How to use a matte top for gel polish?

Matte top gel polish - a new version of the nail cover. Satin effect gives the nails a translucent dullness. Slightly soft to the touch layer with time erased, and the nails become shiny again.

Velvet effect creates on the nails, visually and to the touch, a velvet coating that may slightly get dirty.

It is preferable to use a matte finish on dark lacquers, since on light colors the result is almost impossible to notice. An unusual look on the nails with the effect of "cat's eye" or glitter.

To achieve the desired result, it is necessary to adhere to some rules.

• A bottle with a matte top should not be shaken before use. Shaking the bottle will result in bubbles. For a uniform consistency, it is best to roll the package between the palms.

• Matte finish is thicker and more viscous than gloss. Do not be too zealous with the application - the tool should not leak to the skin of the fingers. A thick layer may not completely polymerize the lamp, which will affect the durability of the coating.

• For even distribution on the nail plate, the covered nail should be turned over and held for about a minute in this position.

• Matte top is hard to paint over the area near the cuticle. Due to the inaccessibility of the zone or natural coating of the coating during the drying process, a glossy strip is formed after polymerization. To hide this strip, the top should cover the plate in two passes. The first layer is painted over the cuticle with an ordinary thin brush, and the second wide layer is applied to the entire surface of the nail.

• After polymerization, you must remove the sticky layer with a degreaser and a lint-free cloth, otherwise the coating will remain glossy.

• Any type of stamp should be kept away from sunlight.

• It is not necessary to keep the finish jar open for a long time. Tops, like bases, dry quickly when exposed to oxygen for a long time.

• Drawing the finish is made only after full polymerization of a color layer. Otherwise, if the color falls on the brush, the top in the bottle will stain and become cloudy.
