Ideas for manicure with gel polish every day looking for a lot of girls. Photos on the Internet help more accurately convey to the master the desire of the client. But, before going to a manicure, many girls are worried about the question of how safe it is.

Gel Polish for manicure: pros and cons

Benefits of gel polish:

1. Long coverage. With careful handling of nails, gel polish is able to hold in its entirety for up to 3-4 weeks. Next, the nail plate grows, and the coating needs to be changed for aesthetic correction.
2. Strengthens nails. Unlike other types of coatings, gel polish does not make the nail plate heavier, which allows you to wear it for a long time without harm to the nails.
3. Ease of use. Having mastered the simple nail coating techniques, you can easily do manicure yourself at home, before purchasing the necessary tools.
4. Quick drying. To fix and dry the gel polish using a special lamp for manicure, it will take no more than 7-10 seconds for each layer. This can significantly reduce the time of the procedure.
5. Gel polish, unlike other types of coatings, is suitable for any form of nails. Therefore, it is not necessary to have long nails or build them up to use a gel coating in a manicure.

   

6. Reasonable price. Despite all the advantages, glue varnish is available.
7. Gel polish retains a beautiful shine throughout the period after application, which allows the manicure to look fresh and neat.

Minuses:

1. Removing the gel coating can take up to 30 minutes.
2. Some nails in structure (depending on individual characteristics) may not be suitable for gel coating. The varnish will crack, peel and not stick on the nails.
3. It is necessary to take a break of 7 days between the correction, so that the nails “rest” from this type of coating.
4. If the nail plate grows quickly, the manicure will have to be renewed every 1-2 weeks, as it will look unaesthetically on overgrown nails.
5. When deciding to do manicure yourself, you need to spend money on equipment and tools for gel polish coating at home.
6. Dry the nail plate. Before applying gel polish, the master always degreases the nail with a special tool. This can lead to an overdry of the nail plate.

The gel coating has many advantages. With the right approach to manicure, you can avoid possible troubles and get beautiful, shiny, neat nails for a long time.
