How to do a manicure for short nails?
- At the first stage of applying gel polish, carry out standard preparation of the nail: remove the previous coating, remove the cuticle, buff the surface and give the desired shape to the nails.
- After that, it is recommended to clean the nail plate with a disinfectant and degreaser.
- Before covering 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. The polymerization time in a UV lamp is 2 minutes. Warning: if you want to use highly pigmented gel polishes, your UV lamp should be at least 36 W and the LED lamp at least 9 W, and the bulbs should be changed in a timely manner.
- The last step is to cover the nail with a top coat. It is needed to fix our coating and add shine to the nails. It is applied in a thicker layer than the previous products. After using it, the nail is sent back to the lamp. Do not forget to remove the sticky layer with a degreaser.
- After completing the coating, apply cuticle oil.
