Gel polish in jars: features, tips for choosing and using

Any woman dreams of always having an impeccable and well-groomed look. One of the important criteria for a beautiful image is a stylish, neat and durable manicure. Modern beauty salons offer a wide range of services, naturally, for a lot of money.

However, these days it will not be difficult to make an original manicure at home. The main material for its application is gel polish. You can easily buy it in specialized stores or order it online. It is presented in 2 versions: a standard bottle with a brush and gel polish in a jar (no brush). The last version of the material has a number of features.

In most cases, gel polish in cans is called paint - this is due to its wide color palette. Despite the fact that the composition of the paint is similar to the structure of gel polish, there are several nuances: the paint is used exclusively for design and is removed from the nails with a special solvent.

Employees of beauty salons love to work with gels in jars, as it is very convenient to mix them and get the desired color. Since the brush is not supplied with this material, you need to purchase this tool separately (it can be of various lengths and sizes). This will give you the opportunity to turn your manicure into a real masterpiece.

Gel polish in jars has a number of distinctive characteristics, among them are the following:

• a huge selection of colors;
• the coating does not require a large-scale cut of the surface of the nail plate;
• it is possible to obtain the desired shade by mixing colors;
• during drying, you can make a correction to the pattern;
• preservation of a presentable look up to 20 calendar days.

The process of applying this material is no different from applying standard gel varnishes in bottles. So let's get started:

• we process the nail plates: cut off the cuticle, shape it and do not forget to degrease;
• using a buff, remove the top layer from the nails;
• cover with a protective layer (primer) and dry;
• we apply the base and proceed to coating the nails with gel polish (of any color to your taste);
• gently apply gel polish to the nail plate with a brush;
• apply the coating until a saturated shade is obtained (3-4 times);
• after each layer, dry the nails with a UV lamp;
• then we apply a thin layer of fixative to each nail and send it back for drying;
• long-lasting and stylish manicure is ready.

The design options are very varied. Your marigolds can be decorated with multi-colored stretch marks and overflows, tint transitions. You can also use rhinestones, sparkling sequins, powder and lace in your work.

Jars of gel polish are widely represented on counters and in online stores. In this case, it is best not to skimp and purchase a quality product. Note that gel polish in jars is produced by various companies, in most cases - foreign. It is best to give your preference to a well-known brand that has already found confirmation of the quality of its products.

Storage conditions for gel polishes are simple:

• after use, it is necessary to firmly close the lid of the can so that air does not get into it;
• do not store jars of gel polish near a UV lamp - its rays negatively affect the material and lead to its destruction.

Unfortunately, sometimes the manicure can turn out to be of poor quality. The reason for this is improper work with gel polishes. Therefore, when applying, pay attention to the following:

• make sure all layers are thin;
• avoid getting varnish on the skin - this threatens with chips on the entire nail plate;
• remove leftover gel paint with orange peel;
• remove the sticky effect with a special liquid;
• in order to increase the period of wearing the gel polish, it is necessary to apply the material to the end of the nail.

Summing up, we can easily say that gel varnishes in cans are almost no different from coatings in bottles. And various brushes that you purchase on your own will help make your manicure colorful and unique.
