Nail degreaser: what it is, how to use and what to replace?

Any woman dreams of a quality and neat manicure, and increasingly, women tend to nail or strengthen their gel polish, as the procedure saves time and allows you to boast an excellent result over a long period. However, how firmly the material on the nail plate will hold depends not only on the qualifications of the master, but also on how high-quality materials were used in the work. An important role in creating the perfect manicure plays a degreaser. What is this tool, and what is used, we consider later in the article.

Even with careful hand washing it is impossible to guarantee the complete cleanliness of the marigold. This is because human skin constantly produces sweat and fat. A degreaser is needed in order to eliminate contamination as much as possible and to allow materials to adhere more firmly to the surface.

This tool is a special liquid with a carefully selected composition that allows you to remove the oily layer from the nail. In addition, it is used to disinfect the plate. Experts recommend using this material for any manicure to get a more lasting result.

In order to choose the right degreaser for nails, the consumer needs to consider the means with which composition he needs. The material may either contain acid or not have it in the composition. It is necessary to approach this issue carefully, because there are significant differences between the drugs. This applies both to their price and the impact on the nail plate.

As for the ingredients, in addition to the presence of acids, if provided, the composition contains vitamins, disinfecting elements, oils, isobutyl, isopropanol, aromatic fragrances.

When the master or the consumer has already decided on the means he needs, the question arises as to which of the ingredients on the shelves will be better. It should be borne in mind that the material can be either single phase or have other characteristics, for example, the possibility of removing the adhesive layer. In general, all liquids for removing moisture from the nails offered on the market can be divided into 3 types: dehydrators, primers and wedges. Consider the main differences in more detail.

The dehydrator is capable of combining many properties. It removes dirt from the nail plate, disinfects it, and also dries it.

And also the product is perfect for removing sticky gel layer in the process of creating a manicure.

The dehydrator with a brush specially designed for this will be applied correctly, but it can be distributed using a lint-free wipe. To the composition does not evaporate, and the plate again did not have time to become covered with a thick layer, experts recommend applying the material on the nails in turn. This will help to avoid the useless use of funds.

The main task of the clinzer is to remove the sticky layer after drying the gels in a special lamp. However, this is not the only function, it is quite suitable as a base.

The liquid contains alcohol, so the masters often use it to disinfect working tools.

As for the primer, many masters in their work can not do without him. The liquid promotes better adhesion of the nail plate with the materials applied to it. Among the functions we can mention the protection of natural nails from the negative effects of artificial turf, cleansing from various contaminants, drying the top layer. The composition is absorbed in the scales of the nail and remains there for a long time.

After primer is applied to the nails, the materials do not come into contact with them, but with the composition that covers the surface. Liquid can be both with the content of acid, and without it. Depending on this condition, it acts differently on the plate.

To avoid burns, it should be applied very carefully. However, the acid primer perfectly prepares the nail for artificial coating, including it can be used if you plan to hold nail extensions with acrylic.

Primer that does not contain acid, has a more gentle effect on the nail. However, it is also able to remove dirt.

As well as acid-free primer does not cause discomfort in the process of use, it does not burn the skin and mostly does not contribute to the appearance of allergies. It can be used as with nail polishing with shellac, as well as with extension or correction.

Each master selects a degreaser based on his personal preferences. Consider those that are particularly popular in the market and get mostly enthusiastic reviews of the fair sex.

For the convenience of consumers, degreasers, for the most part, are equipped with a brush, like a regular varnish. This helps to make the application as fast and smooth as possible.

The very process of applying funds should be carried out as accurately as possible.

On average, you need to distribute the degreaser about 2 millimeters from the edge of the nail plate. In case of contact with skin, remove the agent immediately.

When the degreaser is applied, it should dry. Usually this process takes about 10 seconds. Certain brands of drugs require drying in the lamp.

If for any reason a manicure was not purchased degreaser, you can use other available tools. For example, at home marigold degreased with acetone, alcohol, vinegar and even ordinary soap. But it can also be done using salicylic or boric acid and, say, cologne. The easiest option - nail polish remover. However, the nail service masters do not recommend using substitutes for a long time, as this may lead to a deterioration of the state of natural nails.

Consider in more detail what means you can use as a degreaser.

• Nail polish remover. If the liquid does not contain acetone, there will be little sense from it. The absence of this component will not allow for the most efficient cleaning of the nail plate, some of the fat deposits will remain. However, acetone-containing composition will help in this matter much better. They need to moisten a cotton pad and wipe marigolds.

• Alcohol. To degrease the nails with alcohol, it is necessary medical. It does not contain impurities, provides high-quality disinfection, does not allow the development of fungus and pathogenic bacteria. It should be borne in mind that alcohol can not be applied too often, it adversely affects the health of nails. It is possible to use formic alcohol in the degreasing procedure, but its effect also cannot be called useful. Moreover, it is recommended to use it only in gloves. Do not use vodka as a degreaser. It contains oils and impurities, so the procedure will not give the desired result.
• Salicylic acid. Salicylic acid can also be an alternative to a professional degreaser. The negative points here are the same as in the previous cases: there is a risk of burning the skin with careless use, and the nail plate is also dried.

It should be borne in mind that any tool should be used with caution, because no one is immune from the occurrence of allergies. In the case of a degreaser, the negative reaction to it may be different.

Manifestations may be in the form of redness, itching, burning. And also the consumer can sneeze and cough. A scaling appears on the skin. In severe cases, the temperature rises.

Based on this, it is recommended to test it before using the tool. This is done as follows: a small amount of the composition is applied to the nail plate and left for about half an hour.

As noted by the masters of nail service, you should use only professional tools. They guarantee an excellent result, do not adversely affect the condition of natural nails. In addition, one bottle is enough for a rather long period of time.

The same applies to the fair sex, who decided to make marigolds at home. Professional degreasers are not so expensive, but its use allows you to make a better manicure.
