Gel nails have become a rage in the nail care industry and are here to stay. Correct application gives you the perfect finish, look and feel compared to those of natural nails and also makes it last longer without damage to your nails. The right application also ensures your clients are always happy and keep coming back to try newer designs.

It is not always easy to achieve the perfect look. First, you have to be a qualified nail tech, a licensed cosmetologist or a person with considerable experience in the nail care segment. Secondly, and the most important is to have a UV gel nail kit. A complete kit with all the requisites plays an important role in getting your application right. The correct equipments and quality gels in a single kit will help you complete your work with ease without the hassle of searching for or substituting a product and compromising on quality. A kit will also ensure consistency in your work practices.

In addition to the regular manicure and pedicure kit, ideally these are the essentials you have to be equipped with for gel nail application. They will help you build, maintain and repair any damage to the nails and get the required look.

o Basecoat, builder, primer gels – these are applied after the nail has been disinfected and prepared for the first application. A thin basecoat gel is applied and then cured under a UV light as recommended by the manufacturer. The tacky substance left on curing is wiped away with a Gel cleaner.

o Sealing and finishing gel – this is applied on the cured nail for a shiny finish. Be sure to apply evenly so as to prevent the formation of air bubbles. If you see minor imperfections in your application you can fix them by a 3-4 way buffer and major imperfections should totally be buffed off and started over again.

o White and Pink Gels – for the French manicures

o Cuticle oil – for softening and working on the cuticle area during the prep stage.

o Gel brush – the correct gel brush will give you ease in applying the gel coats without the formation of air bubbles. Recommended size is 6 or 8 for the best strokes.

Other equipment that you will need is the emery bar with a grit of about 180, nail forms, nail glue, deltoid scissors, cuticle pushers to complete your set. It is also recommended that you invest in a practice finger if this does not come with your kit. This will help you hone your skills to perfection. Some kits may come with a UV lamp for the curing process. Else you will definitely need to invest in one to complete your collection.

Whatever be your choice of kit, be sure to read the manufacturer’s instructions before use and when used with care, your kit will get you the results you want to achieve. It’s worth the investment if you are looking for professional application. Nail school students will find this an ideal choice to start off with their first application as these kits contain all the basic equipments for a complete and thorough application.

How to Have Beautiful Nails

Sun, 26 Dec 2010 07:10:58 +0000

Chris Mac asked:

Looking after your nails to make sure they are healthy is the first step to beautiful nails. Eating fresh fruit and vegetables will ensure strong nail growth and help fight any infection if you have been unfortunate enough to get a nail infection. There are many different medications available if you have a problem with nail fungus and I would suggest a visit to your doctor if the infection persists, as this can actually take a few weeks to heal if simply treating with a home remedy.

Nail fashion has become big business over the last few years and the products available are amazing, you can obtain everything you need to give yourself a beautiful manicure and save yourself a lot of time and money spent going to a salon. It is important that you purchase quality products as infections can happen when false nails get broken off. Shopping online is an excellent way to obtain the products you need, I personally like to shop from Amazon as the variety is limitless and delivery is usually very quick.

Nail art is extremely popular now and you are only limited by your imagination! Many false nails can be purchased with the nail art already done for you, or you can purchase everything you need to have fun doing your own unique designs. Accessories can add a beautiful touch to your designs, such as small pearls or even tiny diamonds. Brides sometimes have french nails with small pearls added to make it extra special! Celtic designs have become very popular lately as have funky designs. Be careful to prepare your nails well and do not rush through the basics so you will be pleased with the finished designs. Make sure you invest in quality polishes and brushes because you want your pretty nails to last as long as possible after all the effort you put into achieving the desired result. If you are looking for ideas on different designs I suggest you go online and look for pictures of nails to get you started.

It is important that you include in your nail kit quality Nail Clippers, a Nail File and a Nail Buffer to achieve a smooth finish.

When doing your own manicure make sure you prepare your nails well before applying any polish. Shape your nails making sure there are no rough edges. Use a buffer before applying any polish, this will remove any ridges in your nails. Do this gently and it will give a professional look to your finished manicure. When applying nail polish be careful to not put on too thickly and make sure each coat is completely dry before applying the next.

French Nails have the timeless classic look of elegance that can be worn on special occasions or just every day at work! There are only several small steps to complete to get this style. When shaping and buffing the nails, make sure there are no rough edges. Apply the base coat, this helps the polish to go on evenly. Make sure this is completely dry before proceeding. Paint each nail from the top to the end of the nail. When dry, dissolve adhesive by rubbing gently with an alcohol soaked cotton swab. Depending on the look you want you next paint a straight line for a square look or if you want a rounded look, follow the curve of your nail. This is where the nail tip guide is used. Finally, apply one coat of shell-pink polish on the finished nail for sealing the whitened tip. Allow to dry completely, a nail dryer is very good for this. If desired you can apply a glossy top coat on your nails for extra shine and protection.

Hi, I need help on finding a nail grooming/manicure kit, that has everything you need to take care of your nails, but it’s affordable, not anything like $200 dollars. I really want to have nice nails, without having to go to the salon all the time.
It might also be called nail care kit, with like nail files, clippers, and that kind of stuff.Similar Posts:
