Content

Very often, after applying gel polish, after a few days, hills, dents are observed on the surface of the plate. Masters do not understand what this is connected with. This is often happening among lovers of homemade manicure who cover the nails on their own. In the article we will tell you why hill and what is a shrinkage of gel polish appear on the surface of the nails.

What is the shrinkage of gel polish?

Please note that recently a manicure with alignment of the nail plate has been quite popular. This allows you to eliminate irregularities, as well as give the thickness of the natural nail, strengthening it. This option is ideal for women in whom the nails are very dense in nature. The thin layer of the base for leveling is enough for the material to be 3 weeks.

But many are faced with the problem of the appearance of hillocks, dents, as well as irregularities on the surface of the coating. This is a shrinkage of material, most often it appears in poorly pigmented varnishes, which should be applied in 3 or more layers for homogeneous coating. This is required so that the natural plate does not shine through, while the coating thickness is satisfied dense. Accordingly, when growing at the end of the nail or in the apex zone, tubercles and dents appear.

Why does gel polish lay down hillocks?

If possible, give up light and poorly pigmented varnishes and use products that are applied in a maximum of two layers. In this case, there will be a thin layer on the surface, which will not give shrinkage.

Features of the appearance of hillocks:

Often, shrinkage is characteristic of plastic, rubber bases, as well as gel polishes. Most often, such bases are suitable for people with a soft nail plate, on which gel polish practically does not hold. The main way to increase the wear of the coating is the use of plastic bases, which become rubber and soft after drying in the ultraviolet.
When clamping, bending the nails, they do not roll up, but continue to sit tightly on a natural nail bed. This is ideal for customers with a very thin nail plate that requires strengthening. To use hard bases for leveling and strengthening thin and soft nails is not an option, because the material is motionless and the nail plate is soft.
Accordingly, when compressing the nail, this material will be cooked. This is a fairly common problem that is often found among gel polish lovers. In this case, the only option to strengthen the natural nail is the use of solid materials such as gel, acrylic or polygel. If you are not a supporter of nail building, then there is no need to apply the material with a thick layer - it is enough to strengthen it with a thin layer. For these purposes, any of the above materials is suitable. After applying gel polish on such a coating, even after a month the socks of the tubercles will not be visible, due to the fact that the material is hard and does not shrink.
Quite often, this happens with popular rubber bases, which are aligned with thin nail plates. Accordingly, most often such bases are more suitable for dense nails that do not bend. For soft and lifeless nails, this kind of base can align the nail plate well, strengthen it, but will not relieve that the nails bend.
After about one to two weeks, hillocks will appear on the surface of the nail. This is due to the shrinkage of the material, and its softness. Quite often, this happens with ordinary transparent low -quality gels, which are sold mainly on AliExpress. We advise you to choose gels of trusted manufacturers that give a minimum shrinkage.

Ways to avoid the appearance of hill and relief when applying gel polish

How to understand whether the material will be buzzing on the nails, will shrink or not? To do this, you can conduct several experiments. Take a sheet of paper with slippery, protected coating, or ordinary dense polyethylene. Now apply several layers of strengthening material. It can be a base or gel polish. Dry in a lamp, now remove from polyethylene or paper. Try to bend if the material breaks, it is quite hard, and does not shrink. Accordingly, after time, after covering with several layers of gel polish, you will not find hill on it.

If the material is quite flexible, bends, while cutting will be observed on its surface, then the material is soft. It prolongs the soreness of gel polish on very thin nails, but one of the disadvantages is the appearance of hillocks and relief. Usually this happens closer to correction, that is, after two to three weeks. If at the very beginning the manicure looked quite beautiful and perfectly, with a clear glare, then closer to correction on the surface of the nail appears a relief, mounds, fossa, cavities. Most often, this manifests itself at the junction of the free edge and nail bed. This is due to the characteristics of the growth of the nail.

Ways to avoid hillocks:

The use of solid materials to strengthen nails, such as polygel and acrylic
The use of hard BASE using varnishes with a high degree of pigmentation, which can be placed in one or two layers

Accordingly, we recommend on very thin, brittle and flexible nails to strengthen not rubber bases, but more solid materials that will not shrink after the sock of the coating.

If you are not ready to refuse to equalize the base, then in this case we advise you to use a certain application technique that differs somewhat from the fastest and most affordable. The easiest way to apply the base with a leveling layer. Initially, the nail with the help of a brush, rubbing movements is smeared with the base. Only then a large drop of the product is applied and with the help of the brush is compared and pulled to the area of \u200b\u200bthe cuticle, lateral rollers. After that, the nail turns down, and after a few seconds to dry. This is the easiest option that allows you to achieve perfect alignment and tightening of the nail in a few seconds.

But this method has a disadvantage - it is absolutely not suitable for strengthening very thin and flexible nails, because the thick layer of the base will over time give a shrinkage and provoke the appearance of tubercles on the nails.

Instructions for applying the base on thin and bending nails:

To prevent this from happening, we recommend using the base with current characteristics as a substrate, that is, very liquid. The nail plate is smeared with the base, dried. Only after that we advise you to align the rubber base of a thick consistency, which does not spread. At the same time, we recommend increasing the drying time.
That is, if the base dries in one minute, we advise you to hold it in a lamp for two minutes. This will prevent the appearance of shrinkage of the material. Is it possible to avoid the appearance of hillocks by aligning with acrylic powder? The fact is that acrylic on its own, if it is without a monomer and is applied in order to strengthen the wet base, will not relieve the relief.
Because the base will sag with acrylic. This is due to the fact that grains are not interconnected, but only represented in the form of suspension. For thin nails that are bend under the base layer, provoking the appearance of hillocks, we recommend using special bases with fibers in order to strengthen. They are sold not in bottles, but in large jars with a wide neck. Inside these bases, villi are visible. This is nothing more than silk. It is with the help of these thin threads that it is possible to achieve the strengthening of the nail, as well as prevent the appearance of hillocks.

As for camouflage bases, they are also susceptible to the appearance of hillocks on the surface. This is due to the presence of pigments in their composition. Therefore, we advise you to use such bases on nails mounted by artificial materials. That is, apply them exclusively to the nails that are strengthened by polygel, acrylic or gel. This will make it possible to get rid of the appearance of hillocks, as well as the relief during a long sock of the material on the nails.

Why does gel polish slide off the base, lies unevenly?

Quite often it happens that after applying the base the next layer of gel polish goes and its application becomes very uncomfortable. Gel polish can lie unevenly. Most often, this happens with propelled rods, some types of varnishes run away from the ends, as well as in the area of \u200b\u200bthe cuticle, and it is not always possible to fix it. For manicure masters, this usually does not make any problem, since they work as a conveyor method, that is, one finger. But this is a significant drawback for girls who make gel polish for themselves, and want to dry all five fingers at once.

So that the gel polish does not lie down with propelled rods, does not spread, do not run away from the ends, we advise you to remove the sticky layer from it with an ordinary nonhorsan cloth before applying color to the base. It is this sticky layer that makes the application very slippery, and contributes to the spread of gel polish. Most often, such a technique is necessary before applying pastel, light colors that bald and lie unevenly.
