Naturally long nails with the correct shape of the bed are, unfortunately, not given to everyone. Someone has a thin nail plate, someone is brittle, some young ladies simply cannot have the patience to grow nails of the desired length. They are helped by nail extension technologies. One of the most common is toenails.
Nail tips are an artificial nail base that is applied over the nail plate with a certain amount of free edge. When the German chemist deduced the material and shape of the tips, he thought about beauty least of all. Originally, tips were created as a nail substitute for those whose fingers were damaged in production. The disfigured phalanxes were supposed to be masked with artificial overlays. Cosmetology has borrowed and spread the invention over time, and now nails on tips are being extended all over the world with both gel and acrylic.
To build nails on tips with gel you will need:
- Ultraviolet lamp
- gel
- ultra white gel
- tips
- glue
- complete manicure set with brushes
Do an unedged manicure, slide the cuticle with a wooden stick, cut off the natural nail and sand the surface of the nail plate. Choose tips for the size of each nail. Typically, tips are sold in sets, where each tip has its own number. It is more convenient to take a couple of the selected number, but you still need to check and try on, because it is not uncommon for the nail, for example, of the index finger of the left hand, to be smaller than on the right.
Grind off the tip of the tip and glue it onto a third of the nail plate using special glue. The glue sets quickly, do not pour too much, otherwise it will fall under the nail, tearing off the skin is painful. Mark with a marker on the tip the desired length of each nail (a dot is enough) and remove the excess part with a cutter.
Cover your glued-on nails with the first coat of colorless gel. It is correct to start applying the gel with a brush from the nail plate towards the free edge of the nail. There is no need to leave gaps. Dry each gelled nail in a UV lamp. Specify the amount of time to dry in the instructions for the gel. Drying time varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, as a rule, by only a minute and a half, but non-observance of these seconds often leads to nail breakage or gel flaking.
Examine dried nails for bubbles, they should not be. Use a file to remove the excess gel layer. Keep the file parallel to the nail. Do not forget to process the ends.
If there is a strong burning sensation when drying in a lamp, you have chosen a low-quality gel. Remove your hand from the UV rays, cool your nails, and then continue drying the gel
Apply white gel to the free edge of the nail with a wide, flat brush. You don’t need to make a thick layer of white gel, but a translucent one will look sloppy. Dry each nail in the lamp again. If, in addition to the jacket, the design of nails is supposed, you will have to draw a drawing and dry the nails again.
Treat dry nails with an oxidizing agent and grind off excess gel with a fine file. Examine your nails carefully – now is the last opportunity to correct or mask irregularities and imperfections.
Apply a top coat of clear gel to your nails for a special glossy shine. Dry again in the lamp. The French on tips is ready, it remains to complete the manicure procedures, lubricate the nails with nourishing oil.
