Features of covering nails with gel without building

Every woman dreams of beautiful and well-groomed nails. But what if by nature they are fragile, brittle or have an ugly shape, and it is not possible to grow nails? In such a situation, an excellent solution would be to cover the nails with gel without building up.

If you want to strengthen and lengthen your natural nails, give them a beautiful shape, this procedure is just perfect. Often, the fair sex does not see the difference between her and building, however, this is a big delusion. Let's consider what are the main differences.

First of all, the extension differs in that with it you can change the shape of your own marigold, as well as choose the desired length, while strengthening the length does not change. In addition, strengthening does not have a negative effect on the nail plate, since the gel is applied in a very thin layer.

It should be noted that with the help of strengthening, it is not difficult to get long, beautiful and healthy nails. The handles will always look well-groomed and natural. Reviews of masters and clients about this procedure are mostly positive.

So, let's highlight all the advantages of the procedure for strengthening natural marigolds:

• nails will become quite strong, they will break less;
• women will be able to forget about layering and will enjoy a beautiful and neat manicure for a long time;
• do not have to spend money on building.

However, despite this, the disadvantages cannot be overlooked.

• First of all, such nails, as well as extended ones, will require constant correction. As soon as the marigold begins to grow, the border between the material and the natural plate will become noticeable. It will take about every 15-20 days to correct the manicure, then it will look attractive.
• It should also be said that strengthening nails takes quite a long time. On average, a professional nail service master will cope with this task in an hour and a half, while working independently at home, the duration can increase significantly.

Currently, lovely young ladies are offered 2 options for strengthening nails: using a gel or biogel. To be sure of the choice, you need to know the difference between materials and their effect on the nail plate. To begin with, let's dwell on the fact that they are different in composition. Gel is a glassy polymer that becomes very hard when baked in a special lamp. Biogel, on the other hand, is a rubber-based polymer, therefore, it is quite soft and elastic.

If the nails are covered with gel, they will become very hard and strong. Also, using the gel, you can make nails of any desired length. The material can hold for 3-4 weeks, after which it is necessary to carry out a correction, for which there is no need to remove the material completely. At the same time, the procedure has such disadvantages as the need to wash down your own nail and the lack of elasticity. To remove the material, you only need to cut it off. Moreover, the thickness is much greater than when coated with biogel.

What are the pros and cons of the biogel itself? After application, the nails can bend, which eliminates the appearance of chips and cracks. There is no need to file anything, but removal occurs by soaking the material with a special agent.

However, with all the advantages, there are also disadvantages. Biogel is not able to hold for a long time, the maximum period of its use is 2 weeks. For corrections, you will need to completely remove the old material before applying the new one. Also, products containing alcohol and acetone can harm the nails, which will directly affect their appearance.

Before covering your nails with gel, you need to take care of the availability of the necessary materials and tools. In this situation, you will need wooden sticks with which it is convenient to move the cuticle, remover or conventional nippers, degreaser, primer, nail files, brushes, gel or biogel, accompanying design materials, gel varnishes.

It should be borne in mind that when choosing a gel, you should decide whether you are going to use a single-phase or three-phase material. In the second case, you will also need a base and top coating. In addition, you need to ensure that all instruments are carefully processed before the procedure.

The procedure can be carried out both by a professional master and at home. The technique does not change from this, all the nuances must be observed without fail.

The first thing to do is to remove the cuticle. The specific method depends on what type of manicure the fair sex chooses for herself. After the manicure is done, you need to process the nail plate. The desired shape is selected, then the top of the nail is sanded. The sanding process should be carried out very carefully, as it is only necessary to remove the natural gloss. After that, it is time to apply the primer.

The primer is used to make the gel fit more tightly to the nails. After processing, the plate must not be touched. You can use an acidic and acid-free product, the second one is recommended by experts if the client does not plan to make extended nails.Often, girls have a question whether it is possible to build nails without a primer.

After primer treatment, you should wait a minute until it dries, and then apply a base coat. The base should lie thin, and at the same time fit snugly to the marigold, practically rub into it. It dries for 2 minutes in a special lamp. In order not to damage the layer, it is necessary to avoid contact of nails with foreign objects.

A modeling layer is applied over the base. It is with its help that you can increase the length of the marigolds and correct the shape. The material is applied with a special brush and baked in a lamp. After drying, the gel needs to be given the required shape using a nail file. If this is not required, you should simply level the surface with a buff. Next, you can make the desired design, if planned. For example, stick on rhinestones, kamifubuki, stones, choose an interesting image. However, after the work of a good master, nails look beautiful even without a pattern or additional decorations.

The final point is to put on top-of-the-line coverage. The finish after drying can have a sticky layer or be without it. The sticky surface is wiped with a degreaser.

It should be noted that working with single-phase gels "3 in 1" takes the least time. In this case, using a nail file, you need to remove the gloss from the nail, apply a degreaser and a primer. After that, the gel polish itself is applied in 2 thin layers. Each layer must be properly dried and then treated with a degreaser. Next, you need to polish the nails and make the desired design.

The nails after strengthening, as well as after building, require regular correction. The procedure is not particularly difficult.

The first step is to remove the top layer with a nail file. Next, the length and appearance of the nail is formed. Then primer treatment is carried out. After it has dried, you need to deal with the regrown part.

The base is laid out very carefully and dried in a lamp, a modeling gel is applied on top of it and also baked. After applying the top coat and drying it, the new perfect manicure is ready.
