Gel nail decoration: natural appearance and elegance
Do you have experience with UV gel nails? This is a new trend that has won the hearts of many women. False nails are not always synonymous with comfort and beauty. Acrylic nails are thick and can be annoying. If you have a fairly active lifestyle, you may not always feel comfortable and sometimes even… lose your nails! Well, your false nails of course. Help – gel nails! Do you know the difference between them and acrylic ones?

If you are not a big fan of false nails, but you want to strengthen yours: gel nails are a very good choice. The gel is applied directly to the nails. If you want to lengthen them, you can use extensions and capsules that are applied directly to the nails. Gel, unlike acrylic powder, is a viscous substance that hardens under UV radiation. Before applying, you must clean your hands well.
Then, you must choose between extensions (if you want your nails longer) or capsules. The latter are to be stuck directly on the nails. The gel must be applied in several layers. Once the first layer is applied, you must place your hand under a UV lamp. This takes a little time.

Gel nails have many advantages. They are soft and flexible. They break less quickly than false nails. The range of colours is very wide, often with a glossy surface. Gel nails look more natural than acrylic nails. They give off fewer chemical odours when applied.
Acrylic nails are very strong and less fragile. You can wear them for a long time. On the other hand, they look less natural because of their thickness. Another big disadvantage is the odours they give off when applied. Some people find these chemical odours very unpleasant.
Simple and natural looking manicure
As you already know, the trend in fashion and beauty is nature. The more nature, the natural, the better. If you still have weak nails and would like to strengthen them, we recommend gel nails for their natural appearance: to the eye and to the touch. There are many possibilities for coloring and decorating them.

The French Manicure
The French manicure, translated as “French manicure” is one of the nail makeup techniques most loved by women for its natural and elegant look. It is about accentuating the natural beauty of your nails. This method consists of applying, first, a base coat of very light and pastel colored varnish on the entire nail, called base coat in English. Then, a line of white varnish is applied on the edge of the nail to make it appear longer. This nail makeup method was invented in the United States in the 1970s.
