Acrylic nail extensions

Acrylic nail extensions , like many other cosmetic procedures, were originally used for medical purposes. In the 60s of the last century, the dentist Henry Ri with the help of dental acrylic restored nail plates to his wife.

Advantages of acrylic nail extensions

Then, as, indeed, today, this procedure was shown to people who have significant problems with the structure of the nail:

1. Stratification.
2. Breakage.
3. Aesthetic defect after nail damage.

Over time, this procedure has gone beyond the bounds of medical use and has also acquired an aesthetic motivation: today, competitions are held annually to model and decorate artificial nails among masters from all over the world, and specialized literature that helps professionals improve.

As the modeling of nails gained popularity, acrylic ac- celeration at home became common. In order to increase the nails by this method, it is enough to buy several materials and adaptations. The technique itself is not difficult, if you practice on mannequins, but the first time it may seem complicated, because it requires a good eye and accuracy.

How to make nail acrylic on forms?

Acrylic hairpin strengthening today is most popular, because such nails look neat and stylish, and also suitable for different makeup and style of clothes.

To create a jacket is not difficult, the only difficulty is the correct formation of a "smile" - the place where the line of the free edge begins. Despite the fact that the special stencil facilitates its formation, however, it is easy to make it uneven, therefore this part requires special skill.

What is needed to build up acrylic?

Materials for acrylic building are easy to buy in any professional store:

1. Classic manicure set, which includes a spatula and scissors.
2. Primer and primer.
3. Nail files with abrasiveness of 150/180 and 80/100.
4. Acrylic and liquid acrylic powder is dissolved by liquid so that acrylic becomes plastic.
5. A long brush for applying acrylic.
6. Freses.
7. For aquarium nail design, the type of jacket is acrylic rolling in any color. In the opposite case, another decorating material is required, depending on the preferences.
8. Forms for building .
9. Finish-acrylic coating designed to fix the simulated nail.

Technology of acrylic building

1. First of all, you need to prepare nails for building. To do this, the cuticle is cut off and the nail plate is polished using a nail file (abrasiveness 150). The top layer is cut down. In the hard-to-reach places, cutters can be used along the edges of the nail. The edge of the nail should protrude no more than 1-2 mm, and be absolutely even.
2. Now the nail plate needs to be degreased in order to fix the acrylic. To do this, use a primer - a colorless coating, and then a pre-primer. These tools serve as the basis for a quality build-up that will not be brittle and will last long.
3. Then to the nail plate you need to substitute the shape and lay out with acrylic nail bed. Acrylic at this step when creating a French jacket should be painted in a gentle pink color.
4. Next, you need to form a free edge of the nail with a transparent acrylic. If the jacket is classic, then acrylic should be white.
5. To create an aquarium design for transparent acrylic, you need to lay out the acrylic rolling of any color.
6. Now the entire nail needs to be covered with colorless acrylic - this layer will fix the previous one together with the acrylic rolling, and will also make the new nail integral.
7. Now the free edges of the form can be removed and approximately estimate how correct the work at this stage has turned out. The nail should be uniform from both edges.
8. Now, to make the nail as natural as possible (rounded inwards), it is clamped on the sides with tweezers.
9. In order to correct minor deficiencies, the edges of the nail are sawed with a milling cutter.
10. Now you need to give the necessary bend along the entire length of the nail - for this use a nail file with an abrasiveness of 80/100, and then grind to remove roughness. After this stage, the decor of the nails begins - finishing and additional decoration, if necessary.

Design of acrylic nails

Building acrylic allows you to realize a unique design of nails. In the "order" of the master not only flat drawings, but also relief, which can be formed from acrylic. Often masters make acrylic convex flowers, which are placed either on one or all of the nails. Of the shortcomings of this design can be identified only one: the drawing can cling clothes and objects, if it is not enough to grind it.

Growing colored acrylic is also one of the ways to decorate your nails: the master is applying color acrylic and pulling it out. So you get a rainbow pattern-base, on which you can draw an additional pattern or leave in this form.

Often, craftsmen also use rhinestones and sequins that emphasize a certain part of the nail.
