Nail extensions

Nail extension is a salon procedure, since it will still be difficult for a non-professional manicurist. If you think that you can do this manicure yourself, then maybe our article will help you with this. Nail extensions are divided into two types:

1. traditional three-phase, when all three stages of gel application are performed using three different gels;
2. single-phase, in which all three stages are carried out with the same gel.

All types of extensions consist of three stages:

• the first layer is applied to protect the nails, it prevents the layers from peeling off and is called the base gel;
• the second one models the nail, and the gel has a similar name;
• third - gives the nail plate strength and shine when applying glossy gel.

Three-phase application of gel during extensions is a labor-intensive process that requires appropriate skills.
