General information: gel polish
Shellac (gel polish) Irisk has all the same impeccable properties characteristic of high-quality coatings from other companies. When applied correctly, it lasts on the nails for about 3 – 4 weeks. Usually, you have to remove it only because your own nails grow and a noticeable unpainted area forms near the cuticle.
If the application technology has been followed completely, then such varnish does not cause detachments and does not come off the nail throughout the entire period of wear. In addition, the coating itself is resistant to external damage and does not rub off, does not fade, and remains glossy and shiny throughout the entire period. It does not chip or crack and is almost impossible to scratch.
With its help, you can even mechanically strengthen your own nails. If your nails are thin and brittle, but the branches are long enough, simply cover them with Toffee gel. Due to its own thick and strong layer, it will significantly reduce the likelihood of breaking and cracking of the natural nail.
Such varnish must be dried under a UV lamp with a power of at least 36 Watts. Like any shellac or gel, it contains polymers that harden only under the influence of ultraviolet rays of a certain intensity. Drying under LED lamps of sufficient power can also be quite effective.
Like any other gel, Irisk gel polish is quite difficult to remove from nails. In order to remove it, you need to purchase a special product and use it in the form of a compress. However, you can also use simple nail polish remover. But this can cause significant damage to your nails.
The gel itself does not have a very beneficial effect on the nail. Under it, they are deprived of oxygen, which can slow down growth and cause deformation. In addition, they stop producing a protective layer and become dehydrated. Thus, if you have weakened and brittle nails, you should avoid this procedure. Although one-time use will not have a strong negative effect.
Applying gel polish
Toffee shellac is applied to nails just like any other gel polish. Application includes several stages, the first of which requires performing a high-quality manicure and thoroughly sanding the nail plate:
- Degrease the plates and wait for the composition to dry;
- Apply primer and also wait until dry;
- Apply a thin layer of protective transparent base and dry for 1 minute under a lamp;
- Apply a layer of colored varnish. Some Toffee shades are quite dense and do not require a second coat, but there are also those that need to be applied in two or three layers to achieve the desired saturation. Dry each layer in a lamp for a minute;
- Apply and dry top sealer.
After each drying in the lamp, check for the presence of a sticky dispersion layer on the surface of the nails. If it has formed, remove it with a lint-free cloth soaked in degreaser.

Reviews
Irisk gels and shellacs have a variety of reviews, radically different from each other. Some criticize this gel, calling it unstable. Users also complain that it doesn’t apply well, gives uneven coverage and takes a long time to dry, while wrinkled. Some say that the gel quickly loses its appearance during wear.
There are also unequivocally positive reviews reporting that the gels fully comply with the stated characteristics. In many ways, such different reviews can be explained by the fact that there are fakes of this company on the market, and also by the fact that not all users are sufficiently familiar with the technology of applying the gel and follow it.
