False nails: pros and cons, types

Both on holidays and every day, every self-respecting girl tries to look wonderful in everything - shopping on the weekends, spa after work, shampoo with balm at home. Of course, we must not forget about the hands, which can say so much about a person. The desire to make a perfect manicure sometimes makes you visit the most expensive beauty salons. Many are interested in what to do if a manicure is needed not for one day, but the time is minimal, what to do if you want something fundamentally new, but you are tired of ordinary and gel polish. False nails rush to the rescue. And what they are and what to do with them - the answers are in our article.

It would seem, what types of overlays can be that are simply glued to their own nail plate. As it turns out, nails or, in other words, tips are of several types.

• Transparent marigold suitable for those who like to experiment with colors and designs. Such ones definitely require painting, since your nail is visible due to the transparent structure. You can apply absolutely any patterns to them, attach rhinestones and other accessories.

• Natural overhead look like your own nail. But if you are going to make a drawing, then it will not always succeed exactly as intended. The fact is that such tips already have a flesh-colored application, as well as the line of the moon, which is sometimes very difficult to paint over even with the densest varnish.

• Designed nails. It's quite simple here. No overlap is required. You just choose the pattern and color you like, stick it at home and wear it calmly.But on such overlays, even if you really want to paint over the drawing, most likely it will not be possible to do this.

All these types are also divided into two more - self-adhesive and those that are attached to glue. Of course, these types also differ in the length and shape of the plate. The length ranges from very short to very long. The shapes can be completely different: oval, square, sharp, pointed, spade-like and others. If, when you come home, you decide that the shape or length chosen in the store still does not suit you, then there is a chance that it will still be possible to change the part. But here everything depends on the quality of the purchased nails and the quality of the file itself. If the nails are made from the cheapest materials, then with the first touch of the file they will crack in half.

Everything in the world has its pros and cons. Overhead tips are no exception. They have the following advantages:

• affordable price - the range of cost of false nails varies from 100 to 1000 rubles;
• fast gluing - especially suitable for those who are in a hurry to get somewhere, because already glued products do not need to be dried;
• a variety of beautiful designs, shapes, types.

Among the disadvantages are the following:

• fragility - pads can be worn with proper care for a week or a week and a half, while gel polish can last up to a month;
• damage to your nails - the tips themselves do not spoil the nail plate, but low-quality glue can.
• tips can fall off at the most inopportune moment.

It all depends on the care and choice of glue. Until you try it yourself, you don’t understand high-quality glue or not. It should not stretch or be lumpy. It shouldn't have a very pungent toxic odor, but it shouldn't look like PVA either. Glue for nail repair is also suitable in this case. He perfectly grasps the patch tips with the native plate.

Caring for such nails is simple. But while wearing, you should refrain from taking hot baths or visiting baths and saunas. Household chores are best done with gloves. Most of all, this concerns the interaction of hands with chemicals. After gluing, it is best if you are in no hurry and for two hours do not do anything with your hands that could damage the manicure. And do not wet your hands for six hours so that the glue dries properly.

To glue the false nails, it is worth sticking to a few steps.

• In order to make your own unique manicure according to all the rules, preparation is required. First, take all your nails out of the packaging and try them on. The main thing is not to confuse which lining corresponds to your own nail. Arrange them in order in front of you.
• Preparing your nails. Soften and remove the cuticles with a special stick. File the plate with a file, the side that removes the ribbing from its own plate. And also file your nails to the desired length, in no case should they be longer than the onlays. Wipe off the polish, if present, with a regular nail polish remover.
• Degreasing your plate with nail polish remover is not enough. Apply a lint-free, alcohol-based tissue to each nail.

• Let's start gluing. If the tips are self-adhesive, then remove the protective film and glue it exactly along the line of the moon. If you need to apply glue, then we apply it exclusively to the overlay with a thin layer. Depending on the glue, you need to wait a while, and not glue it right away. Most often, this time is written on the tube. Usually no more than 1 minute. We glue it very carefully, as if driving a little under the removed cuticle.
• That's not all. After you have made sure that all the beauty is glued evenly, do nothing with it for at least half an hour. Better to grip your plate.
• Treatment. This includes adjusting the plate if it is wider than the nail. Correction of shape and length. Do not use a metal file, it can damage even high-quality tips.
• If required, this step is to paint the lining. Apply varnish, designs, piercings and more.

After a certain amount of time, you will, of course, want to remove the glued products. Perhaps, the tipsa will get bored, or it will break or fall off. In any case, there is no need to stock up on an arsenal of funds. You will need a regular nail polish remover. The fact is that most types of glue do not respond to many factors, and everything holds on tightly to them. But it is the liquid that removes the foreign plates instantly. Apply the liquid liberally to a cotton swab and apply to the nail. As soon as the liquid begins to penetrate under the nail, it will corrode the glue and the nail will fall off by itself.

A longer way is a hot hand bath. You can add chamomile or your favorite oil to it and hold your hands for about 30 minutes. This will work if the glue is created specifically for nails and does not have impurities that are in the usual "Moment". By the way, never even think about sticking on the Moment glue. This can develop fungus and also "burn" the nail plate. Most likely, the consequences will be dire for both a real nail and a false nail.

As a design for false nails, you can use everything that is used in the design of ordinary ones - rhinestones, sparkles, rubbing, beads and more. For example, you can cover transparent tips with a translucent varnish, cover them with sparkles and make a layer of transparent gel varnish on top. Nothing will appear under the UV lamp. Place a small rhinestone on the tip of each nail, and lay out a whole pattern with rhinestones on one of the nails. After that, all this is also fixed with gel polish and sent under the lamp.

If you don't have a UV lamp, or just want to do without it and want something a little more creative, use natural, sharp-shaped tips. Paint them black and make a small hole closer to the tip. This is best done with a hot needle. Insert a small earring into each such hole. This type of nail piercing is sold at any nail art store. If you want to tweak the design of the finished tips, use a very fine nail polish brushto complement the nail with unusual patterns. You can attach any rhinestones, feathers, even pieces of foil to the nail glue. Fantasy can be carried on as it pleases.

It is worth adhering to the following tips from professionals:

• tips taken from your nails should be stored in a separate bag, or better in a box;
• try to prevent them from being exposed to excessive moisture, otherwise they may become unusable earlier than expected;
• try not to work with chemistry, as it can also damage the manicure itself and the glued product;
• at least occasionally, let your native nails rest so that the fungus does not appear on them, and so that they do not turn yellow.

Judging by the reviews, some girls use false nails all the time.when going on vacation, especially on your feet. It is very convenient. More than once, the brand of glue from Deco was mentioned in positive reviews. Swimming, going to the sauna - all the reviews were extremely positive, since this glue is of good quality. The tips last for a very long time and never fall off. Other glue firms are also mentioned in the girls' comments, but less frequently. But cheap glue does not differ in its durability and after 4 days the tipsa already peels off.

Some girls wrote that they were ardent users of false nails. But after their nails began to exfoliate and break, they immediately dropped the case. As it was later explained by the manicurists, a poor-quality glue was picked up. It follows from this that a beautiful and high-quality false nail is still only 50% successful. It is worth spending more money on glue to get a worthwhile result.

Of course, the ladies did not pass by the advice on choosing a company and the tips themselves. When there is absolutely no time for a manicure, and nails want longer, some stick to themselves "duty" tips. The plates are not processed, since most often they are glued for 2-3 days. The tips were not damaged within a year after constant manipulations. Most often in these cases, it was about the Dashing Diva nail company.
