False nails: pros and cons, types

Both on holidays and every day, every self-respecting girl tries to look wonderful in everything - weekend shopping, spa after work, shampoo with balm at home. Of course, one should not forget about the hands that can say so much about a person. The desire to make a perfect manicure sometimes makes you visit the most expensive beauty salons. Many people are interested in what to do if a manicure is needed not for one day, but to make time as minimal as possible, if you want something fundamentally new, and you are tired of regular and gel polish. False nails rush to the rescue. And what they are and what to do with them are the answers in our article.

It would seem that there may be types of such overlays that simply stick to their own nail plate. As it turns out, there are several types of nails or tips.

• Transparent marigolds Suitable for fans to experiment with colors and designs. These necessarily require painting, because of the transparent structure your nail is visible. You can apply absolutely any drawings to them, attach rhinestones and other accessories.

• Natural overhead have the look of your own nail. But if you are planning to make a drawing, then this will not always succeed exactly as intended. The fact is that such tipsa already have a skin-colored application, as well as a line of the moon, which is sometimes very difficult to paint even with the most dense varnish.

• Nails with design. It’s quite simple here. No overlap is needed. You just choose the picture and color that you like, stick at home and wear it calmly.But on such overlays, even if you really want to paint over the drawing, most likely, this will not succeed.

All these types are also divided into two more - self-adhesive and those that are attached to glue. Of course, these species differ in the length and shape of the plate. Length ranges from very short to very long. Forms can be completely different: oval, square, sharp, pointed, spade-shaped and others. If you come home, you decide that the shape or length chosen in the store still does not suit you, that is, there is a chance that it will be possible to change the part. But here everything depends on the quality of the purchased nails and the quality of the nail file itself. If the nails are made of the cheapest materials, then with the first touch of the file they will crack in half.

Everything in the world has pros and cons. Overhead tips are no exception. They have the following advantages:

• affordable price - the range of the cost of false nails varies from 100 to 1000 rubles;
• fast gluing - especially suitable for those who are in a hurry somewhere, since already glued products do not need drying;
• a variety of beautiful designs, shapes, types.

Among the shortcomings are the following:

• fragility - pads can be worn with proper care for a week or a half, while gel polish can last up to a month;
• damage to their nails - the tips themselves do not spoil the nail plate, but poor-quality glue can.
• Tipsa can fall off at the most inopportune moment.

It all depends on the care and choice of glue. Until you try it yourself, you don’t understand the quality glue or not. It should not stretch or be lumpy. It should not have a very sharp toxic smell, but it should not look like PVA. Glue for repairing nails in this case is also suitable. He perfectly grasps the tipsa tip with his native plate.

Care for such nails is simple. But while wearing, you should refrain from taking hot baths or visiting baths and saunas. Household chores are best done with gloves on. Most of all it concerns the interaction of hands with chemicals. After gluing, it is best if you don’t rush anywhere and don’t do anything with your hands for two hours, which could damage the manicure. And for six hours, do not wet your hands so that the glue dries properly.

To glue false nails, it is worth following a few steps

• In order to make your unique manicure in accordance with all the rules, preparation is required. To get started, remove all the nails from the package and try on. The main thing is not to confuse which pad corresponds to your own nail. Arrange them in order in front of you.
• Preparing your nails. Soften and remove the cuticle with a special stick. Work the plate with a file, the side that removes the ribbing from its own plate. And also file the nails to the desired length, they should in no case be longer than the overlays. Wipe off the varnish, if any, with the usual varnish remover.
• Degreasing your plate with nail polish remover is not enough. Treat each nail with a lint-free alcohol-containing cloth.

• Getting to gluing. If the tips are self-adhesive, then remove the protective film and glue exactly along the line of the moon. If it is required to apply glue, then we apply it exclusively on the patch with a thin layer. Depending on the glue, you need to wait a while, and not glue immediately. Most often, this time is written on the tube. Usually no more than 1 minute. We glue it very carefully, as if driving a little under the removed cuticle.
• That's not all. After you have made sure that all the beauty is glued evenly, at least for half an hour do nothing with it. Better cling to your plate.
• Treatment. This includes adjusting the plate if it is wider than the nail. Correction of shape and length. Do not use a metal file, it can damage even quality tips.
• If required, then this step is painting the lining. Application of varnish, design, piercing and much more.

After a certain time, of course, you will want to remove the glued products. Perhaps you get tired or the tip breaks, or falls off. In any case, there is no need to stock up on an arsenal of funds. You will need the usual nail polish remover. The fact is that most types of glue do not respond to many factors, and everything holds tight to them. But it is the liquid that removes foreign plates instantly. Apply the fluid liberally to a cotton swab and apply to the nail. As soon as the liquid begins to penetrate under the nail, it will corrode the glue and the nail will fall off by itself.

A longer way is a hot hand bath. You can add chamomile or your favorite oil to it and hold your hands for about 30 minutes. This will work if the glue is created specifically for nails and does not have the impurities that are in the usual “Moment”. By the way, never even think of sticking pads on the Moment glue. This can develop a fungus, as well as “burn” the nail plate. Most likely, the consequences will be disastrous for both a real nail and a false nail.

As the design of false nails, you can use everything that is used in the design of ordinary ones - rhinestones, sequins, rub, beads and more. For example, it is possible to cover transparent tips with a translucent varnish, fill it up slightly with sparkles and make a layer of transparent gel polish on top. There will be nothing under the UV lamp. On the tip of each nail, plant a small strass on the rhinestone, and on one of the nails lay a whole pattern with rhinestones. After all this, also fix with gel polish and send under the lamp.

If you do not have a UV lamp or if you just want to do without it, and want something more creative, take natural tips of a sharp shape. Paint them black and make a small hole closer to the tip. This is best done with a hot needle. Insert a small earring into each such hole. Such a nail piercing is sold at any nail art store. If you want to adjust the design of ready-made tips, use a very thin brush for varnishto complement the nail with unusual patterns. You can attach any rhinestones, feathers, even pieces of foil to the glue for nails. Fantasy can go free as you wish.

It is worth following the advice of professionals:

• tips taken off their nails should be stored in a separate bag, and preferably in a box;
• try so that they are not exposed to excessive moisture, otherwise they may become unusable earlier than laid down;
• try not to work with chemistry, as it can also damage the manicure itself and the glued product;
• at least occasionally let your native nails rest so that they do not appear on the fungus and that they do not turn yellow.

Judging by the reviews, some girls use false nails constantlywhen they go on vacation, especially on their feet. It is very comfortable. More than once in positive reviews, the brand of Deco glue was mentioned. Swimming, visiting the sauna - all reviews were extremely positive, since this glue is of good quality. Tips last for a very long time and never fall off. Other glue companies are also mentioned in the comments of the girls, but less frequently. But cheap glue does not differ in its durability and after 4 days the tips already peel off.

Some girls wrote that they were ardent users of false nails.But after their nails began to peel and break, they immediately abandoned this business. As was later explained by manicure masters, low-quality glue was selected. It follows that a beautiful and high-quality false nail is only 50% success. It’s worth spending more money on glue so that the result is worthwhile.

Of course, the ladies did not bypass the advice on choosing the company and the tips themselves. When there is absolutely no time for manicure, and you want longer nails, some people stick on-duty tips. They do not deal with the processing of the plate, since most often they are glued for 2-3 days. Tips during the year after constant manipulation were not damaged. Most often in these cases, it was a nail firm Dashing Diva.
