Drawing on shellac
After applying the gel polish and drying it will leave a slightly sticky layer on the nails. If you are planning a drawing, there is no need to remove this layer, since it can provide the correct smooth brush strokes.
Take a kolinsky brush and a manicure dot with a tip. To get beautiful swirls and patterns, apply dots using dots. Then use a brush to pull the varnish away from the point in the direction you want.
Shellac application process
First, we file the nails, treat them with cleaning liquid and dry them. Next, we give the nail plate a matte finish using tools and abrasives. We cover the nails with shellac of the desired shade and dry them in a UV lamp. Remove the shellac from the skin of the fingers, if any, and lubricate the cuticle with oil. Recently, shellac has surpassed gel nail polish in terms of performance, winning the hearts of more and more women around the world every day.

Correct application technique
After hardware or classical treatment of nails, they must be degreased. A base is applied to the surface of the nail plate. After it has completely dried under a UV lamp, you can begin choosing a color. If you want a bright and rich design, then it is better to cover the nail plate in 2 layers. The final stage of the procedure is the application of a protective layer.
Nail art professionals do not recommend using moisturizers before visiting them. They prevent the base layer from fixing to the nail plate. In addition, it is better to postpone the procedure if you are taking antibiotic therapy or are pregnant or breastfeeding. The listed conditions are accompanied by changes in hormonal levels, which make it difficult to fix the base on the nail plate.

Shellac kits
In order to apply such a coating, an ultraviolet lamp is most necessary. Only under it does the shellac polymerize, that is, dry. This feature, similar to a gel, is the key to its stability. Its power should be at least 18 watts; at any other power the shellac will not dry.
A lint-free wipe, which is used when applying gel or extensions, is also absolutely necessary and irreplaceable. It removes the residual sticky layer from the surface of the polymerized coating. Almost all other tools and materials, with the exception of shellac itself, the base for it and the top coat, are universal and can be used for any manicure.
Recently, so-called ready-made shellac sets have appeared on sale. At its core, it is a product that includes a number of specific items and products that are necessary to perform a shellac manicure. Such kits are usually distributed through online stores; much less often they can be found in retail outlets for nail service professionals.
Based on the type of delivery and configuration, they are divided into minimal (also called starter or entry-level), medium (for advanced users, etc.) and professional (full). They differ in the quantity and quality of materials and tools, and the company. Depending on this, naturally, the price varies. Speaking about how much a set for shellac (shilac) costs, it is worth noting that the price also depends on the quality of the lamp. It is logical that a starter kit will be cheaper than a professional one when we are talking about the same brand.
A manicure kit for shellac nails at home can be produced immediately in finished form from the manufacturer, or it can be completed in a warehouse from the contents of an online store, that is, it can represent a certain promotion. The second option is usually cheaper than the first, even if the brands of all components are similar. According to its intended purpose, a set of shellac for home can be intended for French manicure and one that allows you to create only a single-color coating. You can most often choose the color of the varnish in the set yourself. In those at-home shellac kits, the price of which is lower and which is stocked in the warehouse by store employees, the choice is much wider.
