I have tested the UV varnish for the first time. Previously I have often done a gel modellage, but was so rarely satisfied because there were lifts and the gel is chipped. This UV varnish in conjunction with the Base and Top Coat Holds but properly applied loosely 3 weeks. It is more flexible than gel breaks and not by so light strengthened but the nail. You can on the UV lacquer with normal nail polish paint (this then holds virtually unlimited, can be damaging with nail polish remover but without the UV lacquer remove). For the application I can recommend really, really carefully remove the cuticles and to come up with the paint too close to the skin, otherwise there will be lifts and the paint no longer holds. In addition, it is very important to know for inexperienced with gel paints people that during hardening under the UV lamp a sticky "sticky layer" is created that only with a cleaner (isopropanol; if need nail polish remover; alcohol) can be removed and must ! Otherwise, everything sticks to the nail and it does not shine. There to remove after my research in two ways: either soak with acetone and then replace or simply pull the nail. I opted for the latter, is not really easy but not hard. It can not replace "in one go" but needs some time off around pulen, but it's worth it to me. Then the nails (it had also made it not very carefully I) already damaged and must, if you want to apply again not UV varnish, are first filed and polished smooth with me. So Conclusion: I can only recommend, I would buy immediately, is (especially for the price !!) definitely a scary good performance.
