UV gel nails are used more and more nowadays. In this article, the nail supply expert Maryton will tell you how to apply colored UV gel.
Here are the steps for applying colored UV gel:
Nail preparation
First of all, it is important to know if the length of your nails suits you, if so, you can perform a gel nail application on natural nails. Otherwise, you will have to proceed with an extension with capsules or using templates.
Clear UV gel construction
Once the preparation of your nails is done, you can start the application using a transparent base UV gel. Using a medium sized flat brush apply a thin coat of Base UV Gel over the entire surface of the nail. Be careful not to touch the cuticles. Catalyze your nails for 2 minutes under a UV lamp.
Applying color gel
First, apply a layer of colored UV gel to cover the transparent UV gel. Then pass your hand for 2 minutes under the UV lamp. Repeat the step a second time, then degrease the nails using a cotton pad soaked in cleaner.
The finishing step
If you want to add decorations now is the time! Nail art sequins, rhinestones, striping tape, stickers, water decals or even stamping, it’s up to you! Finally apply the finishing gel or UV top coat and pass your hand under the UV lamp for 4 minutes.
