Acrylic Nail Powder

Every modern woman wants her nails to be strong, beautiful and healthy. Alas, not all nature has endowed everyone with such wealth, therefore, more and more women began to turn to strengthening nails with acrylic powder. It is worth considering in more detail what it is, to get acquainted with the advantages and disadvantages of this material and the principles of its use.

Few of us thought about the fact that acrylic powder has a wide range of applications. More recently, it was successfully used in dentistry, leveling the surface of the filling. The substance is a synthetic polymer powder, which hardens upon contact with a special liquid, called a monomer.

The interaction of the powder with the liquid (monomer) is rapid solidification. This suggests the need for both neat and fast work. Otherwise, it may be necessary to rework poor quality results. A distinctive feature of this substance is its ability to fill even microcracks, due to which it is possible to restore a smooth and smooth surface of the nail.

However, no matter how much one would like to use acrylic powder to restore nails, it is worth considering the limitations, since the material has its own contraindications. For example, if the fungus is damaged by nails, this reinforcement is excluded. It is undesirable to perform such a procedure during pregnancy.

There are situations where the use of powder will not give the desired result. For example, it is useless to use acrylic powder to strengthen or nail in case of diabetes, intestinal diseases or hormonal system malfunctions. The type of hygienic manicure for strengthening also matters. For example, with the cutting technique, which is performed with the cutting of the cuticle by cutting tools, it is possible to use acrylic only a day after the cuticle has been processed.

Acrylic powder has a lot of advantages. For example, due to the porous structure, it allows the nails to breathe, which is important for their growth and health. In addition, the hardening powder covering the surface of the nail, resists their delamination and brittleness. It also protects the nail plates from environmental factors. The powder protects the nails from exposure to cold and ultraviolet radiation, does not allow them to collapse under the regular influence of household chemicals. A quality product during work forms a smooth coating without any bubbles and discontinuities. Acrylic powder is good and the fact that it does not harm the nails themselves, which is not the case with helium products. In addition, the regrowth preserves the natural shape of its nails.

This powder has such advantages:

• powder is varied in colors, due to which you can give them not only a healthy look, but also decorate them with texture;
• with a thin layer of application, the material looks quite natural;
• build-up is amenable to correction, and both procedures are simple and do not take much time;
• material removal is quick and easy;
• The maximum period of manicure with acrylic powder can be four weeks.

Today, the market for nail products presents a lot of low-quality powder, which is the cause of an allergic reaction. This causes significant damage to the reputation of the powder as a whole, because clients, having heard enough negative reviews, can refuse to use acrylic powder. The work must comply with not only the utmost accuracy: Any deviation from the generally accepted technology can affect the nail and lead to its damage or infection. Antiseptic treatment of nails and the skin around them in this case is an integral part of the workflow.

Acrylic powder is a material that is not so easy to choose. Not every powder of this type is able to tightly cover the plate itself, without spreading over it. Often powder crystallizes in the course of work and is not amenable to manipulation by the master. Ideally, it should have a porous texture. During the work with this material natural gloss of nails disappears. It is worth noting that the nuance that to make a perfect coverage at home the first time will fail. It requires at least minimal skills and practice. In the salon manicure with acrylic powder is expensive.

By forming a greenhouse effect when layering on the nail, the powder can aggravate the condition of diseased nail plates. Regardless of the use of antiseptic in this case, it will become a catalyst for the development of nail fungus. This material is not a medicine or masking of problematic nails.

You can use acrylic powder not only in the salon, knowing the basics of the manipulation, but you can quickly master the technique at home. It is worth considering the main nuances of work for beginners, stopping step by step at each stage, which will simplify familiarity with acrylic powder. For this it is necessary to prepare the following materials:

• nail napkins;
• dehydrator;
• acetone containing liquid;
• liquid soap;
• soft grinder;
• antiseptic;
• monomer;
• small capacity;
• acrylic Powder.

First, disinfect hands, washing them with liquid soap. Next, wipe them dry with a towel. With the help of acetone get rid of the old coating. It is preferable to use a liquid that contains essential oils or nutritional components. If the nail hybrid varnish, it is removed using a special liquid.

Each nail is treated with antiseptic. At the same time, the nails cannot be poured with the agent, as there are moisturizing ingredients in any antiseptic. The more they will be on the nail, the more difficult it will be to remove, and the coating will not be able to stay on such a basis for a long time. After processing, each nail is aligned with a buff (grinder). You can not use rough sawing, because from this on the surface of the nail plate will be grooves and protruding scales.

After that, the cuticle is usually removed and the pterygium is cleaned using an orange stick. Excess skin is cut off with scissors, residual sawdust is cleaned first with a special brush, then cleaned with a dehydrator (degreaser). At this stage, the preparation for the application of acrylic ends. Further work will depend on the type of application of the material itself.Based on this, in addition to the acrylic and monomer itself, you may need: a primer (special helium primer), a file, a keratolic, a brush.

The work scheme consists of the following consecutive steps:

• the monomer is poured into a separate container using a small amount;
• brush dipped in liquid (monomer), give excess fluid to drain or slightly squeeze the brush on the edge of the tank;
• pick up some powder on the tip of the brush and wait until it gets the desired look (it will become a plastic mass);
• mass is applied to the nail with a confident movement, retreating from the cuticle no more than 1 mm;
• after drying, correct the unevenness of the work;
• base surface grind buff.

If necessary, you can apply acrylic powder again. In general, the basic technique cannot be called complete, since almost always the female soul requires the maximum aesthetic appeal of the nails, which can be achieved by staining them.

In any preparation of the nail, it is important to understand that much will depend on the toolkit. For example, you need to use nail files with different abrasives. For the edge, it is more expedient to use a product with large particles, to model it is easier to medium, to grind the smallest and soft, not grinding your own nails. It is important to pay attention to the need to use a primer that will bind acrylic with a native nail. The primer in this case acts like double-sided tape, it can be used even for sensitive marigolds. Someone can be useful pusher, means for softening the cuticle, tips made of plastic.

Initially, powdered powder had one color and was used mainly for building, which was explained by high plasticity and strength gain during the drying process. Nail service professionals have learned how to use acrylic powder to repair damaged nails and even creative design. In addition to artistic modeling, they use nail art in French design with the help of powder. And also this material is used for further coating with gel varnish. At the same time, the powder itself looks natural and aesthetically attractive. However, working with it may seem difficult, because you need to properly select the powder and follow the detailed instructions exactly. It can fill the existing microcracks and irregularities of the nails, prepare a good and strong base for excellent adhesion to the gel polish.

Acrylic powder nail strengthening techniques are needed if they are thin, brittle and do not hold the coating well. The technique significantly increases the resistance of nails to mechanical damage. In this case, the nails are not afraid of water, because the material does not soften in it, even with prolonged exposure. It is advisable to use a medical mask, open the window.

To strengthen the nails can be otherwise. To do this, you must first perform a hygienic manicure, align the length, make the edge on all ten nails identical, clean the cuticle and pterygia. After sanding, primer should be applied to the nails and dried, as the lack of drying will cause rapid detachment of any material.After that, the monomer is applied to the nail plate, a pusher is taken in hand, and acrylic powder is poured onto it and sprinkled on its nail plate.

After drying, remove the powder residues with a brush, proceed to adjust the coating. If necessary, it is polished and subjected to a light correction. After you can cover the nails gel varnish. If you do not want to perform the reinforcement in this way, you can proceed according to the standard scheme. As for strengthening without extension, it is desirable to extend the existing length by at least 2 mm. This is necessary to ensure that the acrylic does not split off from the end of the nail. In addition, this procedure will prevent chipping.

The process of nail acrylic is different from the usual strengthening that here it is necessary not only to distribute the composition of the nail plate, but also to form the arch. It is worth considering that the difference can be a layer of powder applied, because it will depend on the individual characteristics of specific nails. To simplify the task, it is easier for beginning masters to use special tips or upper forms.because it is easier to increase the desired shape and length. In addition, the use of forms will reduce the duration of growth and manicure as a whole. You should not resort to paper templates for the first time, since working with them is more difficult than with tips. The technique itself will require prior execution of a hygienic manicure, and it is worthwhile to pre-select the size of the templates that are more suitable for your nails than others.

After that, first they apply a primer on the nails, dry it, then proceed to create a beautiful shape and desired length by performing the following actions:

1. brush dipped in the monomer, then immediately in a jar of powder;
2. as soon as a plastic ball is formed on the tip, it is applied to the inner side of the upper form and with a crushing movements create a thin coating of the desired length;
3. the material is distributed evenly from two sides, while leaving in the central part more means for the formation of the arch;
4. you need to try to on the sides of the acrylic composition went to no, because with an excess of substance, it can climb out of the form;
5. immediately after applying the powder, the form is applied to the nail and pressed tightly;
6. after that the form is removed, the nail, if necessary, file and polish;
7. Further, you can proceed to staining and design on accent nail plates.

If we approach the issue of building up correctly, then you can immediately purchase a ready-made kit, which includes all the necessary substances and tools that allow you to perform high-quality and durable nail extension. In this case, the same powder can not only strengthen or build up the nails, but also make timely repair or correction of the plates in case of detachment of the material.

One of the possibilities of acrylic powder is a decorative function. Today, on the shelves of stores, this powder is presented in a variety of options and modifications. For example, you can buy a shiny glitter or the so-called acrylic sugar. Caster sugar can have a different size of microparticles, due to which the nail service professionals immediately determine in which design it can be used. For example, the variants with a fine fraction of microparticles allow you to create different contours of pictures, and they are quite accurate and precise.Those species that are larger are good for full sprinkling of nail plates. Due to this, the masters create the effect of playing various textures, which today is considered to be one of the trend trends of the nail fashion.

If we consider that acrylic powder today is presented in a wide color palettethen it opens up a lot of opportunities for design and creation of three-dimensional drawings. For example, it is this material that is used when you need to create a knitted texture popular today. The whole secret lies in drawing some pattern on the nail, for example, a crocheted braid, and sprinkle it with powder with subsequent drying in the lamp. According to this principle, you can create different color compositions and patterns. For example, the gradient created using colored acrylic powder will look gorgeous.

The original type of design is drawing on a painted base, complemented with a rub-in. For example, it may be gold, silver, pearl or even mirror pollen. The technology in this case will be as follows:

1. perform hygienic manicure;
2. primer is applied to the nails, dried in a special drying device;
3. on top of the primer cover base, which is also dried in the lamp;
4. nail stained with pigment (gel varnish or gel); each applied layer is performed with sealing the end of the nail and mandatory drying;
5. after that the painted coating is sealed with a top without a sticky layer;
6. then the top is dried and the desired pollen is rubbed into it using a finger or an applicator;
7. on the loop, draw patterns or flowers, lines, other motifs, using a transparent modeling tool;
8. nail sprinkle the desired acrylic powder and dried in the lamp;
9. the remains of powder clean a special brush.

Remove acrylic coating easy. You do not need to tear off anything, because it hurts the nails. To remove the layer of acrylic, it is enough to use a special liquid in which nails are soaked for about 15 minutes. After the desired time, the coating is removed with an orange stick. As a rule, the material dissolves well acrylic, so after 15 minutes it is removed without much effort.

Specialists working with acrylic powder, note that in no case can not perederzhivat nails in the solution, as this can cause painful irritation of the skin. More often, a single nail wrap, repeated use of cotton pads or napkins is extremely rare.

Acrylic powder is not a universal powder that is used for all types of applications. In fact, for each function is its own powder. It differs in volume of output, particle size and often quality, as noted by highly skilled masters of nail service. The product, which is used for sprinkling and building, may not be suitable for decorating nails, and especially if you wish to make a small pattern. In addition, the powder may have a different texture. If one species can be covered on top with a sealant, the other does not need it. The same can be said about polishing: this phase is not needed if an embossed pattern is created with acrylic powder.

As for the material of the saw, it is impossible to use a metal product in the work. Buying the right product, you need to carefully study its characteristics on the label.Upon contact of the monomer and the powder, the acrylic substance is compacted and quick drying. You will have to work quickly and with minimal rubbing of the layer in the same place. It is worth noting the price issue, as often among cheap materials come across products that harm the skin and the nails themselves. And it is also important not to forget about the rest of the nail plates, because they can weaken from constant growth and strengthening.

Being one of the most discussed topics in the field of nail art, acrylic nail powder receives a lot of controversial reviews. Fans of this powder note the flexibility of extended nails while increasing their strength. In addition, they highlight the convenience of translucent texture, which allows you to adjust the shade of powder. Women like the possibility of partial correction of nails, because it does not need to remove the previously applied material.

Other reviews have negative aspects of the material. For example, those who are acquainted with this powder, write that this procedure is not so harmless, because during it is likely to infect nail fungus. It is important to prevent the ingress of air between the nail and acrylic.
