Beautiful marigolds of ideal shape and equal length - the best decoration of women's hands. It's no secret that growing natural nails is a work that does not bring results if the body lacks calcium. In this case, false nails come to the women of fashion. Today we learn about their types and ways of using.
Varieties of artificial nails
In general, artificial nails are called artificial nails in the form of finished plastic plates, which are attached to natural nails with the help of special glue.
Two other varieties of artificial nails ( acrylic and gel ) are called extensible - they are more durable and durable.
The build-up, as a rule, is performed in the cabin, since this procedure requires the use of an ultraviolet lamp. But the false nails can be used at home - how to glue them correctly, now we'll figure it out.
Selection of false nails
Finished plates are sold in sets. They can be a natural color, which is important if you want to create a nail design yourself by showing a fantasy. If there is no time for this, it is necessary to stop the choice on the already painted plates - such false nails will only be glued, as it should be processed with a nail file and giving the shape of an oval, a square or a semicircle.
By the method of fastening the plates are classified into two types:
- self-adhesive - their inner edge is already treated with a sticky substance;
- keep on the glue - complete with these false nails is a special glue.
The first option is good if a beautiful manicure is needed for one evening: the sticky substance is inferior in quality to the glue, therefore self-adhesive plates are usually released not very long.
But the nails on the glue hold up to 3 weeks (the best quality).
According to the shape of the plate are flat, with a pronounced bend and classic - choose those that lie on the native nail plate as naturally as possible.
Cost of the set
Buying false nails, do not be greedy, as cheap plates and glue can:
- "Poison" the natural nail with toxic substances;
- stick the plate to the native nail too hard, violating its structure.
In addition, cheap nails are very fragile.
The best reputation is enjoyed by Broadway Nails (about 11 cu) and Pretty Women (about 9 cu) plates - these false nails last long, do not contain toxic substances and are highly durable.
How to glue false nails?
Fastening of plates is carried out according to the following scheme:
- We prepare false nails - we cut their edges, adjusting to the size of the nail roller and giving the desired shape. We spread the plates in order.
- We prepare our hands: carefully wash them and dry them. Remove if necessary the remains of the old varnish, we cut the native nail.
- We move the cuticle around the nail with a metal spatula or a wooden stick. After that, you can treat the native nail plates with a small grinder to remove the natural shine. Dust after grinding is removed with a brush, we treat the nails with degreasing agent and proceed to gluing.
- On the false nail from the inside, we drip 3 drops of special glue (use a construction glue or "Moment" can not in any case!), Distribute it on the lower third of the plate with a nozzle of the tube.
- Apply the plate to the nail and tightly press the fingers. After 10 - 15 minutes, the plate firmly "seated".
- We repeat this for all nails and admire the result!
It is important that the plate fits snugly to the natural nail - if there is an air bubble under it, the manicure will fall off very soon. Self-adhesive plates after step 3 are simply pressed against the nail (the protective film from them must be removed beforehand).
How to remove false nails?
You can peel off the plates as follows:
- Drop the fingers into a special solution (KISS Remover Kit, for example);
- carefully remove the plates.
Another way: before you remove false nails, you should hold your fingers in hot water, then treat the edges of the gluing together with acetone and carefully remove the plates.
