Step by Step Actions
First step
In order for the base coat to bond well to the nail, it is necessary to sand the nail plate with a buff file. Especially at the base of the nails and its edges. We bring the nails into proper condition: we shape them, clean them and remove excess cuticles.
Nails prepared with a buff file
Next, clean your nails with a cotton pad or cloth soaked in a degreaser.
Carefully remove the cuticle, otherwise you may cut the skin and release blood, which will not stop for a long time. This will slow down your process.
Second step
Proceed to apply the base coat to the nail plate. Do this very carefully. The layer should be the thinnest. Your manicure will last as long as possible if you paint your nails on the inside and outside. Next, we need a UV lamp with a desired power of more than 36 W. About 1-2 minutes and everything is ready. With lower power it will take 3 to 5 minutes.
Applying a base coat to the nail plate
When choosing a lamp, pay attention to its power, this will save your time, and your manicure will become durable and wear time will increase.
Third step
Let's start applying colored gel polish. When covering your nails with gel, be careful; the layer must be thin. If varnish gets on your skin, immediately remove it with an orange stick. We don't need a coating for the inside. We place our hand in the lamp and hold it for 4 to 5 minutes, the time is indicated for a lamp from 36 W, but if less, then increase it to 6-7 minutes.

Step four
When applying the second layer of gel polish, the color becomes bright and saturated, this is due to the thicker layer. We polymerize the manicure for approximately the same number of minutes.
Step five
The time has come to use the fixer. This product helps in giving the manicure brightness, color saturation and strength. You will need to apply the fixative twice, and the drying time is the same. At this stage, you apply the top coat to the inside of the nail plate.
Step six
Soak a napkin or disc in degreaser and remove the sticky layer from the nail.
Step seven
The last step is to use a cuticle oil product. Slowly rub into base of nail and let dry. Use a regular nail file to remove any remaining shellac from the skin.
When choosing cuticle oil, give preference to citrus fruits; they have a beneficial effect on the skin, perfectly soften and promote rejuvenation.
Manicure with rhinestones
Technique for performing manicure with rhinestones:
- Nail and cuticle treatment.
- Removal of dust, degreasing.
- Applying a base, then a coating with step-by-step drying in a lamp.
- Using glue, make a diagram of the pattern (if it is a complex decor) on a note.
- Using a needle or toothpick, pry up the rhinestone and place it on the glue previously applied to the nail.
- After fixing all decorative elements, apply a fixing coating so that the rhinestones adhere firmly to the nails.
- Dry in a lamp.
- Treat the cuticle with oil.
A manicure with rhinestones is no different in execution from a standard colored varnish coating. The only subtlety is that it is better to apply all decorative elements last, before the fixing coating . Otherwise, they may lose their shine and transparency.
How and with what to remove gel polish from nails at home
What you will need:
- Liquid for removing shellac, gel polish or regular polish;
- Cotton pads/cotton wool;
- Foil.
What are you doing:
- Remove the top top layer with a buffer file;
- Soak cotton pads in the liquid and wrap one nail around each finger. On top of the disc or cotton coating - wrap each nail in foil (to prevent the evaporation of liquid from the nails);
- After this procedure (it lasts about 15-20 minutes), you can remove everything and remove the residue using an orange stick or a polishing file.
If the varnish layer was very thick, it is possible to repeat the above procedure.
Don’t try to remove gel polish at home by filing it down; you’re unlikely to succeed, but you’ll definitely be able to ruin your nails.

Why short nails are in fashion
In 2022, manicure on short nails came into fashion. This is the embodiment of tenderness and naturalness. The oval shape allows you to look discreet and tasteful. The maximum length should not be more than 2-3 millimeters from the edge of the nail.
Today, sharp nails are vulgar, completely uncomfortable to wear, and yes, they are not at all fashionable.
Short nails undergo better care; it is not only beautiful, but also hygienic. There is no longer that heap of germs under your nails that there used to be. The length allows you to hide the ugly shape of the nail plate, which is a salvation for many.
Most drawings look exactly at this length. The designs are varied: from cartoon characters to geometric shapes. Almost the entire color palette is ideal on short nails.
A short manicure allows you to lead an active life, do chores around the house and not think about convenience. The wearing period reaches one month.

Myths about gel polish
After this information, girls will no longer be distrustful of gel coating.
Myth one: Wearing gel on your nails for a long time makes them uncomfortable and you should take a break from it. The nail plate is a keratinized part and it is not at all necessary to breathe. The nail is nourished with the help of the matrix*.
The matrix is the place where nail formation occurs. Epithelial cells provide nutrition to the nail plate.
Myth two The myth that shellac is better is complete absurdity. Gel and shellac are the same thing. Everything here is extremely simple - the manufacturer gives these products different names.
Myth three: A thin nail plate does not hold the gel coating. Many manicurists distribute this information. The gel will disappear in one single case, if your master is incompetent. In all other cases, the coating will only strengthen and protect your nail from external influences.
Myth Four You can wear gel on your nails for more than 3-4 weeks. After this time, the nail begins to crack and break along with the coating. There is no more aesthetics.
To ensure that your nails are well-groomed and beautiful, go to a trusted nail technician. Nobody canceled the correction!
