Biogel - a natural composition for strengthening the nail plate
Nail care
Beauty salons offer a huge number of products and procedures for hand and nail care. Among them it is worth highlighting the following:
- Strengthening with silk. An extremely thin fabric is applied to the nail plate. As a result, the client receives long and strong nails.
- Paraffin therapy. The procedure is indicated for representatives of the fair sex who suffer from dry hands and nails.
- Sealing the nail. The service has another name - Japanese manicure. It is indicated for those who want to improve the condition of their nails by covering them with a special paste based on beeswax.
- Professional masks. They are performed in courses. Masks relieve brittleness, dryness, and splitting of the nail plate.
- Strengthening with biogel. The product protects nails from damage and allows you to grow to the desired length.
Visiting beauty salons is a pleasant, but quite expensive activity. Therefore, not everyone can afford it. Home procedures that you can do yourself come to the rescue.
Not everyone can visit a beauty salon.
Regular home care should include the following steps:
- Cleansing. This means keeping hands and nails clean, removing nail polish (if necessary);
- Masks and baths. You can use not only store-bought products, but also home-made products. The procedures are useful for nail problems;
- Moisturizing and nutrition. They can be intended for both nails and hands in general;
- Proper nutrition. It is the key to not only healthy nails, but also the whole body.
To keep your nails looking neat, you need to use nail polish removers without acetone and wear gloves when doing all housework.
Biogel - what is it and how to use it
Biogel for manicure and pedicure is very easy to use - the gel acts in several, so to speak, stages: first of all, the biogel penetrates the dry skin of the hands and feet (meaning rough areas of skin and nail areas). The second step is interaction with water. When we lower the treated areas into the bath, the gel begins to “loose” the dead tissue, and after a few minutes we can remove them using a wooden manicure spatula or a heel file, in the case of a pedicure.
The product acts not only as a peeling and biogel, but also has antiseptic properties and fights pathogenic microflora. Thanks to the content of Aloe Vera in the preparation, its regenerating effect is enhanced - redness or irritation of the upper layers of the epidermis “calms down”, microcracks on the surface of the skin heal faster.
At the end of the procedure and to improve the result, it is recommended to use your favorite moisturizer. You can add a few drops of essential oil to it, and then we will have our own little home SPA. All recommendations and instructions are indicated on the biogel bottles, but do not forget that before any cosmetic procedure it is better to make sure that you will not have an allergic reaction.

Step-by-step instructions for strengthening with biogel
Strengthening nails with gel at home for beginners step by step
When covering your nails, you must follow a certain technique, without which the material will simply become useless. In order for the strengthening to take place properly, it is necessary to perform all actions in stages:
- Removing the oily layer from the nails.
- Grinding the nail plate with a special file (buff).
- Application of the base layer and biogel.
- Polymerization in LED or UV lamp.
- Apply a second layer of product (if necessary) and dry it in a lamp.
- Creating a design: using rhinestones, drawings, stickers and other elements.
- Applying the finishing coat.
To obtain a high-quality result, before using the product, you need to do a manicure: create a shape with a nail file and trim the cuticle. There should be no damage to the skin around the nail.
Important! To avoid material detachment, it is necessary to apply all coatings no closer than 1 mm from the edge of the cuticle.
The applied coating will last for at least two weeks, but only if the nails are not exposed to aggressive chemical agents.
To strengthen your nails, you will need the following items: a file, a finishing (top) coat, a brush, a primer, a product for removing the sticky layer (from the finish), biogel, and an LED lamp.
Coating cannot be done without an LED lamp
The gel is not applied in a thick layer. While wearing the covering, all housework should be done with gloves. To remove nail polish, it is better to use a liquid that does not contain acetone.
The advantage of the coating is that it is not cut off, but dissolved with a special agent, as a result of which the structure of the nail is not damaged.

Biogel for covering natural nails
Those who are just starting to learn the basics of the profession should pay attention to transparent gels. They strengthen the nail plate, make hands well-groomed, smooth out unevenness on the nails, strengthen them, and saturate them with vitamins and other useful components.
Important! Under the hardener layer, the nail “breathes.” It does not deteriorate, but is leveled and strengthened. Such properties allow you to avoid taking breaks between coatings.
Strengthening nails under shellac
Strengthening nails with biogel under shellac changes in several details:
- There is no need to apply the first preparatory base layer before applying shellac. Its function is performed by a strengthener.
- After applying the gel, a layer of finish or shellac is applied.
Shellac creates beauty on the surface of the nail, while biogel improves its structure. With the correct application technology, nails will delight their owner with an attractive appearance.
Shellac allows for creative design
What is biogel
Biogel appeared in cosmetology more than 30 years ago. This material was specially developed for creating manicures: it is intended for both extension and strengthening of the nail plate.
Biogel composition
Biogel is a soft and plastic material. The main part of its components are natural products: resins from various trees growing in South Africa, for example teak tree , protein (about 2/3 of the composition) and other safe substances. In addition, it contains vitamins A and E. Therefore, harm to the nail plate from biogel is absolutely excluded.
And the presence of protein is its undoubted advantage over other manicure materials. Covering nails with biogel allows you to create a reliable shell that does not crack or crumble; with its help you can restore the nail and give it the opportunity to strengthen.
Features of the use of biogel
Biogel can be transparent and colored. Due to this, it can be used not only as a strengthening agent , but also as a decorative coating and create an original manicure.
In addition, you can always change colors thanks to the current palette. Biogel is great for creating a pedicure . With its help you can make your legs well-groomed and beautiful.
Biogel is often used to repair damaged nails . With its help, you can not only reliably close the crack, but also build up a damaged nail.
Biogel is not recommended for use on very thin and long nails, because under its influence the nail plate at the edges can curl into a tube and the entire treatment and care procedure will lose effectiveness.
Since biogel is made from natural ingredients, it is considered as safe as possible and can be used even by expectant mothers. And this gives women the opportunity to have well-groomed hands during pregnancy.
Biogel nail coating
The product is deservedly in demand among customers. It has no contraindications, so it can be used by women of different ages. The coating will not harm pregnant women, which is its significant advantage over other means.
Biogel for gel polish
Many girls wonder whether it is possible to strengthen nails with biogel under gel polish. The answer will be positive. The product can be used as a base product. The advantage of the coating is that it protects the nail plate from the influence of gel polish.
The application technology is no different from conventional biogel coating:
- Nail preparation (manicure, removal of old coatings);
- Applying a base layer;
- Coating with a hardener and drying in an LED lamp;
- When creating a design, the nail is covered with color;
- Each new layer is dried in a lamp;
- Coating with a top layer and drying;
- Removing the sticky layer with alcohol or a special product.
This completes the coating, nothing more needs to be done.
Reviews of biogel Runeil
Crocozybra:
“I decided to learn how to do my own manicure, and my first purchase was an ultraviolet lamp. Since my nails are very brittle and thin, I decided to strengthen them and bought a very expensive biogel. It applied poorly and did not give any results at all, but after reading the reviews about Runeil biogel, it seemed good to me, and its price was reasonable. I immediately bought 6 pieces, half of which were colored, and the other half for nail modeling.
Colored gels are dense and fit well on the nails, but their smell is unpleasant. Modeling biogels are good, but a little liquid; you need practice with them to learn how to apply them correctly. In addition, biogels do not leave yellowness on the nails and strengthen them. So now I can strengthen my nails and build them up at home.
To the questions of many girls about how long the biogel lasts, I can answer that it’s different every time, because it all depends on the care. If I often wash dishes and do housework, the biogel can last two weeks, maximum four weeks with correction.”
Elena:
“I decided to try using biogel under gel polish, since it never lasted long for me. I bought only two biogels: one transparent, the second colored. The only negative is that I didn’t notice the difference between them, because pink (colored) does not give the nails any color at all. But the manicure now lasts longer and its quality is much better. During the New Year holidays there were only two chips, and that was because the nails were under water every day.
The biogel dries very well, does not take much time, and the nail is well leveled, after which the application of gel polish is easy and smooth. I learned how to apply it myself from video lessons, and so far I’m happy with the results.”
Advice from experienced manicurists
Masters with a long history of working with strengthening agents (including biogel) recommend following these tips:
- Do not expose the hardener to high temperatures, cleaning agents, solvents or liquids containing alcohol.
- When applying, the product should not get on the skin around the nail, otherwise it will separate and will not last long.
- If a colored layer is applied to a colorless biogel, then to change the manicure it is enough to remove the top layer of color and apply another one you like.
- After use, rinse the brushes thoroughly. For soaking, your usual nail polish remover will do.
- When removing and applying products, it is important to follow the technology.
- The combination of biogels and gel polishes is allowed, but in practice problems may arise. If the layers begin to delaminate, then the matter may not be due to incorrect application, but to a “conflict” of materials. For better results, strengthening gels should not be used with gel polishes from other companies.
Do not expose coated nails to household chemicals.
If you follow the conditions for applying layers of biogel and choose the right manufacturers, you can strengthen your nails and create an interesting and unique design.
Why do you need biogel?
Biogels are designed to strengthen nails, including providing nutrition for those nails that are peeling or breaking. Unlike gel polishes and acrylic extensions, biogels do not have a negative effect on nails; on the contrary, they nourish the nail plate and allow it to breathe. Therefore, such unpleasant consequences as discoloration or the development of a fungal infection are completely excluded.
Biogel gives nails a healthy appearance and prevents cracks, and the tips of the nails do not break. In addition, the application of biogel creates a coating that is resistant to impact. This type of manicure, in which biogel is applied, is recommended for girls who have problems with their natural nail plate or after removing extended nails. Often after any type of extension, natural nails require restoration, and this process takes a lot of time. But if you get a manicure using biogel, your nails will quickly recover and return to their previous appearance.
