Currently, most of the girls from the variety of ways to perform a decorative coating of nails prefer gel varnish. This coating favorably differs durability and a large variety of colors and structures. But as the nail plate grows, the gel polish begins to grow together with it.
Therefore, even this durable material requires an update.
Correction Methods
There are two main options for correcting the overgrown part of the nail: partial and full. To perform each of them, you can go to the nail salon or carry out the procedure yourself at home.
Partial correction does not imply a complete removal of the old coating. It is rather a successful addition to the existing decor at the base of the nail. The time of accretion of the plate is very individual, and varies from a couple of weeks to a month. When performing partial dressing, the life span of the existing coverage is increased by another two weeks.
Completely replace gel polish - a more time consuming and lengthy process. This method is suitable for girls who prefer frequent changes in the design and shape of the nail.
It should be noted that this coating must be periodically (once every three months) removed completely in order to heal the nail plate, nourish them with vitamins. This period is great for making repairing masks and poultices for hands and nails.
Partial correction
Correction of a small section of the nail due to growth or cleavage can be done quite quickly and at home. Stages of work include:
- cuticle removal;
- leveling the treated surface;
- removal of one layer of gel polish;
- primer application;
- overlay base on the entire surface;
- gel lacquer staining;
- intermediate drying;
- applying a topcoat;
- final drying.
To smooth the color transition is better to take the varnish on the tone darker. It can be applied with a spade on the main layers, which will create the impression of an inseparable coating.
Full withdrawal
To create a new coating, it is necessary to completely remove the old gel polish with polyester fabric and special liquid. Copiously soaked tissue cuts are laid on the gel and wrapped in foil for a short time - 10 minutes. Then the remains of the coating are removed with the pusher. An alternative to this procedure may be grinding and cutting.
Further, it also follows the removal of the cuticle and the usual treatment of the nail with nail files. To remove dust from the surface used baff and antiseptic. Then, as with any manicure, the plate is covered with the base.
And finally, you can go to the designer painting and decorating the surface. Covered with color 2-3 times, nails will look brighter. Ready manicure is placed under the lamp to dry.
At the end it is necessary to strengthen the decor with a top coat, which is thoroughly dried. The important point is a moisturizing nourishing oil or cream for the skin around the plate and cuticle.
Silica gel fix

Some modern design styles allow you to harmoniously complement the regrown covering. These include the moon type and manicure frame. These types of decor allow you to paint over the base of the working surface with another contrasting color.
Best for the procedure suitable lacquer with metallic or gold glitter.They are universal in their compatibility and fit perfectly into the trends of the season.
Pedicure
Currently, the treatment of gel varnish of toenails is in increasing demand. And of course, with the growth of the nail, there is also a need for correction. It would be fair to note that such a procedure is necessary for pedicure much less frequently - once every 2-3 months. This is due to the slower growth of nails.
The process itself is no different from the correction on the hands. But here you need to remember that partial cutting is allowed only in the absence of pain when you press the nail. In addition, the nail file should not cling to the cuticle during processing. So, regrowth gel polish is removed in all places where the old coating leaves. And then the standard procedure of dressing and drying is performed.
