If we consider the procedure for nail extension in the form of an arch with finished products, then it is necessary to act in stages.
- To begin with, preparatory measures are carried out, including the antiseptic treatment of the hands of the master and client.
- Next, you need to prepare the patch plates and degrease the natural nails.

- Dry the surfaces in the lamp for several minutes.
- Apply a thin layer of gel composition to the surface and establish the shape of the plate.
- Dry a little in the lamp.

- Align the nail on the sides with a small layer of gel and cover with a finish.

With such a technique, it is necessary to take into account some important nuances.
- With arched nail extensions, artificial forms are close to natural plates. In the event that there is a gap, there is a risk of penetration of the gel into it.
- The greatest amount of gel is applied to the middle of the plate. This contributes to the strength of your own nails.
Gel modeling is as follows:
- hand treatment with an antiseptic;
- cuticle removal and file cutting;
- degreasing the surface of the plates and applying the base;
- installation on the edge of the plate template with a marking;
- applying a gel agent to the surface of the plate and the template to the desired length;
