Hongnuo uv gel

Types of hongnuo uv gels

Different types of hongnuo uv gel are used for various purposes. Below are some of the common types of UV gels.

• Builder Gel

  Builder gel is a type of gel used to build up the nail. It helps create an even, smooth surface and adds strength to the nails. This gel can be used with natural nails or artificial ones. It is thicker than regular gel polish and can be molded to achieve the desired nail shape.

• Base Gel

  A base gel is applied before other gels or nail polish. It creates a strong foundation for the nail, helping it avoid damage from other chemicals. The base gel also helps the other products stick better to the nail and prevents them from staining the nail.

• Top Gel

  A top gel is applied after all other gels or nail products. It provides a protective layer that keeps the nails safe from UV rays, chemicals, and everyday wear and tear. The top gel gives the nails a shiny finish and helps the manicure last longer without fading or denting.

• Glossy and Matte Gels

  Top gels can be glossy or matte. Glossy gels have a high shine, making them look like they just came from a salon. Matte gels have a flat finish, giving them a more subtle look. Some matte gels also have special effects like sparkles, 3D designs, or color changes when the light hits them.

• Color Gel

  Color gel is like nail polish but in gel form. It comes in many different shades and colors. Color gel can be used alone or on top of a base coat. It needs curing under a UV lamp after each coat to harden it.

• French Manicure Gel

  French manicure gel makes achieving the classic French look easy. It contains pale pink or nude colors to cover the entire nail with one coat. There are also options that only require curing once instead of two times like other gels.

• Extended Wear Gel

  Extended wear gel is a gel that promises longer-lasting manicures. It claims to last longer than regular polish without chipping, usually up to 14 days. This is a good option for people who don't want to go to the salon for refills.

How to choose hongnuo uv gels

When choosing HONGNUO UV gels, it is important to consider the factors that will meet the customer's needs. Here are some tips:

• UV protection:

  Ensure the selected gel offers high protection against UVA and UVB rays. The protection level varies in different gels. Some offer broad-spectrum protection, while others offer a more focused protection.

• Moisturizing:

  Some gel products have ingredients that help hydrate and moisturize the skin. This prevents the gel from causing dryness on the nails or the surrounding skin. Look for gels that have moisturizing properties.

• Longevity:

  Check the reviews to see how long the gel lasts after the first application. The longevity of the nail polish depends on its formulation. The top and base coat layers also influence how long the gel will last before it starts peeling.

  Some UV gels are easy to apply and remove. Check the reviews to see the experiences of other users regarding the application process. Buying a user-friendly gel can make the nail polishing process smoother.

• Scent:

  Some UV gels have a strong, unpleasant smell. This is mostly because of the chemicals used in the gel. There are gels with light and pleasant scents. Choose an odor that doesn't cause any headaches or discomfort.

How to use, install & product safety

• Preparation:

  Gather all necessary materials, including a Hongnuo UV gel kit, nail file, buffer, cuticle pusher, cleanser, lint-free wipes, UV lamp, and top coat. Start by shaping the nails with a file to the desired length and shape. Gently push back and remove excess cuticle using a cuticle pusher to avoid lifting. Make the nails' surface smooth and even by gently buffing them with a nail buffer. This step helps to remove any shine from the nails, creating a better bond for the gel.

• Applying Base Coat:

  Cleanse the nails thoroughly using a nail cleanser or alcohol wipes to remove any oils or residue. Apply a thin layer of Hongnuo UV gel base coat evenly across the nails, avoiding the cuticle area and sidewalls. The base coat creates a smooth foundation for the colored gels and protects the natural nails from potential staining.

• Curing:

  Cure the base coat under the UV lamp for the recommended time, usually 30-60 seconds, depending on the wattage of the lamp. The curing process hardens the gel, adhering it to the nail and preventing lifting.

• Applying Color Gel:

  Apply a thin layer of the chosen Hongnuo UV color gel, then cure under the lamp. Apply a second layer of color gel and cure it again. Apply more layers of color gel and cure them until the desired opacity is reached. Always apply thin layers to ensure proper curing.

• Applying Top Coat:

  Apply a thin layer of Hongnuo UV gel top coat to seal the color and add shine. Cure the top coat under the UV lamp for the recommended time.

• Finishing Touches:

  Once finished, wipe off the sticky layer on the nails using a lint-free wipe or cotton pad dampened with cleanser. This step leaves the nails with a glossy finish. Apply cuticle oil to the nail bed and skin around the nails to moisturize and nourish them.

  Consider wearing protective gear like gloves to shield the skin from potential gel contact. Use sunscreen or SPF gloves to protect hands from UV radiation emitted by the lamp.
