Gel polishes for French manicure are available in a wide range, including colorless ones. Camouflage polish is used as a base for French manicure, but the palette of such a product is not particularly diverse.

Thermo varnishes create interesting effects on nails. Under the influence of heat, this composition changes its color.

And not necessarily in winter, they are also spectacular in summer - pick up a cold drink or ice cream and your manicure will sparkle with a new color. But do not think that all shades are monotonous in their effect. There are compositions where, due to a change in temperature, only the shade of the color changes, and there are compositions where the color itself changes dramatically. The company even released a series of thermal gels with glitter.

Recently, a new single-phase gel polish “Bluesky one step” appeared on store shelves. This line of products is unusual in that for the complete design you will only need a bottle of gel polish: a base coat and fixer will not be needed.

Bluesky took this point into account. She produces basic products and tops. But the high quality of gel polishes allows you to use products from other manufacturers.

How to apply

In order for the coating to retain its original appearance, it is necessary to do a proper manicure. Let's look at the sequence of applying gel polish.

Nail preparation

In order for the coating to stick well, the nail must be properly treated. Remove the cuticle and treat the nail surface with a buff or file to create a rough surface. Give the nail the desired shape, then thoroughly degrease. Apply primer.

Base coat

A small amount of base is applied to the brush. A thin layer of base is carefully applied to the prepared nail, avoiding contact with the side ridges. Dry in a UV lamp for 2 minutes, in an LED lamp for 30 seconds.

Application of Bluesky brand base

Color

Having collected a little varnish on the brush, slowly spread it over the nail. It is important to immediately remove excesses and errors if this occurs. Seal the free edge of the nail. Dry in a UV lamp for 2 minutes, in an LED lamp for 30 seconds. Apply 2-4 layers, depending on the consistency of the varnish. Dry each layer in a lamp.

To ensure the color goes on evenly, apply the product in a thin layer. It is better to apply more thin and neat layers than a couple of thick ones.

Fixing coating

At the next stage, apply the top coat, brushing the free edge of the nail. Dry in a UV lamp for 2 minutes, in an LED lamp for 30 seconds.

Completion

At the end of the manicure, you need to degrease your nails again, thereby removing the sticky layer of top coat. If the top is without a sticky layer, you can skip this point. Next, moisturizing oil is applied to the cuticle.
