Rubber bases for nails: what is it and how to use it correctly?

Today, to create a stylish and high-quality manicure a wide range of products from various manufacturers. New materials are fascinating diversity, but many are attracted to the rubber base for nails.

Such a base is a special coating that contains rubber in its liquid form. Many masters of the nail industry prefer such products, because after drying the coating becomes somewhat springy, thereby giving plasticity to the nails, which is very important. It is due to the content of the rubber such a tool is characterized by a thick consistency that allows you to quickly and easily align the nail plate.

If a small corner of the marigold breaks, then this base will allow it to be extended, but this tool will not work to get the full effect. It is worth noting another important advantage of the rubber base - in contrast to the liquid bases, it remains on the edges of the plate. For this reason, you need to produce a coating in two layers.

The base on the basis of rubber is the best choice for brittle and thin nail plates that do not hold gel polish. The application of this tool will give a gel polish stability and reliability. Today, many manufacturers of nail products offer and base on the basis of rubber, but, unfortunately, their quality does not always satisfy the wishes of customers. Some companies offer the usual liquid base, but designate it as rubber. Therefore, you should be very careful when choosing it, so as not to buy a fake.

Rubber base attracts the attention of buyers with the following advantages:

• creates an elastic and durable coating that allows you to bond layers of gel polish;
• gives brittle nails resistance;
• the coating can be both thin and dense, which allows the buyer to choose the option that will be optimal for his nail plates;
• allows you to create a smooth coating regardless of the condition of the nails using the ease of leveling process.

As with any tool, this base coat has some drawbacks:

• the tool is made on the basis of rubber, therefore it has a thick texture, which can lead to the formation of bubbles after using the lamp;
• if it is not tight to close the bottle with the base, it will become thicker, which further will lead to the impossibility of its use;
• it is necessary to adhere to certain rules of application, otherwise the coating will look sloppy and uneven;
• It is not necessary to remove the sticky layer of the coating, since it is this one that guarantees reliable adhesion to the gel polish.

It is necessary to take into account that the application of rubber base is different from the use of the usual option. First of all, it is necessary to determine the purpose of its application, since this is the main role in how to apply it on the nail plate. But the processing of marigolds must be carried out according to the classical method, which is manifested in the following sequence of actions:

• pterigy should be removed, treatment of the cuticle area and rollers on the sides;
• then it is necessary to remove the natural shine using a polisher or a soft nail file, the abrasiveness of which should be from 180 to 240 grit;
• after that it is worth treating marigolds with a degreaser, dehydrator and primer;
• after performing all the above steps, you can proceed directly to applying the rubber base.

As mentioned above, the method of application means depends entirely on the subsequent goals. For example, if you make a correction or build-up of nails, then the base should be applied with a thin layer, while trying to produce a rotating movement with a brush. However, to align the plates should be applied in several stages.

• It is necessary to apply the first layer as thin as possible. On the base, as on the tip of the brush, more funds should be removed so that there is not much of it on the brush itself. Then you can proceed to rubbing the base in the nail plate.
• The first layer should not be dried - it is necessary to put one drop of the rubber base in the center. Then, using a brush, pull it into the cuticle area and evenly distribute it, moving towards the free edge of the nail. After that it is necessary to carry out sealing.
• If there is a large amount of base on the nail, then each nail should be dried separately in the lamp. For this purpose it is better to use a device with a power of 48 W, because with its help a thick layer is dried in just half a minute.
• To give the nail plate the correct shape, it is necessary to lower the nail - this will allow a drop to create a so-called tubercle. In other words, an apex will be formed in the stress zone. Then the nail should be returned to its original position and dried under the lamp - this action will provide a perfectly smooth coating.

Many are interested in the issue of removing the gel polish along with the base, since this process is inevitable after each application. Usually such a coating is removed quite difficult, but you should pay attention to the “Lacquer Square” technique, which is quite easy to use.

This technique is as follows:

• first of all, a buff is applied to the nails, which allows you to eliminate the gloss;
• after that, using a special tool, you need to degrease the nail plate;
• then it is necessary to apply a transparent varnish on the nail, drawing a square in the center, since it is necessary to indent 1.5-2.5 mm from the edges;
• it just remains to dry the nails, without the need to use a lamp;
• after that a primer is applied to the tips;
• The final stage is the application of a base coat, gel polish and top.

Undoubtedly, such a manicure takes more time than usual, but it guarantees a fairly simple removal. It is necessary to wipe the nails with a gel polish remover - as a result, after 10 minutes the varnish itself will begin to move away in the area of ​​the square created by the transparent varnish. To eliminate the varnish around the perimeter of the nail plate, it is enough to use an orange stick. This method allows you to protect your nails when removing the manicure and speed up the process.

Today, many girls pay attention to manicure, while not everyone has the opportunity to go to a beauty salon, so they learn nail art at home. The rubber base is used both by professionals and inexperienced beginners, which is why it is quite popular. Users note that using it gel lacquer keeps on the nails for up to five weeks, while not splitting from the ends. This coating is very popular with girls with brittle nails, because it allows you to grow your natural nails to the desired length. Even despite the fact that you need to apply a thick layer of coating to ensure sufficient strength, nails still get easily bend.

Of course, there are also negative reviews about this tool, but most of them relate to low-cost products, which, most likely, are fake and do not contain rubber. If you keep the base properly and adhere to the basic rules when applying it, then the effect will surprise everyone.
