The gel is a material that is hardened after passing under a lamp. It comes in different shades, textures and features. It can be worked on natural nail, on capsules or in stencil extension. Today, the nail supply expert Maryton will explain everything to you in this article.

The application of UV gel consists of a preparation of the natural nail, the application of the base, the lengthening of the nail and/or the construction. The surface of the gel will be filed down to make it visually harmonious.

The next step will depend on your preference, a French or color, with an application in 1 or 2 coats. Finally, a shiny gloss will be applied to enhance your pose for a minimum of 3 weeks. To harden all the steps, the gel is catalyzed under a UV or UV/LED lamp.
