 There were
times when long nails were the attribute of the perfect image of any woman.
When a woman failed to have her own nails, she was pleasingly welcomed by all
the services of nail masters to have longer nails. It is incredible to imagine
that several years ago women used fake nails and glued it by themselves and
used darker nail polish to hide the drawbacks of home-made service. The times
change and we are here in the world with permanently improving technologies and
the homebred techniques were replaced by the most perfect approaches, namely
tips extension.
Tips
Tips is the
word that seems to be known to everyone but not everyone refers it to the
beauty salon and nails when heard. Tips come as the plastic nails which are
attached to natural nails to have them longer. Nail extension is intricate and multistage
process and tips gluing is not all than can be done to have beautifully long
nails. Tips attachment to nails is just the first stage of nail extension
master. Tips are attached with glue or acryl.
Nail tips
are no longer referred to those trivial plastic nail tips used by women before,
in spite of their simplicity and plain look. Nowadays tips come as the high quality
fake nails with the provided anatomical peculiarities and mechanical
properties. Tips are not used tojust make nails longer. Tips are attached to natural nails for
particular period for the purposes of comfort and safety and thus, there are
some requirements to nail tips.
Nail tips
of high quality should be strong though elastic and thin. The strength is what makesthem demanded.
Tips should be elastic to bend
to some extend when doing mechanical procedures. When tips are thick, too strong
and rigid, women risk breaking the artificial nail and having their natural
nail injured. Tips are usually adjusted, filed and trimmed to every particular
client and here the elasticity and flexibility matters.
Nail
attachment steps
The first
step is when the master trims the natural nail plate before attaching the tips,
removes the nail polish, moves the cuticle and defats the nail. The emery board
is also used to remove the nail luster and to provide the better gluing of
tips. Then the appropriate form of tips is chosen, whether flat or more prominent,
narrow or wide.
The glue is
applied to the contact zone of the tips, that is at the base, and spread at the
inner side of it. After it is glued and left for about ten seconds. The glue
should be spread evenly to have the effective look. The tips are attached to
more than a half of the natural nail.
The gluing
is not the end of the service. The master files and corrects the new shape of
nails to apply nail polish. When the demanded shape is done with the special
modeling tool, the border between the fake tips and natural nail is leveled.
Then the gel or acryl is used when the artificial and natural nails are leveled
to provide the canvas for the painter to work.
Today tips
come with particular patterns, prints or colored to make the master’s work
easier. The patterns are applied to fake tips on the polymer film. Such tips
with patterns are more favorable to sane time for nail extension. Such tips come as translucent or opaque.
Today tips
are made thin and strong to avoid injuring natural nails of clients. However,
fake tips affect the natural nails and it is far more reasonable to have
intervals in nail extension procedure to have nail restored and revived.
