Is nail sealing a popular salon procedure or an operation included in decorative coating technology? In short, it's both. The meaning of sealing is to prevent contact with external influences. This is how the natural nail is protected from the penetration of household solvents, detergents and other aggressive substances into its structure.
The Japanese manicure procedure is widely known, in which a wax composition is applied to the nails. Polishing achieves saturation of the nails with wax and the formation of a protective film. The procedure belongs to SPA care and is not cheap.
What is nail sealing
The term "sealing" is often heard in the nail salon. This is the name of the coating with a waterproof composition of the ends of the nails. It can be done with regular nail polish, biogel, gel polish. When building up, the ends are sealed with a material that builds an extension of the free edge - gel or acrylic.
But even before the era of acrylates, salons used to seal nails with wax. It was noticedthat polishing nails with wax significantly improves their appearance and promotes rapid growth.
Japanese manicure
Several sessions of spa treatment - and marigolds are unrecognizable. The materials that are used are exclusively of natural origin. The composition of the paste includes beeswax, keratin, minerals. The result is visible after the first session: the nails look he althy and shiny. The effect is calculated for three weeks. A Japanese manicure set can be purchased from a professional beauty store.
For some time the nails are not covered with varnish - wax prevents its adhesion to the nail.

- natural cosmetic oil - 80 ml;
- natural beeswax - 25g

With varnish
Sealing nails with varnish is a very important operation that will prevent chipping of the coating and protect the nails from drying out. If the ends of the nails are printed, you should urgently cover them with a colorless varnish. Then nothing will threaten them. Not all girls know how important it is to paint over the end of the nail when applying regular nail polish. Although it seems to be of insignificant thickness, it still exists. Through the uncovered part of the nail, dyes are absorbed into it when washing dishes, detergents in the shower, aggressive solvents during washing and cleaning.
This causes a strong washout of natural nail effusion, the same protective film that creates a natural shine on the nails. As a result, the tips of the nails lose their keratin bonds, become brittle and brittle. No one would think to wash their hair with washing powder? They will become brittle. So are the nails.
Nail sealing is the basis of a good manicure and a pledgetheir he alth.
