Thanks to arch modeling, even the longest extended nails acquire a natural bend and look natural and beautiful. And vice versa, if the masters neglect this technology, then as a result the marigolds look very ridiculous and artificial.
Characteristic
From a conventional gel nail extension, this type differs only in the use of special clamps to create a bend. The fact is that our nails by nature have a small C-bend in a transverse section. If we build up nails on tips, then it is already laid in the form of the workpiece itself (but not so pronounced).
There are situations when your nails are devoid of this beautiful bend. Then it is arch modeling that can save the situation. After all, if you leave everything as it is, then the extended nails will more resemble small shoulder blades. In addition, the strength of the nail itself will increase, which will be the key to a long and trouble-free wear.
Benefits
Arched nail modeling has several advantages over conventional. That's why it remains at the peak of popularity, despite all the new technologies that have appeared in recent times.
- This technology allows you to hide all the flaws of a natural nail. In addition, if you have the irregular shape of the nails by nature, then modeling with a gel will correct this and set the correct direction of growth.
- Beautiful and natural bend. This can not be achieved either with ordinary varnish or shellac. The gel, the shape of which is attached using the form and clamps, easily copes with this task.
- This manicure has a high degree of strength. The nails will be protected by a fairly thick layer of gel, and due to the bend they will not cling and will become more resistant to small shocks.
- All nails will have the same length and shape, which is the key to any beautiful and accurate manicure.
- You can cover the finished form with both regular varnish and gel varnish. At the same time, the coating will last much longer than on natural nails, due to the strength and static design.
- You are not limited in the choice of the shape of the nail. It can be either a square (or soft square), or an oval or almond shape. A beautiful bend will only emphasize the beauty of the chosen option.
- You are not limited in the choice of nail design. The extension can be done immediately in color or leave a field for imagination. In this case, you can choose the style and design of your own free will. It can also be changed without performing a correction, but simply by removing the old coating.
- With arched modeling, the thickness of the nail will be significantly less than with nail extensions. In addition, only with this type of nail modeling can the growth direction be corrected (especially if the nails tend to bend down).
- Separately, it is worth noting the strength of the free edge. After all, it is he who most often breaks off during operation. If you have repeatedly encountered this problem, then try arched modeling.
Contraindications
Despite all the positive aspects, there are situations when it will be impossible to build up with arched modeling (however, like any other). The fact is that under certain conditions our body will interact worse with the gel and reject it. As a result, delamination is inevitable.
- Chemotherapy. During this period, the body spends a lot of energy on recovery, and additional load and physical impact will be superfluous. Yes, and the nails are likely to hold on badly.
- Change in hormonal levels. It can be age periods or pregnancy. Most clients note that under such conditions, the nails begin to peel off very quickly. In addition, during pregnancy, it is better to protect yourself from such procedures. First, you will inevitably have to breathe the dust that forms as a result of sawdust. Secondly, the smell of acrylic or gel can cause undesirable consequences.
- The use of antibiotics and some other drugs.
- Infectious and inflammatory processes that occur in the body.
Even a small cold can affect the strength of the gel with the nail.
Features
Arched modeling is a rather complicated procedure. For its ideal implementation, a certain experience is required. In addition, the masters are familiar with some secrets that are the key to an ideal manicure. We will share some of them with you right now.
- Pay particular attention to nail preparation. They must be degreased before applying the base coat. In addition, opil also matters. The final result and the service life depend on these factors.
- Use only professional materials and tools. They are more expensive than their counterparts. But this is not just a whim of manufacturers.
Only high-quality materials can make the extension, which will last on the nails for more than one week. In addition, low-quality materials can cause allergic reactions in the client.
- Arched extension technology requires some experience and knowledge of the structure of the nail (as well as those problems that may be present). Trust your nails only to professionals. They will determine what material (gel or acrylic) is suitable in your case. They will also advise the optimal form and even design for you.
- It is important to choose the right template for building and install it correctly on your finger. Even a small error or a gap between it and the nail will lead to a deterioration of the final result.
- When applied, the material must not be allowed to get on the skin. In the future, this will lead to rapid exfoliation. Even if the material was removed during the sawdust phase.
- Beautiful bending is achieved not only through special clamps, but also due to the correct determination of the thickness. At the edges it should be minimal, and in the center - the maximum allowable.
- A good master will certainly take into account your wishes.
Each of us is individual and has our own ideas about the beautiful. And even if the master is sure that the design you have chosen will look rather vulgar or inappropriate, he can only warn you about this, but not impose his point of view.
Step by step execution
- 1 step. First you need to get rid of the old nail coating. If this is a simple varnish, then remove it with a liquid. We remove the grown nails or shellac with special tools.
- 2 step. We cut off the free edge to a value of 1.5 mm and make it even. All nails should be the same length. We use a file for natural nails.
- 3 step. Apply a remover to the cuticle and remove it. On the surface of the nail plate we pass a buff.
- 4 step. Next comes the primer. We put it on the nail and wait until it is completely dry.
- 5 step. Apply a base coat. Make sure that it does not come into contact with the cuticle. On the sides, it should not touch the skin.
- 6 step. Now it is time to install the template (or form). Try it on the nail and cut to the desired size. The shape should fit snugly to the nail. There should not be even the slightest gap between her and her fingernail. We fix the sticky ends on the finger and once again check the accuracy of the installation.
- 7 step. We take a brush and apply a small layer of gel on the free edge and area on the form, dry it. Next, we drive in the gel (this will ensure reliable adhesion of the gel and natural nail) of the entire surface. Dry again.
- 8 step. We remove the sticky layer, slightly file the smile zone with a nail file and again spread the gel, simulating the future shape.
- 9 step. Remove the sticky layer, remove the forms and take special clips. We attach them to the nail and adjust to the desired degree of bending and tightness of pressure to the nail. In the UV lamp, we fix the result.
- 10 step. We remove the clamps and produce sawdust. At this stage, all parts of the nail should be processed: the free edge, arch, lower walls of the nail.
- 11 step. It remains only to fix everything with the finish and dry it.
Arched nail modeling does not lose its popularity. It allows you to create a beautiful shape that will delight you for more than one week. You are free to choose the length, shape and design of your own free will.
