Many modern women increasingly prefer a persistent beautiful coating of nails with gel varnishes. This is a decorative hybrid product that incorporates special components. That is why such coatings harden only in the light of ultraviolet lamps. Many companies that produce products for nail service have a line dedicated to gel polishes. But CND Shellak became the most popular. This was one of the first such varnishes, and over time they began to call shellac not only a specific brand, but simply the procedure for coating the nail plate with this type of tool. More and more masters and beauty salons offer shellac coating. The ideas for creating a design are so diverse that they allow you to choose a manicure for all occasions. The price, of course, is higher than that of ordinary varnish, but also resistance can not be compared.
Coating technology
Unlike nail extensions, applying gel polish is a more gentle procedure. Only the gloss is removed from the nail, which does no harm if the procedure is done correctly. The coating technology is quite simple, so you can cope with it yourself at home. It includes the following steps: with a fine-grained nail file, the gloss is removed from the nail bed, then a base coat is applied, the lamp is dried for a certain time, then color gel polish, top coat, the sticky dispersion layer is removed. All layers undergo the polymerization process in the lamp according to the instructions for use. It is important to consider that they should be extremely thin, colored shellac should be applied in two or even three layers. Dark saturated shades may require a longer cure time.

To create a picture, colored gel varnishes or acrylic paints are used.

Features of durability and shellac socks
