Gel nail

The gel modelling with nail tips is ideal to reinforce our own natural nails, not only, but also to extend. There are countless variations on nail tips, from the subtle French manicure up to various forms such as the failed V-shape. Once we have decided on some nail tips, now the question is, how it applies the best. The easiest way is, of course, to leave the work of a professional nail stylist – but in the long run, this solution is unfortunately quite expensive. Because it is worth investing in a gel system to do it. And away you go!

Washing, filing, Cleaner

First, you should wash your hands thoroughly and gently push back the cuticles. Now the natural nails are trimmed with a file so that no more than two millimeters survive. Unlike the acrylic modeling, the surface of the natural nail in the gel modellage not be roughed up – the shine but you should still remove the coarse side of a polishing buffer until the natural nail is frosted. Here the resulting filings now remove thoroughly. Now the natural nails are decreased yet – best with a cleaner that is applied to a pulp pad. This preparation of the artificial nail a long life is possible.

Adjust nail tips

Now the desired Nageltip is placed on the nail and ensure that it fits perfectly. The right size can be recognized that the tip with the walls of the natural nail and completes the imaginary natural extension forms. When the tip passes, he is stuck with a drop Tipglue to the natural nail. It should be ensured that the tip snaps into place – otherwise there is a risk of air bubbles between the natural nail and tip. A dip the cutter tips are now being brought to the desired length if necessary and filed into shape. The approach of the tips at the transition to the natural nail filed flat until it is almost invisible. It is important to cut only the tip, but not the natural nail. With a professional Tip Blender, this is quite simple. As before, the natural nail and the tip is now brushed gently with a buffer, the dust removed. Also Entfettungsprozedur must be repeated, so that the following gel modellage is optimally preserved.

Perfect nails extended

In the following primer is applied to the natural nail, but not the tip. After this follows the first layer gel, depending on the desired gel system. This is as nail polish applied with a small brush on the nail. After each layer, the hand is to cure for at least two minutes under a UV lamp, hereafter is again cleaned with cleaner, before the next layer below. So the nail is built layer by layer. Apply thin layer of gel to cure the last to leave and go.

Those who wish to save the tedious final in-shape-files used as the final layer, a sealing gel. This runs through the so-called effect of honey itself is smooth and glossy after curing. Only the side walls of the nail must be checked again and to be sharpened when necessary. Those who wish can decorate your nails with nail art finally.

It is really irritating to have those ugly skin tags popping up all over your body. And what makes matters even worse is the price of having them removed by a doctor. That’s why most people try to remove skin tags at home using things like nail clippers or nail polish.

Using nail clippers or scissors is a bit scary to most people because of the pain and the bleeding that comes with it. It can also be a bit too hazardous because of the risk of infection. Continue reading »

It’s easy and sort of fun.

If your dog sounds like he’s tap-dancing across the hardwood, it’s time for a trim. The very notion fills many dog owners with dread, but nail cutting is a simple–and very important–process. The dog’s wild and wooly ancestors kept their nails trim with constant running and digging, but the modern pooch prefers lying on the couch to coursing wild game. As a result, walking on overgrown nails can push up a dog’s toes, causing arthritis, splayed toes and joint problems later in life.

There are two choices when it comes to cutting nails. First, you can pay a professional to do it. Groomers and vets both offer the service for a reasonable fee. Or you can do it yourself. Continue reading »

The capsules without filing

They have the advantage of being practical and easy to install. They represent a huge timesaver.

It must still be careful to follow the protocol of pose that is not the same as for conventional capsules failing to realize that the improper installation would take off over time.

This type of capsule is perfect for short nails and slightly curved (but not eaten). And, in general, to nails that do not require substantial corrections.

ALL ABOUT THE CAPS

The conventional capsules

They allow many more corrections of the nail. This is actually a more conventional work, but offering the possibility of a more accurate result especially when working on hard nails (very corroded, rounded or very flat …).

The capsules without notches

They are mostly used to lengthen a French manicure or a natural nail that has a good length (to the end of the finger). If the nails are shorter, the result will not be aesthetic and certainly less strong.

By cons, it is true that these capsules offer a very fast implementation because they require no filing at all.

Among the conventional capsules, which type to choose?
I have healthy nails, short, and would like to extend them without damaging them

Understanding what primer is
and how it’s properly applied
will lead to less lifting and
healthier nails.

Nail primer can certainly make life easier for the nail technician. If used correctly, it can virtually eliminate lifting. But primer can also create problems if used unwisely. As with all of your professional tools, understanding and proper use are the keys to success.

Why do nail technicians need nail primer? The answer is simple: to improve adhesion and prevent lifting. Most liquid and powder enhancement products don’t adhere strongly to the natural nail when used without a primer. This is actually an advantage because enhancements that bond too strongly to the nail plate are difficult to remove safely. The old fashioned “dental acrylics” are a great example. These products bonded so tightly to the nail plate that only aggressive drilling and coarse abrasives could remove them. Continue reading »

Gels are pre-mixed, so no ratio errors; never too wet (excess shrinkage) or too dry (brittleness). (Gels can’t be too wet or too dry, due to the “oligomer” gel, instead of monomer-liquid and polymer-powder mix as with acrylics.)

Gels harden in 20 secs and cure in under 2 mins (generally), so no lifting problems associated with filing on un-cured liquid/powder (polymer/monomer which take upwards of 24-72 hours to cure) acrylics. (Of course due to the photo-initiator induced hardening/curing of gels instead of body heat-induced as with acrylics).

Chemical Overexposure.

The Story Of Evil Dr. Allergic Reaction Versus The Sinister Mr. Irritation.

To begin our epic story, lets learn a little more about each of our characters.

Sinister Mr. Irritation usually begins with an itchiness around the nail unit. (Either under the plate, or the surrounding tissue.) If the irritant is removed, then Mr. Irritation will disappear. Or, sometimes the itchiness will subside as the body builds up a defence to the irritant. As far as nail products go, Mr. Irritation is usually a result of product coming into contact with soft tissue. This can be from actual acrylic products (wraps, adhesives, gels, monomer/polymer) getting on the skin, to dust, and improper handling of the products. Continue reading »

Intro

Healthy nails are smooth, shiny, and translucent pink colored. They also have a normal growth pattern. Unhealthy nails can have disorders and result in abnormal growth.
The technical term for nail is “onyx”. Nails are considered part of the skin; they are made up of keratin, like the skin and hair. But nails are a harder form of keratin than skin and hair. They help to protect and grasp.
The average rate of growth for adult nails is 1/8” per month. Toenails grow even slower. Nails can replace themselves within 3-4 months. They do grow quicker in the summer than the winter. The nail on the middle finger grows the fastest, and the nail on the thumb the slowest. Continue reading »
