Dehydrators for nails: what is it, how to choose and use?

Manicure with the use of gel polishes is a complex, multi-step procedure, in which several mandatory means are used. If the technology is broken, the result will be a disappointment, it will not last long and can harm the nail plates. Today we will talk about the dehydrator, which is one of such mandatory funds.

Dehydrator for nails is applied to the plate in front of gel polish. It is transparent, sold in ordinary bottles with a brush. On the bottle may be the inscription "bond" or "bonder". This is the same remedy. Apply on the treated nail before the varnish or material for building. This tool performs a number of important functions:

• plate degreasing;
• restoration of the natural acidity of the nails;
• healing effect;
• disinfection;
• increase the strength and durability of the manicure;
• removing moisture, which is the main enemy of gel polish.

Always applying a dehydrator is a mandatory step. This is especially true for people with "wet hands". If dehydration is not carried out, the following consequences may occur:

• The fragility of the manicure, which can last even less than a week;
• peeling of the coating from the nail plate;
• nail problems;
• blistering during drying of varnish due to moisture that remained on the nail plate.

The dehydrator is available in several varieties. which we have to study now.

• The dehydrator can be part of other tools that are used for manicure. It is very convenient in work, besides the time of the whole procedure is reduced.
• Dehydrators, which are produced separately, are not part of other means.

Such tools for manicure can also differ in composition. Some components are the basis for all types of dehydrators, other components are added at the discretion of the manufacturer.

• Butyl acetate is the basis; it is an ester of acetic acid with butyl properties, which is used as an organic solvent.
• Dyes and fragrances are used by many manufacturers, these components have not the most beneficial effect on nails, therefore it is better to choose a product without them or at least with minimal content.
• Various acids are part of some tools, they are used to open the scales of the nail plate, which improves the penetration of the dehydrator. Methacrylic acid is commonly used. Concentration can vary from 30 to 100%. Such a tool is appreciated for excellent binding properties, because it is often used in acrylic building. It is important not to allow material to get on the skin, which will cause burning and itching. On the dried material appears white bloom.
• The acid-free bonders have a delicate effect, the plate remains more consistent, and the tool has a small depth of penetration. As part of such bonders there are a large number of resins, respectively, after drying a sticky layer is obtained.

The dehydrator is very easy to use. With him, even a novice master will not have problems, you just need to adhere to the recommendations of experts.

• Work must be done with gloves.
• The nails are prepared according to the standard scheme (the cuticle is removed, shaped, polished).
• The dehydrator is applied to the plate carefully so that the skin is not affected. With the brush removed extra Bonder on the edge of the bottle. Some materials are applied with a brush, like a regular varnish. But it is also possible to apply with a napkin.
• Application begins with the central part of the nail. Quality tool will independently spread on the plate.
• We are waiting for complete drying, usually enough minutes. We continue to work with other means according to the standard scheme.
• The dehydrator dries quickly, so you should not treat all the nails with this tool at once. The treated nail can not be touched, after drying the bonder immediately applied varnish.

Many companies are engaged in the release of dehydrators. Not all of them offer a quality product that should be applied to the nails. We will help to orient in this variety of manufacturers and products.

Nail Dehydrator PNB is the most popular manufacturer of materials for manicure. In the product range from this company there is also a dehydrator. It does not have an unpleasant smell, but some masters claim that the nail turns out to be overdried.

In the process of studying reviews of dehydrators, we learned how to replace this tool. It is better, of course, to use the original tool of one of those manufacturers that are included in our rating. But no one is immune from situations where the dehydrator is over, and the manicure is very necessary to do.Or simply at the moment there is no opportunity to purchase a quality tool.

In such emergency situations rescue acetone or alcohol, which is used in medicine. And also can help out Z% solution of boric acid on the basis of alcohol. As a degreaser, you can use citric acid, which not only removes pollution, but also serves as a source of vitamin C.

With the degreasing and drying of the plate, these tools cope well, which cannot be said about nail care. Here, both acetone and alcohol are even harmful because they overly dry the surface of the nail. Therefore, their use can only be a one-time character.

Professional masters in their reviews recommend working with materials from a single manufacturer. Only in this case it is possible to achieve maximum coupling of materials and get a durable result. All the positive reviews that we studied accounted for, for the most part, the materials of manufacturers from our rating. Some users mark a new Russian-made product - RuNail. It is odorless and contains no harmful ingredients.

There are also negative reviews. The reason most often is the materials that were purchased in questionable places of sale. In this case, it is safe to talk about forgery, expired material, or violation of storage rules. Negatives on the part of users also arise due to incompatibility of materials from different manufacturers.
