I did a manicure with gel polish for a long time. No. I did it for a very long time, I no longer remembered how it was to walk with bare nails and how they generally looked at me. It is comfortable, beautiful, persistent, spent 2 hours every 3 weeks and walk with beautiful hands. But then the self-isolation mode came in the spring, they closed all the salons and I had to remove the cover myself. My poor nails, I am so left-handed that I could torture an enemy by removing gel polish. And he would have given up!
The cover of my master was really removed only with a cutter. I was shooting with a special tool that I could buy at the nearest store, I didn't have to choose. I even had a separate article, it turned out frankly bad, but even then I realized how great my nails look without gel. I already liked the broken ones. And as the industries are healthy and beautiful, so in general.
Why am I no longer doing gel polish
The salons were opened, and I didn't even want to go for a manicure. The first and most basic reason is that I really like bare nails. I've been walking for more than six months and I'm not tired. Sometimes I can paint them with translucent varnishes, which I will also talk about.
I also like that I am not attached to any obligatory trip to the master. I do not need to make an appointment in advance to have time to remove and do a new manicure, because according to the law of meanness, for that week, when I have to go to the master, there is a whole heap of things to do. Urgent. Important. Maybe my inner Sonia didn't like manicure?
This may seem like a trifling reason to many, but I had real health problems that I found it difficult to plan with, and I don't like letting people down. In my case - like a load from the shoulders. And also, I enjoyed my nails for the first 2 weeks, then I waited for another one to pass, so that everything was perfect again. My inner perfectionist hates the overgrown cuticle line and gets nervous.
The only thing I love is my nails after the actual bare manicure. The master perfectly files, removes the cuticle, the hands become beautiful and well-groomed. I myself do not know how to work with cuticles, but I found a way out - oil or wax for nails. Everything looks good with them, you should not be lazy to apply only.
My favorite regular varnishes
I have already said that sometimes I apply conventional translucent and transparent varnishes. In fact, this does not happen very often, but sometimes you want to. And I want to have 3 options for this - a transparent varnish from Eveline Cosmetics, I have it in general, their top Mirror Shine, I really have not the first year, but still has not dried.
I also do a pedicure with it, paint it with regular varnish and apply transparent on top so that there is a beautiful shine. I don’t know, maybe all transparent varnishes do not dry for a long time and give a good shine, but I really like it.
Then I have 2 Divage BB nail products, which are also more than one year old, until they dried up. In a tube they have a very beautiful color like camouflage bases - one pink, the other milky. I love that! The nails have a very beautiful light shade, the nails look neat and well-groomed, the photo still does not convey everything, in life it looks just bombastic!
Pink is a remedy for strengthening nails, and milky is against biting them, and I noticed this only now. The manufacturer writes that it has a sour taste and is harmless to the body. Works for 2 days. I never had the habit of biting my nails, I prefer to play big and bite myself, I bought purely because of the color. Of course, I immediately tasted it - really sour and very bitter, really a thing!
I no longer remember where I took it, most likely it was either Magnet Cosmetic, or even Ribbon, when there was still cosmetics there. I inserted widgets for you, this is not an advertisement, it just shows you where you can find it.
Do you make gel polish? Are there any favorites among common varnishes? Like it, if it was interesting, subscribe, I have a huge sea of information on the channel.
