Nail modeling: what is it and what are the features of the method?

A stylish female image is created from a variety of nuances: from accessories to the original manicure. Well-groomed and beautiful nails - decoration of any beautiful lady. To maintain the beauty of the hands, you can use nail modeling. This process involves applying to the plates a special artificial material to give them strength and a beautiful appearance.

This procedure greatly simplifies the life of women, because the care of the plates is reduced to visiting the nail salon 2-3 times a week. Natural nails are more likely to break. Modeling can be done in several ways.

• Acrylic. The plate is strengthened with a special powder, which hardens as a result of the synthesis with liquid. This material implies a professional application, in the home a similar procedure is hardly possible. Acrylic nails are very strong and beautiful. The removal of the coating takes place using a solution.
• Gel. The most common method of modeling the plate. Gel nails look very natural. The gel is applied on natural nails, and then - on the tips (or special forms). Perhaps the lack of gel method is the difficult removal of platinum. This material can only be cut.
• The cloth. Elongation occurs with the help of silk or linen. This method is outdated in the modern beauty industry due to insufficient strength. This method is most often used today to restore a broken plate.

The presented methods involve the use of special templates and plastic elements. For example, tips are plastic "tips" of nails. They come in various shapes and lengths. They are attached to the natural nail with a special glue. Then Tipsu give the desired shape and carefully polished in order to equalize with the "native" nail plate. Then the nails are covered with glue and sprinkled with special powder. Tips are suitable for owners of flat and thin plates with increased brittleness.

If we consider the advantages of gel modeling, then there are several clear advantages:

• brilliant and radiant coating;
• lack of strong chemical smell;
• coating strength.

At the same time, if the nail is damaged, the material will need to be completely removed and “re-built” (gel nails cannot be restored). When removing the gel "native" plates will not avoid damage. Compared with acrylic, gel coating is less durable. When caring for this simulation, pay attention to the following recommendations:

• Do not expose the plate to sudden temperature changes (in the cold the material may crack) and the effects of chemical agents (to make cleaning with rubber gloves);
• try to avoid proximity with open fire (high risk of ignition of the substance);
• Do not saw nails with metal nail files.

Acrylic coating is thinner and more natural. It is easy to remove, immersing your nails in a special solution.The material is very strong, so you can not be afraid to break the plate in the process of cleaning. Acrylic does not react to low temperatures, does not crack. At the same time, this modeling method has several disadvantages:

• persistent odor;
• there is a possibility of an allergic reaction;
• when removing the damaged natural nail plate.

With proper care, artificial nails for a long time will retain shine and amazing beauty.

One of the most popular and prestigious types of extension is arched nail design. This simple method consists in giving the arch of the plate a certain shape (high degree of curvature). The main task of this simulation is the creation of a C-bend, which preserves the proportions of the width and length of the nail. As a result, the nails are incredibly durable.

The following step-by-step scheme will help you to carry out this simulation:

• saw off the free edge of the plate (up to 2 mm);
• polish, removing the natural shine;
• degrease and coat the plates with primer;
• apply a thin layer of gel and dry (UV lamp);
• we take the necessary form and fix it;
• we attach the necessary bend (must coincide with the smile line);
• on the border of the nail and form create a gel substrate and dry;
• carefully remove the dispersion layer;
• we put the following layer of gel (plentifully on border and the middle);
• dry (no more than 10 minutes);
• remove the sticky layer of the gel and adjust the smile line with a nail file;
• free edge of the plate is covered with a base layer of the gel and dried again;
• remove the forms and fix the nails with a vice (to give the necessary silhouette);
• dry under the lamp for 5-7 minutes and remove the clamps;
• cover with a thin layer of gel polish;
• dry.
