Extension of nails with tips. How to quickly create perfect nails with nail tips. Extension with acrylic on tips

Nowadays, a volumetric design with large shapes is in vogue, which will look perfect on long, well-groomed nails. If you are preparing for an upcoming event and there is not enough time to grow the nail plates or they are very weak, then you can use one of the nail extension techniques. One of the easiest ways to quickly lengthen plates at home is nail extension on tips... The tips are made of an elastic material for connection with the edge of a natural nail, and a layer of modeling agent (gel or acrylic) is applied to the elongated surface of the plate. The technique of building with gel on tips is especially popular. The procedure not only allows you to quickly make nails of any size and give the manicure a natural appearance, but also helps to hide small defects on the surface of a natural plate, smooth out wavy or ribbed relief.

In order to build up beautiful nails of an ideal shape with gel, it is important to choose high-quality tips made of nylon, ABS plastic or polyflex. Too massive and heavy templates look unnatural on women's fingers and the artificial free edge breaks easily, damaging the natural plate. Thin and elastic tips made of quality material have the following design: a thinned contact area, which is applied to the tip of the nail and fixed with glue; free edge of various shapes and sizes; "stop" is a protrusion on the inner side of the artificial nail, which abuts against the end of the nail plate.

When choosing tips for building with gel or acrylic, be sure to check how the width of the template matches the width of your nail plates. The line of contact of the template with the nail can be adjusted using a tip cutter. As for the shape of the free edge of the tips, there are absolutely any options on sale: square, round, oval, almond-shaped, stylet, pointe shoes. You can also choose the option of an artificial nail for a flat or convex shape of the nail plate, and if you have very ribbed or wavy nails, then it is advisable to fix the tips with a special gel glue that fills in the irregularities and evenly covers the surface of the plate.

This shape of the tips visually lengthens your fingers and makes them especially sophisticated... Pointed nails are associated with passion, maybe even with a little aggressiveness and courage of a person wearing such nails. However, nail extension on sharp tips will not suit the owners of thin and long fingers at all - the result will look stupid and ridiculous.

There is one more nuance, the low strength of the pointed edges of the marigold, so with awkward and sloppy movement at the base of the tip of the nail a crack appears instantly, which is practically not amenable to correction.

Extension of square tips looks very natural and harmonious, making the shape of the nails more refined. Particular popularity square-shaped nails were entrenched after the masters released the style of "French manicure" into the world. However, it is worth remembering that owners of short and plump fingers are not recommended to use such extensions - the appearance will be inappropriate and prim. The square shape of the tips is practical and versatile, and also does not require any restrictions during use.

Oval nail shape is the most demanded and is considered a traditional and classical form. Subject to all the rules when building, the free edge of the marigold mirrors the contour of the cuticle, which allows you to create the perfect balance between them, which is suitable for almost all ladies.

This extension is especially recommended for owners of short and plump fingers. It is worth drawing your attention to the fact that persons with long and thin fingers should not use square tips- they will visually lengthen the nail and finger, which will seem very ugly to observers.

Majority modern women at least once in their life used the opportunity to increase the manicure beautiful shape and the desired length with gel or acrylic, and then complement it with an effective design. However, this procedure is not a cheap service, and for regular visits to the master there is not always free time... So, maybe it's time to try to make nail extension on tips on your own, choosing one of the proposed technologies.

What are tips, their cost and features of use

Extension is usually divided into two categories: tips and forms. Depending on the materials used in the processes, acrylic and gel technologies are also distinguished. Before talking about the methods themselves, you need to figure out what tips are, and how the masters come out to make them a continuation of the natural nail.

Tips are templates, most often rectangular or pointed in shape (there are others, more unusual options) made of plastic. The cost of these materials can vary from 2 to 100 hryvnia (10-400 rubles) and more, depending on the manufacturer, the number of tips in the package (box) and, of course, the quality of the material. So it is quite difficult to say exactly how much artificial nails cost.

Gluing tips at home is not difficult. The main thing here is to correctly choose the size of the artificial nail in accordance with the natural one, then give it a shape and saw down the border. It is much more difficult to do the filing correctly so as not to damage the growth zone of the nail plate. But this can also be learned over time.

After we finish gluing the tips, giving them the desired shape, you can start building up the manicure by choosing gel or acrylic technology.

Acrylic technology for modeling artificial nails

To carry out the procedure for building on tips at home with acrylics, you will need:

• acrylic composition (liquid and powder)
• towel
• disinfectant
• files of various abrasiveness
• primer
• brushes
• tips of various sizes
• special glue
• topcoat

Correctly build up with acrylic should be in several stages. Before gluing the tips, you need to prepare your nails for the planned procedure. To do this, wash your hands thoroughly and disinfect them. When your hands are completely dry, sand your nails with a file (movements should be vertical) and remove dust with a brush. Only after that you can proceed directly to nail extension.

1. Move the cuticle back to keep material out of the cuticle.
2. Cover the nail surface with the primer with gentle movements. Be careful not to get the product on your skin.
3. When the primer is dry, start picking up tips. Then you can glue them.
4. When the glue is dry, shape the artificial nail into the desired shape and remove any irregularities in the place of gluing with a file.
5. Reuse the primer.
6. Wetting brush in liquid and dipping in powder the desired color, we are modeling our manicure. Work gently to avoid contamination of cuticles and skin with monomer. Taking your time will also help you create a relatively flat surface from the outset to reduce filing time.
7. After the acrylic has hardened, start filing the artificial nail. It will be correct if you first align the sides, then adjust the tip. Only then do you grind the surface itself.
8. Polish it well to keep it perfectly smooth.
9. Apply a top coat. When using gel, dry it in the lamp for the specified amount of time.

As a result of building on tips using acrylic technology, you will get beautiful and durable nails. Then you can practice creating the design.

Gel modeling of artificial nails

Some women are convinced that it is much easier to build up nails with gel than with acrylic. There is a certain logic in this, since acrylic tends to harden upon contact with air, so it is necessary to have time to model the nail before the material hardens. So, certain skills are indispensable here if you want to get it right. With gel in this regard, it is somewhat easier, but this is not a reason to relax, since certain nuances are also present. For example, you should correctly calculate the time for drying it in a lamp, since by overexposing or not drying the material, you risk being left without a durable manicure.

And now, in fact, the instruction for nail extension on tips using gel technology.

1. At the initial stage, as in the case of working with acrylic, we prepare the nail for extension and disinfection. Apply a primer.
2. After that, you begin to glue the tips, file it down.
3. Next, we apply the gel, stepping back from the skin and cuticle a short distance (0.5 mm). After distributing it over the surface, dry it in a lamp for the specified time (indicated on the package or jar of gel).
4. Repeat the procedure, covering the surface with several more layers of pain gel.
5. We file down the finished artificial nail, giving it the desired shape and leveling the surface. No polishing is required, as one of the advantages gel manicure- surface shine without additional manipulations.
6. In the end, we make the conceived design.

That's all the difficulty. Three hours of time - and you are the owner of beautiful and strong nails. The first correction after building on tips is recommended after two weeks, then after another two. In the future, the correction of the gel manicure should be carried out once a month.

Nail extension on tips is salon procedure which will allow you to get a chic long manicure. Having learned about all the features, advantages and disadvantages of this procedure, you can decide if this type of nail extension is right for you.

If you have very short nails, and you want to get a manicure today, then nail extension on tips is your option. This procedure will allow you to get a magnificent long and durable manicure in a couple of hours.

Features of nail extension on tips

As a rule, today different modeling materials are used for nail extension: acrylic or gel. These are plastic compounds that, after hardening, become very durable and very much like a natural manicure. But to lay out these modeling masses, you need some kind of foundation. Salon masters of nail design use tips and forms for these purposes. Forms are special foil-coated paper templates. And tips are artificial nails made of flexible polymer material.

Nail extension on tips can be used for any shape of the nail plate, since tips of any shape and color can be found on sale. That is why, in the salon, you can always choose tips to the shape and size of your nail plates, which guarantees a natural-looking manicure.

The tips are glued to their own nail plates using special glue and additionally strengthened with gel or acrylic. In this case, you should not confuse tips and false nails, because tips, unlike them, do not cover the entire surface of your nail, but only half of it. Nails grown on tips can be middle length... This ensures sufficient strength and durability of the manicure. If you increase the length, there is a great risk of breakage and flaking of the nail.

Today, liquid nail tips are very popular. This is the same part only more flexible and soft due to the gel pumped into the polymer form.

Who is the tip build-up suitable for?

The procedure for building with acrylic or gel can be done on tips in such cases:

1. If your nails are very short, or rather there is no overgrown tip of sufficient length to fit the shape, then the extension will be performed on tips.
2. If you have a habit of biting your nails, then, most likely, their length and condition is such that only nail extension can be performed.
3. With a very short nail bed, the situation will be corrected by building up on tips.

Contraindications for building on tips are the same as for building on other technologies:

1. It is better not to do the procedure if your nail plates are damaged or have cracks.
2. Extended nails should not be done by pregnant and lactating mothers.
3. It is better to refuse building up before menstruation and in the first days of the menstrual cycle.
4. If you drink antibiotics or hormones, it is better to postpone the build-up procedure until you stop taking medications.

• A manicure is performed faster than other types of extensions.
• The spectacular appearance of the manicure and great design possibilities are another plus.
• Affordable price for nail extension using tips is another advantage of this procedure.

The disadvantages of this building technology include the following:

• The appearance of nails extended with tips is not very natural, since it is clear from the shape of the nail that tips were used.
• The durability and strength of such a manicure is lower than when using an extension on forms.
• Prices for nail extension with gel on tips are not as low as we would like.

Extension of nails with gel and acrylic on tips: technique of execution

The procedure is usually performed in a salon. For this, the master will need the following devices and materials:

• a set of nail files;
• scissors;
• tweezers;
• glue for tips;
• tips of different sizes and shapes;
• degreaser for nails;
• primer;
• gel or acrylic;
• ultraviolet lamp when using gel;
• brush for applying modeling mass.

The price for nail extension on tips in different salons may differ, but the sequence of the procedure is the same. It takes place in several stages:

1. The preparatory stage includes the treatment of the hands of the master and the client with an antiseptic. Then the cuticle is processed in any suitable way. After that, the nail plates are degreased, polished and primed.
2. The main stage. The tips of the required size and shape are selected. They are glued to the nail plates with a special glue. Then the master prepares an acrylic mass or takes a ready-made gel. Please note that the price of nail extension with gel for tips is higher than using acrylic.
3. After that, the modeling composition is applied in layers on the nail and tips. If gel is used, then each layer must be dried under an ultraviolet lamp. The acrylic mass hardens by itself. To lay out the modeling mass, the master uses a special brush. At the same time, acrylic dries so quickly that the work must be carried out accurately and quickly, so it is better to entrust such a procedure to the master in the salon.
4. After this comes the final stage. With the help of nail files, the master corrects the shape of the nail plates. If acrylic build-up was performed, then additionally polishing of the nail is done to make it shine. In the case of a gel modeling mass, sanding is not required, since such a manicure already has a glossy shine, which remains for the entire period of its wear.
