What you need to know if you are going to wear nail tips

The structure of such a plate includes silk, paper and linen fibers. Before sticking them on your nails, they are given the required shape. In appearance, fiber nails are practically no different from natural manicure, however, their service life is shorter than that of gel and acrylic nails.

Self-adhesive plates

One of the easiest ways to create an artificial manicure, which can be done at home. The finished plates (tips) are glued using special glue onto a previously degreased surface.

Safe choice of glue

The artificial nails were always supplied with a special glue, which was not very convenient for gluing them. And all because there was not enough of it and it was not too active to adhere the plastic to the nail tightly enough. Instead of such glue, many girls had to resort to superglue, which has a bad effect on the body due to toxic compounds inside it.

To avoid this, you need to prepare safe glue in advance, which can be purchased in specialized stores.

BOHEMIA glue is a thick, viscous glue that has a pungent odor. It quickly adheres the artificial nail surface to the natural nail.

SR Beauty glue - this glue is waterproof and heat-resistant and can withstand mechanical damage well. Despite the pungent odor, this glue is in high demand, as it quickly and reliably attaches artificial tips to a natural nail.

Risks to consider

Despite the fact that tips are a fairly economical means of creating the desired manicure, there are some points that need to be taken into account. Let's list the main ones.

You will have to relearn your usual actions

If you've never had long nails, a manicure with tips can be a real challenge. Overlays significantly lengthen your fingers and thicken your nails, so at first you won’t be able to control your hands in space the way you did before. Typing on a phone or computer, collecting small items, using contact lenses - you will have to get used to all of this again.

However, there are some nail treatments, such as special powder and gel, that closely resemble the shape of a natural nail. Using acrylic can slow down the habituation process for several weeks.

As your nails grow, they will lose their aesthetic appearance.

Over time, your nails will naturally grow back. In the first few weeks this is not so noticeable, however, the longer you wear this manicure, the less aesthetic and neat it will look.

In addition, those with thin nails risk breaking their natural nails. To avoid this, try to stick to the optimal time for wearing manicure with tips: about three weeks.

Nails become thinner and weaker

Whether it’s the usual manicure with gel on long nails or extensions with tips on short ones, natural nails in any case lose their properties. This is due to the fact that during the procedure they are filed down and the top layers of material are removed, which spoil their condition.

But the worst thing that can happen when using tips is getting bacteria, water and dirt between the artificial and natural layers. Therefore, you need to trust your health and beauty only to professional hairdressers with an extensive client base and good reviews.

How to properly glue artificial nails

When the desired glue is selected, we get to work. The first step is to get your natural nails in order and for this you need to do a home manicure. When the cuticles are processed and the length of the nails has the desired shape and size (do not cut the nails at the root; false nails need a short length to stay on), then degrease the surface of the nail with acetone.

Then we apply glue to the nail and immediately glue the artificial tip to it. Press and wait 30 seconds. Then we repeat the same with the rest of the nails, and then we cut the tips, if necessary, and shape the shape with a nail file.

The final stage is painting the artificial nails and securing the varnish with a finishing topcoat.

What are tips and who are they suitable for?

A tip is an elongated plate that is placed on the nail bed with the help of strengthening agents. It is usually used if the client has short nails and wants to make them long. In this case, coating with gel will not help achieve the goal, because the material can only be placed around the perimeter of the natural nail. But the tips will not only give you long-awaited long nails, but will also strengthen the nail plate.

Tips help reduce the time spent with a nail specialist. This also affects the price, since the formation of the price directly depends on the time spent by the specialist. It is also worth mentioning that thanks to the tips you can choose the shape of the nail: almond, arched square, classic square or extravagant stiletto. Sometimes craftsmen use tips of one shape, and then cut them into another. This is done if the plate fits perfectly under the nail bed, but does not have the desired shape.

Typically, tips can be worn for 4-6 weeks, just like a regular gel correction. However, even this has a positive point: a free edge will grow under the overlay itself. This way you can grow some length for those who experience brittle nails.

How to remove false nails

To remove false nails you need to pour water into a bowl, which needs to be heated to 50 degrees. Immerse your fingers in the water for 25-30 minutes. When the time is up, use an orange stick to carefully lift the false nails and remove the layer of glue using a cotton swab soaked in acetone.

After removing artificial nails, it is recommended to rub nourishing oils into the nails to restore the natural layer.

Gel nail extension

Gel nails have become especially popular and in demand among girls. This type of extension looks very neat and natural. The components included in the gel are non-toxic and harmless to health than those in acrylic. But the extension technique is more painstaking and requires an ultraviolet lamp, which costs a lot of money. All the materials that you purchase for gel extensions will pay for themselves quickly and will serve you for a very long time.

So, what do we need for gel nail extensions:

• First of all, purchase an ultraviolet lamp for drying;
• extension forms;
• gel;
• nail files, polishing buffer, nail scissors, nippers, pusher;
• primer;
• bonder for strong adhesion of gel and nail;
• dehydrator for drying the nail and removing unnecessary fat;
• disinfectant;
• gel brushes;
• clinser;
• moisturizing cuticle oil;
• gel polishes, rhinestones and various decorations.

We disinfect hands and tools. We do a classic manicure - remove cuticles, file nails, polish the surface of the nail plate. Glue the extension form under the natural nail. Now you can start applying the gel. First, apply the gel to the natural nail, not reaching the cuticle, and stretch it onto the form to the desired length. We hold the nail under an ultraviolet lamp for a couple of minutes. Apply a second layer of gel and dry.

Carefully remove the stencils without damaging the extended nail. Using a clinser, remove the sticky layer and shine from the nails. We file, sand and give the desired shape. All you have to do is paint your nails with your favorite gel polish color, decorate them with rhinestones, sparkles or foil. Your charming manicure is ready!

How to remove false nails yourself?

The procedure for removing false tips is quite simple and consists of the following steps.

1. Before peeling off false nails, you need to moisturize your hands well. A warm bath with chamomile infusion, which will protect the skin of your fingers and nails while removing the plates, will do the job perfectly.
2. In order to painlessly remove artificial ends, you should drop a little nail polish remover under the upper edge of the plate.
3. Then try to separate the plastic nails with an orange stick. To do this, insert the tool between the natural and artificial nail using loosening movements. If after this the false nails still do not come off, then moisten a cotton swab generously in varnish solvent and apply it to the transition border of the nails. Wrap your fingers in foil to prevent the liquid from evaporating. After half an hour, begin to separate the false ends. Now you know an easy way to remove false nails, and you can safely experiment with manicure.

Nail care and removal

A few words need to be said separately about caring for such nails. Do not wet your feet excessively and wash off the polish with a liquid containing acetone. In addition, due to the possibility of artificial plates peeling off, it is better to buy and always have a spare set on hand. This will save you from awkward situations.

Each type of nails for false pedicure has its own removal method. Some are simply removed using warm water, others using a special solvent. In any case, you need to read the instructions and under no circumstances tear off your nails, as this risks damaging the natural nail plate.

Thus, we can say that false nails can be a lifesaver in many cases. You shouldn't overuse them or apply them often, but sometimes they are really necessary. They are quick and convenient to apply, and very easy to remove, so they can easily replace a full-fledged pedicure on special occasions.
