Aligning the nail plate with a base for gel polish

There are some things and phenomena in the world that you can contemplate endlessly. Everyone knows that this is water and flame. But fashionistas can watch for hours of bright glare on their nails. But sometimes a surprise in the form of an uneven nail plate spoils the impression of a manicure, and the varnish does not lie on a completely even layer. It is worth considering how to avoid such a problem and how to deal with it.

All nails have their own individual texture. Those girls who do not have problems by nature are even and without flaws. But someone is the owner of nails with an uneven surface, over brittle and sensitive. And during the manicure procedure, the nails are subjected to additional tests in the form of sawdust, grinding, hardware actions, which creates an additional load on the nails. You need to align the nails in order to form their correct architecture. In addition, this will prevent such troubles as leakage of varnish, uneven coating, coloring of the cuticle area.

Alignment takes place in the following two steps:

• the first layer is a primer, designed to mask defects in the nail;
• the second is the finish, thanks to the even spreading of the base, the nail takes a natural even form, vanishing in the area of ​​cuticle growth; the result is a perfectly flat nail surface that is ready for decoration.

Leveling the surface of the nail is an important stage of manicure. It has advantages such as:

• an opportunity to strengthen nails in addition and to extend the term of wear of a decorative covering;
• creating a geometrically correct surface of the nail, which will give the right direction of its growth;
• simplicity of the procedure - time takes no more than 15 minutes, and additional funds for its implementation are not required; it is important to carry out the alignment procedure in the event that the previous manicure is removed by the device, since it is necessary to leave the base layer intact to further protect the nail from external influences;
• aesthetics - a flat nail plate will make glossy glare of nails after applying a decorative coating ideal.

As already noted, there is no need to purchase special tools for this stage of manicure. The equalizer can be the means that each nail master has, namely:

• leveling base for gel polishes;
• strengthening biogel;
• gels for nail extension;
• acrylic Powder.

The easiest way to align the nail plate is to use gel polish. This method is even for a beginner. First of all, you should pay attention to the bottle with the base - the label "with rubber" should be written on it. Rubber makes the composition more viscous, thick and ductile. It is thanks to this rubber consistency that the depressions are filled and the tubercles on the nail are aligned, the arch of the correct form is formed. The advantages of this method are as follows:

• a rubber base is usually self-leveling;
• eliminates natural defects of the nail;
• application speed.

There is an option to align the nail with biogel. Its plus is that it not only smooths the nail, but also treats it thanks to the vitamin-mineral complexes in the composition, proteins and resins. Biogel has such advantages as:

• natural composition;
• therapeutic effect;
• accelerated nail growth;
• ease of stripping.

The third option is the alignment of the nail plate with gel. It is worth remembering that the gel can not be removed with a solvent - it can only be cut with a manicure machine or an abrasive file. The composition of the gel is relatively non-toxic and safe. It well covers and strengthens the nail, providing an even decorative coating and its resistance to external factors.

Finally, you can use acrylic powder for leveling. Everyone knows that acrylic is used for nail extension. However, this material is very versatile. It is more difficult to work with it than with the above equalizers, but in the end you will definitely be happy with the result. Acrylic powder perfectly strengthens the nails, serves as a strong foundation for broken nails, allows you to ensure the durability of the coating for a long time. The choice of method and material for aligning the nail plate is yours, but remember that you should not be too complex due to small natural defects of the nails.

It is clear that the leveling layer on the nail is not the basis of manicure at all. Before applying it, the pens go through a series of procedures - filing the nail, removing the cuticle, polishing, applying the main primer and then the base layer. Self-leveling occurs in several stages.

If this is a base for gel polish, then they are as follows:

1. First, apply a thin layer of the base to the nail and dry it for several minutes in a special lamp;
2. then, with a brush, leave a large drop of the base in the center of the nail, and then move it to its upper point, simultaneously simulating roundness and a C-shaped bend;
3. do not press the brush too hard; bending modeling is carried out by the very tip of the brush;
4. for a final check and a perfectly even layer, turn the nail down with a coating - gravity itself will correct micro-errors;
5. Do not forget about the end side of the marigold - process it last.

When aligning the nail with biogel, the scheme, in fact, is the same:

1. first ground the nail with a thin layer and dry it in the lamp;
2. then evenly distribute a large drop of gel over the nail, starting from the top point and moving to the tip; follow the correct formation of the bend of the nail - there should be less on the sides of the biogel rollers;
3. Do not forget to turn the finger over for gravitational alignment at the end.

When applying acrylic-based powder as a leveling layer, there are some working features, such as:

1. first, apply a thin layer of base on the filed and formed nail and dry it;
2. then, as described above, distribute a large drop of the base, and sprinkle powder on it already;
3. after drying the nail in the lamp, remove excess powder with a brush or brush, irregularities can be removed with a file;
4. close the acrylic coating at the end with the top layer of the base;
5. Then you can apply a decorative coating with the selected design and top.

In general, if nails by nature have bumps and roughness, then it is worth trying to find the root cause of such problems. The main sources of defects may include the following:

• immunological diseases;
• hormonal disorders;
• skin diseases such as psoriasis and lichen planus;
• weakened immunity, general body fatigue;
• nail fungus;
• injuries.

You can try to rectify the situation using popular advice. One of these techniques are the baths, which have a strengthening and general healing effect. An example is an oil-based hand bath: mix a few tablespoons of olive, castor and vegetable oils and heat in a water bath. Marigolds should be kept in the composition for at least 20-25 minutes.

As for practical tips when aligning the nail plate with nail tools, here are the recommendations are as follows:

• after alignment, inspect the nail from the side and from the end: you must track the correct arch-shaped bend with clear boundaries in the center of the nail;
• check the coating not only by eye, but also by light: glare on the nails should be even and clear, without any creases and refractions.

Advice on how to make a coating with perfect glare: here you can not do without a round lamp. The gloss of the nail primarily depends on the light source. When using a conventional lamp, the flare can be of any shape (from square to corner). With a round lamp, it will become perfect and regular in round shape. You can use an ordinary table lamp, but the main thing is the form. It is enough to hold the nail under it for 15–20 seconds, and then place your fingers in the lamp to polymerize the coating.

In the race for well-groomed handles and stylish manicure, do not forget that in the first place the nails need proper care. You should not rely only on the wonders of the nail industry and the professionalism of the master. It is extremely important to eat properly and variably, to carry out cosmetic medical procedures for nails (baths, masks, massage), to protect your hands from aggressive environmental factors. Only then will your fingers shine with beauty and health to the very tips.
