Since the cover of the expanded nails prevents the effects of household chemicals, ultraviolet, mechanical damage, so artificial nails can serve as a protection for natural nails for a long time. It was noticed that the regular wearing of the nail extensions improves the condition of natural nails, their surface is leveled, and the nails acquire an elegant form.
In addition to the advantages, this procedure has a number of contraindications.
First, the buildup is contraindicated to those who have nails injured by a fungus. Only after the nail plates are completely cured, it is possible to carry out the procedure of nail extensions.
Secondly, the buildup is contraindicated in the case of mechanical damage to the nails and cuticles. Therefore, for 2-3 days, a manicure procedure for cutting the cuticle or choose an unedged manicure.
Third, the diseases of the excretory, endocrine, digestive systems, the passage of chemotherapy, the use of antibiotics, all this can lead to the fact that the nails are not "held". Therefore, before the procedure, inform the master about the existing medical problem, if any. This is necessary in order to decide on the appropriateness of this procedure, as well as to select the material. If after a few days the narcotic nails break off, then this may be an indication that you have any hidden disease or build-up was not done correctly.
Fourthly, during pregnancy, it is not recommended to build up, so in this period sensitivity increases. And also, if after the first buildup you have an allergy to methacrylates, you should not increase nails again.
Which material to choose: gel or acrylic? Materials that are used to build nails (acrylic and gel) have some nuances, so they are used for different occasions.
Acrylic is a very strong material. The nails with acrylic can be worn for about 3-4 months. They practically do not differ from natural nails. Acrylic is mainly recommended for those who lead an active lifestyle and have healthy strong nails. Acrylic is used to build nails on the legs, one procedure is enough for the summer season. But aside from the advantages, acrylic has drawbacks. Acrylic has a strong smell, which is felt until artificial nails harden, and when using varnish-removing liquids containing acetone, this material loses its shine.
Gel is a softer material that is recommended for those who have flexible, thin nails. Artificial nails using a gel look very natural. Shine with time is not washed off. But the procedure with the use of a gel is more complicated, because in order to dry it, you need a special UV lamp. In addition, helium nails are not easy to remove, sometimes only a master can do it.
Do not recommend before the procedure of building up to put on your hands and nails cream or nourishing oil. Since the oil components are absorbed for a long time, therefore, due to the oil film, the accrued nails will quickly begin to peel off.
Begin the build-up by removing the surface layer, for this use a fine-grained file. Then the nail plates are treated with an antiseptic.
To build up use either tipsy, that is, artificial tips, or molds.
When nails are enlarged with the help of tips, for each nail pick up tipsy, which are pre-prepared, and then glued to the surface of the nail plates. Almost immediately, you can use the material to build, as this glue will dry in a few seconds. If the master builds with the help of molds, then he fixes them on the edges of the nails, and then pours the material to build. Choosing the length of nails, it is best for the first build to choose a small length. If after you "try" artificial nails, everything will be fine, then you can decide on the bolder length and shape of the nails.
Natural nails, in contrast to artificial nails, constantly change shape, length, supply of nutrients. Therefore, every 2-3 weeks, it will be necessary to carry out correction of artificial nails. The master during the correction filings the artificial plate, gives it a new shape and length. If you neglect the correction, you can even with a slight mechanical effect to lose the artificial nail.
Kind of artificial nails look healthy and strong, but they need to be treated with care, do not subject them to heavy loads. The detachment and damage to the artificial nail will expose the live unprotected plate. Increased nails are filed with a fine-grained non-metallic file, they can not be sheared. Since methacrylates (gel and acrylic) are highly flammable substances, so keep away from the source of fire.
If the procedure of nail extension is done correctly, then artificial nails protect the natural and give them a more beautiful appearance, so the nails can be worn constantly.
Removal, like the build-up of artificial nails, the procedure is laborious, so be careful if you decide to remove the artificial plate. There is an opinion that natural nails after the procedure of building up become brittle and soft. In fact, the quality of the removal of artificial plates depends on the health of natural nails.
Acrylic nails can be removed if you remove the free edges and put your fingers in the liquid that dissolves acrylic. Nails, exfoliated gel, you need to cut. To remove helium nails should a master who has special files and hardware attachments. Independent attempts to remove artificial nails can lead to damage to natural nails, to the thinning of the plates. In the salon, natural plates, after removal of artificial nails, are treated with a restoring agent. In the future, the nails must be intensively nourished and moistened. To do this, you need to use creams for nails and oils, softening cuticles.
