What factors determine the durability of a gel manicure? Is it the nail technician's skills, the choice of color or top coatings? All the details should certainly be taken into account, but it is worth dwelling on the quality of the top coat in more detail. This material is responsible for fixing the entire design - it prevents peeling, chipping, cracks, scratches, fading ... A universal top from the HD Hollywood brand will help to ensure a long wearing period. It reliably fixes the decorative layers applied earlier, while enhancing their brightness.
Features of HD Hollywood Top Coat:
- ultra-glossy coating that does not fade;
- UV filter that protects the nail plates from fading;
- provides additional shine to the gel polish;
- reliable protection against mechanical damage;
- optimal consistency density;
- prolongs the durability of the decorative coating;
- a convenient brush accurately applies the top coat;
- is transparent.
Prepare Nails:
Make sure your base color or gel polish is fully cured and cleaned of any sticky residue.
Apply Top Coat:
Apply a thin, even layer of HD Hollywood Top Coat over the nail surface.
Be sure to seal the free edge for longer-lasting results.
Cure:
Cure under a UV/LED lamp for 30–60 seconds (depending on your lamp’s wattage, usually 24–48W).
Finish:
If the top coat leaves a sticky layer, wipe nails with a cleanser or alcohol to reveal a high-gloss, durable finish.
