Every girl dreams of beautiful and well-groomed nails. In the modern world, skin, body and nail care treatments are a range of relaxing treatments. This is exactly the time when a girl can relax, stop thinking about some problems and can just enjoy the moment. In addition to all this - after the end of the procedures, the girl becomes also beautiful.

Features

Hands and nails are the first thing that people pay attention to most often (according to a survey of readers of magazines or test items). Based on what they see in front of them, they have an opinion about the person. And everyone wants to see a neat appearance.

But many girls by nature were not given elegant long nails or thin fingers. For some reason, not all ladies can grow on their own to the desired length. They may begin to peel or just break. Neither vitamins nor special care products help to combat this problem.

Therefore, in the modern world, nail extension is so common. First, it is fast in terms of the fact that after the end of the session you will leave the salon with long, well-groomed nails. Secondly, it is the regulation of the length, as well as the opportunity to diversify your image, for example, only for one evening.

But still you should not confuse accrued nails and overhead. Although they are artificial, they are completely different in their qualities. Yes, and overheads have lost their relevance with the advent of building capacity. All because they were inferior in strength and time socks, peeled off and lost at the most inopportune moment that you can not say about acrylic nails.

Materials

Technique and technology do not stand still, they develop, open and expand. The same discoveries also take place in the “nail” industry, when there are more opportunities for creating “beauty”.

Any girl loves to pamper herself with this or that new tool or with the very new technology.

In the world of extended nails, two techniques are in demand. The first is tips. A simple method for extension, through which you get a beautiful shape of the nail, and most importantly - the required length.

    Tipsy

    This is a plastic that mimics any shape of the nail plate. They are often confused with invoices, because they are similar in materials, and are glued to a special glue. But the similarity ends here, because in order to make tips not strongly stand out against the background of a natural nail and were not a foreign object at all, they are polished and rubbed over the boundaries between artificial and natural nails. After that, the desired shape is selected, and a nail is formed with the help of special scissors.

      Such a procedure takes on average up to four hours depending on certain difficulties and skills.

      In order for the result to be perfect and the nail does not look strange, tips should still be selected with the same curvature as your nail, in order to avoid subsequent problems. If you still do not get to the size, then you should choose a material of larger diameter or size.

      Tipsy themselves also have differences. They have their own long form (straight, rounded, sharp, classic, curved), color (white, it’s classic, to be able to repaint the nail, or any other shade) and purpose.

        There are no restrictions on the use of tips, but it is still better to use this material when you have:

        • the nail plate is rather narrow or narrowed in some places (at the base);
        • nails are very short by nature;
        • there are bad habits like nail biting;
        • the form does not meet your expectations and is far from ideal.

        Matrices

        For the second method of nail extension use special forms - matrix. They resemble oblong substrate with a small hole for the nail itself. This substrate is fixed on the surface, while adjusting a good fit. Then put a special gel, through which the edge is formed, that is, indicated by the length. For convenience and to ensure that they are all of the same length, a special demarcated “ruler” is drawn on the matrices, according to which the desired length can be measured.

          After the desired length has been set and the nail has been formed, the plate is removed. Many believe that the nail turns out much thinner than those that are created using tips.

          Such forms are also divided into types for ease of use.

          • Sterile, disposable or mild - this is all the name of the same material that is used to create the nail. They are called so because they are created from a paper base or from thin flexible plastic. And the most important fact: they can be used only once. Due to its lightness and compliance, any contour of the nail can be taken off, removed during the process and put on back. But it is necessary to take into account the fact that due to the soft structure they need to be adjusted under the nail each time.
          • Reusable forms. These matrices are highly dense. They are made from solid plastic, metal. The price tag for such forms is significantly higher than that of the same disposable. But due to its repeated use, it pays for not only its cost, but also subsequent applications. Due to the material from which they are made, quite strong and do not require quick replacement. They are not deformed with time, they exclude the ingress of gel on the nail in those places where it is not needed. But it is worth remembering that it is necessary to select a reusable matrix exactly under the shape and bends of the nail, because “fit” the shape, as in the case of disposable, will not work.

          Unlike tips, matrices look thinner and more natural and light, so they are popular with women.

          Gel and acrylic

          The materials that are most often used to grow nails. Each of these materials has a number of advantages and disadvantages. For example, acrylic nails are lighter; they are easily removed and can be repaired and sanded, unlike those that were formed by gel.

          The gel is heavier, it is removed for a rather long time, it cannot be sanded or is not altered. But their significant advantage is that they look more natural and natural than the same acrylic. Yes, and for strength because of their density, they are better.

          Length

          Every girl in her life at least once increased her artificial nails and knows how this process occurs. But for some ladies such a procedure may be the first, and at this moment, when you are sitting opposite the master, the main thing is not to overdo the length of the nails.

          In the 1990s and 2000s, as soon as there was a popularization of fashion for long legs, many began to make themselves such. Their edge could reach from 2 to 3 centimeters, which, although it was very fashionable and modern at that time, was practically inconvenient in practical terms.

          All household chores were done with difficulty, it was even inconvenient to write with a pen, since the nails did not allow to take it correctly, let alone talk about washing the floor or dishes. In some ways, of course, there were pluses with such a length: the fingers immediately became graceful, long, and more refined. But for those ladies who had never worn long nails before, this was akin to torture. And the fingers are very tired of such severity.

          If you first decided to grow your nails, then try the average length. This is the perfect solution that will be comfortable to wear.And during the correction period, you can vary a little the length, because the nails are already accustomed to such a load and will easily perceive extra millimeters than you would immediately enlarge the nails to the desired length without first preparing them.

          It is worth noting that there is an unspoken rule, which states that the length of the free edge of the enlarged nail should in no case exceed the length of the entire natural plate.

          If this rule is broken and the nail becomes too long, then over time, the artificial nail plate can break.

          size table

          It is quite difficult to say with certainty which length of the nail is minimal and which is optimal, because every girl has her own idea of ​​the standards of beauty and convenience. The choice is influenced by various vital factors that cannot be avoided: work and dress code, cleaning and cooking, as well as personal beliefs.

          Girls working in the service sector and in the office, and women in senior positions, prefer medium length. In the nail design, this length is denoted by the number 2.

          Those who work in the field of entertainment, television, in a word, whose work does not require strict adherence to the dress code, you can choose longer nails (more than average). The corresponding numbers are 3 and 4. Those who work directly with people (doctor, massage therapist), or those who, due to their work, have to type a lot, choose the natural length, which is denoted by 1 in the nail design.

          Many masters advise to build nails gradually, starting with one. All in order for the fingers to get used and not get tired too much. But the trend never changes, and during the correction many girls constantly increase their desired size.

          It is worth noting that the choice of lacquer can play an important role, because if a monochromatic lacquer lengthens the nails visually (this trick works only with light varnishes), then dark colors or three-dimensional drawings are shortened.
