Many women dream of long and beautiful marigolds, however, not every girl can grow quickly. That is why nail extensions come to the aid, which at any time can be performed in salon or home.
Necessary equipment
In order to build nails, a set of tools and consumables for all necessary works are required. One of the most important accessories for this procedure is a UV lamp. To buy this device, approach with special care, since the speed and quality of the polymerization of nail and comfort and comfort depends on its power and efficiency during procedures. The lamp can be used when working with shellac and acrylic, in addition, it is often used to dry gel coating.
If you just make the first steps in the manicure, you can purchase the most primitive unit without any additional options, although the power of the device should be high: at least 24 W, and the best - 36 W. Such a device will become the most impressive article of expenses, however, the work of that, without any doubt, is worth it, because without a lamp to make high-quality buildup is quite difficult.
But if you plan to make money on the manicure, then you should look at models, complemented by blowing functions, touch monitor, as well as a timer and other "excesses". They make the procedure for using this lamp comfortable, however, it is worth such equipment expensive, so if the lamp is needed for you only for personal needs, you can hardly have such an attachment.
We will mention in advance that to substitute the nails under ultraviolet, covered with the most ordinary decorative varnish, does not make any sense, since the UV lamp does not dry, but only polymerizes. It does not affect the coverage of high temperatures - that is, you do not reduce the drying time, but get clouding color risks.
In addition to the lamp, many other tools are needed, the following items include the following items:
- set of saws;
- Bafa;
- Tassels with rigid villi for stylish modeling;
- Pusher.
The list of materials looks like this:
- Basic gel colorless;
- Special modeling composition;
- Fastening coating.
In addition, you will need a primer, as well as a dehydrator and bonder. Most of small-extreme masters believe that this is the same, however, this is not so. The primer is necessary for degreasing, removing the most tiny particles of dirt and preparing the surface of the nail to the clutch due to a small lifting of the scales. The dehydrator removes the excess moisture, improving the tensile strength, and the bonder is an effective fastening component, due to which the gel is well inserted onto the nail and is strengthened on it, due to which the increasing elements do not fly from the first mechanical effect.
Well, of course, no extension is without manicure glue. Let us dwell on the most important materials and features of their choice.
- Pilots for manicure - It is used to give a nail to the desired form, and, in addition to the grinding of the entire surface and sealing the tip of the plate. In previous years, metallic devices often used - today this technique is recognized as ineffective, because it leads to the bundle of nail plates. Experts recommend using products made of ceramics or glass. For a good manicure, it is desirable to take several saws with a different level of abrasiveness, which is calculated in the glitters - the lower this value, the rougher coating of the peel.
To work with artificial coatings, pinks with 80/120 grit parameters are used, and their own natural is written to the tool with an indicator of 240 grit and more. As for the appearance, it is desirable to use elongated saws to give the desired shape to the free edge, for the grinding of the noggle near the cuticle, it is worth a preference to the products in the form of a boomeranga, and a rectangular sawing is suitable for polishing the surface.
If you intend to make a manicure regularly, it makes sense to immediately purchase a large number of pylons of different roughness, as they soon come to unsuitability and need to be constantly changed.
Separately, you should buy a pink-bug, which is used to polish natural nails, such a treatment is necessarily carried out before extension, so the tool refers to the category of necessary. BAU - a piece of four-sided foam rubber, and each surface has its own degree of abrasiveness. Such a consumility is effective both for contact with natural margins and with artificial.
- Pusher or Shaber We are needed in order to move the flawed cuticle and prepare a nail to the coating gel. For an effective manicure, it is best to take a metallic device with an ergonomic corrugated handle. Usually one tip of the flush is made in the form of a shoulder blade, and the second resembles the sharp arrow tip. If you bought Shabra, then here one of the planes is performed in the form of a hopor.
- Nippers either Kusachachi - These working instruments are required to cut the cuticle and get rid of painful burrs, as well as corners of discovering nail plates. This tool usually has a well-honed surface and is considered much more efficient than manicure scissors with rounded tips or trimmer.
- To extend and decorate the marigolds you need to purchase A set of tassels : Several must have a direct synthetic pile, others - to be thinner, and also need a brush with a narrow tip.
- In extension, many masters use Tips In this case, it is necessary to purchase typezipes, with which you can simulate the edge of the free edge.
- After adjustment and grinding Polymerized Shellac quite often appears dust, it must be removed from the nail surface - this is done with a manicure bruster with a special synthetic pile.
All of the above tools are required when increasing in any technique, regardless of what exactly you are working with - with tips, gel or acrylic. And now we will stop more in the specialized consumables, which are required for each individual type of extension.
For extension gel
The gel is considered the easiest to use by a polymer, which is more suitable for inexperienced masters. It has a lot of advantages: does not emit harmful substances and does not have a chemical sharp smell, which is why the material consistently holds the palm of the championship among all other types of coverage. To work with gel you need to cook:
- Basic gel - beginners are best acquired a single-phase composition, which does not create any difficulties in use, but more experienced masters makes sense to dwell on two - or three-phase;
- Camouflage gel - usually use white, beige or pink;
- Finish coating - it is necessary to impart brilliance and even the nail plates;
- consilet for degreasing sticky layer;
- Shellac removal fluid.
In addition to the above materials, you will use a special moisturizing cream for the cuticle: it softens the damaged layers of the epidermis and prevents the appearance of sizards. You will also use wool discs, napkins without a pile, paints on the basis of acrylic to overlay the decor on the nail, and also shine, glitter, rhinestones and other interesting little things.
When using acryla
When using acrylic, another set of consumables will be required:
- Monomer - special acrylic liquid;
- Acrylic powder - composition of transparent, pink or peach color;
- Means for dissolving acrylic, which will be required when the work requires a small adjustment.
In addition, you will certainly need a packaging where you will connect acrylic fluid with powder and climb clips.
On the form
The extension of nails using the form is considered to be more complicated than the manicure using the TIP. Nevertheless, when using the materials of the highest quality and the availability of professional skills, it is not so difficult to get a good result. For such buildings, special forms are needed primarily. They are single and reusable: the first are made of paper and have a relatively low cost, and the second produce from teflon on a wire frame.
In mandatory need to be equipped with manicure napkins: they are thin cuts of matter without porcers, which are well removed the sticky layer and remove the remains of decorative varnish.
Features of the procedure and possible problems
Now that you have acquired all the tools and consumables you need, you can proceed directly to the extension of the nails. The easiest way to use equipment based on gel composition, in this case you can easily eliminate all visual nail defects. The extensive surfaces have a lot of advantages: they do not resolve, do not crack and do not break. Artificial coatings are distinguished extremely high strength, so they extremely rarely rarely appear chips.
The use of artificial nail plates gives nails the required smoothness and allows you to successfully confront such serious problems as relief and uneven coating. It should be noted that the technique of nail extension was still engaged in ancient Chinese, a little later, the technique was improved and spread through European countries. For a long time, acrylic was used for such a procedure, but today the use of gel is considered to be more modern and efficient technology. Thanks to its high elasticity, the nogot is very strong, but at the same time thin. The flickering of the gel completely imitates the natural color and structure of nails, thanks to this, artificial coatings look very natural.
The use of gel compositions for nail extensions has a lot of advantages:
- The whole procedure lasts no more than 2 hours;
- The coating at the exit is obtained very durable and strong;
- Due to the high elasticity of the drug nails, there are quite a long time socks;
- Correction of gel nails occupies about half an hour;
- prices for such buildings are much more democratic than the cost of similar works with other compositions;
- When applying the gel, the nail plate is not destroyed, moreover, the nails become stronger, which allows you to quickly grow them without the danger of fragility and separation;
- When applying the gel, all cracks and ugly reliefs on the nail surface are filled with preparations;
- The means on the gel basis give nails a pleasant shine;
- nails from gel are very easily removed;
- The material is able to skip oxygen, so the native nail plate does not dry;
- The use of gel effectively protects the nails from the dangerous effects of ultraviolet, as well as household chemicals and different types of mechanical damage;
- The gel is a hypoallergenic material, its structure includes resin needles, which has pronounced fungicidal properties and contributes to the prevention of fungal diseases;
- Well, of course, on the gel you can easily draw a wide variety of decors and drawings of varying degrees of complexity.
However, it did not cost without minuses. So, during the polymerization under the UV lamp, there is sometimes a painful feeling of burning, and if the nail breaks down, its repair is not possible, it will be necessary to complete the coating. Only a master can remove the gel nails, do it yourself without damaging the native plates, it is quite difficult, because for this you need to cut them, and with small experience in this case, it may be harmful to its nails.
Also, with sharp fluctuations in temperatures, gel coatings can be deformed. However, all these shortcomings with interest are compensated by experience and professional masters and compliance with marginal care rules. Step-by-step nail extensions are carried out as follows.
- The discriminated edge of the nail plate is adjusted to the sawing so that the length of about 2 mm remains.
- Keratin layer is carefully processed by the bough until complete removal.
- Further, degreasing is carried out and primer is applied.
- The gel material is superimposed by a thin layer, and then polymerized in UV lamp.
- A pattern is installed on the coating, it is very important to wear it correctly; On the border of the noggle and the shape, a thin gel substrate is performed, then it is processed in the lamp, and the sticky layer is removed.
It is very important to distribute the drug over the surface of the nail in such a way that its main part comes from the middle, and at the edges the coating remained thin.
- After drying the sawmaker, the smile line is drawn up and the base is applied.
- Templates must be removed and apply cosmetics.
If the nails increase using TIP, then the technology looks a little differently: the feature here is that the typuses are not removed upon completion of the procedure, they must be glued to the nail plate. This technology is considered universal, the Tips are often used even on damaged marigolds, but it is quite difficult to work with them, because artificial nails must be perfectly coincided with real-sized, otherwise the coating will be cling to everything. Yes, and the appearance will become untidy and inestretical.
When building nails at home, you need to follow several basic recommendations:
- The top layer of the nail plate is spilled with the bough until the nail does not get a matte shade;
- In the course of work, it is necessary to constantly inspect the nails at different angles in order not to leave unnoticed and unprocessed even the smallest transitions and steps;
- After the entire keratin layer is spilled, formed at the same time, the nail dust is cleaned with a brush, otherwise the coating will be inaccurative;
- The time of frozen drugs in the lamp varies depending on the chemical composition and manufacturer, so before the work will certainly learn the instructions for them.
Tips for choosing
Unfortunately, women are infrequently boasting strong and healthy marigolds. Professional etiquette, a huge number of domestic duties and the need to care for children becomes an obstacle to the growing of nail planets, so buildup becomes a real salvation for them. Modern technologies allow the ladies to choose the type of increment, which will be optimal in each particular case.
The cheapest option is false nails To cope with such a technique, even an amateur master without any special skills can. However, this option is unreliable and nonesthetically, such nails are sold by large sets and include plates of different shapes, widths and lengths, but even a large selection does not always allow you to choose your nails that will be perfectly fit the dimensions of the nail plate. As a result, they look very artificially.
For building extension, manicure glue is also required.
Another form of finished nails is typuses. They differ from the overheads that are the basis for further modeling and are attached not to the entire plate of the nail, but only to its edge. Tips are made from more reliable material and are characterized by the desired flexibility. Nails with tips look more naturally than false. Modeling is considered the most modern method of extension, it is made using such materials as a gel, acrylic or biogel. Smalled marigolds look solely naturally, while the coating is more durable and firmly.
Nails can be increasing using acrylic compositions, this material is characterized by a fortress, and in addition, it has a relatively democratic value. For acrylic, elasticity is inconspicuous, so the correction has to do quite often. In addition, acrylic smells unpleasantly and this smell accompanies you not only at the time of extension, but also within a few days after it.
Gel preparations are more secure, they are plastic acrylic , Therefore, gel marigolds have a longer socks. There is such an extension, of course, more expensive, but also the adjustment will have to do much less often. The most modern variant of modeling is the technique based on biogel - a substance that combines both acrylic and gel, so that the nails are turned strong and beautiful. The combination of these materials makes the marigold is much stronger and at the same time elastic, this procedure will cost quite expensive, but the result, without any doubt, is worth it.
