How to build nails using the base?

Every woman tries to make her fingers beautiful and well-groomed. Often, girls use the procedure for building marigolds. In this case, it is possible to obtain strong nail plates of the desired length and shape. Various materials are used to build artificial nails. Consider a special composition for manicure, called the base.

The product looks like a transparent thick varnish. It is applied to the nail as the first, base layer before the procedure of building or applying manicure.

The base varnish performs several functions.

• The composition makes the adhesion of the nail plate with a varnish coating, including gel varnishes and acrylic, as well as decorative elements, more durable. For nail extensions, applying a base coat is a must.
• Application of the composition performs a decorative function. The varnish base smooths the surface of the marigold, hides minor defects.
• The tool protects the natural nail from the negative, traumatic effects of chemicals. Many components of varnishes and builders are very aggressive. The base coat is a good barrier protecting the nail.

In stores you will come across a large assortment of base coat. Naturally, not all of them are the same. Bases differ in their constituent components, action, and appearance.

• Rubber basecoat. The most common variety of this tool. Rubber elements make the composition very thick and dense.It lays well and evenly on the nail plate, protecting it and providing reliable adhesion. Too many manicure masters use just such a base for the implementation of nail extensions.

• Silicone base. Not as dense as the rubber above. It is produced most often in the form of a self-adhesive sticker that is superimposed on the plate. A significant advantage of this basic coating is the ease of its removal. To remove from nails do not need to use aggressive solvents.

• Often used to build nails base product based on acrylic powder. There are not only transparent, but also its colored varieties. The layer of such a frozen base is very durable, but breathable. The composition is more gentle and less traumatic for nails.

• Camouflage base coat. The tool is convenient to use, as it immediately combines three components: the basic composition, top and gel polish. Thanks to the last component, this base is very easy and even to apply. It can be used at home.

• Vitamin-based essentials contain a nutritious firming complex. This allows you to combine beautiful manicure with benefits for natural nails. Most often, such bases contain vitamins E, A and D. These substances are necessary to maintain the strength and health of nails. They stimulate the processes of regeneration and natural renewal of the cells of the nail plate.

• Water base can be used only as a coating for applying ordinary varnish. The plus is that its composition is the least aggressive. The emulsion base is not contraindicated even for people suffering from allergies and pregnant women. To dry the layer of this base, you do not need to use special lamps, this happens naturally. True, the drying time of the applied manicure is significantly increased.

Many are interested in the question of whether it is possible to build up nails with a base. In principle, most varieties of this product after solidification are made quite durable and can hold their shape. However, nail base extension is not possible in all cases.

• Water-based formulations, as well as camouflage combination products will not cope with this task. They do not have a solid structure even after complete drying.
• If you want a longer length of an artificial nail, then it is better to turn to more suitable materials for building: acrylic or gel polish.
• The base can build a small nail. It is convenient to use this tool to "repair" a broken or chipped nail.
• The best base for building long nails is an acrylic base.
