Common Issues with Matte Topcoats for UV Gel Polish

Matte topcoats are essential for achieving a matte manicure finish, yet in practice, they often present a range of challenges. Uneven matte coverage, a lack of lasting haze‑free texture, whitening or fogging on the surface, graying of dark base colors, and easy scratching all directly compromise the look and longevity of the manicure.

Key Points for Applying Matte Top Coat to UV Gel Polish

Key Points for Applying Matte Top Coat to UV Gel Polish

A matte topcoat is a crucial step in achieving a matte manicure finish, and its application quality directly determines both the aesthetic appeal and longevity of the result. Compared with a standard glossy topcoat, a matte topcoat has stricter requirements for coating thickness and curing conditions. Applying it too thinly can lead to an uneven matte effect, while applying it too thickly may cause drips or an orange‑peel texture. Insufficient curing, on the other hand, can leave the surface tacky and result in an inconsistent matte finish. Any oversight at even the smallest detail during application can quickly become apparent in the final outcome.

In addition to being categorized by application method into no‑rinse and scrub‑off types, matte topcoats are also classified according to their performance characteristics as scratch‑resistant and high‑transparency. The scratch‑resistant matte topcoat addresses the common issue of matte finishes being prone to scratches, while the high‑transparency matte topcoat resolves the problem of dark nail colors appearing dull or grayish. Both variants are upgraded formulations developed to overcome the limitations of standard matte topcoats, enhancing the user experience by improving wear resistance and transparency, respectively.

Matte topcoats are essential for achieving a matte manicure finish, with two common types: no‑wipe matte topcoats and wipe‑off matte topcoats. These two varieties differ significantly in their cured surface texture and application method: the no‑wipe type delivers an immediate matte finish upon curing, requiring no buffing; the wipe‑off type leaves a tacky layer on the surface that must be wiped away with a cleanser to reveal the matte effect. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, making them suitable for different application scenarios and user preferences.

Granulation refers to the formation of tiny raised bumps on the cured surface of gel polish, which feel rough to the touch. This issue is primarily caused by external environmental contamination and internal product contamination.

This article will discuss strategies for preventing granulation as well as methods for addressing it once it occurs.
