Gel enamelling has become a real fever among women. Therefore, anyone who wants to stand out in the field of manicure should keep an eye on the technique. See all about it here!

This is a technique that uses special enamels. Also, it uses drying techniques by means of LED light. With this, it allows the nails to stay with the colors, without peeling, for up to 03 weeks.

This combination of factors allows beautiful nails for much longer. After all, traditional enamels usually last (with great care) for 07 days. In addition, they are at risk of accidents such as dents and crashes.

That's why gel enamelling is gaining so many fans. Who doesn't want to keep their hands always beautiful and with their nail polish up to date, right? However, it should be remembered that its application requires a lot of care.

This way of enameling is not to be confused with the gel enamel traditionally found in drugstores. In fact, it has different properties and is for professional use. In the same way, it is not to be confused with gel nails. These are the ones with stretches.

Interested? So keep reading to check, below, how this enamelling occurs, the care and step by step.

This technique makes use of different products than the traditional manicure. Its enamels contain chemical compounds activated by light. This, then, gives the fixation of the coloring on the nail, allowing it to last longer.

In addition, it has some preliminary points. They dedicate themselves to nail preparation, with oil and pH control, for example. They also require exposure, at the end, to an LED light chamber or UV radiation for drying.

From the outset, then, it is clear that this technique is quite different from the traditional ones. Its application gains every day more demand, behold, it made possible the longevity of enamelling.

In this sense, gel enamelling needs repair every 20 days, in general. Duration time varies according to each customer's nail growth speed. After all, with it there is the creation of a space between the end of the enamel and the root of the nail.

So this is the average time when this starts to become more evident. Until that happens, however, it is possible to maintain beautiful nails with enamel. During this period, activities such as washing dishes or contact with water do not pose a danger to the color.

Neither the coloring nor the shine of the nail, it should be noted. This is another advantage that the gel brings. The nail does not look opaque or neglected. Verily, it stays fresh and always up to date.

Another interesting point is that it is possible to use the gel enamelling technique on nail extensions. And it fits in the most diverse models, be it gel, porcelain or others. With that, the natural nail suffers less aggression. Likewise, the manicurist can sell more than one service in a single session.

Finally, we emphasize that not everything is flowers. The extraction of the products, after 20 days, can be a little aggressive. Therefore, it is essential to verify the origin of the products. Also, to previous and posthumous care.

It is essential that at the time of application of the gel polish the nails have their cuticles done. In other words, there must be a previous extraction of the excesses of these skins. This is necessary so as not to disturb the quality of the enamelling, including its durability.

When there is no correct prior extraction of the excesses, they remain on the nails. This, then, interferes with the final result, with beauty. Thus, excesses require extraction. It must confine itself to them, it must be said.

In addition to the visual aspect of the result, durability suffers from the non-extraction of cuticle excesses. These dead skins tend to ruffle or lift due to dryness, heat, or softening. With that, they can pull the gel.

Thus, gel coloring may not deliver the durability it promises. Enamel is at risk of accidents. Therefore, care for the cuticle is accompanied by the cuticle service with gel polish. 

As stated above, gel polish requires the use of a booth. It contains LED light for drying different nail polish. But, what to do when you don't have a cabin at hand? For these cases there is a very interesting alternative.

She bets on the use of gel polishes that last longer, but don't need light to dry. And how to recognize them among an infinity of types of enamels? For this, analyze the packaging.

She should make it clear that this specific nail polish has a gel effect without the use of LED or UV. This must be very clear (including the inscription that it dries without these lights). With this, you guarantee that it allows gel enamelling with the same quality.

Then, after applying the nail polish, apply a quick-drying spray on the nails. Then spray your nails with canola oil spray. After 10 minutes, place your nails in a bowl of ice water for 3 minutes. Finally, wait for them to dry for 01 hour.

Therefore, it is clear that gel enamelling without a cabin takes much longer.
