Gel extensions of nails

Gel extension is an alternative to time and effort requiring nail care with vitamins and fortifying agents. Those who decided to do the manicure for the first time in this way, want to know if the procedure is harmless to the health of the nails.

It should immediately dispel doubts: the gel is harmless to the nails, the very procedure of solidifying the material under ultraviolet rays also can not harm the person. There are, however, artificial nails one significant drawback of a different nature: gel nails are quite fragile, so they require a very reverent attitude towards themselves. Even temperature changes can lead to the appearance of microcracks.

At present, there are three systems, according to which nail gel is being increased: one-, two- and three-phase. The first system is based on the fact that one component performs the functions of the coating material, the means for bonding and modeling, as well as the component providing strength. The second - includes two components, one of which is necessary for adhesion to the surface of the nails, and the second provides their strength. The three components of the last system are responsible for their function: grip, modeling and nail polish.

Gel extensions are made using molds or tips. Gel today is the most popular among all used for the behavior of the procedure of materials. Sometimes the buildup is called porcelain or glass.

Before performing the procedure, you should wash your hands and treat them with a spray disinfectant. Remove excess moisture with a lint-free cloth. Then use a manicure scissors to cut off the free edge of the nail. Apply a softener to the cuticle and push it back with an orange stick.

The free edge of the nail to be processed with a nail file. Then remove the top layer from the surface of the nail file with a semi-circular shape, clean it until a milky-matte shade is obtained.

Gel extensions require that the surface of natural nails be fully prepared for application of the material. To do this, dust is removed from it, degreasing is carried out with a nail polish remover.

Individually for each nail are selected according to the size and shape of the tips. In width, they must exactly match natural nails. The shape of the free edge should repeat the line of the internal notch on the tip.

On the inside of the tips you need to apply glue neatly, apply it at a slight angle to the tip of the nail, and then slowly lower it and press it firmly against the natural nail. After 10 seconds, remove the excess glue with a tissue. Then the nail is given the necessary shape with a nail file.

Only after this can be carried out directly gel build-up. On the surface of the nail a modeling gel is applied with a thin layer using a brush. The agent should lie flat on the plate evenly along the center and sides to form a natural oval. To evenly distribute the gel, the hand must be turned for a few seconds. Dry nails are required under the UV lamp for 3 minutes.

When the first layer hardens, it is necessary to apply a second one similarly. To distribute the gel, first turn your hands over, and for drying in the lamp, increase the time by one minute.

Complete the procedure by removing the adhesive layer from the nails using a special liquid. Treat the surface of the nail with a nail file, grind them to a perfectly even condition and cover the finish gel to give them a mirror finish. After this, the nails can be covered with a colorless varnish or a base for varnish.

Correction of nails with gel is required when they grow slightly. Update the synthetic coating is necessary with a certain periodicity, which is determined by the speed of growth of nails, their condition and peculiarities of care.
