If you are interested in the world of nails and manicures at all, you must know the trend of gel false nails. In this article, your expert nail supplier Maryton will explain the best methods to learn how to make your gel nails directly at home!

Preparing your nails 

First of all, you must prepare your nails. Just wash your hands, disinfect them and dry them well. Use a cuticle pusher and gently push back your cuticles. Then file the plate of your nails, as well as the ends to make them very smooth. You can also use a polishing block which will allow you to have a better surface to polish your nails. Then make sure to dust your nail well after filing it.

Use your nail file to file the capsule at the level of the nail plate, in order to reduce the demarcation between your natural nail and the capsule. Then comes the time to apply the primer, once applied, let it dry for a few seconds. Finally, apply your base gel which will allow you to smooth the nail and smooth its surface. Then catalyze your nail, place it under your lamp to fix the material.

Gel application

• Capsules

The pose will be noticeably different if you use UV gel or acrylic gel.

• UV gel

At this stage, your capsules are normally already placed and glued. It’s time to apply your UV gel and shape your nail, as well as your curve.

Finishing your nails in gel

Now is the time to choose what shape you are going to give your gel nails. Also file the top of your gel nails to have a homogeneous, smooth surface and a nice natural curve. Finally, you can apply the top coat and catalyze, or otherwise proceed to the application of your favorite semi-permanent varnish and catalyze. For the more creative, you can also let your imagination run wild with nail art: baby boomer, classic French manicure, rhinestones and glitter, etc…
