Lamination of nails is a cosmetic procedure, which involves covering the nails with a transparent film, contributing to their protection from adverse factors and a beautiful appearance.
Features
Female pens should always look well-groomed, since it is on them that people around, first of all, pay attention. According to the state of the hands, you can determine the lifestyle of the lady and her attitude to self-care. The sphere of nail art in recent years has stepped far forward, enriched with various means of care, restoration and giving the nails a beautiful appearance.
Lamination of nails must be performed when the nail plate is exhausted (thin, easily broken) and overdried. As a rule, such consequences can be caused by a number of reasons:
- prolonged wearing of gel polish;
- regular extension of the nail plates;
- unbalanced nutrition;
- a small amount of fluid consumed by a person;
- negative effects of chemicals.
The essence of the procedure
The main function of lamination is to restore the surface of the nail. This includes: alignment, nutrition with minerals and vitamins. The system includes a special paste and powder, which fill the irregularities on the nail and give the plate an aesthetically attractive appearance. The applied product is not removed from the nails until the second procedure, which allows the nails to heal continuously. The tool smoothes the effect on the nails of aggressive agents and other external factors.
Ensure the evenness of the nail plate and give it a nice glossy shine after the first lamination. The procedure is carried out in two stages, and it can be done both in the beauty salon and at home.
To carry out lamination, you will need the lamination system itself and manicure tools. Both stages should be worked out on a solid five, then the final result will please you.
The purpose of the first stage is to work with the cuticle and lunula. Serums of different orientations are applied to previously cleaned nails and cuticles. At the same time, a massage is carried out, which provides blood flow to the fingers, improving the absorption of serums. The latter have a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect. They saturate the nail and cuticle with moisture, a vitamin complex, and remove dead skin particles. Immediately after applying the tools, a trimmed or European manicure is performed.
At the second stage of lamination, the nail is covered with fruit oil based oil and then with varnish serum. It is selected for each girl individually based on existing problems with the nails. You can choose a remedy with a vitamin complex and protein or other components. After the lamination is completed, it is allowed to cover the nails with decorative colored varnish and perform any design as desired.
The lamination procedure has a medical focus and gives a long cumulative effect.
Who will suit
Anyone who needs it can afford the procedure of laminating nails. Very often, people who work in warehouses for sorting fruits and vegetables, deal with metal or wood, wash floors, nails are weakened and easily chip, break. Damaged cuticles with burrs and uneven edges of the nail plate not only interfere with work, but also cause discomfort, and even pain. During the lamination procedure, the edge of the nail is sealed, gaining elasticity, which avoids its possible breaking off.
Lamination can be done on nails of any type and length for both women and men.
Types of Lamination
Biogels are used for lamination, which may slightly differ in their properties and application process. But these products are dried the same way - under a UV lamp. The great advantage of biogels is that, restoring the nail plate and giving it an attractive appearance, they allow the nail to “breathe”. Biogel does not crack and remains intact on the nail for about 2-3 weeks.
Such a tool is suitable for brittle, thinned nails. It will allow you to “glue” the surface well, then to cover it with decorative varnish. Before applying the product, the nail plates must be aligned and degreased. Then apply a very thin layer of gel, dry in a UV lamp for 2 minutes. Repeat the procedure again. Then apply the finish. Dry, remove the sticky layer. Further, the nail can be coated with ordinary varnish or gel polish.
Another way of laminating is using wax. This technique is today very popular among girls with problem nails. The second name of this technique is Japanese manicure. At the heart of the tool:
- powder;
- beeswax;
- particles of pearl.
You can perform wax lamination in the salon or at home. Pre-done hygienic manicure. Then a paste is taken, squeezed onto a sponge, where it must be evenly distributed over the surface. Gently rub the paste into the nail. After the nail plate is closed with a special film having protective functions. The applied product fills the bumps and cracks in the nails, gives the surface a glossy shine. A decorative varnish can be applied on top.
Repeat wax lamination is recommended monthly.
The third method of lamination is using polishing. Unlike other products, it aims to demonstrate the natural beauty of marigolds.You can perform the procedure in a nail salon or at home. Such lamination can be carried out daily. As a result, you get a durable, smooth and shiny nail frame that can "breathe" and absorb all the nutrients from the outside.
