Not only a beautiful manicure makes a woman unique, it is very important that the marigolds on her legs are well-groomed. Therefore, women often ask the question "Is it worth to build up toenails?"
Why do I need to grow toenails
Beautiful pedicure makes it possible not only to look aesthetically pleasing, but also to feel more attractive and feminine. But sometimes there are problems with nails, in which cosmetic pedicure does not correct all the defects of the nails on the toes.
Because of the socks of poor-quality shoes, socks or tights, your nails can deteriorate. They are also often deformed due to inappropriate shoe size.
What are the grounds for nails on the legs:
- fashion trend. Often, women do not think about some of their priorities in style just because of the trend of the season. Also, extended toenails are considered fashion. Not so long ago, the procedure became available for most women, as it was previously expensive;
- problem of ingrown nails. Many girls are familiar with this defect. The problem brings discomfort, and it is very difficult to deal with it. In this case, the extension will allow to get rid of ingrown nails, since the length of the nails will be increased by 2-3 mm, and if desired, more;
- ugly shape of their nails. Small, uneven plates, depressed or convex forms of nails will not look beautiful and tender. In these cases, the build-up will eliminate defects. The master will individually select each ideal shape.
In which cases there are contraindications
Wizards refuse to perform any cosmetic procedures in the presence of fungal diseases on the legs or on the nails themselves. Since the acrylic or gel coating will hide the natural nail plate and the undertreated fungus will further destroy the nail from the inside.
It is contraindicated to do build-up in the presence of an allergy to acrylic, gel, sawdust and other materials necessary for this procedure.
If after building up itching, redness or other discomfort appeared, it means that the material is allergic. In this case, the nails will have to be removed in order not to aggravate the situation.
Toenails can not be increased in the presence of wounds on the cuticle or nail plates themselves. You need to first cure the damage, and then proceed to a pedicure.
They do not recommend building up when taking antibiotics, since during the period of treatment the body can "repel" artificial materials.
The specifics of working with toenails
The technique of performing a pedicure is quite complicated. Independently, unlike manicure, it is much harder to do. To do this, you should choose a good master, who will do his job well.
Base materials for building:
- Acrylic Powder;
- Gel;
- Resins;
- Clay - powder.
The most common materials due to ease of use - acrylic and gel.
The technique of the procedure is the same as for manicure.
The main stages of nails on the legs:
- pedicure. Clipped cuticle, carried out cleaning, filing nail plate;
- disinfection. At the same time using a variety of cosmetics;
- degreasing. This stage directly prepares the nail plates for use of the substance to grow;
- application of the material (acrylic, gel or other);
- drying in a special lamp;
- registration of accrued nail. Master filing, giving shape, paints color varnish, creates a design;
- The final stage will be applying oil to the cuticle.
Observing all the technological processes, accrued marigolds will look perfect and for a long time to please the woman with their appearance. They are not afraid of deformation or defects, so the beauty of the legs is guaranteed for a long time.
Acrylic toenail master class
Material for building, as it is called the master, "acrylic" - a substance from the powder, coupled with a liquid. Acrylic stiffens for 35-50 seconds. Correction pedicure acrylic is not subject. On the nails of the legs cut it off and put a new one.
Consider step by step instructions. So, to increase the toenails with acrylic, you need:
- Perform a quality pedicure on his feet. To do this, make a foot bath. Soothing or disinfecting at the choice of the client;
- After removing the cuticle, dirt, prepare the nail plate. It is filed and sanded with a small file with a little abrasiveness, in order not to exhaust the surface much;
- The final stage of the preparatory work will be the degreasing of the surface;
- It is necessary to apply acryl on the prepared marigolds. It is better to use tips that help simulate the shape of the future nail. Skilled craftsmen make extensions without the use of tips, but this is a matter of technology;
- The applied material is dried in an ultraviolet lamp for 60-120 seconds, depending on the power of the lamps;
- Then the finished coating filed, giving it the desired shape;
- The last stage is a color lacquer coating, pattern application.
Features and stages of nails on the legs of the gel
Many masters prefer to work with the gel, as it spreads evenly over the plate in a thin layer. Due to this, the coating is very similar to the natural. And during regrowth, the line between the gel and its nail is practically not noticeable.
The gel is more practical, unlike acrylic. Consider its main advantages:
- dries quickly in the lamp (the drying time of the gel is much less than acrylic);
- this material is non-toxic and allows the nail to breathe;
- easily removed using special liquids;
- lays an even layer due to its plastic texture;
- less allergic, unlike acrylic coating.
Just as with the use of acrylic, the main preparatory processes are carried out to build up the gel. This is a foot bath and a quality pedicure. The cuticle should be trimmed very carefully, so as not to damage the skin, since wounds near the nail are a contraindication for extension.
After a pedicure, the marigolds are degreased with primer or alcohol. And gel coating is carried out. For building use tips. To create the necessary shape, you need to glue the tips and give them the desired look with the help of a nail file.
Tips for nails on the legs
It is necessary to ensure that there are no bubbles and blisters on the plates at this stage, since the quality of the future coating depends on it. Due to the fact that the material lays a thin layer, then they need to cover several times.
In this case, each time to dry in the lamp. The design on the finished nails can be done any, often painted on the thumb, and the rest of the nails tint color gel in tone.
When it is necessary to make a correction
Since the toenails grow more slowly than on the hands, the correction procedure should be performed once every one and a half to two and a half months, depending on the design and the length of the initial coating.
Only in cases of chipping or scratching acrylic marigolds they need to be adjusted. To do this, the coating is filed and additionally covered with acrylic, then dried. This is done to prevent infection from cracking.
Gel accrued nails are more amenable to correction. Since they are thinner than acrylic and the difference between artificial and natural nail is hardly noticeable, correction can be made. Only in the absence of pain with pressure or discomfort while walking.
Under the gel coating their nails grow strong, they are not susceptible to external damage. But in order not to spoil them after wearing the raised marigolds, when removing the gel, you need to contact the master. Since, cutting the gel, you can damage the nail plate.
Thus, extended nails on the legs do not require such frequent treatment in the salon to perform a pedicure. Due to their slow growth for more than a month, you can feel great with a beautiful pedicure.
