How to apply?
Too many women do not know how to work with gel polishes and various gel systems at home. This is nothing complicated, the main thing is to prepare everything you need and follow the step-by-step instructions at least several times until you fully understand the technology of applying gel polish on nails.
So, you need to prepare:
- nail files, nippers, orange sticks (all instruments must be cleaned and sterilized);
- a primer for nails that degreases the nail plate;
- base;
- gel polish of the desired shade (2 or 3 options can be used);
- top coating;
- cuticle oil.
A step-by-step execution technique is as follows.
- First, prepare the nails for primer application. Remove the glossy layer using a not very hard nail file. We remove the cuticle.
- Next, apply the primer and let it soak for several minutes, after which we apply the selected base.
- Then we dry the nails. The main thing is not to forget to seal them by applying the base on the edge of the nails. It should be dried for 60-90 seconds in an LED lamp and 120 in ordinary UV.
- After applying and drying the base, it is necessary to distribute color gel polish on the nails. Apply it as carefully as possible, without climbing on the cuticle.
- There can be 1 or 2 layers of color, the main thing is that each of them is sealed and dried in the lamp as much as the base, after which you can apply a top coat with or without a sticky layer.
If the coating is with an adhesive layer, then it can be removed using a special liquid, which is in the range of the brand. After completing a manicure, the cuticle should be treated with nail oil.
Reviews
Most of the masters and lovers leave exclusively positive feedback on gel polishes from the brand Grattol. Among the positive reviews, the following points can be noted.

- Varnishes have a very dense texture, but even glossy options do not look too intrusive on nails.
