Features of a manicure with gel coating
Such a coating has many advantages:

- the gel manicure looks equally good both on short nails and on long nails;
- this coating makes the nails well-groomed, shiny, it lasts up to three months, although, as a rule, it is removed after 2-3 weeks because of the nail growing and uncovering uncovered areas;
- undoubtedly, a huge plus is the widest color range of gel varnishes - from pastel shades to daring and shiny ones.

The technology of beautiful gel manicure
You can make a gel manicure both in the studio or in the salon of the nail service, and at home. The latter option assumes the presence of the following set:

- Brushes for drawing elements or patterns, if any;
- orange sticks, which, in fact, perform a similar function to the brushes;
