Nail lamination: what is it and how to do it?
Lamination of nails is a cosmetic procedure that involves covering the nails with a transparent film, which helps to protect them from adverse factors and to make them look beautiful.
Peculiarities
Women's pens should always look well-groomed, as those around them, first of all, pay attention to them. By the condition of the hands, one can determine the lady's lifestyle and her attitude to self-care. The sphere of nail art in recent years has stepped far forward, enriched with a variety of care products, restoration and giving marigolds a beautiful appearance.
Nail lamination should be performed when the nail plate is depleted (thin, easily breaks) and overdried. As a rule, such consequences can be caused by a number of reasons:
- prolonged wearing of gel polish;
- regular extension of nail plates;
- unbalanced diet;
- a small amount of liquid consumed by a person;
- negative effects of chemicals.
The essence of the procedure
The main function of lamination is to restore the surface of the nail. This includes: alignment, nutrition with minerals and vitamins. The system includes a special paste and powder that fill in the irregularities of the nail and give the plate an aesthetically pleasing look. The applied product is not removed from the nails until the second procedure, which allows the nails to heal continuously. The tool smooths out the influence of aggressive agents and other external factors on the nails.
You can ensure the evenness of the nail plate and give it a pleasant glossy shine after the first lamination. The procedure is carried out in two stages, and it can be done both in a beauty salon and at home.
To carry out lamination, you will need the lamination system itself and manicure tools. Both stages must be worked out for a solid five, then the final result will please you.
The purpose of the first stage is to work with the cuticle and lunula. Serums of different directions are applied to the pre-cleaned marigolds and cuticles. At the same time, massage is carried out, which brings blood to the fingers, improving the absorption of serums. The latter have a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect. They saturate the nail and cuticle with moisture, a vitamin complex, and remove dead skin particles. Immediately after the application of the funds, an edged or European manicure is carried out.
At the second stage of lamination, the nail is coated with an oily liquid based on fruit acids, and then with a serum-varnish. She is selected for each girl individually based on the existing problems with the nails. You can choose a product with a vitamin complex and protein or other ingredients. After the lamination is completed, it is allowed to cover the nails with decorative colored varnish and perform any design at will.
The lamination procedure has a medical focus and has a long-term cumulative effect.
Who is it for
Anyone who needs it can afford the nail lamination procedure. Very often people who work in warehouses sorting fruits and vegetables deal with metal or wood, wash floors, nails are weakened and easily chipped, broken. Damaged cuticles with burrs and uneven edges of the nail plate not only interfere with work, but also cause discomfort and even painful sensations. During the lamination procedure, the edge of the marigold is sealed, gains elasticity, which avoids possible breakage.
Lamination can be done on nails of all types and lengths for both women and men.
Types of lamination
For lamination, biogels are used, which may differ slightly in their properties and application process. But these products dry in the same way - under a UV lamp. The big advantage of biogels is that by restoring the nail plate and giving it an attractive appearance, they allow the nail to "breathe". Biogel does not crack and remains intact on the nail for about 2-3 weeks.
This tool is suitable for brittle, thinning nails. It will allow you to "glue" the surface well, in order to then cover it with decorative varnish. Before applying the product, the nail plates must be leveled and degreased. Then apply a very thin layer of gel, dry in a UV lamp for 2 minutes. Repeat the procedure one more time. Then apply the finish. Dry, remove the sticky layer. Then the nail can be coated with regular varnish or gel varnish.
Another lamination method is using wax. This technique is in great demand today among girls with problem nails. The second name of this technique is Japanese manicure. At the heart of the tool:
- powder;
- beeswax;
- particles of pearls.
You can do wax lamination in your salon or at home. A hygienic manicure is done beforehand. Then the paste is taken, squeezed out onto the sponge, where it must be evenly distributed over the surface. Gently rub the paste into your nail. After that, the nail plate is covered with a special film that has protective functions. The applied product fills in irregularities and cracks in the nails, gives the surface a glossy shine. Decorative varnish can be applied on top.
It is recommended to repeat lamination with wax on a monthly basis.
The third lamination method is with polish. Unlike other products, it is aimed at demonstrating the natural beauty of marigolds.You can perform the procedure in a nail salon or at home. Such lamination can be carried out daily. As a result, you will get a durable, smooth and shiny nail frame that will be able to "breathe" and absorb all the nutrients from the outside.
How to remove the remedy
Laminating products do not need to be removed. However, if such a need nevertheless arises, the help of special means is required. If the nail needs correction, it can be done in two ways.
- You will need a buff and a degreaser. Then you can apply a new layer of the regenerating gel.
