Technique of nail extensions

Nail extensions are performed using various techniques. Gel, acrylic, false nails , etc. are used for the procedure. The latter option is the simplest and cheapest, but often the look of the nails turns unnatural. The most popular materials are currently a special gel and acrylic mass. As a result, you get strong, flexible, elastic and elastic nails.

Technique of extensions with false nails

Made of nylon or plastic, they are sold in many stores and have different shapes, lengths and colors. Natural nails pre-degrease and apply a varnish-base, glue on it. Then attach the nail itself and undermine it, correcting the shape. Artificial tips (tips) can also be used. At the same time, the free edge of the nail is slightly cleaned, and the tip is grinded under its shape. Then fixation with glue takes place. The seam is polished and the glue is applied again.

Technique of nail acrylic

It can be done by using a special shape, put under the nail plate, thus increasing the size of the present nail. Then, from above, to make the transition not noticeable, a second layer of acrylic mass is applied. The composition quickly freezes. Using special powders, added to acrylic, it is given a natural color. Acrylic is easily removed with a special solvent. The disadvantage is that it has a specific odor that will eventually erode. It is also possible to use, instead of the form, tips - blanks in the form of nails. Usually they are made of materials that are used for the most growth. Are applied basically in a case when the nail does not have a free edge.

Technique of nail extensions with gel

First of all, the preparation of nails. The hands are disinfected, the cuticle is removed uncutly. The surface of the nail is polished and, thus, the upper fat film is removed. This is necessary for better adhesion of the nail plate and material. A special primer is applied to the nail to remove excess fluid. Then a plate is created, which will serve as the basis for manicure. It is attached to the nail, then it is applied to the gel, which smooths the surface, gives a glossy sheen.

This technique of nail extensions for fixing the material involves the use of an ultraviolet lamp, the effect of which also prevents the development of fungal diseases. After the gel hardens, it is polished, it is varnished, painted with marigolds, and then they are decorated with various decorative elements. Technique of nail extensions on forms has its advantages, as they are easily removed. Also tips can be used that are glued to the nail plates, and then covered with gel to build up. By duration, the procedure takes up to 3 hours.

The technique of nail extensions with gel is common because it does not require high costs, and the service life is about 4 months. It is only necessary to undergo the correction procedure every 2 or 3 weeks. The gel allows the nail to "breathe", since it does not cover the pores of the nail plate and therefore does not cause harm.

Technique of nail extensions prescribes some rules. In particular, it is not recommended to perform this procedure when passing the course of antibiotics, with fungal nail lesions, with chemotherapy. There should be no damaged cuticle. An edging manicure should be done two or three days before the procedure.

After building on the nails, you need to take care and avoid shocks. It is desirable to have a special glue in order to apply it on the formed cracks in time.
