I have been doing manicure with gel polish for a long time, and from time to time I notice that my nails bake. Yes, sometimes so that it is impossible to endure. Is this normal? Why bakes gel polish in a dryer? What to do? Today I propose to sort out these issues, I am sure that most gel polish lovers have come across this.
The easiest way to find out why bakes gel polish in a lamp is to ask the master. A qualified specialist will always be able to answer this question for you. An equally simple way is to read on Yandex Zen at the Business cosmetic bag, I will gladly share with you the answer from the manicurist.
So why does gel polish bake when dried in a lamp?
You should not be afraid, this is a completely natural phenomenon, but it is important to understand what to do when burning, so as not to get unpleasant consequences. When nails are dried in a lamp, a chemical reaction occurs from exposure to ultraviolet light, due to which the gel hardens. This is called polymerization. Who remembers the school chemistry course?
A burning sensation most often occurs when the base is dried, that is, the first layer that the master applies to us. Colored varnish then no longer causes discomfort. The transparent material bakes stronger, as it lacks pigment, which makes the reaction a little slower and more painless.
But not every base bakes, there are nuances here, from its type to the thickness of the layer. Rubber bases bake stronger, because the rubber in the composition makes them thicker. With its help, the master often makes the alignment of the nail plate, masking the irregularities of the nail, the layer is thicker. And the thicker the base layer, the more it bakes.
Camouflage bases, which I love with all my heart, do not cause discomfort, since they contain a little pigment and are not so transparent. Often, craftsmen align the plate with a regular base, and camouflage is already applied on top, like any other colored varnish.
There is another reason that points to a door low competence of the master and can lead to a burning sensation. This is the wrong removal of old material (most often) and poor-quality manicure when the nail plate suffers. If it is thinned, especially if there are cuts, the nails become sensitive and painful. The best option is to change the master if you care about the health and aesthetics of your nails. After such would-be masters, poor women are sure that a manicure with gel polish does not suit them, that nails deteriorate from it.
What to do if gel polish bakes in a lamp?
If you just feel warm, which does not bring you any discomfort, you do not need to do anything. But if you have a feeling of discomfort and pain, you can't stand it! In no case. You just need to carefully remove your fingers from the lamp and wait until these sensations go away. They go away quickly, and usually do not repeat, but if anything, take it out again.
If you play a hero who is ready to endure for the sake of beauty, you can get a burn of the nail plate. And there is little beauty in it, believe me. And enjoyable too. And then the nails will need to be treated, not painted.
The master usually knows which base from his arsenal can bake, especially if the nails require good alignment, and warns the client about this. But you and I know that the masters are different, so it is important to know such moments yourself. Hope you're in luck with the master!
