Care and Feeding of Nail


Nail extensions don't just function as a fashion accessory, but additionally provide safeguard for your nails. Brittle nails are prevented from breaking due to them. They are able to also cause you to get rid of nail-biting. These extensions will also be useful for concealing the bad-looking, broken, damaged nails and sometimes they even fix these complaints. For split nails, the extensions are particularly useful because they dont allow them to to split further. You are able to avail of each one of these benefits when the extensions are applied properly.

 Two procedures could make these extensions. First comes the tips that are lightweight nail-shaped plastic plates that are attached to the tip from the nail having a glue after which entire nail is applied acrylic. Second technique is forms by which moulds from the nails are created, which are afterwards given the required shape and shining.

 Most recent trend is of acrylic artificial nails that are formed from polymethyl methacrylate acrylics by which polymer powder and monomer liquid are added together. (This mixture takes about Quarter-hour to harden fully This becomes hard in Quarter-hour The time come to harden this blend is Quarter-hour approximately In nearly Quarter-hour it gets hardened}. Similarly the time taken for its removal is 15 to 20 minutes. It can be removed with any solvent, preferably acetone. It is very good for those who have brittle nails or have the habit of nail-biting.

 One more kind is gel extensions, or UV-top coat, which are treated with light. As the name suggests, it uses a gel of polymer and monomer, which is coated on the top of the nail and then cured with ultraviolet light. No light gels are getting increasingly popular as they dont use the UV rays, but use a brush or spray to treat the gel or simply water. This can be used to fix the broken nails too.

 One kinder of nail extensions is wrap nails which are made of fiberglass, paper or fiber, such as silk or linen. They are adhered to the nails on their tops. These are the most natural looking extension, but they are the least durable too.

 If you look carefully at these extensions, you will find many plus as well as minus points in them. The major benefit acrylic extensions present are toughness and natural appearance. However their disadvantage is that they form a gap with the cuticle as they grow with the natural nail, which houses dust and fungal growth, which in turn lead to severe skin disease. For avoiding such conditions, two procedures, named infill treatment and re balancing treatment are used. The former involves recognizing the underlying problem and then furnishing the gap so as to give the nail a good look. In the later, the extensions are reshaped by removing the apex and placing it in the correct position. Although the appearance of the gel extensions is natural, their life is short. In addition, they need a professional for their application, otherwise they may result into cracking of your nails while their removal.

 Infection is the most worrisome problem caused by these extensions. They are banned by many hospitals for their staff, as they may spread infection amongst the patients. Moreover, an apparently ignorable thing happened with the extensions like their striking with some hard surface, may create grave side-effects like rooting out of the nail. The conclusion of all this is, you must observe due care while wearing the extensions and afterwords too. An expert nail technician and a reputed salon should be consulted for their application. And you should maintain your nails by regular cleaning of their underside with soft brush and massage them and the surrounding skin with a cream, so as to promote the cell growth. By looking after such simple things, you can wear your nail extensions with ease.
