Gel Nail Application: Achieving Salon-Worthy Nails at Home

Gel polish offers a long-lasting, chip-resistant manicure that can last for weeks. Here's a breakdown of the gel nail application process:

Preparation is Key:

Shape and clip: Start with clean, dry nails. Clip them to your desired length and gently file them into your preferred shape.
Prep the nail plate: Buff the surface of your nails lightly with a buffer to remove any shine and create a better surface for the gel to adhere to.
Gently push back cuticles: Use a cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles. Apply cuticle oil to moisturize and prevent them from drying out.
Cleanse the nails: Wipe each nail thoroughly with a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol to remove any dust or oils that might prevent proper adhesion.

Gel Application:

Base coat magic: Apply a thin layer of gel base coat to each nail, ensuring you coat the tips too. Cure the base coat under your UV/LED lamp according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually 30 seconds to 2 minutes).
Time for colour! Apply a thin layer of your chosen gel polish colour. Avoid flooding the cuticles for a clean finish. Cure the colour coat under the lamp again for the specified time. Depending on the desired opacity, repeat with a second coat and cure again.
Seal the deal with a top coat: Apply a thin layer of gel top coat to each nail, coating the tips thoroughly. This protects your manicure and adds a beautiful shine. Cure the top coat under the lamp as per instructions.
Finishing touches: Once the final coat is cured, use a cotton ball soaked in nail polish remover (avoid acetone) to gently remove any tacky residue left behind. Apply cuticle oil again for hydration.

Pro Tips:

Thin is key: Apply gel polish in thin layers for even application and to prevent pooling around the cuticles.
Cap the tips: When applying each coat, ensure you brush a thin layer over the free edge (tip) of your nail to prevent chipping.
Cure completely: Don't skip curing under the lamp for the recommended time. Under-cured polish won't last as long and might peel easily.
Be gentle with removal: When removing gel polish, avoid forcefully scraping it off. Soak your nails in pure acetone for 10-15 minutes, then gently push off the softened gel with an orangewood stick.

With a little practice, you can achieve beautiful, long-lasting gel nails at home!
