UV Color gel

Tips & Tricks for setting UV-Colorgel nails

UV-colored gels have been on the market since about 2005. The technique stems from the well-known techniques with UV polymer gels used to build nails in nail styling and orthesiology. In recent years there has been competition between different suppliers based on exclusivity, quality, service and of course price. We receive samples very regularly for testing and a few of our colleagues at IMGRO have really developed a method of testing these samples somewhat systematically and comparing them.We see great differences in curing, color fastness, durability of the color coat applied but also in the degree of degradation of the natural nails. In general we can say that"too cheap" colorants not only chip off earlier but also leave the natural nail more damaged. You can see this after wiping off the color gel.

It is important to discuss the quality of the packaging here. We have run several "cheaper" brands out of our range in recent years due to the fact that the colorgels appeared to harden prematurely in the bottle. We can actually only register that if those colorgels have been in our store or warehouse for a while or after sales. At all times we want to prevent you from buying this kind of "bad" product from us, or at all....... Some suppliers then exchange stock but usually we then let the product run out as a clearance sale or stop selling acutely.
