The base coat is the first layer of nail polish applied during manicure. It is divided into three categories. One is to isolate colored nail polish and real nails to prevent pigmentation. One is to increase nail hardness to prevent breakage or delamination. Another is to prevent the nails from turning yellow.
Some friends think that the base coat is the transparent gel, but it is not. The base coat is used to protect the nails. It can not only protect the nails, but also show a lustrous luster. But clear nail polish cannot be used as a base coat, because it does not have the effect of preventing pigment penetration as a base coat.

Everyone can understand that the isolation cream used before makeup is used for isolation and protection. Without a primer before a manicure, your nails will quickly become brittle and yellow. Similarly, the base coat is different from the nail polish. The base coat can protect the nails, but it has no moisturizing effect on the nails.
Even if you just want a light coat of nail polish, you should apply a base coat first. The primer can protect the real nails from damage, prevent the nails from being stained by the nail polish, and at the same time improve the durability of the nail polish, you must remember to apply it before the manicure.
Shake the nail polish well. Shake the nail polish bottle gently before applying nail polish to make the color more even.
Apply primer. The role of the primer is to make the color last longer and prevent the nails from turning yellow or breaking.
Dip in nail polish. Dab a small amount of nail polish with the tip of the brush and sweep across the mouth of the bottle to remove excess.
Color the nails. First apply a stroke to the center of the nail, then apply the left and right sides, be careful to apply lightly, and then apply the second layer.
Repaint fingertips. After two coats of color, focus on the ends of the nails to make the color last longer.
Apply top coat. Finally, coat the nails with a clear top coat to give the nails a lustrous look.

This can also cause old nail polish to seep into the epidermis or environment, then use the manicure tool to trim the shape of the nail. When you're done, dip your hands in soapy water to soften the crust. Then use a towel to carefully clean the fingers and between the fingers and at the same time press the fingers slowly to bring the skin close to the nails. If necessary, use scissors and small tweezers to remove thorns and jagged dead skin at the nail base.
We all know that color is a visual reaction produced by light acting on the human eye. The reason why people form a sense of color is due to the light, and different colors may appear when illuminated by different light.
Since there are subtle differences between different color numbers of nail polish, in order to accurately assess the color of nail polish, it is necessary to test the color of nail polish. The traditional color evaluation method of nail polish mainly relies on direct visual observation of the human eye. Due to the influence of the observation light source environment, observation angle, and subjective psychological factors of observation, the evaluation results of nail polish color will be biased. In order to evaluate the color of nail polish more objectively and accurately, the color of nail polish can be detected in a standard light source box.

Grooming pens can come in handy when nail polish is applied to the skin.
Never put nail polish in the refrigerator. Too cold or too hot will just make the nail polish either too thick or too light.
Apply clear nail polish to your fingertips to keep your nails looking bright and stable.
Before choosing a color, you must first consider the effect you want to achieve, after that all in all, even if the color of the nude nail polish is similar, there is still a difference in depth. If you want to make your hands look white, choose a slightly darker polish to whiten your hands. If you want your fingers to look longer, choose a color that is similar to your skin tone to visually create a stretch. In short, don't choose a shade lighter than your skin tone, as this will make your skin look darker than if you didn't use the nail polish. If you like the regular style, just add a layer of gloss oil on top of the nail polish, which will add durability and shine. What's more, choosing a nail polish with shimmer particles or sequins will instantly bring the original understated nude to life. You can also do the opposite and make it a matte finish that looks rough.

In this article, we are going to explain in detail about fluorescents and hopefully help all nail art lovers to dispel their worries
First of all, we have three questions to answer
Fluorescent agent, also known as fluorescent whitening agent, is a fluorescent dye, or white dye, and a complex organic compound. It absorbs ultraviolet light and emits blue-violet fluorescence, which is neutralized with the yellow light produced by the object absorbing ultraviolet light, making the painted object look white and achieving the purpose of whitening.
Fluorescents are not irritating to the skin: After years of animal and human experiments, even fluorescent whitening products that come into direct contact with the skin are not irritating to the skin and do not cause skin allergies. And through daily washing actions, such as hand washing and bathing, it can be easily washed off completely and will not be absorbed into the skin.
No adverse effects on wound healing: The article "Toxicological properties of fluorescent brighteners" published in the German Journal of Dermatology in 1994 pointed out that even if the use of textile materials containing fluorescent brighteners in direct contact with wounds, there will be no adverse effects on wound healing, and no pathological changes to human skin.
Metabolism: Fluorescent whitening agents are water-soluble and can be excreted quickly and completely through normal metabolism.
The book "Environmental Quality and Safety Supplement Volume IV 'Fluorescent Whitening Agents'" published by Georg Thieme, Germany, shows that fluorescent whitening agents can be excreted in mice through metabolic studies. Metabolic studies have shown that the vast majority of fluorescent whitening agents are rapidly excreted through the intestine and are not absorbed by the intestine after heavy feeding of CBS. There is no residual fluorescent whitening agent in their blood, liver, and muscle. Therefore, even if a small amount of fluorescent whitening agent CBS enters the body, it will be excreted quickly through normal metabolism.
Fluorescent brightener CBS is not carcinogenic: The European Union Detergent Association (A.I.S.E.) has shown that fluorescent brightener CBS (also called FWA-5) is not carcinogenic.
The toxicity of fluorescent brighteners is of the same level as that of salt used daily, and the lethal amount of both is very close, which means that, like salt, it is only life-threatening to ingest more than 50g at a time.
Moreover, fluorescent whitening agents are widely present in the items we use every day. For example: most white plastic products, white candles, white tablecloths, plastic storage boxes and A4 paper.
In the nail polish industry, fluorescent brighteners are also commonly used in top coats. And the top coat is often used on color gel and hardener that have already cured and are unlikely to be absorbed, unless you eat it.
Why is fluorescent agent added inside the top coat? First of all, the top coat is mixed by a variety of raw materials, they can't be all transparent and colorless, so the top coat will generally become yellow under the sun.
The blue-violet fluorescence emitted by a small amount of fluorescent agent can neutralize the yellow light emitted by the top coat itself and achieve a balance, so that the top coat will not turn yellow.
However, when a top coat containing fluorescents is applied to the surface of a dark color or black nail polish, it will turn blue under the sunlight. For this problem, we recommend using a crystal clear top coat that does not contain fluorescent brighteners.
As you can see in the picture, the top part of the nail is painted with a crystal clear top coat, and under UV light, the white color turns yellow and the black color remains unchanged. And the top coat with fluorescent whitening agent has no change in the white color under the UV light, and the black color will turn blue.
Therefore, the summary is that fluorescent whitening agent is not a dangerous ingredient, it is important to choose the top coat with or without fluorescent whitening agent according to the color you apply to your nails.
Do you often get a lot of questions about the lamps used in manicure? After all we have talked about the gel application, we should also be clarified with the lamps. Because if you don’t have curing down it doesn’t matter how awesome your application and your nail are, it’s all going to come off. And we definitely don’t want that for ourselves or our clients.
The first question is: What's the difference?
Here is a picture of a traditional UV lamp. It’s probably the most common that you’ll see especially if you’re just starting out or if you’re looking for a cheap type of lamp. This is the very original one. What a traditional UV lamp really is, is a CFL UV lamp CFL means compact fluorescent. And there is also CCFL which means cool cathode or cool compact. And the fluorescent bulbs in it are what makes it work. This fluorescent light bulb emits a portion of the spectrum of UV light. So with this, you can cure the gels. This lamp was usually used about ten years ago.
But now days, LED has completely taken over. It has a different type of light bulb inside. And LED stands for light emitting diode. You may find some of the LED bulbs have different colors, some are yellow some are transparent. That’s because they have different style of dome over the bulb to spread the light and also to protect the bulbs.
And what important is this is also UV lamp. So you can see the difference, CFL lamps and LED lamps are both UV lamps but with different bulbs. And they both cure gel polish.
So why are CFL lamps are replaced by LED lamps?
LED UV lamps are able to emit the full spectrum of light needed to cure both traditional gels and the newer LED formulas and so they can cure all the gels. So you don’t need to replace the bulbs to cure specific gels. And you can expect it to last five years or more and it almost never lose power.
You don’t need to replace the bulbs in LED lamps.
The bulbs in CFL lamps usually need to be changed after six months, because they lose their ability to cure. And LED lamps don’t have that problem.
3. LED lamps take less time to cure the gels.
How do we choose the right UV nail lamp:
In the past CFL lamps could take up to five minutes to cure traditional gels. But LED lamps with that focus very high penetrating type of light that’s going into the gel, they only need up to 1 minute to cure the gels. So LED lamps not only do faster but also better job.
But because LED lamps doesn’t glow as much as CFL lamps. It’s very focused. So you have to ensure that the number of LED bulbs to be more but also arranged properly, even on the sides.
what wattage led lamp do i need for gel nails?
About 36 watts.
the wattage of lamps is divided into 9 watts, 18 watts, 36 watts, 42 watts, the higher the wattage nail hardening speed is faster, but you need to check the relevant information before using.
The light of the nail lamp belongs to the long-wave ultraviolet light, generally does not produce serious damage to the skin, but it does make the skin tanned, aging.
Although it is harmless to take a short time to cure, you should always pay attention to the maintenance of your hands. It is best to apply sunscreen and then do your manicure
Why Gel Nail Polish is better than Regular Nail Polish?
Regular nail polish is always tried and true.
This is a necessity for middle school students to spend the night away, and a staple for the working woman’s outfit planning.
But what about gel nails? What can gel manicure give you that regular nail polish can't give you?
Gel manicure has still quickly become the main product of salons.
Nevertheless, for those who are not sure whether to try new gel polishes, we have collected their benefits for you:
Quick-drying
Gel nail polish is thicker than regular nail polish.
The main feature that distinguishes it from classic manicure is part of the curing application process
because gel nail polish does not dry naturally.
Curing refers to putting the nails under LED or ultraviolet light to activate the chemical process to dry each layer of nail polish.
Considering that the gel nail application has extra time to repair the nail polish,
you can immediately leave your appointment or home application to completely dry the nail.
2. Chip-free
Quick-drying, durable formula, gel polish is hardly broken.
Your gel manicure is very resistant to peeling or stains, and the color will be as bright and shiny as the first day.
3. Durable
Gel polish can be used for at least 2-3 weeks, while regular nail polish will not fall off for a week.
In the case of light application, your gel nails last at least twice as long as normal nail polishes,
but in fact, they can make your nails four to six times the standard.
Take the core ingredient color powder as an example:
when creating nail art, it is sometimes necessary to apply each color layer very thinly,
with a thin multi-layer color overlay that brings an exceptionally soft visual beauty.
The thickness of each layer is so thin that it can only be counted in microns after the color layer dries,
which requires the particles of the color powder to be very finely ground. unna selects German color powder,
processed by ultra-fine grinding process into nano-level color paste, super fine and smooth.
The nail polish contains a lot of acetone and ethyl acetate. In order to achieve the purpose of making the nail polish dry quickly, a large amount of acetone and ethyl acetate are added. The characteristics of these two components are extremely volatile, so the nail polish can be dried quickly.
What are the principles of choosing nail polish?
What are the effects of using colored nail polish?
How to choose the right nail polish according to your skin?
Specifically, the choice of nail polish color should follow the following principles:
Because of the yellowish skin tone of oriental women, the application of gray and yellow nail polish on the nails will make the skin color appear darker and duller.
Mature and dignified women may choose light yellow and silver-gray nail polish to make French nails, which will give people an elegant and beautiful feeling.
When attending dinner parties or social activities, you should choose gold, red, purple, and other luxurious nail polishes to match evening dresses, which will make people look more dazzling.
Women with long and fair hands can choose bright rose-red nail polishes to make the fingers more delicate and beautiful.
Office workers or students should choose elegant and steady red, light pink, or translucent nail polish, which will make people feel more natural and not exaggerated.
Ladies who like to highlight their individuality may wish to choose nail polishes in popular colors. Such as bright white, silver, metallic purple, etc., coupled with distinctive clothing, it must be refreshing.
Paint flat paint for more color.
Flat color painting usually uses a relatively thin color glue or acrylic paint to paint a two-color or multi-color changing effect. But if the surface is too smooth and the color is brushed on with one stroke, no more paint or color glue can be retained. The surface of the frosted seal after drying has many fine particles and unevenness. This will allow more color to stay on top, making the color thicker and more saturated, and the painted petals will be more colorful and colorful.
pale or light skin:
A pale complexion requires a richer skin color. It is generally considered cool toned. It's best to choose pink or blue pastels, but avoid dark shades that create unwanted contrast. For this skin tone, pastel and nude nail polish are a perfect match.
Fair-skinned:
Fair-skinned women have a variety of nail polish colors to choose from because of the variety of shades that can be applied to their skin tone. Colors you should avoid are bright red nail polishes as these can overwhelm fair skin tones. However, if you want to use complex colors, you must avoid green and orange shades.
