Beth gel

Types of beth gels

A beth gel is a popular gel used to create beautiful nail art. It is a semi-cured gel that gives the nail technician enough time to design before it gets hard. There are different kinds of gels, such as:

• Pink and White Gel: The pink and white gel gives a natural look. The pink color makes the nails look healthy, while the white color gives the tips of the nails a polished, professional appearance. It is ideal for users who want a natural yet classy finish.
• Clear Gel: A clear gel provides a glossy, transparent layer over the natural nails or any nail color. It adds shine and protects nails from potential chips and damage. It is used for that extra shine and protection.
• Colored Gel: These are gels with different colors, from solid to glittery. They come in different shades, like red, pink, purple, and blue. The gels are used for colorful and creative nail art.
• Builder Gel: Builder gel is a thick gel used to strengthen and build nail extensions. It is applied under color gels to give the nails more strength and support. It is also used to create a more natural-looking nail if one wishes to avoid using artificial nail tips.
• Glitter Gel: This gel contains glitter particles suspended in the gel formula. It is perfect for users who love glitter and want to sparkle. It can be used alone or over other colored gels for a more festive look.
• Soak-off Gel: Soak-off gel is easy to remove by soaking it off in a special solution instead of filing it away. Soak-off gels come in many colors and styles, like clear, glitter, French, and more.
• Thermal Gel: The thermal gel changes color when the gel changes temperature. It is fun to play with and can create a dynamic, ever-changing nail look.
• Foil Gel: This gel is specially made to adhere to nail foils. It is a little sticky and helps the foil designs stick to the nail for a more designer look.

How to choose Beth gels

When choosing a gel for nails, it is important to consider the following factors:

• Skin Type

  When purchasing a gel, it's essential to know the type of skin. There are different types of gels for dry, oily, and combination skin. Choosing a gel for a specific skin type will help to prevent any breakouts or irritation from occurring.

• Fragrance

  Some gels have a strong fragrance that can cause irritation to some people. It is important to purchase a gel with a light fragrance or no fragrance at all if one is prone to irritation.

• SPF

  It is important to wear sunscreen daily, even when using self tanning gels. Purchasing a gel that has SPF in it will help to protect the skin from harmful UV rays.

• Color

  When purchasing a tanning gel for a specific event, it's essential to test the color on the skin before buying. Some gels can appear darker or lighter than they are in the container, so it's always best to test first before purchasing. Also, when buying a tanning gel, it's important to know how long the tan will last. Some gels last longer than others, so it's important to know this before buying.

• Application

  The application of the tanning gel is also important to consider. Some gels come with a spray applicator, while others come with a pump. It's essential to choose an application method that will be easy to use and apply to the skin. When purchasing a gel, it's also important to read the labels and know what the ingredients are. Some gels contain alcohol, which can dry out the skin. It's essential to choose a gel with hydrating ingredients like glycerin or aloe vera.

• Price

  When purchasing a tanning gel, it's important to consider the price. Some gels can be quite expensive, while others are more affordable. It's essential to choose a gel that fits within the budget, but also one that will provide value for money. When buying a gel, it's also important to read reviews from other customers. This will give an idea of what others think about the product and if it is worth purchasing.

How to use, install, and product safety

Using and applying a gel base coat and gel top coat requires a good understanding of the process. Below is a simple step-by-step process to achieve the best results.

• Step 1

  Clean the nails

  Start by cleaning the nails with a nail cleanser or alcohol to remove any oils or dust. Dry the fingers with a clean towel.

• Step 2

  Applying the gel

  Apply a thin layer of the gel base coat to the nail, avoiding the cuticles and edges. Do a thin layer for each nail to prevent the gel from becoming thick. Then, cure the nails under the UV/LED lamp for about 30 seconds. This will help dry the gel properly.

• Step 3

  Apply the second layer

  Apply a second layer of the gel base coat and cure again. Next, apply the desired gel color and do two or three layers, curing each layer under the lamp.

• Step 4

  Apply the gel top coat

  Once the colored gel is done, apply a thin layer of the gel top coat. Make sure to cover the edges and cure under the lamp. Wipe off any sticky residue using a cleanser or alcohol. This leaves the nails shiny and creates a protective layer that prevents the color from fading.

Product Safety

Gel nail polish is safe for use on the body. However, it is recommended not to use it on a frequent or continuous basis. The ingredients used in gel polish are said to be toxic. Some people are allergic to them and experience reactions. In some extreme cases, the toxic ingredients can cause skin cancer.

When using gel polish, it's important to take the following precautions:

• Use sunscreen: Apply sunscreen to the hands before putting them under the UV lamp. The UV light is said to emit similar rays to a tanning bed and can cause skin damage.
• Check the lamp: Make sure the lamp used dries the nails with the correct wavelength. Some lamps can use a wavelength of 365-405nm, which is harmful to the skin.
• Use a base coat: A base coat creates a barrier between the gel polish and the nails. It also prevents the nails from getting stained by the different colors of polish.
• Avoid strong scents: When purchasing gels, avoid those that have strong scents. The strong scents indicate the presence of toxic chemicals that can cause damage to the liver or brain.
• Avoid contact with cuticles: The gel can cause irritation or inflammation if it comes into contact with the skin or cuticles.
• Consult a doctor: If any irritation occurs, stop using the product and consult a doctor. A professional will help you determine what product to use on your nails.

Functions, features, and designs of Beth gels

Every product has features and functions that make it effective and serve its intended purpose. Below are some of them.

• Beth gel is infused with aloe vera, vitamin E, and allantoin, which are known to soothe and moisturize the skin. Aloe vera has anti-inflammatory properties that soothe the skin, while vitamin E has moisturizing properties. Allantoin also helps moisturize the skin and makes it smooth and more supple.

• Some Beth gels have ingredients that help reduce fine lines and wrinkles on the face. This is because they contain collagen, retinol, and peptides. Collagen is a protein that makes the skin look firm and smooth. It is produced naturally in the body but reduces as one ages. Skin that lacks collagen tends to sag and develop wrinkles. Beth gel with collagen adds more to the skin, making it look youthful. On the other hand, retinol is known for its ability to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It promotes skin renewal and helps to produce more collagen. Peptides also help the skin look firmer and more youthful.

• Most Beth gels have non-comedogenic properties. They don't clog the pores and allow sebum to flow freely. This helps to prevent acne and breakouts.

• Because of their light texture, Beth gels are easily absorbed into the skin. It doesn't leave a greasy or sticky residue, making it a suitable skincare product for all skin types.

• The major and most important ingredient in Beth gel is water. It provides intense hydration and moisture to the skin. The level of hydration varies depending on the amount of water in the gel.
