How to choose the right biogel, what to look for
There are a huge variety of biogels on the market from different manufacturers and price segments. In order not to get confused in all this diversity, remember the main features of quality products:
Biogel is a composition based on natural ingredients such as tree resin, calcium, vitamins A and E, and protein. Therefore, pay attention to the composition, it should contain the above listed components, but there should not be a hard gel. It is able to thin the structure of the nail, while natural components strengthen and saturate the nail plate with useful substances without disturbing the water and air balance.
Many manufacturers claim that a natural composition is impossible in the production of biogel, and its difference from gel polish lies only in the proportions of the components. In this case, pay attention that the composition does not contain formaldehyde and other toxic substances. The inscriptions 7free, 5free or at least 3free guarantee the absence of such components in the biogel.
Carefully study the manufacturer's recommendations. Many of them recommend applying a primer before the biogel - a liquid designed to degrease and dry the nail plate. This substance negatively affects the condition of nails, so it is better not to use such biogels.
Please take a look at other products from the same manufacturer. Its product line must include a solvent that will be most effective for the selected biogel.
It is better not to save on biogel - cheap representatives of this product often contain low-quality components. However, you should not focus entirely on the price; always carefully study the composition.

Marina: I didn’t really like the biogel, so I went back to regular nail extensions. As for me, although the nails looked better while wearing the coating, after removing it their condition was far from being the best.
Karina: I had a biogel coating done at the salon, I didn’t pay attention to which one. I liked the effect - it looks natural, and the nails really become stronger and healthier.
Yana: I have a whole collection of polishes from El Corazon! They are amazing, the colors are incredible, they apply well and last a long time! I recommend to everyone!

- Tix tree resin strengthens the nail plate and prevents it from cracking. Thanks to the resin, the extended claws are very durable.
- Easy to apply/remove.
- Great for home do-it-yourself use.
- Has a natural natural look.
- This material allows the native nail to “breathe ,” which prevents subsequent brittleness, yellowing, and delamination.

- The material allows you to turn any most daring type of manicure into reality , which does not fade over time.

Possible disadvantages include the following factors:
- The biogel itself is absolutely harmless , but the same cannot be said about the means that need to be used to periodically remove it.
- The gel cannot claim to be 100% waterproof. If the contact of artificial nails with water is very long, then they begin to behave like natural ones. True, this problem can be easily eliminated by using rubber gloves for work.
- Do not remove varnish with a product containing acetone.
- The material has low resistance to solvents. You need to wear rubber gloves before coming into contact with acetone, methyl alcohol, or alkali cleaning household products.
- Depending on the level of personal income, the material cannot be called cheap.
Here are the main pros and cons of biogel.

What is soft gel used for?
The main purpose of biogel is to hide cosmetic imperfections of natural nails and make them more resistant to external influences.
The composition includes useful components: vitamins A, E and calcium, which gives the period of wearing the coating a therapeutic meaning. Biogel can be used in different ways:
- for nail modeling;
- as a strengthening agent for brittle, short and weakened nails, applied in a thin layer over the nail plate;
- for restoring natural nails after removing extensions (with acrylic or gel).
The material does not limit design, which allows you to implement the most daring and interesting ideas within the framework of manicure. After covering the nails, their owner does not have to worry about the condition of her hands for almost a month, after which she needs to visit a specialist to correct the overgrown area. The gel coating, due to the included resins, is quite elastic, and therefore does not lose its appearance and does not crack.
