What are the gel polishes?

Nail polishes whose innovative formula guarantees a long-lasting hold. Most gel formulas offer a base coat and lacquer combination, to sublimate the manicure while taking care of our nails. These public gel polishes are the perfect alternative to gel manicures offered in the salon. A blend of acrylic polymers, gelling agents and crystalline copolymers that strengthen the nail and prolong the performance of the varnish.

So these gel polishes, beautiful words or promise held?

To find out, I tested the gel polish! The formulas of these gel lacquers often combine bases and nail polish. However, little reckless, I remain faithful to the application of a base of care. After the base, I apply the gel polish that I chose, in two layers. A beautiful orange held & Strong Pro Megawatt by Maybelline. I do not apply a top coat since the brilliance obtained thanks to the gel technology is already superb! Five days later, I'm in love! The color is really beautiful and radiant. As for the promise of long-lasting dress, I am convinced! After two swims and three good rounds of dishes, the gel polish is barely scaled on the tips of my nails. I am all the more seduced by the fact that the application of the varnish is made very easy by the patented brush. And he retires easily, with a classic solvent.

The advantage of these gel coatings ?

It's their long run without being too aggressive for our nails. To avoid taking risks, I recommend however not to skip the step base coat. Nevertheless, a varnish that holds a week is good. And amply enough! Because, besides the fact that we like to change color often, we must not forget to let the nails breathe between two poses of varnish. After the application of a gel varnish, if in doubt, it is better to double the rest time for nails in perfect health!
