Do I need to remove the sticky layer from the base before applying gel polish?

When a manicure is done at home, the girl does not always know whether to remove the sticky layer from the base before applying gel polish. Professionals are not united in their opinion and believe that everything depends on what means a person uses.

It happens that the base and gel polish used are not from the same manufacturer, and the girl wonders if there will be incompatibilities between the two. It must be said that at the final stage, when the polymerization process occurs, the formed sticky layer needs to be removed, since it can cause allergies. Moreover, it is precisely because of it that the necessary effect on the nails is sometimes not achieved, since most of the shades are dull.

The nail plate is also degreased before applying the primer.

In this case, color deterioration is not the biggest problem that the nail art designer is faced with.

The sticky layer is erased with an alcohol-containing solution using a simple cloth.

There is such a myth that if you do not remove the sticky layer, it will become the reason why the gel polish lasts on the nails for less time.This is completely wrong, as practice has shown that manicure lasts equally long with or without a sticky layer. Rather, on the contrary, if a base and gel polish of the same company are used, then it is not even worth removing it, since it strengthens the surface.

Remove it only after the top layer has dried under the lamp.

It is always worth looking at the manufacturer's recommendations, since it is in the instructions that the features of using nail design tools are indicated. If there is no information about this on the bottle, then you should turn to the official website, where it will definitely be. This will not only make a more stable manicure, but also not spoil the expensive material.
