Out of all the significant issues in a woman\’s life, her matte nail polish is a main priority. Many women would not be out in public without a coat of lacquer on their fingers. The problem with most treatments such as traditional acetone paint is that they do not survive on the nail very long and require constant care. Gardening, cooking and even reading books are all intensive on the hands and can put nail varnish in line for some damage. If a person wants a salon manicure to last until a specific event, they often have to wait until shortly before to have it done so that it stays complete.

The answer to all of these problems is the use of gel nail polish. A long time of testing and research has developed a paint that adheres to the nail completely without flaking. In fact, a downside to the product is that it lasts too long and can only be taken off by a nail technician. This shows just how hard-wearing the coat is in daily life. It means that people who routinely use their hands and can\’t be gentle enough to keep acetone on can rely on gels.

Gels should only be applied by a professional. Unlike other paint, UV substances demand much more skill to get them onto the nail and looking good. There is also a need to burnish, file and wipe the nail as it is being painted and cured so that the color comes out right. The additional cost for all of this extra work is normally a further $20 on the price of an acetone matte nail polish manicure. This cost works out as very worthwhile as it lasts longer, looks great and feels much more robust on the nail.

Nail polishes have grown suddenly in the last three years as new standards for nail color are being set. The exclusion of three major chemicals known to cause health problems is just one of these developments. Some of these chemicals were thought to cause reproductive dangers as well as harming the health of the nails. Products like OPI no longer require buffing or primer coats and match Shellac in their ease of application and removal. Through these changes and evolutions the gel nail world has grown kinder to the health of those wearing them.

When booking your first appointment for these polishes you should ensure the technician is trained and qualified. When applied correctly these colors are great, but they can damage the nail significantly when used incorrectly.
