A well-groomed and elegant woman pays attention to every centimeter of her body, even those parts that are hidden most of the time. Pedicure belongs to this part of a stylish and graceful image. Toenails are found in shoes, socks and tights almost all year round, but this does not mean that they do not require careful care and attention.
The key to healthy and neat nails is constant care. If you perform a pedicure on your feet from time to time, they will lose their attractive appearance. Pedicure is a separate broad topic in nail design, because more laconic nail art and shades are used to decorate toenails. The coating also deserves special attention. For pedicures, the usual gel polish is most often used, but in recent seasons girls have begun experimenting with shellac and other techniques. In our review we will fully cover the topic of pedicure using the popular shellac coating.

In order for the pedicure to look as rich as possible, you should not focus only on the brightness of the varnish coating. It is also worth using bright or iridescent decorative products. Many girls very often use matte finishes to decorate their nails, thereby muting the bright shades. In some cases, a matte red pedicure is decorated with graphics, rhinestones and shiny elements. This work of art will serve as an excellent option not only on holidays, but also on harsh everyday life.
Preparing toenails for applying gel polish
Preparing the nail plates of the toes for shellac coating begins with strengthening and nourishing . It is important to understand that a pedicure using this gel polish will last a long time: at least 3 weeks. Making nourishing baths, using masks and nail creams during this period will be useless, since nutrients, even at their maximum concentration, will not be able to penetrate through the thick film.
At least 4-5 days before applying shellac, it is necessary to remove the remnants of previously applied coatings from the nails. Throughout this period, it is advisable to use nourishing creams that match the type of skin on the feet and the characteristics of the nail plates.
Immediately before applying gel polish, you can take a hot foot bath with aromatic substances, but not oil-based. After this, your feet must be thoroughly dried.

What are the benefits of shellac?
The popularity of gel polish as a means to create a beautiful manicure quickly grew into the popularity of pedicure polish. Users and nail technicians appreciate the durability and stability of shellac. If on the hands, the coating lasts 10-15 days, then on the legs, shellac will last up to two months. This is explained by the fact that the toes are still less susceptible to mechanical action. Plus, gel polish, applied according to the rules, will protect your toenails from the harmful effects of the sun, less than clean water in our reservoirs and other factors that your feet are exposed to during the summer.
Considering that the nail plates on the toes do not grow as quickly as on the fingers, a high-quality pedicure once every one and a half to two months will be quite enough. That is, having done a high-quality treatment of your toenails at the beginning of summer, you can show off and show off your pedicure in the photo until mid-summer. And on the eve of vacation, transform your legs with a new pedicure design.
In addition to the durability of the coating, shellac pleases with a wide color palette. The bright, rich color will delight the owner of a pedicure for several weeks in a row. Plus, applying shellac to nails does not require special knowledge. Having once mastered the technology of creating a beautiful pedicure with gel polish, every girl will not want to return to using regular varnishes.
In most cases, shellacs do not cause allergic reactions in the body. If you are prone to allergies, it is recommended to purchase a hypoallergenic product. It will not only prevent the development of allergic manifestations, but also protect the nail plates from the negative effects of water, sun, wind and dust.

The difference between shellac and other coatings
Shellac differs from other coatings, including gel polish, with which it is similar primarily in composition. Gel polish is a component of shellac. Shellac does not contain any formaldehyde, only natural resins. Shellac is easier to remove from nails than gel or gel polish. It's more convenient and safer. Gel polish does not dissolve, it must be filed off; such a radical procedure is not required to remove shellac. How to remove the coating:
- Cut 5 cotton pads in half.
- Soak them in nail polish remover.
- Place on your nails and wrap them in foil.
- Wait 25 minutes.
- Remove foil and cover.
- Sand the surface of the nail.
