Gel polish has become an essential product for creating a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing manicure. However, not all gel polishes are created equal, and choosing the right product can be a challenging task. In this article, we will review the key aspects to consider when purchasing gel polish, ensuring that your manicure looks flawless while keeping your nails beautiful and healthy. 

The first thing to pay attention to is the manufacturer. A well-known brand like Global Fashion has established itself in the market due to the quality and safety of its products. Check customer reviews and professional opinions. 

Tip: Avoid purchasing gel polish from unknown brands with no established reputation, even if they are cheaper. This could lead to damaged nails or allergic reactions. 

The chemical composition of gel polish is a key factor. Avoid products containing harmful substances like formaldehyde, toluene, and dibutyl phthalate (DBP). Modern brands offer "7-free," "10-free," and even "12-free" formulas, meaning they are free from toxic components. 

Benefits of safe ingredients:

- Minimal risk of allergies and irritation.
- Safe for the nail plate.

Pay attention to the smell of the gel polish—this is an important aspect that should not be ignored. Some polishes have a strong, harsh scent that can cause dizziness or nausea. Moreover, some formulations may be harmful to the health of both the technician and the client. 

High-quality gel polish should be sufficiently pigmented to provide a vibrant color with just one or two coats. Dense gel polishes reduce application time and save product. 

To test pigmentation: Apply the gel polish on a tip or a white sheet of paper. If the color is even, it's a good sign. 

The great thing about gel polish is that it can last from 2 to 4 weeks. Before purchasing, check the product description or reviews to find out how long the gel polish lasts without chipping or losing its shine. 

Quality gel polish has a medium consistency: not too thick and not too runny. Gel polishes with the right texture are applied evenly and do not spill over the sides. 

Note: If the gel polish is too thick, it will be difficult to apply, and if it’s too thin, it may run. 

Look for products that can be easily removed with a special remover or soaking. Gel polishes that require aggressive filing can damage the nail plate. 

Your choice of shade depends on your preferences and the occasion. Some brands offer up to 200 shades, including trendy options such as chrome, matte effects, and glitter.

Tip: Nude, pink, and red tones are considered universal, while holographic and bright shades are perfect for creative manicures. 

Drying time depends on the gel polish formula and the type of lamp. Modern gel polishes usually cure in 30-60 seconds in an LED lamp. 

The price of gel polish should match its quality. Very cheap gel polishes often fail to meet expectations, while premium products, though more expensive, offer better features. 

Tip: Find the balance between price and quality based on your needs. 

For home use, an 8-10 ml bottle is suitable, as it prevents the gel polish from drying out before it is fully used. Salons typically use larger bottles (15-20 ml). 

Some gel polishes have added benefits, such as:

- Sunscreen filters to prevent color fading.
- Formulas suitable for weak and thin nails. 

Choosing the right gel polish is not just about aesthetics but also about caring for the health of your nails. Consider the ingredients, quality, durability, and ease of application to ensure your manicure lasts beautifully. Remember, the right gel polish will help you create a stylish and safe manicure that highlights your individuality. 

Black Elite gel polishes feature a dense texture that prevents the product from flooding the cuticle area and the edges of the nail plate. This makes the application process easy and convenient, even for beginners.

A manicure using Black Elite gel polishes lasts from 3 to 4 weeks, depending on the base used. Using a rubber base can significantly extend the wear time.

The Black Elite palette includes more than 300 shades, with options to suit all tastes. The collection features gel polishes with various effects.
