SOFT ODER HARD ? BASE ODER GEL? Wann brauchst du was?
Soft (Base in der Flasche) Ein Material für schnelles und unkompliziertes Arbeiten. Lässt sich leicht auftragen, schnell ausgleichen und ergibt eine saubere Oberfläche ohne unnötige Schichten. Geeignet, wenn die Nägel stabil sind, keine ausgeprägte Flexibilität haben und keine Länge vorhanden ist. Kann mit Remover oder mit der Fräse entfernt werden. Hard (aufbauender Gel) Wird verwendet, wenn die Nägel dünn, weich, flexibel sind oder wenn Länge vorhanden ist. Der Gel gibt Stabilität, damit sich der Nagel nicht verbiegt und sich das Material am freien Rand nicht ablöst. Wird nur mit der Fräse entfernt. Zustand der Nägel / Ziel Material Nägel stabil, keine Länge Verstärkung mit Hard-Gel Nägel dünn / weich / flexibel / mit Länge Hard-Gel dünn + Base darüber Farbe ist nur als Base vorhanden, Nägel brauchen Stabilität Hard-Gel dünn + Base darüber Farbe ist nur als Gel vorhanden, Nägel sind stabil Dünne Base darunter + Gel darüber Wenn die Kundin die Farbe der Base möchte, aber die Nägel Verstärkung brauchen 1.

Dünne transparente Base auf den ganzen Nagel (für Haftung und Schutz). 2. Kleiner Verstärkungsrand mit Gel am freien Nagelrand (gegen Liftings). 3. Form bei Bedarf leicht feilen. 4. Farbe und Ausgleich mit Gel. Ergebnis: Das Gel trägt nicht zu dick auf, der freie Rand löst sich nicht, das Ergebnis hält stabil. Grundsätzlich kannst du sowohl Base(Soft) als auch Gel (Hard) in deiner Arbeit verwenden.Für kurze und mittlere Nägel eignen sich beide Materialien. Bei sehr langen Nägeln ist Gel die bessere Wahl, da es mehr Stabilität gibt.Wenn du hauptsächlich mit Studiokunden arbeitest, kannst du beide Materialien flexibel nutzen und den Farbton wählen, der dir gefällt – die richtige Technik passen wir dann je nach Nageltyp an.

Warum hält Shellac bei mir nicht ?
Why doesn't Shellac work for me?
There are 2 main reasons why the paint doesn't stick to your skin: 1. Incorrect nail preparation - in 99% of cases this leads to chipping in the cuticle area and on the sides. 2. If the Shellac is peeling off at the tips, it is because you have not strengthened your nails enough to withstand the stress they are subjected to. If your nails are healthy, not thin and not over-filed, and you or your professional has coated them with gel polish, they will probably hold up well. If the nails are damaged or thin, they will probably need to be reinforced with a stronger material. The easiest way to improve durability without having any extra skills, when working with materials from our shop, is to file the length of the nails after application, not before. What is Shellac? Shellac, also known as gel polish, is a special product used in UV manicure. It is a hybrid polish that combines the best features of gel and nail polish. This type of nail polish offers a resistant, shiny and long-lasting manicure that can last for weeks without chipping or fading. UV Shellac manicure offers an excellent way to have well-groomed and long-lasting nails. The combination of durability, shine and color intensity makes Shellac by Alosa Nails a popular choice in nail salons worldwide. However, it is important to have the Shellac removed professionally in order not to damage the natural nails. In any case: the durability of nail polish depends 90% on the work of the professional. We would be happy to advise you and help you to make your nails last. Just write to us!

Wie lange hält Shellac wirklich?
How long does Shellac really last?
The durability of the nail polish depends 90% on the work of the professional. If you have healthy, unfiled nails, the SHellas will hold very well with proper preparation if the professional does everything right. However, if your nails are too thin or have already been damaged by previous visits to the nail salon, you may need reinforcement with a stronger material such as acrylic or gel. Shellac can last for weeks under optimal conditions, but should be refreshed every 2-4 weeks, otherwise the nail architecture will be disturbed and the nail may break.

Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Shellac und Gelnägel?
What is the difference between Shellac and gel nails?
The difference is NOT that the gel is thicker. The thickness of the modeling does not depend on the material, but solely on the work of the professional. It is possible to make thick nails with Shellac, as well as thin ones with gel. Here are the main distinguishing criteria 1.Shellac(UV varnish) is usually removed by peeling with Rwmouver, while gel is mainly removed by filing. 2.Gel is always harder than Shellac, so it is suitable for strengthening nails of any length, whereas Shellac is ideally best suited only to short nails or those that extend slightly beyond the fingertip. 3. You have to work a little differently with gel than with gel polish because it is harder. With gel polish you can simply paint and build up the nails without doing anything extra, but when working with gel you should ideally apply the gel to the nail and file the nail from the inside, as some gels can otherwise flake off the natural nail. The "The Color to build" is suitable for those who do not want to do this or do not know how, as it allows you to work on many nails without filing. However, the gel is hard.

Unterschied zwischen Shellac und UV-Lack
Difference between Shellac and UV varnish
What is the difference between Shellac and UV varnish Shellac and UV varnish are two different types of nail polish. Shellac is a special type of nail polish that is a mixture of gel and nail polish. It is applied to the nail and then cured with UV light to create a durable and glossy finish. Shellac usually lasts longer than regular nail polish and can last up to two weeks without chipping or flaking. UV polish is another type of nail polish that is also cured using UV light. However, UV polish is thicker and more durable than regular nail polish and can last longer. UV polish is also available in a wider range of colors than Shellac. Another difference between Shellac and UV varnish is the way they are removed. Shellac can be removed with acetone, while UV varnish usually needs to be removed with a special solvent that contains acetone and other chemical compounds. Overall, Shellac and UV polish are both more durable and long-lasting alternatives to traditional nail polish. Which type of nail polish you choose depends on your personal preferences and needs. Which holds better, UV varnish or shellac? Both UV varnish and Shellac offer excellent durability and resistance to scuffs and scratches, but deciding which product is better depends on individual needs and preferences. UV polish is nail polish that is cured under a UV lamp, resulting in a harder and more durable finish than traditional nail polish. UV polish is typically thicker than traditional nail polish and lasts longer because it is less prone to chipping and wear. UV polish comes in a variety of colors and sheen levels and is easy to apply. Shellac is a hybrid product made from a combination of gel and traditional nail polish. It is cured under a UV lamp and offers high durability and shine. Shellac is usually thinner than UV polish and offers a thinner, more flexible finish. It is also easier to remove than UV polish. Ultimately, the choice between UV polish and Shellac depends on what type of nail look you prefer and your durability and removal needs. If you prefer a thicker, more durable nail polish and are willing to invest a little more time in application, UV polish may be a good choice. However, if you prefer a thinner, more flexible finish and want easier removal, Shellac may be a better choice. You can buy both products online in our Alisa Nails Shop.
