Who would have thought before that a manicure could be done twice, or even once a month and at the same time have well-groomed handles with perfect nails? The old manicure was very short-lived, the edges were chipped, the coating was covered with cracks, and the varnish was erased. And such an effect could be expected even on the second day after the procedure. Now the nail design is done with the help of shellac, which is dried in a special lamp, in a scientific way this process is called polymerization.
Unfortunately, such a lasting effect has to be calculated. And the price turns out to be rather big. After removing shellac, you can often find problems on the nails. This may be the yellowness of the nail plates, brittle nails, a rough surface, delamination and other unpleasant moments. Such situations need to be eliminated, but not to close problems with a new manicure.
What is shellac?
To begin with, let's deal with what is shellac - the culprit of nail problems. This material is something average between nail polish and gel, which is used to build the nail plate. If you parse the name Shellac, we get the name of the brand, which actively protects the know-how.
Shellac can not be used for building, which can not be said about the gel. Also, it is absolutely not suitable for the correction of nails. For the storage of shellac are used ordinary bottles with a brush, which are already well known to us. To dry this material requires exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The list of shellac features does not end there.
- The coating can hold on the nails for a very long time, for more than a month that’s for sure. Everything will depend on the quality of work and features of socks. Only because of the regrowth of the nail plate approximately every 2 weeks you have to remove the old coating and put your nails in order.
A special solvent is used to remove shellac. For the gel, for example, the mechanical method (cutting) is used.
Manicure with the use of shellac can only be done on healthy nails. If the plate is unhealthy, then under the durable coating it will become even more depleted, brittle and fragile. In this case, the nail is likely to break along with the new manicure.
Shellac can be used during pregnancy and hormonal treatment. There are no particular contraindications, but consultation with a doctor will not be superfluous.
- Manicure with the use of shellac has a sparing effect on the nail, in contrast to the gel extensions. And yet there is a negative impact. For a strong manicure, which will hold on the nails for a month, you still have to pay.
Implications of using
All manufacturers of shellac tirelessly talk about its complete safety and the absence of harmful effects on the nail plate. In fact, it is not. Yes, the effect of shellac is more benign than in the case of the gel, but it is still there. The consequences of the use of shellac, especially permanent, in which the nails do not rest from such a manicure, can manifest themselves in different ways. Nails deteriorate for several reasons.
- Polishing the plate, even very gentle, in any case, it is thinning. If the nails are already thin, and even the master can not calculate the duration and intensity of polishing, then the matter is quite bad.
Shellac after drying forms a dense, durable layer. Air and sunlight do not flow through it.But the nails are part of a living organism, they need high-quality nutrition, air and sunlight. If these three factors are limited, then the nails will become dry, soft, exhausted.
But UV radiation should not be afraid. Of all the procedures, it is the most innocuous, of course, if it is carried out according to the rules, in compliance with safety regulations. Only people with sensitive skin that does not tolerate UV rays should be wary of such a procedure.
There are several types of problems that can appear on the nails after shellac is removed. Finding one of them, you can say that the nails have deteriorated and they need urgent help.
- When cutting a nail or removing a design, excessive zeal may be exhibited or technology may be impaired. As a result of such actions, the nails are very thin, they hurt at the slightest touch, not to mention the temperature change during drying in the lamp.
- From low-quality materials that attract an affordable price, the plate can crack and exfoliate just under shellac. Further, the nails can become yellow and rough, become covered with spots and move away from the nail bed.
From excessively long drying in the lamp without compliance with the technology under the nail plates can form painful blisters. In this case, the skin on the hands, too, you will not be delighted, because it will peel off and can even crack.
Fungus is another common problem that masters can “reward”. The reason may be tools that have not been disinfected, and violations of basic hygiene standards.
Some people develop allergy to shellac. About its presence can be found on the blisters on the fingers, they often itch and hurt. In this case, you will need to change the materials or completely abandon shellac.
