Features of choosing the length of extended nails

Every girl dreams of beautiful and well-groomed nails. In the modern world, skin, body and nail care procedures are a number of relaxing therapies. This is exactly the time when a girl can relax, stop thinking about some problems and can simply enjoy the moment. Plus to all this - after the end of the procedures, the girl also becomes beautiful.

Hands and nails - this is the first thing people pay attention to most often (according to a survey of readers of magazines or test items). Based on what they see in front of them, they have an opinion about a person. And everyone wants to see a neat appearance.

But many girls by nature were not given graceful long nails or delicate fingers. For a number of reasons, not all ladies can grow on their own to the desired length. They may begin to flake or just break. Neither vitamins nor special care products help fight this problem.

Therefore, in the modern world, the procedure for nail extension is so widespread. Firstly, it’s fast in terms of the fact that after the end of the session you will leave the salon with long manicured nails. Secondly, it is the regulation of length, as well as the ability to diversify your image, for example, only for one evening.

But still do not confuse extended nails and false. Although they are artificial, they are completely different in quality. Yes, and invoices have lost their relevance with the advent of the possibility of building up. This is because they were inferior in strength and time to socks, peeled off and lost at the most inopportune moment, which cannot be said about acrylic nails.

Engineering and technology do not stand still, they develop, open and expand. The same discoveries occur in the "nail" industry, when there are more opportunities to create "beauty".

Any girl loves to pamper herself with this or that new tool or that very new technology.

In the world of extended nails, two techniques are in demand. The first is tips. A simple method for building, thanks to which a beautiful nail shape is obtained, and most importantly - the required length.

This is a plastic that mimics any shape of a nail plate. They are often confused with invoices, because they are similar in materials, and they are glued to special glue. But the similarity ends here, because so that the tips do not stand out against the background of a natural nail and are not a foreign object at all, they are sanded, wiped off the borders between artificial and natural nails. After that, the desired shape is selected, and a nail is formed using special scissors.

Such a procedure takes up to four hours on average, depending on some difficulties and skills.

In order for the result to be perfect and the nail does not look strange, you still need to select the tips with the same bend as your nail, in order to avoid subsequent problems. If you still can’t get into size, then you should choose a material of a larger diameter or size.

Tips themselves also have differences. They have their own long shape (straight, rounded, sharp, classic, curved), color (white, it’s also classic to be able to repaint the nail, or any other shade) and purpose.

There are no restrictions on the use of tips, but it's better to use this material when you have:

• the nail plate is rather narrow or narrowed in some places (at the base);
• nails are very short by nature;
• there are such bad habits as biting nails;
• the form does not meet your expectations and is far from ideal.

For the second method of nail extension, special forms are used - matrices. They resemble oblong substrates with a small hole for the nail itself. This substrate is fixed to the surface, while regulating a good fit. Then a special gel is applied, thanks to which the edge is formed, that is, the length is indicated. For convenience, and so that they are all of the same length, a special delimited “ruler” is drawn on the matrices, according to which the desired length can be measured.

After the desired length has been set and the nail has been formed, the plate is removed. Many believe that the nail is much thinner than those created using nail tips.

Such forms are also divided into types for ease of use.

• Sterile, Disposable or Soft - this is all the name of the same material that is used to create the nail. They are called so because they are created from a paper base or from thin bendable plastic. And the most important fact: they can be used only once. Due to its lightness and flexibility, they can take any contour of the nail, are removed during the process and put on back. But it is worth considering that due to the soft structure they must be adjusted each time under the nail.

• Reusable forms. These matrices are characterized by high density. They are made of hard plastic, metal. The price tag for such forms is much higher than for the same disposable ones. But due to their repeated use, they pay off not only their cost, but also subsequent applications. Due to the material from which they are made, they are quite strong and do not require quick replacement. They do not deform over time, exclude the gel from getting on the nail in those places where it is not needed. But it is worth remembering that it is necessary to select a reusable matrix exactly under the shape and bends of the nail, because it will not work to “fit” the form, as in the case of disposable ones.

The materials that are most often used to build up nails. Each of these materials has a number of advantages and disadvantages. For example, acrylic nails are lighter, can be easily removed and can be repaired and polished, unlike those that were formed by gel.

The gel is heavier, is removed for a long time, does not lend itself to polishing or is not altered. But their significant advantage is that they look more natural and natural than the same acrylic. And in terms of strength, because of their density, they are of better quality.

Every girl in her life at least once built herself artificial nails and knows how this process occurs. But for some ladies, this procedure may be the first, and at this moment, when you are sitting opposite the master, the main thing is not to overdo it with the length of the nails.

In the 1990s and 2000s, as soon as the fashion for long nails was popularized, many began to make themselves such. Their edge could reach from 2 to 3 centimeters, which, although it was very fashionable and modern at that time, was practically inconvenient in practical terms.

All household chores were done with difficulty, it was even inconvenient to write with a pen, since the nails did not allow taking it correctly, to say nothing of washing the floor or dishes. In something, of course, there were pluses with such a length: the fingers immediately became graceful, long and more refined. But for those ladies who had never before worn long nails, it was akin to torture. And my fingers were very tired of such a severity.

If you first decided to grow your nails, then try the average length. This is an ideal solution that will be comfortable to wear. And during the correction period, you can vary the length a little, because the nails are already accustomed to such a load and can easily take extra millimeters than you immediately increase the nails to the desired length without first preparing them.

It is worth noting that there is an unwritten rule, which states that the length of the free edge of the extended nail should in no case exceed the length of the entire natural plate.

If this rule is violated and the nail is extended too much, then over time the artificial nail plate may break.

It is difficult to say with accuracy which nail length is minimum and which is optimal, because each girl has her own idea of ​​the standards of beauty and convenience. The choice is influenced by various life factors that cannot be avoided: work and a dress code, cleaning and cooking, as well as personal beliefs.

Girls working in the service sector and in the office, and women in senior positions, prefer medium length. In a “nail” design, this length is indicated by the number 2.

Those who work in the field of entertainment, on television, in a word, whose work does not require strict observance of the dress code, can choose longer nails (more than average). The corresponding numbers are 3 and 4. Those who work directly with people (a doctor, a massage therapist), or those who, due to their work, have to print a lot, choose the natural length, which is designated 1 in the “nail” design.

Many masters advise building up nails gradually, starting with a unit. All for the sake of fingers getting used to and not getting tired too much. But the trend never changes, and during the correction, many girls constantly increase the desired size.
