Friends who love manicure must know very well about nail polish, such as a variety of color choices, a variety of styles to choose from. However, how many friends know that they need to apply base coat before applying nail polish? Is the base coat the kind of clear nail polish?

What is the base coat in nail polish?

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.

What does the base coat in nail polish do?

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.

What are the steps to use nail polish?

1. Shake the nail polish well. Shake the nail polish bottle gently before applying nail polish to make the color more even.

   
   

2. Apply primer. The role of the primer is to make the color last longer and prevent the nails from turning yellow or breaking.

   
   

3. 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.

   
   

4. 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.

   
   

5. Repaint fingertips. After two coats of color, focus on the ends of the nails to make the color last longer.

   
   

6. Apply top coat. Finally, coat the nails with a clear top coat to give the nails a lustrous look.

UNNA developed a breakthrough system with 900 colors specially designed for all the nail artists to simplify color selection, with impressive and powerful visual effects. Besides, UNNA’s compound formula consisting of the medical photosensitive resin and cosmetic color paste makes its gel more outstanding.

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.

It is best to apply the Nail polish as little as possible to the whole nail, otherwise it will become slightly uneven and affect the shine of the nail.

2.With each application, the amount of Nail polish on the brush should be as equal as possible to make it easier to apply evenly.

3. Be sure to wash the grease off your hands before applying.

Can you use regular nail polish with gel top coat？

You can use top coat on ordinary nail polish, Before doing this you must polish the surface of the nail, the human real nail surface is smooth, and greasy, must use sanding hair, or nail polish may not stick firmly, and easy to fall off.

Detailed operation steps are:

After grinding the nail surface, dusting with a dusting brush, and then use a cotton pad with a certain amount of cleaning liquid to clean the nail surface. It is also important to note that if you do the hand care first and then cure it, if you do not apply sunscreen, it is more likely to lead to skin aging.

But in fact, for ordinary nail polish, you don’t need to do so 

nail polish is easy to cracking after curing it. The step of applying a layer of top coat is specifically for gel polish, which is difficult to dry in natural conditions, while ordinary nail polish can dry in natural conditions easily. The difference between gel polish and regular nail polish is that gel polish lasts longer and can make more beautiful shapes, and by saving the time to dry by curing, gel polish occupies the majority of the nail art market. It would be a better choice.

The steps to use gel polish for manicure are as follows.

1. First trim the nails, clean the dead skin around the nails, and then use a nail file to polish off the grease layer on the surface of the nails, so that the base gel and nails fit more closely. You can use primer as well.

2. Use the base coat, cure it, then use the color gel, every time you apply it, cure it once, after two times if you think the color is suitable, then you can carry out the top coat, if you think the color effect is not good, you can apply the third time.

3.Choose the type of top coat according to your preference and needs. After applying the top coat, cure it and let the it dry thoroughly so that all the steps are finished. Usually gel polish needs to be removed after 2~3 weeks. When removing, first grind off the top coat and then use nail remover to handle it, avoid picking nails by yourself.

There are also people asking: Can clear nail polish be used as top coat?

The answers is: No! Clear nail polish can't be used as top coat. Transparent nail polish does not have the ability to fix gel polish and is not as strong as gel polish, gel polish has a strong adhesion after use on the nail, and transparent nail polish generally only has a shelf life of four or five days, so it is not suitable for use as top coat.

The point of top coat is to hold the gel polish in place so that it doesn't layer on the nail and crack easily, but obviously clear nail polish doesn't have that ability. The ingredients contained in the top coat are usually chemical based, so it is very strong, but after applying the top coat you need to cure it.

If it is ordinary clear nail polish in the process of curing, it’s very easy to crack. Clear nail polish can't be used as top coat, these two are not the same kind of product.

nail polish and gel polish have the same function, but the ingredients are different. nail polish is a kind of phototherapy glue, which is a kind of epoxy resin, similar to plastic. gel polish is a paint that can be rubbed on the nails at the same time, and the nails on the other hand are beautiful in color and have a beautifying effect.

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.

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.

What's Nail Extension?

Nail extensions are basically false nails. This is a fashionable accessory worn on the nails. 

Even if your nails are short, you can do nail extensions because the nail extensions maybe longer. 

For those with shorter nails, nail extensions can help you get longer nails instead of actually letting them grow out. 

These extensions come in several shapes and sizes. However, in order to ensure that your extension is in the best condition, you still need to pay attention. 

Some people suggest that you check it every two weeks. Nail extensions are also often longer than other manicures.

What's good about nail extensions?

---

Advantage

• Acrylic extensions are suitable for women with fragile nails.

• Acrylic is good for women, they have the habit of chewing nails because nails are difficult to chew off.

• Acrylic nails have a longer history than similar products, so most nail technicians in salons and spas have extensive experience in how to apply and remove these nails.

• You don't have to worry about such side effects.

• They last longer than gel nails.

Disadvantage

• If they are not removed properly, they can damage your natural nails.

• Because acrylic nails are artificial, they present a fake look. You need a very talented technician who can bring your acrylic resin close to nature.

• The use of acrylic nails involves the use of strong chemicals and the formation of fumes. Some women may be allergic to these substances.

• You need to renew every month, which means additional expenses.

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. Today we'll get to know what hardener really is.

• Reinforcing nails

  
  

First of all, when our nails become thin and soft for some reasons, you can apply a layer of hardener after the base coat. This way the overall hardness and toughness of the nail is improved. This prevents the nail from breaking frequently and we can easily retain the length of the nail as you wish.

Also, this layer of hardener fills in the little pits on the surface of the nail. The next time you apply a color gel, you can easily apply it evenly and more flatly.

Also, by applying the hardener in the middle of the color gel and the top coat, the color gel will be better protected and will stay on the nail longer.

• For fixing small decorations

In addition to the above uses, when you want to put small decorations on the nail surface, such as: irregular size sequins, shell pieces, laser paper, etc., you can use hardener to fix it. Compared to the thinner top coat or thicker builder gel, the consistency of hardener is moderate, easy to operate, fast and convenient.

After applying these decorations and sequins, there will be a lot of uneven areas on the surface of the nail, which cannot be completely filled with the top coat only. It's too sticky and slow to use builder gel. So a moderate viscosity reinforcement glue can cover the raised unevenness, but also easy and fast to apply, and if there is still unevenness, you can also sand it with a sanding strip.

• Blooming effect

When you need to use a certain transparent color and do not have it by your hand, you can find a similar solid color gel with hardener to adjust the transparency. Because the consistency of the hardener is similar to that of a normal color gel, it is very easy to mix it and apply it directly with a clean brush that has been cleaned up with top coat or base coat.

Finally, there is a hidden feature of the reinforcing gel, which is the color gel blooming function. We can apply a layer of hardener on the base color without curing it, and then use various techniques to make the color gel on the hardener gel surface gradually spread out, thus forming a variety of style. Very flexible and practical.

The above is an introduction to the common knowledge and use of hardener, Hope you will gain more in learning and practice.
