Gel paint for nails - how to use it correctly and what is it for? Set price, types and reviews

Gel nail paint

The composition of the paint is similar to gel polish. Produced in the form of a transparent substance and in various colors. Saturated tones allow you to create vivid compositions. It is used exclusively for design, in contrast to the gel, the purpose of which is to model the nail plate.

Paint, as well as other gel coatings, are cured under an ultraviolet lamp. The dense texture allows you to achieve a rich color from the first layer. The thickness of the layer when painting or creating a drawing is 0.3-2 mm.

Paint gel is available in a different color palette, ideal for extended and natural nails. If there is no suitable tone, the compositions can be mixed with each other. Masters love to use this technique to create an exclusive manicure. The applied pattern can be corrected before drying and during polymerization under the lamp.

The main advantage is the ease of application to the nail. The liquid structure does not spread at all. And one layer is enough to achieve a rich color.

A topcoat should be applied over the patterned layer. So the manicure will last longer and will resist mechanical stress.

Manicure paints are produced in two types:

1. with sticky layer, the purpose of which is to create a manicure using the casting technique;
2. No sticky layer are used to create a painting, decoration, French manicure and a thin dense coating.

It is enough to attach a strip of foil with a matte side to the traced contour and press it. After removal, lines similar to molten metal remain.

Alexandra, 24 years old: I am a beginner nail technician. I tried several gel paint manufacturers for my work, but most of all I liked working with E.Mi. Everything is thought out in a ready-made kit. Tones already differ in color saturation, but I like to mix more. Unusual and interesting shades are obtained. When drawing contours, the lines do not spread, and under the lamp, the nails are dried in 1-2 minutes. I recommend to try!

Xenia, 19 years old: They gave Cody a set for his birthday. I could not even think that I myself would create such masterpieces, because I really did not know how to draw. The miracle is achieved by using the casting technique and quality Cody coatings.

Victoria, 37 years old: I decided to save on nail paint and purchased Canni Nail Art Output for the first time. Seemingly bright tones, lying on the plate, do not give a saturated color. The contours are difficult to draw. I had to apply 4 coats to get full coverage. This manicure only lasted 5 days. So far Cody hasn't tried anything better.
