Gel manicure is one of the main trends today. Such a manicure lasts longer (3 weeks!) And makes the nails even more well-groomed. They remain shiny for a long time, besides, according to the assurances of companies producing gel coatings, gel polishes, thanks to the vitamins they contain, also strengthen nails. In general, not a manicure, but a miracle. And if earlier gel manicure could only be done in a beauty salon, now it is easy to create it at home. How to do it, we were told (and shown) by Orly beauty experts.

So let's get started:

STEP 1

On prepared and filed nails, move the cuticle with a stick and degrease the nail plate (photo 1).

STEP 2

STEP 3

Apply two thin coats of your chosen color coat and cure each coat in the lamp for 30 seconds (photo 4).

STEP 4

Apply a thin, even layer of fixer and cure in the lamp for 30 seconds (photo 5).

STEP 5

Remove the sticky layer with a lint-free cloth moistened with degreaser (photo 6), and apply 1-2 drops of cuticle oil to each nail (photo 7).
