Tips On Best Ways To Get Gelish Nails At Home

By Michelle S. Winters


Gelish nails last longer than regular manicures. This is because they are created from a product that combines the color of a varnish, and the strength of a gel. This combination gel is brushed onto the nail like a regular polish, but withstands the flaking that normal polishes undergo after a few days. Users of this nail product report that they had no need to maintain their nails for three weeks.

One of the defining features of this product is the gel. People have responded positively to the fact that this gel can soak off in water, after a few minutes. Regular attendees of nail salons have noted that this soaking process is gentler than common forms of gel removal. Normally, gels are filed or shattered from the nail.

A Gelish treatment can be obtained from a salon. However, it is very cost-effective to try it at home. A starter-kit only costs $50, and is a worthwhile investment when taking into account the average $40 cost for a single appointment with a nail technician. The only big expense that home users have reported is a curing UV light. Both the UV light and starter kit can be purchased, separately, online.

A home gel treatment with Gelish is very easy to complete after some practice. The nails should be prepared before applying the product, through shaping and filing. It is also a good idea to push the cuticles back. An orange stick is usually very effective for this.

Fingertips are cleansed using some alcohol, applied with a sheathed swab that does not flake or form residue. Then, PH bond is applied. This dehydrates the nail, and primes it for the application of a foundation gel. The whole nail should be cleaned and primed.

Foundation gel acts as a kind of glue, sealing the vanish to the base. This product should be brushed on, like a polish, and left to cure under the UV light for handful of seconds. After this, the color is applied. Gelish provides a variety of colors and glitters in 72 different forms. Two coats of varnish are swept onto the nail. Between these coats, exposure to the UV light is essential.

Colors are best maintained when topped with an after coat. This shiny coat enhances the sheen of the polish, and also provides some additional resistance to damage. Like the polish and the foundation gel, this coating must be cured under the UV light. As a finishing touch, fingers cleansed to smooth away any bumps or residue.

Users of this product have reported that Gelish is easy to use, because, unlike other combination gels, it is thick. As a result, is it resistant to running, making the treatment process simple for beginners. Gelish nails have become a popular substitute to normal manicured nails.
