All the girls want the pedicure to last as long as possible and the nails remain strong. But many refuse to pedicure due to the fact that they have thin, brittle, ugly nails. In this case, for our convenience, gel polish was invented. It can be used both for pedicure and manicure. In our article, we will consider several ways to use the gel in a pedicure.

The first way is to strengthen

1. We start by degreasing the nails with a clinzer.
2. Then go to the primer. The primer can be used both acidic and non-acidic. Most often, when using a gel pedicure, an acid primer is used, it works better with a hard gel coating, but if the nails are sensitive, then such a primer can "bake". Then in this case it is better to use an acid-free primer.
3. Apply a thin rubbing base. It is better to use rubber. Then dry in a UV or LED lamp
4. We collect a drop of gel, spread on the middle of the nail. Now we distribute a thin layer to the cuticle and side rollers. Dry in the lamp.
5. Next, we begin to file. Even if it seems to you that you have applied the gel as evenly as possible, it is still full of errors that will be visible when overlapping with color. Use a file of medium hardness. With this coating, your pedicure will be diamond hardness.
6. If the nail is slightly overgrown, then a thick layer may form on the inside if gelled. So, we don’t need such “pies”. Carefully cut the outside with a milling cutter. Such a nail will not twist under the gel.
7. Now you can coat the gel with a color coating. And if you used camouflage gel, then you can leave the pedicure in such a beautiful nude color. It will look like a very gentle and natural option.
8. The last step we do is topcoat top. Do not forget to cover the top and the ends of the nails. Be careful with small fingers so that the top does not numb under the nail.

The second way - restoration (extension) of nails

A common problem with pedicures is broken edges. Or maybe you later remembered the pedicure and you have the wrong shape of the nails. Also, with various diseases of the nails, part of it can be cut off. In this case, you can always "add" your fingernail to the ideal using a gel.

It is best to use a dense gel, since it is difficult to substitute the form under the toenails. All steps are exactly the same with reinforcement. The difference is only in the application of the gel.

Here we would take a small amount of gel on the brush and apply on the part of the nail close to the missing piece. And now, with small, unsharp movements, we begin to add a fingernail. Do not immediately completely cover the nail, so the gel should acquire the desired shape.

If the piece is very large, then you can dry the nail in stages.

Next, we also file away the surface of the nail, cover with a color coating and top. And now your nail is in full glory and it was not worth hiding it.
