Composition of biogel for nails
All the caring properties of this product lie in its balanced composition made from natural materials. With regular application of biogel to nails, they become stronger and gain elasticity. These products are produced by many manufacturers, but the basic composition is the same for all:
— minerals; - tix tree resin; — organic proteins; - vitamins A, .
Thanks to these components, the use of biogel not only has a cosmetic effect on the nail plate, but also a healing one, making the structure of its epithelium stronger. This procedure is especially indicated for nails that are naturally weak or damaged after regular extensions.
Types of biogel for nails
■ Transparent biogel.
Most often used as a base coat. It dries quickly in about 2 minutes. It can be used to treat small cracks in nails and strengthen them. The application of transparent biogel does not provide shine to the nail bed, so nail polish is applied on top of it. Any nail design can be done on top of the colorless biogel.
■ Colored biogel.
It is an independent product that is applied to the nail in 2 layers. Colored biogels take longer to dry than transparent ones, but they crack less often and strengthen the nails more. Colored biogel gives you a lot of imagination for creativity and creating any type of manicure.
■ Sculptural biogel.
The sculptural biogel contains silk extract, which strengthens and moisturizes the nail and makes the nail plate elastic and durable. It is an opaque, natural-colored gel. Sculptural biogel is often used to “sculpt” the free edge of the nail and in the aquarium design technique.
■ Royal Sealer biogel.
This biogel solves several problems: whitens nails, neutralizes the yellowness and grayness of the nail bed due to its bluish color; used as a finishing coating; adds shine and shine to manicure. Available in transparent or multi-colored colors. It is often used when performing classic French manicure.
■ S-coating.
This biogel has a rigid base, the independent composition of which does not require the use of additional fixatives. This coating strengthens nails well and is used for nail extensions.
■ UV biogel.
Designed to protect the nail plate from UV radiation. Most often used for summer manicure. Apply over the base coat as a sealer. Dries very quickly, less than a minute. UV biogel brightens the nail well and moisturizes the cuticle.

Extension or strengthening of nails with biogel?
Many people mistakenly believe that any biogel can be used to extend nails. This is not entirely true, only hard S-coating is used as a biogel nail extension procedure. When using other biogels, the nail plate does not lengthen, but only strengthens and is protected from the effects of adverse environmental conditions. In some cases, with broken nails, biogel can help restore them; it can fix microcracks in the nail plate.
The process of using biogel involves applying it to natural nails, without the use of tips and forms (except for S-coating): the plates are not extended, but strengthened and decorated with various designs.
Why use biogel
After the procedure of strengthening with biogel
The advantage of biogel over other means is that it allows the nail plate to breathe. It decorates your nails without damaging them. Extension with this material takes two hours. After applying the composition, no recovery is required. It helps both strengthen nails and protect against negative influences. When coated with gel, the plates remain elastic.
Strengthening with this material can be carried out immediately after a manicure with gel. The product is durable and bright, does not lose color saturation for a long time. Drawings are made on top of the biogel and the design is complemented with sparkles or rhinestones. The monochromatic coating also looks beautiful. Biogel can be purchased in a variety of colors.
A special liquid is used for removal. If the layer turns out to be dense, first go over it with a buff. This makes the surface porous. Then the removal solution is applied to a napkin, pressed against the nail plate, and tightly wrapped in foil. After 15 minutes the material is ready for removal. If necessary, the surface of the nail plate is again treated with a buff. The gentler the removal, the greater the effect of strengthening.
What is better - shellac or biogel?
Often these two types of manicure are confused with each other, considering them the same. The technology for applying shellac is similar to biogel and allows the coating to remain on the surface of the nails for a long time. But this procedure is only cosmetic. Using biogel, you can not only get a long-lasting and high-quality manicure, but also combine business with pleasure: make your nails beautiful and healthy. The natural composition of biogel gives it an advantage over other materials for nail art.
Pros and cons of strengthening
Biogel allows the nail to breathe and does not deteriorate under a layer of varnish. The natural composition of this product helps restore the stratum corneum.
The procedure for applying biogel is much shorter than the process of applying other polymers. After removing the coating, the nail remains healthy, moisturized, and does not turn yellow.
Disadvantages of the procedure:
- high cost (compared to gel polish or acrylic coating);
- frequent correction: at least 2-3 times a month;
- nails with biogel are less strong than with acrylic.
The disadvantages are inferior to the advantages of this procedure. It’s better to overpay a little and use biogel than to end up with yellow, thinned nails that will flake and break.
Disadvantages of biogel
This material has few disadvantages. Despite its effective healing effect, it cannot completely protect manicure from the negative effects of chemicals and water on the nail plate, although biogel somewhat mitigates the damage caused by household chemicals. The components of the biogel are “defenseless” against methyl alcohol, and in order to protect your nails and skin, you must do your homework with gloves.
Technique for applying biogel to strengthen nails
By following the rules for using biogel, you can learn how to give yourself a beautiful manicure at home with a dual function: decor + health improvement. This process should begin with the preparation of materials and tools:
— base coat; — transparent or colored biogel; - degreaser; — top coating; - sanding buffer; - nail file; — brush for applying biogel; — lamp for drying (UV or LED); - cuticle remover; - orange sticks.
The first time the manicure procedure with biogel will take a lot of time, but with a little experience the speed of execution will increase significantly.
Strengthening nails with biogel: technology step by step with photos
Stage 1: preparing the nail plate
The nails must be given the desired shape and length on all fingers by filing the free edge. Use an orange stick to push back the cuticle and remove it using a special product. It is not recommended to use nippers to avoid injury and subsequent inflammation, which will cause discomfort during the application of biogel.
Stage 2: degreasing
This is a necessary step for a quality manicure. On nails treated with a degreaser, the biogel applies more smoothly and lasts longer.
Stage 3: base coat
The base is applied once, always in a thin layer, retreating approximately 1 mm from the cuticle. This will prevent the material from coming off and chipping and extend the life of the manicure. The base coat on the nails must be dried under a UV lamp for 30 seconds. You can find out more about this time in the instructions for this product.
Stage 4: color coating
Nails are covered with transparent or colored biogel in one layer. You can roughly divide the nail into 3 zones. Dip the brush into the biogel and start laying it out from the end of the nail, this will be the first zone and so on. Then dry the nail under the lamp. The time is also determined by the instructions for this coating (approximately 60-90 seconds). If you want to make the color more saturated, the procedure is repeated. To protect the manicure from chipping and peeling, biogel is applied to the nail 1 mm from the cuticle. The free edge of the plate is sealed and additionally dried under a lamp for 30 seconds.
Stage 5: design creation
Manicure decor is performed on a finished colored layer in the form of painting, designs on nails, decoration with rhinestones, stickers, silk, decals or sliders. At this stage you can show your artistic abilities. The main thing is that the design is in harmony with the style of clothing and accessories.
Stage 6: top coat
It is applied to decorated nails coated with colored or transparent biogel, sealing the free edge.
In addition to manicure, you can do a pedicure using biogel. A pedicure with biogel will protect and strengthen your toenails, while making them beautiful.
How else to improve the condition of your nail plates
To strengthen your nail plates in a minimum of time, you can use the Strengthener from the “Smart Enamel” series from Frenchi. This product is enriched with vitamins A, E, as well as diamond chips. When applied to nails, it creates a shiny protective film, used as a base for varnish or as a final layer of manicure.
Allows you to quickly and effortlessly carry out a treatment course to restore nails. The step-by-step instructions show that it is not difficult to use. The “Smart Enamel” hardener is applied to the clean surface of the nail plates and wait until it dries. If necessary, apply a second layer. One layer is applied daily, the previous ones are not washed off. On the sixth day, the Smart Enamel Strengthener is removed.
You can improve the condition of your nails and give them a well-groomed appearance at home. If you follow the recommendations for working with materials, they will bring the greatest benefit. Strengthening nails with biogel requires some skill, but the result will please you in 2 to 4 weeks. Methods for protecting and improving the condition of nail plates perfectly combine treatment and aesthetics.
How to remove biogel correctly
Removing biogel should be given no less attention than applying it. The process is not difficult; you can master it yourself by preparing the necessary materials:
- tape or plaster; - cotton pads; - food foil; - sanding buffer; — a professional remover, liquid for removing acrylic or gel polish, or, as a last resort, alcohol; - orange sticks.
Step-by-step removal of biogel from photo
Step 1
Alcohol will help dissolve the natural components of the biogel and speed up the procedure for its removal. To do this, cotton pads need to be cut into pieces and moistened with alcohol or remover. Then you should lay them on your nails and secure them with tape or adhesive tape.
Step 2
Wrap each finger with a piece of foil. This will allow you to activate the process of alcohol exposure to the coating.
Step 3
Remove the foil and remove the cotton pads.
Step 4
Carefully and carefully remove the softened biogel with an orange stick.
Step 5
Sand the surface of cleaned nails with a buff.
If you use alcohol, then in order not to dry out the nail plate, it must be diluted with water before preparing the materials for removing the biogel. But it is better to use a professional remover. The vitamins and minerals in its composition nourish and strengthen the nail plate.
Regular use of biogel to create a manicure allows you to further strengthen your nails, make the plates strong and flexible, protect them from brittleness and delamination, and accelerate their growth. If complete removal of the biogel is not planned, it is necessary to carry out correction approximately every 3-4 weeks. These terms depend on the speed of regrowth of the free edge of the nail plate. Using this modern material, you can create an original manicure while maintaining the beauty and health of your nails.
Biogel at home
One of the main advantages of biogel is its simple application at home. Of course, you will have to spend a little money in order to buy the necessary tools and the material itself.
Here's what you'll have to fork out for:
- Ultraviolet lamp;
- artificial bristle brushes No. 6-7;
- files 100/180 grit;
- buffs 240/500 grit;
- degreaser;
- primer without acid;
- special finishing gel;
- biogel.
Using this material you can extend your nails, do a long-term manicure, or strengthen them. Apart from extensions, everything is done according to the same scheme:
- Prepare the nail. Remove cuticle. Degrease.
- Shape the nail. Use a buff to remove the natural shine. Remove dust. Degrease again.
- Apply primer. Dry.
- Using a brush, carefully apply the required number of layers of biogel. There can be from 3 to 6. Each layer needs to be dried for 2 minutes under the rays of a UV lamp, and only the last one - for at least 5 minutes.
- Finally, apply finishing gel. Dry under a lamp.
- Remove the sticky layer of the topcoat using a non-acid primer.
That's all!
