Coating nails with biogel, its main functions, the benefits of this procedure, the technique of applying the substance at home, nail extension with a means and the removal technology. Biogel for nails is a material that has been developed for the care and protection of nail plates. In addition, it can be used to give them the desired shape. The main components of the product are organic proteins, of which more than 60%, as well as teak resin, vitamins A and E.
The benefits of coating nails with biogel
Teak, which grows in South America, has unusually strong trunks, all thanks to the resin. Such an important component in the composition of biogel will be responsible for the strength of your marigolds, but at the same time they will not lose their elasticity.
In addition, proteins are included in the product. A thin layer of protein that covers the nail plate protects it from negative external influences. It should be noted that if the biogel is of high quality, then it has a certificate allowing its use for cosmetic purposes. Thus, its complete non-toxicity is confirmed.
This method of strengthening and modeling nails very quickly gained popularity among clients of beauty salons. The procedure is also easy to carry out at home. After applying the product, women receive a beautiful and neat manicure, which, moreover, will perfectly heal and strengthen the nails.
Thus, the coating of nails with biogel gradually pushes into the background other methods of caring for marigolds, including their extension. Thanks to the use of biogel, the structure of the natural nail plate becomes stronger. The tool will not affect its growth and development in any way.
Biogel is applied in a thin transparent layer, and, what is important, it does not block the access of oxygen to the natural nail, and the applied layer is resistant to various external influences. You will not need to use various chemicals or resort to painful procedures in order to file your nail. Biogel perfectly interacts with the natural nail plate, increasing its elasticity.
The main advantages of the procedure using this tool include:
- The preparation process for applying biogel is simple.
- The coating procedure will not be accompanied by unpleasant odors and dust, as is the case with normal extensions.
- The tool will cover only the nail plate, gently leveling its structure.
- The application procedure will not take much of your time.
- You can remove the biogel coating within ten minutes, the process is quick and painless.
- Biogel is a material that is distinguished by high indicators of environmental friendliness and hyperallergenicity, because it contains only natural ingredients.
- Decorative plates made of biogel will be light and comfortable to wear, they are strong and durable, do not need frequent correction.
Cons and contraindications for applying biogel to nails
Like any other cosmetic procedure, this innovative product has some disadvantages. The material will not very well tolerate interaction with various chemical solvents (for example, methyl alcohol, acetone or alkalis of household products).
Biogel is not one hundred percent water-repellent material. This means that with prolonged interaction with water, it will lose its qualities. But these nuances are easy to eliminate: it is worth using rubber gloves that will help keep your nails in perfect condition for several weeks.
In addition, biogel does not strengthen nails as much as acrylic does. And the cost of applying biogel in a beauty salon is slightly higher than the usual procedure for building up or coating with gel polish.
But the contraindications for this remedy have not yet been found. This is a natural hypoallergenic drug that is absolutely harmless and environmentally friendly. Even those ladies who have allergic reactions to acrylic or gel can safely resort to the procedure for covering nails with biogel. It is not contraindicated for pregnant women, nursing mothers.
It is worth noting that in some beauty salons you may be denied the procedure for coating with biogel if you have signs of psoriasis or fungus on your nails.
The main varieties of biogel for nails
The procedure for applying biogel, both in salons and at home, should be performed exclusively by professional means. Producers such as Biosculpturegel, BBS, Calgel, Lazar, Soak, Ibd, Gel Ljve, Nobility, San Planet, Opi Nails, Bio Sculpture and others have proven themselves well.
Biogel for nails can be of different types:
- Transparent biogel … It is most often used as a base coat. It almost does not shine, so it is recommended to apply another layer on it - the main one. It dries quickly, in just a couple of minutes. It is used to treat microcracks in the nails, it strengthens them perfectly.
- Sculptural biogel … It contains shellac extract which enhances its durability and elasticity. Its color is opaque, natural. As a rule, this material is used for nail sculpting and extension. It also helps to strengthen nails, increase their elasticity. It is used in the technique of aquarium nail design.
- Royal sealer … This product is designed to make your nails shine. Such biogel can be colored or transparent. French manicure is the last to be fixed. Such a drug helps to whiten nails at home, since its color is slightly bluish, which completely eliminates the yellowness and grayness of natural nails.
- S-coating … Hard biogel, it is used for extension with lengthening of nails. This is a completely independent compound that is not used as an additional tool. Strengthening of nails occurs not due to beneficial substances, but due to the strength of the biogel.
- UV biogel … Great for strengthening and protecting the nail plates in the summer from the sun's rays, which negatively affect them. This biogel is applied over the base coat and makes it possible to lighten the nails, protect the cuticle from drying out.
- Colored biogel … It is a stand alone application. It is used more often than transparent. It is necessary to apply the color composition in two layers, it will also dry longer. However, colored biogels are practical, comfortable and have a great effect on nails. Such formulations are an ideal choice for home manicure.

To carry out this procedure at home, you need to buy a set of biogels and a special ultraviolet lamp. With these tools, you will be able to build and correct your nails without leaving your home. The necessary set consists of a soft buff, two primers, a package of biogel, a finish gel, manicure brushes, liquid for removing sticky layers, decorative ornaments (if desired).

How to strengthen nails with biogel while fighting brittleness
For problematic brittle weakened nails, strengthening with biogel is a good solution. The tool will cover the nail plate with a dense layer, and thanks to it, the nail will no longer exfoliate. Brittleness will also stop bothering you, because it will be much more difficult for a nail to break under the biogel coating. Thus, strengthening with this tool will help you get rid of such problems, and your nails will be flexible and elastic.
It is easy to apply biogel at home, the main thing is practice and adherence to all stages of the procedure:
- We disinfect our hands with an antiseptic, push the cuticles aside with a wooden (orange) stick, correct their shape, if necessary, with the help of nail scissors.
- We polish the nails with a special file or buff.
- We cover the nail plate with a primer. The first layer will degrease the surface, and the second will improve adhesion.
- We cover the nails with biogel. You need to start the procedure from the free edge of the nail to its base, the main thing is not to reach the cuticle of 2 mm.
- We seal the free edge of the nail and dry it in an ultraviolet lamp.
- If necessary, apply a few more layers of gel, while the sticky layer does not need to be removed.
- If the surface of the nail comes out uneven, then remove the sticky layer with a degreasing agent (you can also use a wash without acetone). Next, carefully polish the surface.
- Apply the finish gel and cure in the lamp. Remove the excess sticky layer again.
- At the end of the procedure, cuticles are treated with oil.
By correcting this type of manicure, you will not touch or damage the nail plate. It will only be necessary to remove the old layer of biogel with a file and apply a new one using the above technology.
It is important to remember that applying biogel is a process that requires exceptional care. If the product gets on the skin around the nail or on the cuticle, your manicure will be ruined, because in this case the biogel will flake off. If this happens, carefully remove the product before drying in a UV lamp.

- Apply a little biogel to the template near the tip of the nail with a brush, form the nail.
- We apply the required amount of the product in a thin layer, send it to an ultraviolet lamp to dry for a couple of minutes.

How to remove biogel from nails
Biogel is a durable material that will stay on nails for up to four weeks. In the process of removing biogel, as well as in applying, there is nothing complicated, the procedure can be performed at home. To make it go without problems, you should not use it when removing files and cutters.
It is necessary to use a special solution, which usually comes with a biogel agent. With this solution, you need to soak cotton pads and tightly cover each nail plate with them. Next, put the foil cap on your fingers.
Under such “structures” the bio-gel coating will soften and be easier to remove. After ten minutes, the biogel layer will easily come off the nail. If you do not have a special solution, then the usual acetone nail polish remover is also good for the procedure.
