Nail extension with gel polish

Manicure is an important component of any female image. Many women visit beauty salons for this procedure. There they have to choose the type of coverage - classic extension or gel polish. That is why it is important to know the benefits of these types of manicure and the difference between them in order to make the right choice.

Gel polish on extended nails is a fashionable type of extension. The nail plates are covered with a gel, which is relatively stable and can stay on the nails for up to a month. The structure of the gel and the extended nail itself are very similar in appearance to a real nail, in addition, this element is safe and makes it possible to get a beautiful manicure. This procedure is quite simple and takes relatively little time. In addition, such an extension is completely painless.

Gel is an excellent choice for those women whose nails are not very beautifully shaped, and are also very brittle and weak. It is able to strengthen the nail plate. In addition, if you systematically carry out gel extension procedures, the nails will grow to the required length very quickly.It is very important to note that gel nails can be worn for 10-12 months, with monthly correction, and this procedure will not adversely affect real nails.

The big advantage of gel polish is that it has a very even and dense structure, which is able to fill microscopic cracks on the nail plate, which contributes to its alignment and smoothing. It is important to note that lightness is manifested not only during the extension procedure, but also during the procedure for removing such a manicure, and getting rid of nails extended with gel will not harm your real nails.

The gel is able to pass air and water, so it has a positive effect on metabolic processes. In addition, the gel is a very practical material for manicure, because it is not affected by household detergents and other substances, that is, your manicure will not be damaged during the cleaning process. It is a polymer that does not cause allergies and is completely safe, so it can be used by almost all women.

Most women prefer gel extensions, because in this way they can forget about the hassle of manicure, they do not have to varnish their nails and take care of them in any way, they only need to be corrected about once a month. At the same time, during the extension process, you can choose the design and color of the gel polish that suits your taste, and regularly change it during correction.

But still, experts point out that this procedure has several negative features. So, in some cases, when building on any nail, cracks or chips may appear, they cannot be eliminated, so you will have to build up such a nail with a gel again. In addition, the nail plates under the gel become more sensitive and sensitive to temperature changes. The gel texture is not too strong, so such nails can bend, which can subsequently lead to brittleness of the natural nails underneath.

Masters also indicate that this procedure burdens women with additional care for nails and fingers, since it is necessary to nourish and heal them. But on the other hand, you can save your time on a standard manicure by opting for extensions with gel polish.

Most women are often faced with a choice, whether to build up nails or give preference to a gel coating, they want to know what is more harmful, durable and practical and how one differs from the other. To answer these questions, you need to study both of these types of manicure.

Building, according to many masters, is a more reliable procedure. In addition, this type of manicure allows you to get long nails even for those whose nail plate is very short by nature. The extension perfectly smooths out any relief and helps to hide nails that are inconspicuous by nature. With this method of manicure, you can easily get the desired length and shape of the nails.

Thus, you can get any nails you want.In addition, the extension allows you to choose absolutely any nail design, because you can increase the nail plate and expand the field for creativity. Often, women with small nails cannot make themselves a jacket or draw beautiful patterns; when building up, they have this opportunity, and the jacket can be of any length. You can also make any drawings at home, as well as paint extended nails with any ordinary varnish.

Experts also note that the extension is a very reliable and durable procedure, the manicure does not lose its former appearance until the subsequent correction, such a coating does not crack, and the nail itself is very difficult to break. Extension is a procedure that can be done less often than gel coating, since such nails can last up to a month. That is why extensions are an excellent choice for those women who want to get long nails.

As for gel polish, it also has its advantages. Such nails look more natural and are almost indistinguishable from real nails, from a natural manicure. The gel coating is more versatile and is great for women of any age, it allows you to smooth out the relief of the nail plate quite a bit and practically does not harm the nails. This coating is more gentle and breathable. After applying gel polish on your nails, you can not renew it for about two to three weeks. Nails that have been extended with gel polish will not need to be filed. Such a coating is removed using special tools, and the removal procedure is more pleasant and simple.

Gel nail polish is a great option for those who don't want extensions but want to ensure a permanent manicure to save time. Ordinary varnish peels off very quickly even after exposure to ordinary water or other factors. Gel polish, on the other hand, is much more resistant than regular nail polish and has excellent strengthening properties. It can prevent splitting and brittleness of your nails.

Gel polish is a great choice for those for whom the length of nails in a manicure is not the main thing. This is due to the fact that a gel polish manicure, as a rule, implies only a coating, and not an extension. That is why this option allows you to maintain the natural look and length of your nails. This option looks more feminine and natural.

Gel coating and extensions are two completely different procedures. The choice between them will depend on the individual preferences of each woman, as well as on what kind of manicure you want to get. Having made a choice, you can safely contact the master to build up or cover the nail plates with gel.

Manufacturers of gel polishes for extensions offer to purchase a wide variety of kits and materials for such a procedure. Now a very popular tool for nail extension is a gel called Shaper. It is a professional tool and has a unique structure. This innovative gel makes it possible not only to smooth the nail, but also to increase its length. It is perfect for any type of nails.
