Akrigel for nail extensions: characteristics, features of choice and use
Not so long ago, an innovative product for manicure and pedicure masters appeared on the modern market. Akrigel combines the best qualities of two materials for nail extension: acrylic and gel, and was produced taking into account the wishes of the nail service masters.
This approach allowed to exclude from the composition of the monomer, which is in acrylic and causes a lot of problems, but to leave the strength inherent in this material.
What is akrigel?
Akrigel is a hybrid of gel and acrylic, and has many advantages compared with traditional methods of building.
Consider the main ones:
- easy to use, easy to apply on the nail surface and does not spread;
- absolutely harmless to health, due to the special composition;
- does not cause an allergy and has no sharp smell;
- the dust remaining after cutting does not scatter around the room, but accumulates on the work surface;
- does not release fumes during polymerization;
- easy to apply and does not require additional skills.
Akrigel is a versatile material and allows craftsmen to expand their range of services. With it, you can not only make the correction of chips and lengthen the plate, but also to simulate a flat or dome-shaped form. As a result, the nails are thin, identical to natural, however, very strong. Nails made with akrigelya, almost not felt, due to the special elasticity and lightness of the material.
The only drawback of such a polygel is its price, which can reach up to 5 thousand rubles for a bottle. In addition to the material itself, additional funds will also be needed, which will also have to be purchased at a high price.
What is the difference from other materials?
Akrigel for nail extension allows to achieve the best effect in comparison with traditional materials. A new coating can be applied more thinly than acrylic, resulting in nails look like natural. Unlike acrylic coating, the polygel does not harden without drying under the lamp, which greatly simplifies working with it, and also significantly reduces the time to conduct all operations.
If we compare akrigel with gel varnish, then it does not spread and remains in the place of application. This allows you to come up with new solutions and forms, use it to work with the upper forms of the nail. The use of polygel allows craftsmen to save considerably, because the consumption of material is minimized.
To create the desired effect on the nails, no need to apply several layers, one is enough, and the nails will look perfect.
Application technique and features of use
Polygel is a rather unpretentious material, for it does not need to acquire new special brushes. Suitable for those used for the application of the gel or acrylic. The ideal choice for working with material will be brushes made of artificial or mixed with natural lint.
Step by step application instructions is as follows.
- Before starting work, wet the brush in a degreaser.
- We prepare the nail in the same way as when working with gel. Degrease and coat with primer in a single layer.
- A little polygel is evenly applied to the plate with a brush.
- Then dip the brush in a special solution for working with acrigel. It will allow the brush to not stick to the material.
- Make a shape, slightly pressing the material to the plate with a brush.In order to avoid detachment, it is necessary to carefully work out the cuticle area, as when working with acrylics.
- After the entire surface is covered with a polygel, the nail must be dried in the lamp.
- Smooth the surface of the nail with a 180 grit file. She also finish the formation.
Akrigel is available in small colors. However, to diversify the design and get the desired color, gel lacquer can be applied over the material.
