Every woman wants a beautiful manicure - unfortunately, most nail designs require medium to long nails. This is where so-called modeling comes to the rescue - the new technology with UV light supposedly strengthens the natural nails and promotes their growth. It can also be used to quickly attach nail extensions. In the article we will tell you what is behind the technology and whether you can do gel nails yourself.
What exactly is modeling?
First it is necessary to prepare the nails - the cuticles are removed, the nails are filed and finely polished until the surface no longer shines. Only then can the modeling be carried out. It is always applied in three layers – adhesive layer, build-up layer and sealing layer. Each layer is cured using a UV lamp and then additionally processed. There are basically three variants to choose from - if the natural nails are long enough, only one layer of gel is applied. This guarantees that the paint and thatcool nail designlast longer. This also protects the nails from splintering. If you would like to have your nails extended, you can do this using stencils or tips. These are then additionally filed and polished, and the second and third layers of gel are applied to them and cured with UV light. In the end, the artificial nails look very natural and supposedly last much longer than acrylic nails.

In summary – gel nails look good, promote the growth of natural nails and last a long time. In any case, beginners should not try to do this themselves, but rather go to a nail salon. Only women who have a certain amount of experience and have/had a modeling position can try it. In any case, there is a risk of damaging your own fingernails.
