Acrylic nail extensions allow you to make strong, beautiful and well-groomed nails in a short time, which will perfectly complement your irresistible image.
Acrylic is a strong polymeric material, obtained with a quick hardening in air of a mixture of powder (powder) and a special liquid (catalyst). Initially, acrylic was widely used in dentistry, but then due to such properties as plasticity, transparency and strength found its application in nail extensions.
There are two ways to increase acrylic nails, different by the method of fastening - on tips and on forms.
In the first case, nail extensions are made on tipsy - special blanks from plastic that repeat the shape of the nail and are fastened with a special glue composition to the nail for 1/3 of its length. After this, the nail is sharpened together with the tips and the shape and length required by the customer are attached to it. Then acrylic is evenly distributed over the surface and after hardening the tip-shape is removed, the nail is polished and the desired shape is given to its free edge. Then the accrued nail can be covered with various varnishes or other design solutions in accordance with your wishes.
Another way of acrylic nail extensions is to use forms - special adaptations made of paper and other materials, which are superimposed on the natural nail by movement from the fingertip. Next, a layer of acrylic is applied to the form and the nail, which after the hardening forms an artificial nail. To obtain the desired shape and size, it is cut and polished.
1. Strength (acrylic nails are more resistant to mechanical damage and are 30% stronger than gel).
2. Elasticity and ease of modeling the shape of the nail (acrylic can be given any shape).
3. The possibility of creating a unique design of nails (volume drawings, art painting, rhinestones, etc.).
4. Use when strengthening nails (a thin layer of acrylic strengthens the nails).
5. Preservation of the shape of the natural nail when it grows.
6. The possibility of rapid removal (acrylic is easily soluble in acetone-containing solution).
The disadvantages of acrylic nail extensions include a sharp, pungent smell in the manufacture of work and airtight acrylic. And if you can cope with the smell using modern material with a reduced content of toxins, in any case, acrylic nails every month you need to remove socks to give your own breathe.
Work on increasing acrylic nails requires strict hygiene, safety and well-ventilated premises, so it is better to conduct them in a beauty salon with an experienced craftsman.
