Gel Polish at Boozyshop Long Lasting, Strong Nails with a Professional Look
Want to enjoy perfectly polished nails for weeks without chipping? Then gel polish is the solution. Gel polish is a strong, long-lasting nail polish that cures under a UV or LED lamp. This allows the polish to stay flawless for an average of 10 to 14 days without chipping. Ideal for anyone who loves a well-groomed manicure with a professional finish.
How do you apply gel polish?
Applying gel polish is slightly different from regular nail polish, but with a little practice it’s easy to master. Follow these steps for a perfect manicure:
- Lightly file the nails so the polish adheres better.
- Apply a thin layer of base coat and cure it under a UV or LED lamp.
- Apply a thin layer of gel polish and cure it. Repeat if needed for extra coverage.
- Seal the manicure with a top coat and cure again.
- Use a cleanser if needed to remove the sticky layer.
By working in thin layers and curing each layer properly, your gel polish will last longer and you’ll avoid air bubbles or lifting.
How do you remove gel polish?
Removing gel polish takes a bit more time than regular nail polish, but with the right technique it’s easy:
- File off the shiny top coat.
- Soak a cotton pad or nail wipe with gel polish remover and place it on the nail.
- Wrap the nails in aluminium foil and let it soak for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Gently remove the loosened gel polish using a cuticle stick.
- File away any residue and nourish the nails with cuticle oil.
Avoid peeling or scraping off the polish, as this can damage your natural nails.
Which lamp do you need for gel polish?
To cure gel polish, you need a special lamp. You can choose between a UV or LED lamp. Most gel polishes are suitable for both, but always check the product instructions. UV lamps usually take a bit longer, while LED lamps cure faster. If your polish no longer cures properly, it may be time to replace your lamp.
