gel polish vs regular polish

Regular nail polish: been used for a hundred years. Easy, and affordable.

Gel polish: been used for around 40 years and with some amazing features. Yet it is little high maintenance.

Well, which one is better? How do I choose them?

Regular nail polish:

For starters cost and supplies are very different, for regular nail polish, you don’t really need that much. You need a cuticle stick to push your cuticles back. You need a good file to be able to buff the natural nail and then another file to smooth it. Then you need a little bit of oil to get rid of the dust. Then you can wash your hands. Then you need a base coat, coat of color and a top coat. Finally you are gonna need some time to let it dry.

And as for gel polish, 

It’s basically the same. But you need a compatible lamp that go with the gel polish.

Both polishes begin with pushing back the cuticle. Both applications also require some filing to prep. And oil goes on before nail polish application. But gel polish need more complicated preparation on nails. And that is what makes it last. And after applying the base coat, here comes the biggest advantages for gel polish, the lamp. While regular nail polish are applied, you must to wait for it to dry. It may take 3 to 5 minutes or even more. But for gel polish, when you put your hand in the lamp ,you know between 30 to 60 seconds, It’s completely cured. And that's how you can recover the time you lost in the preparation phase.

Advantages and disadvantages:

And another cool thing about gel is it doesn’t dry as you apply and it also self levels. These are some amazing features that rugular nail polish doesn't have. And It’s going to last at least two weeks on natural nails

But when it comes to remove the nail polish gel polish could get little more tricky. And for regular nail polish, you just need to get yourself some nail polish remover and take some time to wipe it off.

To remove gel polish, you need to first use a nail drill machine to sand it, then continue sanding it with a file, and finally wrap your nail with a nail remover pack. This can take up to 15 minutes or more. But to protect you natural nails, you have no choice.

So here is the conclusion. 

It isn’t a matter of either or it’s just a matter of what service and what type of nail and durability and cost and time of service you are looking for.

How To Stop Nail Lifting

Why do your gel nails start lifting after only 1 week or even a few days? Here are the reasons.

1. Grease residue.

If the real nail surface is not cleaned thoroughly and meticulously, the grease film on the real nail surface will not be cleaned, or if you don't pay attention to protect the real nail after cleaning and keep touching the real nail surface, it may cause buckling.

2. Not using the same brand of primer.

Nowadays, nail polish is a removable product and refuses to be mixed with acidic substances.

And we suggest using the same brand of the same series of products, which is more reliable during the nail polish application If you do not fully understand the characteristics of the product, mixing different brands of products is likely to cause adverse consequences.

3. Not using a primer.

The use of primer is necessary in order for the nails to bond better with gel-based products.

 

So how to make your nails last four+ weeks and stop all signs of lifting? Here is the solution.

How to prepare your nails before a manicure?

Like with any nail service make sure you’re starting with clean and sanitized hands. We are going to begin by pushing back the cuticles to expose any dead tissue. While doing this, make sure that you don’t angle your cuticle pusher too much or keep it too parallel to the nail because you may slip and cause damage to the root of the natural nail. Then you can begin to prep it.

In this step, your goal is to gently remove that dead tissue, and remove the shine from the nail and create a rough surface. And when it comes to prepping the nail plate there are two different ways that you can do it.

One is with a hand file and the other is with a E-file or nail drill machine.

With hand file

A hand file is perfect for beginners who are just learning because the hand file is a lot easier to control than an e-file and you are less likely to cause damage. So, whenever you are using a hand file, make sure that you have full control so it won’t slip and hurt your fingers. And when you do it, just lightly feather over the nail to remove the shine and the dead tissue underneath to create that rough surface for you gel polish.

With nail drill machine

If you are a professional, we suggest that you use an E-file, which is perfect for someone looking to speed up the prep process.

In the prep step, never use a coarse grit on the nail plate because this can cause damage. And make sure that the speed of the E-file is between 3 to 4. Then you can gently file the surface of the nail. Remember to keep your drill parallel to the nail plate instead of pointing down, otherwise, it will leave visible marks on your nails.

After you have filed the surface of your nails with the nail drill machine, you are ready to start the next step.

Why do you need a primer?

What you are going to need is a primer. This is the key player in how long your acrylic nails will actually last. It’s also only necessary to be applied on the natural nail plate. What the primer does is it creates the perfect surface for your nail and the gel to bond. So this is not a dehydrator. A dehydrator removes the oils from the surface of the nail and it will dry your nails really fast.

If you used to seeing primers with acid, those are the ones that dehydrate the nail plate. The reason you want to avoid those is because they could cause allergic reactions or if you have sensitive nail plates this can cause a burning sensation. And, when you finished applying the primer don’t be thrown off by the shiny surface, that’s exactly what you want. Because that’s going to ensure that your gel polish stay on your nails for four to five weeks.

If you complete all the above steps strictly, I am sure you will get perfect prepped nails. That is also a guarantee that your nails won't lifting.

The ingredients of ordinary nail gel 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.

There are some loose screws, how did you deal with it here? Just remove the square screws, next, apply a coat of clear nail gel to the ends of the screws and quickly screw them into the grooves, the polish will act as an interior trim to glue them together. Aside from bonding, another cool use is polish on outdoor furniture, which prevents rust, prevents rain from scouring, and keeps those screws looking new and good. If there is a torn or punctured window screen, there is no need to replace it, because repairing it is very simple, just apply clear nail gel on the front and back of the torn screen and blow dry it with a hair dryer. Maybe the repair wasn't perfect.

How to choose color nail gel?

Given a whole shelf of nail gel, aside from the color, where do you choose?

Here are some highlights for your reference:

1.When buying, remove the nail gel brush to see if it drips smoothly over the brush in the form of water drops. If the flow is very slow, this means that the nail gel bottle is too thick and not easy to wipe evenly.

2.When the brush is removed, press the bottle opening left and right to test the elasticity of the bristles.

3. Try to choose nail gel with thin bristles that are easier to apply (compare the bristles of different nail gel brands).

4.When the brush is filled with nail gel and removed, the brush still retains a slender shape at the end, indicating that the brush is good and some become very thick.

5. Look at the production date.

How to remove nail gel?

1. Use nail gel remover to remove

Volatile organic solvents in nail gel remover can help dissolve and remove nail gel.

2. Use cleaning oil to remove

To remove the finished nails, we can use cleaning oil. First, apply a thin layer of makeup remover to your lacquered nails, then wait about 3 to 5 minutes before slowly rubbing with something hard. Finally, gently wipe with a cotton pad and wipe off. Rinse your hands with water.

3. Use hairspray to remove

Hairspray and nail gel contain the same chemical ingredients. Do not leave the hairspray on too long, otherwise it will dry out on the nails. It hurts the nails and leaves unsightly marks.

4. Use toothpaste to remove

All you need is a dab of toothpaste and then an old toothbrush or paper towel to wipe off the nail gel. In general, white toothpaste is best for removing nail gel.

What is the method of applying nail polish to prevent "warping"?

When applying, leave a little space (0.5-1 mm) on both sides of the nails. The nail polish applied to the skin must be scraped off, and then sealed with top coat, so that the edges are not easy to warp.

In case the tip is warped, it is not very serious, you can press it back and add a layer of top coat to seal it.

If you want it to be firmer, you can use a polishing strip to roughen the surface of the nail, then wipe it with an alcohol cotton pad, and then apply gel polish after this treatment, it will be stronger.

How to apply gel polish that's not easy to fall off?

The nail polish is simple and easy to apply, but it starts to fade after a few days on the fingers. The fading of nail polish is a very troublesome problem for us, so can this problem be avoided when applying gel polish? The answer is YES, as long as girls pay attention to the way of applying gel polish, you can color your nails. Keep it up for a long time!

The factors that affect nail fading are the texture of the nail polish, the method of applying the nail polish, and the follow-up maintenance after the manicure.

First of all, we should choose nail polish with less formaldehyde content. The higher the formaldehyde content, the faster the nail polish will dry and fall off, so be careful when choosing.

Second, pay attention to how you apply it. When applying gel polish, you must remember the principle of secondary coloring, that is, after applying the thinner first layer, you should apply a thicker second layer.

Again, after the manicure, maintenance work should be done well. After finishing the manicure, we can apply a layer of nail protection oil on the nails to make the color of the nails more glossy and durable.

What are the raw materials and functions of nail polish?

nail polish, treatment and hardener have very similar formula compositions. All products contain film formers such as cellulose nitrate or cellulose acetate butyrate to make the product hard and shiny when dry. To make the film tough and elastic, resins or auxiliary film formers, such as tosylamide/formaldehyde resins or tosylamide/epoxy resins, are used. To prevent chipping and cracking, one or more plasticizers may be included, including triphenyl phosphate, trimethylpentyl diisobutyrate, camphor, and dibutyl phthalate. Low levels of solvents, including ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, isopropanol, and toluene, are used to help smooth product flow. Colored polishes or products contain FDA-approved colorants or pigments that are uniformly distributed in the product due to the inclusion of suspending agents or clays, such as stearyl hectorite or bentonite. To prevent fading, UV stabilizers such as benzophenone-1 are often added. Nail hardeners may also contain small amounts of formaldehyde to harden or strengthen nails.

What is Acrylic powder?

There are two components needed. You need the acrylic powder which is a polymer,

And you are going to need the monomer, which is the liquid to blend with the acrylic powder. The monomer reacts with the powder to create a strong nail extension that air dries and can last up to three weeks. 

Acrylic powder are typically available in different colors, so clear is just the acrylic powder itself, and then you have your sheer colors, cover colors, color powders and also glitter powders.

Clear is used for almost every single set and it’s going to have the strongest adhesion.

Now that you know what acrylic is, let’s go over what kind of products you are going to need to get started.

You don’t need a lot to get started with acrylic but there are a few key products.

First you will need your acrylic powder, monomer which will react with the powder and a acrylic brush of the size between 12 and 14. and then you will need a dehydrator a primer.

If you are looking to do a nail extension you will need nail tips and nail glue. And of course a nail file and a top coat.

So how to choose these products?

• When you are choosing a monomer there are some things that you want to avoid. First, never use a monomer that includes either mma or hema. These ingredients have been banned by the FDA for causing irritation burning and damage to the nail bed. Second, always use a monomer that has a purple tint, because if you use a clear monomer it will work perfectly fine to build your nail, but you are going to get that yellowing on the nail.

• When choosing a acrylic powder, make sure that the powders are highly pigmented acrylic powder and have even color coverage.Good acrylic powders will be really smooth and buttery instead of chalky and crumbly.

The application

1: Push back the cuticles

2: File the nail surface

3: Choose a nail tip that fit, and glue it to the nail. Once it’s applied, trim and shape them well.

4: Apply dehydrator only to the natural nail bed. After it’s dried, apply primer also only to the natural nail.

5: Before applying any color to the nail bed, apply a thin layer of clear powder. It helps make your nails stronger.

6: Start about a hairline away from the cuticle and use the body of your brush to work the bead down to the free edge. When it’s done, let it dry for a few minutes.

7: Use a file to clean up the shape, and sharpen those edges.

Then buff away any imperfections

8: The final step, apply top coat, and cure it.

Notes:

1: Make sure that your monomer stays clean throughout the process. If it starts to get a little bit thick gummy or cloudy, It’s time to change it.

2: The liquid to monomer ratio

If you have too much monomer on your brush you will have a really runny and watery bead. And It’s not going to build any structure. If you don’t get enough monomer on your brush your bead will be too dry, and the powder will stuck to the brush.

The key is that you have to keep practicing and just feel it out.

How to stop your gel nails from lifting

These five tips will help stop your gel nails from lifting and help them last longer in better condition. What is great about these tips is that they are simple things that can be done, it doesn’t take any extra time, but they can improve the experience you have with your gel nails.

Don’t pick the nail

Picking a gel nail off will not only ruin your manicure, but it causes a lot of damage to your nail bed. Your nail bed has many layers of skin cells, and picking your gel nail off takes the top protective layers off. 

This will cause your natural nails to be a lot weaker and cause an uneven surface; an unhealthy surface will lead to your future manicure chip more.

So, even though we all get the urge to pick at our gel manicures, it is essential to resist the temptation; otherwise, it will damage our future manicures.

Cover the nail with a topcoat

As we stated earlier, applying a top coat is very important as it seals the gel polish. Most people forget that you can apply thin layers of a topcoat after having your nails done, which ensures that the seal is strong and keeps your nails in the best condition possible for as long as possible.

Topping up on a topcoat means that you don’t need the strongest topcoat; a thin quick-dry topcoat will work just as well, as it is essential to remember that you are only using it to keep the seals tight, not to form the seals. 

Prevent your nails from getting chipped

Preventing your nails from getting chipped is so much better than having to fix them. You can do so many simple things in your everyday life to prevent your nails from getting chipped, for example, wearing gloves when washing up or cleaning, not opening boxes using your nails, or the worst one, biting your nails.

These are such simple changes in your day that could cause your nails to be in better condition; they may seem like a bit of hassle, but once you get used to it and see how much it improves your manicure, they’ll instantly become part of your routine.

Please don’t leave it too long before getting them done.

The recommended amount of time you should have gel nails on is two to three weeks, and although it can be tempting to leave them for longer if they don’t look outgrown or chipped, you should try to get them done within the recommended time. 

If not, you do cause potential damage to your nail beds; again, it can weaken them. Another issue with leaving them too long is that any moisture that can get under the nail once the gel starts lifting can cause bacteria to grow, leading to infections.

This may not be a common thing to happen, but it is possible and something that we’d all like to avoid, so make sure you don’t leave it too long.

Allowing your nails to have a break

If you find it hard to get your nails redone regularly, giving your nails a break is also beneficial. Having back-to-back manicures will cause your nails to get dehydrated, so giving your nails a break every other manicure or so will help strengthen your nails.

Not only that, but it will make your future manicure better quality, so your nails will defiantly thank you and reward you for the much-needed break.

The nail polish is tested throughout the manufacturing process for several important factors (drying time, smoothness of flow, gloss, hardness, color, abrasion resistance, etc.). Subjective testing,
