<\/span><\/font>A<\/span> <\/span>gel<\/span> <\/span>polish manicure involves the application of several products, among which, in addition to the colored layer, there are base and top.<\/span> In what order are funds applied to the surface of the nail plate?<\/span> What is the correct manicure to ensure maximum adhesion of the coating and the nail itself?<\/span> Let’s try to figure out<\/span> <\/span>what is first <\/span>applied – <\/span>base<\/span> <\/span>or top, <\/span>why these funds are needed and whether it is possible to do without them.<\/span><\/p>\n

HOW TO APPLY THE BASE CORRECTLY AND WHY YOU NEED IT<\/span><\/h2>\n

The first stage in creating a beautiful and durable manicure is the application of the base, which follows immediately after the processing of the nail plates and their degreasing.<\/span> The base is a transparent thick material that serves to prepare for the further application of colored varnish, but not only.<\/span> Using this tool helps to level the surface of the nail plate, smooth out all irregularities.<\/span> In addition, the base smoothes the scales of the nail, seals it, not allowing harmful substances from the varnish to penetrate deep into the structure.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Base – a base for gel polish.<\/span> It is applied in the first layer and must be fixed in an ultraviolet lamp until completely dry.<\/span> <\/span>How to apply the base to your nails? <\/span>Use the same techniques as when applying regular varnish, trying to cover the entire surface of the nail plate with the product.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can use a primer before applying the base.<\/span> The tool is applied only to the very edge of the nail plate and the stress zone – the area of \u200b\u200bthe nail that is exposed to the greatest stress when pressing on the nail.<\/span> With full coverage of the nails with a primer, you can get the opposite of the expected result – the base will flow down the nail plate to its central part.<\/span> If your nails have previously been treated with a primer and are now correcting, there is no need to apply a primer.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After the base has completely hardened, you can start applying a<\/span> colored coating<\/span> <\/span>. <\/span>Applying a base to nails <\/span>is a must-have protection needed to prevent pigment from getting into the nail and its negative impact.<\/span><\/p>\n

WHEN TO APPLY TOP TO NAILS?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Top or topcoat is the final stage of the manicure.<\/span> It serves to complete the look of varnished nails.<\/span> Depending on the characteristics of the selected product, it can give a shine or matte finish to the coating.<\/span> There are tops on sale that provide original effects on the nails.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What is applied first – top or base <\/span>?<\/span> The top always completes the manicure.<\/span> You cannot draw on its surface, it should not contain any defects, bulges.<\/span> If a speck gets on the brush when applying the top, remove the top layer of the coating and repeat the procedure again.<\/span> The presence of defects and damage to the top can lead to a violation of the aesthetics of the manicure, as well as reduce its reliability.<\/span> If this nail gets in contact with water or household chemicals, the manicure may deteriorate.<\/span> Top performs the functions of ensuring the safety of manicure and ennobles it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When to apply top and base <\/span>?<\/span> Every time you plan to perform a manicure using gel polish.<\/span> These stages cannot be excluded from the process, because the absence of even one of the layers will lead to a violation of the technology and a result corresponding in quality.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The top is also applied to seal the edge of the nail.<\/span> After using a brush, you distribute the product over the surface of the nail plate, walk it along the edge, thus preventing the possibility of penetration of moisture or other substances.<\/span> Such sealing should be carried out regardless of the choice of the shape of the nail and its length.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Why it is important to know how to apply base and top to your nails<\/span><\/h3>\n

The task of a manicure is not just to give your hands a beautiful and well-groomed look, but also to protect the nails from damage.<\/span> The use of a three-layer coating with base and top will allow you to solve this problem as accurately as possible and get excellent results.<\/span> It is important to understand that the color gel polish contains pigments that cannot always boast of a useful composition.<\/span> Their penetration into the area under the nail can lead to disruption of the structure of the nail plate, a change in its color, and the appearance of fragility.<\/span> Base is required.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The top performs other functions.<\/span> It protects the finished coating from damage, ensuring long-term wear of the “nails”.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

How to properly apply base <\/span>and finish <\/span>under <\/span>and on <\/span>gel polish <\/span>?<\/span> There is no difficulty in this.<\/span> The main thing is to thoroughly process the nail before applying the base, sand it, remove the fat.<\/span> Dry each layer well in a lamp – depending on the type of product used, drying may take a different number of minutes.<\/span> The top is applied to a well-dried color layer and decor.<\/span> After drying it, be sure to use cuticle oil and hand cream – they will help soften the skin after exposure to aggressive substances.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Top and base, <\/span>even with knowledge and adherence to the rules of <\/span>how to apply <\/span>them best, will be reliable and safe only when their quality is beyond doubt.<\/span><\/p>\n

Always follow the procedure for applying products for manicure:<\/span><\/p>\n
