How to restore gel polish
If the life of ordinary varnishes is listed for months, then the gel varnish can serve its owner for two years. There are times when the product begins to change its consistency ahead of time, which means that storage rules were not followed during operation. Gel polish may begin to thicken for the following reasons:
- The product was often kept warm or in direct sunlight.
- Remains of varnish have frozen on the neck of the bottle.
- The lid of the gel polish was not always tightly screwed
- The agent was often kept near a UV lamp in operation.
To prevent this from happening, it is advised to take seriously the rules for using the gel polish and promptly remove the remnants of the product from the neck. If the product still thickens, you can save it in two ways:
- Add a few drops of regular alcohol or a solution that contains this element to the gel polish. As a result, the consistency of the product will become more liquid, and the coating will come out even and shiny. This method, although valid, but after its implementation in reality, the coating can quickly chip off the nail plates.
- Use a special solvent for gel polish, which is aimed at changing the consistency of thick and dry polishes. Such products usually do not contain acetone in their composition, do not change the structure and shade of the varnish.
Why does the varnish bubble?
When applying the dye to the nail plates, small bubbles can be seen on the coating. The presence of such defects spoils the general appearance of the manicure. What is the reason for this phenomenon?
It is worth noting that varnish can even bubble from a well-known brand, so this is not a matter of quality. The main reason is vigorous shaking of the bottle in an upright position. On the one hand, shaking helps to make the consistency of the product more uniform, but during this action, air is formed in the bottle, which leads to the formation of bubbles on the surface of the nail plates. The second reason is moisture getting into the bottle.
Many of the fair sex do not throw away varnish when the expiration date indicated on the product has passed, but when the product has thickened or has completely consumed itself. Old varnish is another possible cause of bubbles. In this case, the product must be discarded. Keep in mind that before doing a manicure, you need to completely degrease the nail plates.
If you, while in a beauty store, cannot find a varnish, take two small jars of different dyes, rather than one large bottle of varnish, the consistency of which, if you rarely use this product, can quickly thicken. Video tips on how to dilute thickened varnish:
