Let's look at the features of using 3-in-1 gel polish and compare how much better or worse such coatings are compared to traditional ones.
Application of gel polish 3 in 1
Nail extensions
Nail extension is a salon procedure, since it will still be difficult for a non-professional manicurist. If you think that you can do this manicure yourself, then maybe our article will help you with this. Nail extensions are divided into two types:
- traditional three-phase, when all three stages of gel application are performed using three different gels;
- single-phase, in which all three stages are carried out with the same gel.
All types of extensions consist of three stages:
- the first layer is applied to protect the nails, it prevents the layers from peeling off and is called the base gel;
- the second one models the nail, and the gel has a similar name;
- third - gives the nail plate strength and shine when applying glossy gel.
Three-phase application of gel during extensions is a labor-intensive process that requires appropriate skills.
