An elegant manicure is the art of emphasizing the beauty and sophistication of your hands with the help of discreet shades, impeccable shape and impeccable gloss or matte finish. This manicure is distinguished by a well-thought-out choice of nail length and contour, neat cuticle design and perfectly even application of varnish, which does not leave a single brush mark. In the classic version, pastel nude, pink or cream tones are used, and a thin metallic line, microcrystals at the base of the nail or a delicate ombre can act as an elegant accent. An elegant manicure fits harmoniously into any image - from everyday business style to evening wear, giving your hands grace and completeness.

How to make an elegant manicure?
- At the initial stage of applying gel polish, it is important to properly prepare the nails: remove the old coating, carefully treat the cuticle, shape the nails and lightly sand the surface with a buff.
- Next, clean the nail plate using a disinfectant and degreaser to ensure good adhesion to the base coat.
- Before coating the nail with a base, it is advisable to cover it with a primer. It is used for more reliable adhesion of the base gel to the nail plate. The primer dries in the air for 1 minute, when applied, it should not flow under the cuticle.
- Then we proceed to the procedure of applying the base gel polish. Select the color. Do not forget to seal each layer (including the base and top). The polymerization time of gel polish in an LED lamp is 30 seconds. For UV and weak lamps, we recommend applying colored gel polish in a thin layer, due to the high pigmentation of the gel polish. Polymerization time in a UV lamp is 2 minutes. Warning: for working with highly pigmented gel polishes, use a UV lamp with a power of at least 36 W or an LED lamp of 9 W. It is also important to change the bulbs in a timely manner for high-quality polymerization of the coating.
- After completing the coating, apply cuticle oil.
