Not only a manicure makes a woman beautiful, but also well-groomed toenails. In recent years, many ladies have been wondering if it is worth building toenails and how to do it right.
Benefits of Scaling Up
Many women are surprised at why it is necessary to carry out nail extension on the legs and why this service is becoming more and more popular every day. It should be noted that this procedure is not carried out in order to make the nails longer, but in order to provide them with an attractive appearance and achieve maximum strength.
Of course, resorting to a similar procedure should be in the summerwhen everyone wears open shoes and strives to look as irresistible as possible. Due to the fact that the master applies an acrylic coating on the nails, a protective layer is formed. In addition, nail extension allows you to correct the shape of the overgrown part, stretching it a little and changing the shape. The fact is that not every girl can boast of attractive and perfect nails that do not need correction.
There are other benefits to building toenails.
- Using this procedure, you can provide your nails with a more well-groomed and neat appearance. In addition, the extension makes it possible to maintain a manicure for a long time, so that the legs remain attractive for as long as possible. This is extremely important for ladies who relax on the sea or spend a lot of time on foreign business trips. Properly extended nails will look smooth and even, and any coating will hold for a long period of time.
- The extension of nails on the legs makes it possible to get rid of such a problem as ingrown plates. If the nail plate is bent and cannot boast of an attractive appearance, then you can apply acrylic or a special gel. A few days after building up, the nails will acquire a healthy appearance, and the pain will completely disappear.
- Nail extension also protects nails from damage. Most women claim that the unattractive appearance of nails is caused by the constant pressure of closed shoes. The extension will be an ideal barrier against any mechanical damage, and also will not allow delamination.
With the correct procedure, delamination and brittleness can be completely eliminated.
Contraindications
Despite the fact that nail extension is a normal procedure, it has a number of contraindications. For the most part, they are relative, so that you can first fix the problems, and then resort to this procedure. Among the main restrictions on nail extension on the legs are the following:
- taking antibacterial drugs;
- the presence of nail diseases, including fungus;
- it is better to refrain from carrying out the procedure if the feet are damaged;
- the presence of abrasions and wounds, as well as any inflammatory reactions in the body;
- if a few days before the procedure, other manipulations were performed on the toenails;
- intolerance to the substances that make up the gel or varnish;
- if there are growths.
Masters also do not recommend building people who suffer from bleeding disorders. The fact is that with skin damage, such clients may have problems. Also, building is not recommended for patients with diabetes, people with endocrine problems and heart disease.
Procedure Technology
Toenails can be increased not only in the salon, but also at home. The build-up technology is quite simple and involves several stages, which must be sequentially performed in order to achieve the desired effect.
- Disinfection. Natural plastics need to be processed using a special solution for degreasing.
- After the base is ready, acrylic or gel should be applied to it. The choice of a particular material depends not only on the preferences of the woman, but also on the type of building.
- If you need to shape the nails, then you should fix the tips, which will give the desired size, length, width and shape.
- After the material is applied to the nail, it will be necessary to dry the solution. If the extension was carried out using a gel, then you will have to use special ultraviolet lamps.
- Sawing can be done only after the nail is completely dry. This stage makes it possible to give the pedicure an attractive and well-groomed appearance.
Of course, this is not the whole process of building up. Of no small importance is their design, on which attractiveness and overall appearance depend. The applied drawings can be almost any. In this case, everything is limited only by the imagination of the master.
Necessary materials and tools
The right choice of materials and tools is the key to high-quality toenails. Since they will be in direct contact with the nail plate, you need to select materials that do not include any harmful substances. It is best to give preference to sets from well-known and trusted companies that have already established themselves on the positive side.
In the process of building up with acrylic, it is necessary to take into account the composition of the applied powder and liquid. It is considered ideal if the powder is moderately friable, and no impurities are included in its composition.
Gel extension also requires the most accurate selection of materials.The kit should include a starting color gel, as well as finishing options.
In the process of choosing a gel, you need to be guided by its strength, since the grown nails are fragile and in case of damage it will not be possible to carry out a correction.
Any complete set for building toenails includes not only gel and acrylic powder, but also special forms for building. It is necessary to apply them only if the natural nail has a small length. In addition, some kits include nail extension tips, which are an artificial plate of a certain length.
A distinctive feature of acrylic is that it consists of powder and liquid. It takes about 45 seconds to solidify, and they can only be removed using a special solution. The removal process will take no more than 25 minutes and will not be harmful to natural nails. The main advantage of acrylic nails is that they can be restored after breakage or damage. That is why such material is actively used to eliminate any imperfections in nails, especially if they are short.
Follow-up care
Caring for extended nails is a complex and responsible process. If you do not pay proper attention to it, then soon the nails will again lose their attractive appearance, and the results of the procedure will be nullified. It is easy to build up nails, but not every girl can provide them with the proper level of care.
The most important rule - you will need to refuse to wear tight shoes, especially if the extended nails are quite long. This can not only harm them, but also cause fungal diseases, as a result of which it will be necessary to remove the installed materials.
It is possible that in the future it will be necessary to carry out corrections. In most cases, extended nails need to be adjusted about once a month. If you want to get rid of them yourself, then you can simply cut off the edges of the nails as they grow, until the material is completely eliminated.
Conclusion
Thus, nail extension is a unique procedure that allows you to eliminate age-related changes in the legs and other problems in an adult. The use of modern materials and technologies allows you to quickly build them up at home. Such a procedure will be relevant for girls who have nails growing slowly or poorly, or those who cannot accelerate growth and affect the growth rate with the help of special preparations and vitamins.
