Beautiful and well-groomed nails are an indicator of excellent taste and style. You can say as much as you like that minimalism is in fashion, many women of fashion still prefer to have nails longer than average sizes. But it is not always possible to become the owner of such beauty on your own. Our own nails often let us down: they grow slowly, sometimes exfoliate, and sometimes they break at the most inopportune moment. And here nail salons come to the rescue, allowing you to increase the length of nails in the blink of an eye, more precisely in one procedure.
Gel extensions are especially popular in modern cosmetology. There is no doubt about the advantages of this type. Let's take a look at them.
- One of the easiest and most common ways to give your nails a well-groomed look.
- Gel extensions can be used to mask uneven plate.
- This method is considered as sparing as possible. After all, the gel, due to the porous structure, allows air to pass through. This allows your nails to breathe.
- Besides, this extension does not interfere with the natural growth of yournails.
- The gel will help not only increase the length, but also improve the shape.
Today, two varieties of this procedure are used. The most popular is nail extension on tips. Sometimes masters make lengthening on the form, but we will focus on the first option.
What is nail extension on tips? First, let's deal with the terms. Tips are special plastic strips that are glued to your own nail. They appeared in the last century, so they cannot be called a trendy phenomenon. Translated from the language of stiff English, they mean "tips". Nail extension on tips allows you to make a manicure of any length and shape. In many ways, this is helped by the gel, which is then applied and makes the plate smooth and even.
It is better to leave your hands at the full disposal of professionals and entrust the creation of a manicure to them. However, you can ask the masters to give you nail extension lessons on tips. You should start an independent procedure only if you have at least basic skills. Despite the apparent simplicity, nail extension on tips has several pitfalls. First, you can damage the nail. Secondly, it is the gel that causes the greatest difficulties, since it tends to crumble and break.
Third, you need to choose the right plastic. It is advisable to choose thin tips, then the nails will looknatural and will last much longer.
- First, you need to clean your hands with a disinfectant solution.
- Then do the tips. Remove the shine from it and process the free edge with a file, give it the desired shape.
- Then apply the plastic sheet to the nail and hold under pressure for up to 15 seconds.
- Next, file the tips again and sand it.
- Cover a new nail with gel and wait for it to dry.
I must say that there are different types of tips: with design, colored, transparent. Many today prefer to do nail extensions. "French" on tips also looks very original. What to choose is up to you. But beauty and elegance will be provided in any case.
