the correction of the manicure. This type of coating can be applied in several ways: simply by pushing back or completely cutting off the cuticle.

In the first case, it is enough just to gently displace the skin to the base of the nail with a special orange tree stick, which does not injure the plate. In the second, it is necessary to remove the cuticle completely, but with the utmost care. Since it grows back rather quickly, the gel polish covering the plate will quickly appear under it. Such a manicure will look natural and neat. Most experienced craftsmen prefer the second option, since this procedure is easier to perform from a technical point of view.

To create a cuticle manicure, you need to remember a few more important details. When processing nails, an important part is buffing the plate with a buff. Irregularities and rough areas must be avoided. To create a beautiful finish with gel polish, the work surface must be perfect. Particular attention should be paid to the base of the nail, you can even step under the cuticle a little during processing.

Before starting work, it is necessary to move all layers of the overgrown skin with a pusher. Further, the posterior nail roller is pulled back as much as possible with the fingers of the free hand.With a manicure brush, paint over the nail with a helium base at the very base, slightly stepping under the skin. With a little practice, it won't seem like such a daunting task. After finishing applying this layer, it is necessary to seal it (like all subsequent ones) and dry thoroughly under a lamp.

Next, the nail must be coated with color and also dried. Then you can proceed with the decor, if any. The third layer is also placed in ultraviolet light, after which a top coat is applied. And this is where utmost attention is needed, since the topcoat must be applied over the entire area of ​​the colored varnish and decor. The further wear resistance of the manicure depends on the quality implementation of this rule.

The last layer must be dried one minute longer than the previous ones. And the final touch is to remove the sticky layer from the coating. To do this, wipe the entire surface with a cotton pad with a special liquid. Movements should be unidirectional - from the base of the nail to the tip.

This method involves the complete removal of both layers of the cuticle. The procedure is best done with a cutter. To do this, the skin at the base must be treated with biogel, and then removed with a machine. It is good if the tool has the necessary attachments for the complete treatment of the skin around the nail plate, namely:

• cylindrical cutter;
• needle-shaped nozzles;
• spherical boron.

With the help of the first nozzle, you can both remove the cuticle and move the skin roll, therefore it is considered universal. The ball-shaped interchangeable head of the device will help to remove the accumulated skin from all sides of the working surface. And with the help of needle-shaped tips, the smallest remnants of the lower part of the cuticle are removed and the lateral ridges are processed directly, which makes their outer corners soft. Further, for better adhesion of the nail to the base, the surface is sanded with a buff and the dust is wiped off with a polyester non-fibrous cloth.

The base is applied to the finished surface. This is done as close as possible to the rear roller. When performing this procedure, you can paint over only the base of the nail, but full coverage is also allowed. It all depends on experience and skill level. In any case, the base is dried, as in the previous case. Then a colored layer is applied, which should also practically adjoin the nail base. Do not forget about drying each subsequent layer. The further procedure is no different from the previous method.

This manicure lends itself well to correction. For partial staining of the grown nail under the cuticle, it is necessary to carry out preliminary surface preparation. It is necessary to start by re-processing the cuticle. It is pushed back, freeing up the overgrown section of the plate as much as possible. Then the step formed by the end of the old coating is carefully cut down. The transition should not be visible. The side bolsters also need to be cleaned to the base layer. Next, the entire surface is sanded. Residual dust is removed with a degreaser.

Then a layer of base coat is applied to completely level the work surface. The finished base is placed under ultraviolet light. Next, the nail is covered with a color scheme that should match the original tone. The color is precisely matched to create a uniform background. Do not forget about staining close to the cuticle or, if completely removed, to the roller at the base of the nail. All subsequent layers are applied and dried methodically. The last to be applied is a fixing gel-finish.

I would like to add that to increase the strength of the coating, the finishing layer can be applied twice. First, it is applied after the colored layers. Then patterns are drawn on it, which, after drying, are again covered with a fixing layer. There is a way to facilitate the staining of the area under the cuticle. To do this, you need a set of paint brushes.

It must contain a thin brush with oblique bristles.A tool of this type makes it possible to paint the subcutaneous pocket quickly and accurately, preventing the gel varnish from flowing onto the skin. Applying such a coating under the cuticle helps to create a flaw-free manicure. However, for its independent implementation, it is better to get several master classes from a good specialist.
