Three-phase gel polish: what it is and how to apply?

Recently, a manicure made with gel polish has become very popular among real women of fashion. Women argue that first of all it is convenient and practical. After all, you can contact the master or carry out the procedure at home once every 3-4 weeks, which, of course, saves time. Moreover, a manicure with shellac is always beautiful. In addition, with the development of technology, a huge number of various decorative elements appeared to decorate the nails of the most demanding women.

Now in the beauty industry, you can choose from a wide range of products exactly what you like. Manufacturers offer not only a diverse palette of shellacs, but also a great variety of tools that will help you achieve a perfect manicure. The so-called three-phase gel polish is especially popular.

Based on the name of this tool, it can be concluded that three main products are used for its application: base coat, color composition and fixative. It is worth noting that without these tools, a manicure will not be able to hold out on your nails for a fixed period of time and will lose its original appearance after a few days.

Experts notice that the color palette of three-phase gel polishes cannot be called poorer than the variety of shades of single-phase shellac. Famous brands equally successfully deliver all kinds of funds. The selection of base and fixing coatings does not take long. They are always freely available and in different price categories. It is especially important that many brands produce special rubber bases. Such tools help to get rid of irregularities on the nail plates.

First of all, it is necessary to note the excellent consistency of varnishes, the application of which takes place in three stages. It is not thick and not liquid - medium. This allows you to evenly distribute the tool on the nail, avoiding getting under the cuticle and the formation of bald spots.

Also the important factor is the durability of three-phase gel polishes. Unlike one-stage shellacs, these funds retain their original appearance longer, which is good news for those who save their time.

Three-phase gel polish is easier to remove compared to single-phase and leaves no traces on the nail plate, which is good news.
