Both on holidays and every day, every self-respecting girl tries to look wonderful in everything - shopping on weekends, spa after work, shampoo with balsam at home. Of course, we should not forget about the hands that can say so much about a person. The desire to make a perfect manicure sometimes makes you visit the most expensive beauty salons. Many people are interested in what to do if a manicure is needed not for one day, and the time to do is minimal, how to be if you want something fundamentally new, but you just got tired of regular gel polish. To help rescue false nails. And what they are and what to do with them - the answers in our article.

Kinds

It would seem, what can be the types of such linings, which are simply glued to their native nail plate. As it turns out, nails or otherwise tips are of several kinds.

  • Transparent marigolds suitable for those who like to experiment with colors and designs. These necessarily require painting, as your nail is visible due to the transparent structure. They can be applied absolutely any drawings, attach rhinestones and other accessories.
  • False natural Have the look of your native nail. But if you are going to make a drawing, it will not always be possible exactly as intended. The fact is that such tips already have the application of the skin color, as well as the line of the moon, which is sometimes very difficult to paint over even the densest varnish.
  • Nails with design. It is quite simple. No overlap is needed. You simply choose the pattern and color you like, stick it on at home and calmly wear it. But on such overlays, even if you really want to paint over the drawing, most likely, this will not be possible.

All these types are also divided into two more - self-adhesive and those that are attached to the glue. Of course, these species differ in the length and shape of the plate. The length varies from very short to very long. Forms can be completely different: oval, square, sharp, pointed, shovel-like and others. If you come home, you decide that the shape chosen in the store or the length still does not suit you, then there is a chance that you will be able to change the part. But it all depends on the quality of the purchased nails and the quality of the file itself. If the nails are made of the cheapest materials, then with the first touch of the file they will crack in half.

Important! Footpads also exist. Most often they go standard form. The favorite color of fashionistas - french. But just as for hands, there are transparent, natural and with design.

Advantages and disadvantages

Everything in the world has pros and cons. Overhead tips are no exception. They have the following advantages:

  • reasonable price - the range of cost of false nails varies from 100 to 1000 rubles;
  • fast gluing - especially suitable for those who are in a hurry somewhere, as already glued products do not need to be dried;
  • variety of beautiful designs, shapes, types.

Among the shortcomings worth noting the following:

  • fragility - lining can be worn with proper care for a week or a half, while gel polish can last up to a month;
  • damage to their nails - tips themselves do not spoil the nail plate, but low-quality glue can.
  • Tips can fall off at the most inopportune moment.

How much do they hold?

It all depends on the care and choice of glue. While you yourself do not try, you will not understand the quality glue or not.It should not drag or be lumpy. It should not have a very strong toxic smell, but it should not look like PVA. Glue for nail repair in this case is also suitable. He perfectly grasps the invoice tipu with a native plate.

Care for such nails is simple. But while socks should refrain from taking hot baths or visiting baths and saunas. It is better to do household chores with gloves. Most of all it concerns the interaction of hands with chemical agents. After gluing it is best if you don’t hurry anywhere, and for two hours you don’t do anything with your hands that could damage the manicure. And for six hours, do not wet the hands so that the glue will dry properly.

How to glue?

To glue false nails, worth following a few steps.

  • In order to make your own unique manicure, you will need preparation. To begin, remove all nails from the package and try on. The main thing - do not confuse what pad his own nail matches. Spread them in order in front of you.
  • Preparing your nails. Soften and remove the cuticle with a special stick. Handle the plate with the file, the side that removes the ribbing from your own plate. And also file your nails to the desired length, they should in no case be longer than the lining. Wipe off the lacquer, if present, with the usual nail polish remover.
  • It is not enough to degrease your plate with nail polish remover. Treat each nail with a lint-free alcohol wipe.
  • We start gluing. If the tips self-adhesive, then remove the protective film and exactly in line with the moon glue. If you want to apply glue, then apply it exclusively on the lining with a thin layer. Depending on the glue, you need to wait for a while, and not glue right away. Most often on the tube is written this time. Usually no more than 1 minute. Glue very carefully, as if driving a little under the removed cuticle.
  • That's not all. After you are convinced that all beauty is glued exactly, do nothing with it for at least half an hour. Let better grapple with your plate.
  • Treatment. This includes the adjustment of the plate, if it was wider than the nail. Correction of shape and length. Do not use a metal file, it can damage even quality tips.
  • If required, this step is painting the lining. Applying varnish, design, piercing and more.

Gluing nails on the toenails is absolutely similar. Most importantly, remember that you can glue them only on their healthy, not having cracks, cuts and other things.

Removal of false nails

After a certain time, of course, you will want to remove the stuck product. Perhaps tired or the tips will break or fall off. In any case, there is no need to stock up on an arsenal of funds. It will require the usual nail polish remover. The fact is that most types of glue do not react to many factors, and everything holds tightly to them. But it is the liquid that removes foreign plates instantly. Apply the liquid abundantly on a cotton swab and apply to the nail. As soon as the liquid begins to penetrate under the nail, it will corrode the glue and the nail will disappear by itself.

A longer way is a hot hand bath. In it, you can add chamomile or your favorite oil and hold your hands for about 30 minutes. It will work if the glue is created specifically for nails and does not have impurities that are in the usual "Moment". By the way, never even think about sticking the lining on Moment glue. It can develop a fungus, as well as “burn” the nail plate. Most likely, the consequences will be dire for both the real nail and for the overlay.

Important! Some types of linings can be reused after removal. And some, unfortunately, go to the emission.

Design options

As the design of false nails, you can use everything that is used in the design of ordinary - rhinestones, sequins, rubbed, beads and more. For example, it is possible to cover transparent tips with translucent varnish, lightly fill it with sparkles and make a layer of transparent gel varnish on top. Under the UV lamp nails will be nothing. At the tip of each nail to put on a small rhinestone, and on one of the nails lay out a whole pattern with rhinestones. After all this, also fix the gel polish and send under the lamp.

If you do not have a UV lamp or you just want to do without it, and you want something more creative, take natural, sharp-shaped tips. Paint them black and make a small hole closer to the tip. This is best done with a hot needle. Slip a small earring into each such hole. Such a piercing for nails is sold in any store with nail art. If you want to correct the design of ready-made tips, use a very thin varnish brush.to complement the nail with unusual patterns. You can attach any rhinestones, feathers, even pieces of foil to the nail glue. Fantasy can roam as you please.

Care Tips and Reviews

It is necessary to adhere to the following professional advice:

  • tips, taken from your nails, should be stored in a separate bag, and preferably in a box;
  • try not to be exposed to excessive moisture, otherwise they may become unusable before it is laid;
  • try not to work with chemistry, as it can also damage the manicure itself and the glued product;
  • at least occasionally, let your family rest your feet, so that the fungus does not appear on them, and so that they do not turn yellow.

Judging by the reviews, some girls use false nails constantlywhen they go on vacation, especially on their feet. It is very convenient. More than once in positive reviews, a brand of glue from Deco was mentioned. Swim, go to the sauna - all reviews were extremely positive, as this glue is of good quality. Tips keep for a very long time and never fall off. Other glue firms are also mentioned in girls' comments, but less often. But cheap glue does not differ in its resistance and after 4 days the tipsa already exfoliate.

Some girls wrote that they were ardent users of false nails. But after their nails began to peel and break, they immediately abandoned the case. As it was later explained by the manicurists, low-quality glue was selected. From this it follows that a beautiful and high-quality applied nail is still only 50% of success. It is worth spending more money on glue to make the result worthwhile.

Of course, the ladies did not bypass the advice on choosing the company and the tips themselves. When there is no time for a manicure, and the nails want to be longer, some stick their “on-duty” tips. The plates are not processed, since they are most often glued for 2-3 days. Tipsy for a year after constant manipulation is not damaged. Most often in these cases it was a question of the nail firm Dashing Diva.
