Not so long ago, for nail design, manicure masters used acrylic paints. With their help, it was possible to create beautiful drawings, but they were notable for their fragility. In just a few days, the drawing could get spoiled by household chemicals or even a little housework.
Gel paint for nails
To solve this problem, many manufacturers of nail extension materials have come up with new material. So there was gel paint for nails. This is a kind of hybrid paint with gel, which is able to dry only with an ultraviolet lamp. Now clients have the opportunity to enjoy exquisite patterns on the nails until the next correction.
Features of use
Gel paint for nails has a dense texture, saturated color. Its main advantage is that it does not spread at all on the surface of the nail. This allows the master to work out the most delicate details of the pattern or pattern. They can create not only plane drawings, but also art paintings. A large color palette helps the master to cope with complex ideas. After the drawing is ready, it is dried in an ultraviolet lamp for 3 minutes and covered with a finish without an adhesive layer.
Gel-paint for nails is perfect for a French manicure. The smile line is carefully drawn with a thin or beveled brush, applying paint to the free edge with an even layer. Thanks to such a large selection of colors, the jacket can be varied, making it decorative or painted.
One of the main features of gel paints is the ability to mix them with each other, achieving new shades. Their quality does not suffer from mixing, but opens up the possibilities of new creative experiments.
So, in order to do design, you need to purchase a set of gel paints in primary colors and a set of special brushes for painting.
Most popular manufacturers
In the market of nail industry, a huge number of manufacturers who offer manicure masters their products. The most popular among professionals are gel-paint for nail design by Emi, Irisk, Magic, Creator and Kodi. All paints are available in a volume of 5 g. The main difference between them is the cost, density, variety of the palette.
The most expensive is Emi gel-paint for nails, as it is produced in Germany by special order and is of the highest quality. Emi also developed and patented a special black gel, with the help of which it became possible to create a design using the "casting" technique.
The Irisk color palette is not as rich as Emi. Most gel paints are in light shades and pastel colors. With their help, you can decorate nails for those who do not like flashy drawings and bright colors. The remaining manufacturers are distinguished by fairly moderate prices for gel paints, as well as good quality.
Kodi gel paints can be called a worthy analogue of Emi. However, Kodi is not suitable for creating the smile line of a French manicure. If the design occupies most of the nail, then it is recommended to cover it first with a thin layer of a transparent gel, and only then with a finish coating.
Thus, each master can collect his own collection of paints for work and creativity.
