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

A stylish feminine image is created from many nuances: from accessories to original manicure. Well-groomed and beautiful nails are an adornment for any beautiful lady. You can maintain the beauty of your hands with nail modeling. This process involves the application of a special artificial material to the plates to give them strength and a beautiful appearance.

This procedure greatly simplifies the life of women, because caring for the plates comes down to visiting a nail salon 2-3 times a week. Natural nails are more prone to breakage. Simulation can be done in several ways.

• Acrylic. The plate is strengthened with a special powder, which hardens as a result of synthesis with liquid. This material implies professional application, such a procedure is hardly possible at home. Acrylic nails are very durable and beautiful. Removal of the coating takes place with a solution.
• Gel. The most common method for modeling a plate. Gel nails look very natural. The gel is applied to natural nails, and then to tips (or special forms). Perhaps the disadvantage of the gel method is the difficult removal of platinum. This material can only be cut down.
• Textile. The lengthening is done with silk or linen. This method has become obsolete in the modern beauty industry due to its lack of strength. This technique is most often used today to restore a broken plate.

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

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

• shiny and shiny coating;
• lack of a sharp chemical odor;
• coating strength.

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

• do not expose the plates to sudden changes in temperature (in the cold, the material can crack) and to chemicals (clean with rubber gloves);
• try to avoid proximity to open fire (high risk of ignition of the substance);
• do not cut nails with metal files.

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

• persistent smell;
• there is a possibility of an allergic reaction;
• when removed, the natural nail plate is damaged.

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

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

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

• saw off the free edge of the plate (up to 2 mm);
• we polish, removing the natural shine;
• degrease and cover the plates with a primer;
• apply a thin layer of gel and dry it (UV lamp);
• we take the required shape and fix it;
• we give the necessary bend (should coincide with the smile line);
• on the border of the nail and the mold, create a gel base and dry it;
• carefully remove the dispersion layer;
• apply the next layer of gel (abundantly on the border and middle);
• dry (no more than 10 minutes);
• remove the sticky layer of the gel and adjust the smile line with a nail file;
• cover the free edge of the plate with a base layer of gel and dry it again;
• we remove the shapes and fix the nails with a vice (to give the necessary silhouette);
• dry under a lamp for 5-7 minutes and remove the clamps;
• cover with a thin layer of gel polish;
• dry.
