False nail file: I tested the gel technique
Eager to learn more about laying false nailsI went to one of the centers of nail beauty at the Manucurist Institute of Opera. Arrived on the spot, I discovered a human-sized institute, with neat design and shimmering colors. I am here for a break from false nails, placed on the gels and dried under UV. My base, natural nails, cut short, but never gnawed.
First step: preparation
This is to prepare the nail for the application of the capsule and gel. For that, the nail designer lime the natural nail to equalize it. It also lightly lime the surface of the nail to allow the gel to adhere better. In this stage of preparing the nail, we also take care of cuticles and small skins. With a strawberry, the manicure thus repels the skins to allow a better pose of the product and a better visual aspect.
Second step: the installation of the capsules
No whole capsules here. The technique is to stick on the tip of the nail capsules from the top of the nail and going in its extension, kind of stakes. These capsules actually help to guide the growth of the nail. After two to three months, they will have disappeared, by the regular filing of the nails. Then will remain only the natural nail, but longer and stronger thanks to the gel. So we put the capsule with glue, then we put a layer of a protective varnish before going to freeze.
Third step: freezing
Once the capsules are placed, it is time to put the gel on the nails. This is certainly the part that requires the most fingering, since it involves laying a layer of product while respecting the convexity of the nail and giving it a new shape in harmony with the capsule. The whole is dried under a UV lamp. We can then go to nail polish.
Fourth step: French or colored polish
In my case, the capsules on my nails were already white, so no need to go through the French Manicure step. However, we could have put natural color capsules and then go through the pose nail polish french called permed. In this case, for a long-lasting result, we put the white varnish with air brush (kind of paint gun), then apply a layer of a fluid gel for an outfit for three weeks. It's the same technique for color.
Daily : daily maintenance is quite simple. Do not do anything! If you want to change the color of your nail polishyou can use a solvent without acetone and then do the laying yourself. For varnish laid with so-called technique permedHowever, it is necessary to file the surface of the nail to remove the layer of varnish without reaching the first layer of gel. Better to leave this part to specialists. You can also file your nails naturally if you want to change their shape and go from a square to a round shape, or just to shorten them.
Finallyyou get stronger, natural and low maintenance nails. What more !
