Gel manicure are all the rage right now. Everybody loves gel nail polish, but you’re probably removing your gel nail polish the wrong way. So today we are going to learn the right way to do it. And you can do it yourself at home.
The first way to do it , you need to prepare the tools that you need to accomplish this task.
1: Cotton balls
2: Acetone
3: Nail groomer
4: Aluminum foil
Step 1: take 1 cotton ball, this is going to remove all of your gel polish from both hands. You can break it up to tiny pieces and what you’re going to make sure you do is you divide them into 10 separate little pieces for each nail. The cotton don’t need to be very thick beacuse you need to dip them into your acetone.
Step 2: once it’s completely saturated, put the saturated cotton ball onto the top of your nail bed and you want to make sure that you are not wrapping your entire finger with the cotton ball. This will dry out your cuticles and your nails, which is not good.
Step 3: take a small piece of aluminum foil and wrap the nail. This will create a heat conducting type of mechanism and help acetone completely goes through the gel polish. After five minutes, you can check if the gel are peeling. If your gel nails has only been on your nails for about a week, you need to wait little more longer, about ten minutes.
Step 4: after five to ten minutes, take off the aluminum foil. If you see the gel polish actually peeling up off of your nail,them you are ready for the next step. Take your nail groomer or a wooden stick, and start to push off the gel polish very very gently. Starting at your cuticle and ending at your tip. If you do it backwards and start at the tip, you will risk severely damaging your nail, which completely contradicts the whole purpose of removing your gel polish correctly
Step 5:after you remove all of your gel polish, you want to take one more cotton ball, and dip it in some acetone. Then swipe over your nail lightly to get rid of any excess polish that is left over. And finally, you may find your cuticles are a little bit dry. All you need is a bit of cuticle oil and even a moisturizer. Then your nails are good to go.
Now you know the right way to remove your gel manicure without sanding down your polish or peeling it off.
And sometimes, if the acetone doesn’t work very well, you need to start your process with buffing the gel polish. The more you can take off with the file the less time you are going to spend on soaking.
Make sure you don’t buff your natural nail, because that will cause serious damage to your nails.
Regarding the tools, you can improvise. You don't necessarily have to use aluminum foil, plastic wrap can work just as well.
If you do not want to spend too much time on this. You may also choose not to use cotton balls. Take some Acetone in a cup and sand the surface of your gel polish slightly. You can then dip five fingers into the acetone. This is very unfriendly to your cuticle and the skin of your fingers, but you can remove the nail polish very easily.
We recommend that you stock up some nail removal packs around the house. It is very convenient. All you need to do is peel off the package, cover the surface of your nails with the cotton side, and stick it on your finger. 5 to 10 minutes later, you can easily remove your nail polish.
First, when you have curved nails, and your nail surface is relatively flat Then you only need to use hardener.
Hardener has a medium consistency, so it is suitable for micro-construction
Apply a thin layer without curing it under the light.
Then take the gel and brush it back and forth in the middle of the nail surface until it is flat.
Turn the nail upside down and shape it
Three seconds or so, and then cure it immediately. Compared to the natural nail and the build up nail, it is much fuller
The effect will be more obvious after applying color.
Use a builder gel to build up your nails.
It has a higher consistency and leveling, and most importantly, it does not generate too much heat when curing.
Take a small amount of gel for the first time
apply thinly without curing
Take a large bead of gel for the second time
Put it on the back edge of the nail
Push it out with light circular motion
Let the gel flow smoothly by itself
Note that the pen should not leave the gel
Thin all around, thick in the middle, avoid touching the skin
Then turn it upside down and use the pen to paint up and down in the middle
Then you will see the difference.
Reinforced gel polish, also known as hardener ,as the name implies, is a kind of UV gel that increases the firmness. But this is just a simple literal understanding, hardener's function and use can be more than you think.
Reinforced gel polish has the role of preventing nail polish from warping and cracking, protecting the top coat and color gel from scratches ; Reinforced gel polish is a nail polish that is needed when doing manicure, because some people's nails are too thin, applying Reinforced gel polish can increase the thickness and hardness of the nail
A lot of girls like to do a beautiful manicure, but some girls nails are naturally thin and very soft, their manicure is easy to fall off or break very easy, and that's when the Reinforced gel polish will come in handy, reinforced gel polish as the name implies is used to strengthen the nail, it can increase the thickness and hardness of the nail, to avoid the nail too soft and nail polish gel warping, so even if your nails are thin and soft, with the reinforced gel polish used you will not be afraid of the nails breaking.
It is important to note that you don't need to wash the reinforced gel polish after you apply it, so you can put the color gel on directly after it is dried.
Different formulas of reinforcing gel will have different effects, some reinforced gel polish will be a little thinner, some will be a little thicker.
For the less viscous reinforced gel polish, its functions are:
1. leveling the nail surface
2. lighten the pen marks
3. make the pattern more transparent and vibrant.
4. For marble ink effect, Due to its low consistency, the color gel will spread easily on the uncured reinforced gel polish. This way you get the marble ink effect.
For the higher viscosity of the reinforced gel polish,its functions are:
1. strengthen the nail
2. to stick some small decorations
3. to fill in the nail surface.
If your nails are thin, you can choose a thicker reinforcing gel so that your nails are strong enough.
The right steps are:
first apply a base coat, then apply the reinforced gel polish on top of the base coat, and finally apply the color gel.
After applying the color gel, you can apply another layer of reinforced gel polish, which should not be cured, so you can fix some small decorations on the undried reinforced gel polish.
After adding some small decorations, the nail surface will be uneven, so you can choose to use a thinner reinforced gel polish to make the whole surface smoother. A less thick reinforced gel polish will have a good flow, so it will also lighten the brush marks left on the nail surface during the application of the color gel.
You can use a sanding strip to smooth the surface of the nail and apply the top coat at the end and done!

The base coat of colored Nail polishes must usually be colorless, i.e. transparent, so that the colored Nail polish on the back can bring out the color better. There are also some base oils with some color, such as light pink and light blue. In fact, this type of Nail polish is almost invisible when applied to the nails, but it is also possible, but do not use the type of Nail polish that is visible when applied, as this will affect the color saturation of the later applied Nail polish.

Inorganic pigments are opaque; organic pigments are very brightly colored substances that give nails a vibrant color.

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.
The ingredients of ordinary Nail Polish generally consist of two categories, one is composed of solid ingredients, mainly pigments, glossy substances, etc.; the other consists of liquid solvent components, mainly acetone, ethyl acetate phthalate, formaldehyde.
What are the colors of Nail Polish?
What principles can be used to choose Nail Polish?
What styles of Nail Polish are available?
As a cosmetic, Nail Polish will form a film after being applied to the surface of the nails, which not only protects the nails, but also has the effect of beautifying the nails. Nail Polish can be divided into different color series according to its color, such as red series, green series, purple series, etc. Different color series can be subdivided into different color numbers, such as wine red, pink and so on. Due to the differences in the cosmetic effects of different colors of Nail Polish, it is necessary to accurately evaluate the color of Nail Polish. The common method is to perform visual inspection under unified standard light source conditions or in a standard light source box.
There are many factors to consider when choosing the right Nail Polish. Can it complement your complexion? Is it enough to go with your favorite clothes? Does it look cheap? While it's usually easy enough to answer all of these questions ourselves, we can also look to a very stylish team for nail art inspiration: fashion suits.
