A flawless, long-lasting, and stylish manicure are three qualities that every woman values. In the fast pace of life, when every minute counts, not everyone wants to visit the salon again just a few days after their last manicure. This is why gel manicures are becoming increasingly popular and in demand at beauty salons. This is no surprise: gel polish maintains a perfect look on nails for several weeks, providing durability and a well-groomed appearance without the need for frequent touch-ups.

The success of a gel manicure directly depends on following important rules, proper techniques, and using high-quality materials. If you haven't yet immersed yourself in the world of professional manicures and don't plan to attend specialized courses but still want to enjoy a flawless result, it's best to turn to experienced nail technicians. Here are the main steps to creating a perfect gel manicure: 

Before starting the procedure, it is important to carefully prepare the nails using a professional set of tools, including a nail file, nail polish remover, cuticle pusher, and scissors or clippers. Begin by gently buffing the surface of the nail with a file to create a perfect base. If there is any old nail polish remaining, use a special remover to take it off. Then, carefully push back the cuticle with the appropriate tool and, if necessary, gently trim it with scissors, ensuring maximum comfort and safety during the care process. 

 

Just like in makeup, nails also require a primer, which plays an important role: it protects the nail plate and dehydrates it, helping the subsequent products adhere better and improving the longevity of the manicure. 

 

One of the most important steps in creating the perfect manicure is applying a base coat, which ensures the longevity of the polish. After that, a UV lamp is used to quickly and effectively cure each layer in about 120 seconds. 

 

Gel polish should be applied in one or two layers, depending on its pigmentation. Each layer must be cured under a UV lamp. It is important not to remove your hands from the lamp until the gel polish is completely dry, as premature removal can negatively affect the quality of the manicure. 

 

To achieve a flawless result, a top coat is applied at the end, which securely seals the manicure and is then dried under a UV lamp for 120 seconds.

Here are five steps that will help achieve a flawless and perfect result with no defects.
