Haruyama Japanese gel polishes are no longer a novelty in the nail industry. Over the 25 years of the brand's existence, the quality of products was highly appreciated by nail service professionals. The brand leads among similar positions in the market due to its spectacular color palette, harmless composition and ease of application.
Features and composition
Haruyama gel polish is available in stylish 8 ml black bottles. It is characterized by hypoallergenicity, density and plasticity of the coating. Unlike ordinary varnishes, gel does not dry out without drying in a special lamp, which allows you to evenly and slowly apply it on the surface of the nails.
Coating lasts 3-4 weeks. Its durability is also affected by the expiration date. It is necessary to take into account the shelf life of the product after the bottle is opened. The texture of the gel polish begins to change after contact with oxygen, as the solvent begins to evaporate.
The most suitable place to store such products is a cool place away from heat and sunlight. After each use, it is recommended to remove the remnants of gel polish from the neck of the bottle for a tighter closure of the lid.
Each bottle has a description of the composition - the date of its manufacture and the number of shades of the gel coating.
Japanese manufacturers made sure that among the wide palette, each customer found for herself the most suitable color and design.

Application Rules
Haruyama produces basecoats and topcoats for high-quality manicure both in the salon and at home. A matte top, finish without an adhesive layer dries exclusively under the glow of a UV lamp. Funds are packaged in dark opaque bottles with a capacity of 8 ml. Good fixation of all layers allows comfortable brushes.
The rubber base requires polymerization in the rays of a UV lamp. The product is also available in 10 ml jars. The optimal density allows you to align the surface of the nail plates with defects.
A rubber top, viscous in texture, covers the base color with a noble gloss, reliably covering it from chips and cracking for the entire period of wear.
Applying Haruyama shellac involves acting in a specific order. A violation of technology at any stage can lead to the loss of the look of a manicure just a few days later. For high-quality coverage, you will need certain devices and strict adherence to step-by-step instructions. The technique of manicure with shellac is simple, but it requires accuracy from the artist.
For the durability of the coating, it is important to dry in the llama every layer applied to the nail. The manufacturer of Japanese products recommends using an ultraviolet lamp or LED. But the latter does not dry all types of color coatings of Haruyama, so it is better to purchase a 36 W UV device.A lamp of greater power will harm the skin of the hands and lead to the appearance of dryness and age spots.
If the lamp is purchased for use at home, it is better to choose a compact device. It combines small dimensions and sufficient power to quickly dry each layer.
UV curing lasts 2 minutes, LED dries in 10-30 seconds. Masters do not have a unanimous opinion about the choice of a device for drying shellac.
Some people prefer the device with less time spent drying, while others tend only to a UV lamp, believing that it guarantees a first-class manicure.
- Before applying a beautiful shade of varnish to the nails, it is necessary to make a neat manicure with the removal of the cuticle and thorough processing of the free edge of the nail plate.
- Before applying the base, the nails are sanded. The stability and quality of the coating depends on how smooth and clean the plate will be. Buff only removes the gloss - the keratin layer of the surface of the nail. This must be done with delicate movements so as not to damage its structure.
- A degreaser is applied to the treated plate to remove residual sawdust. For too soft nails, use a primer.
- The base is applied thinly. If the coating is applied tightly, it may wrinkle in the lamp during drying and will have to redo the work. The base layer provides the maximum setting density of the colored gel with the surface of the nail. It also protects it from the appearance of yellowness when removing pigment.
- Pigmented gel polish is applied in layers, finely and accurately. If uneven staining is obtained, a new layer is applied after drying the previous one.
- Topcoat - Top. It is applied thicker than previous color layers. Dry for 3 minutes under a UV lamp and 60 seconds in the light of an LED lamp. Matte or glossy finish is available. After applying the top with a sticky layer, the coating is treated with an alcohol-containing solution using a nap-free cloth. Typically, such a top is used to fix the color coating with nail art to enhance the adhesion of the layers. And without a picture, it is enough to fix shellac with an ordinary finish.
How to distinguish from a fake?
It's simple. It is only necessary to pay attention to the quality of the application date of production of funds for manicure and buy them in places of certified sale. The bottles have a recognizable design, and the products do not emit a sharp unpleasant odor.
