The procedure for nail extensions is growingpopularity among the beautiful half of humanity. Materials on how to increase the nails correctly enough. And this is not accidental. Of course, it is much easier to go to a beauty salon and to grow nails of the required length than to wait until they grow themselves. In addition, there are many ways of building up. Every woman can choose the most suitable for herself. You can not only grow nails of the desired length and shape, but also beautifully decorate them with various patterns. 
Types of nail extensions: gel and acrylic
First of all, let's try to figure out howgel and acrylic build-up are different. Gel is a photo-polymer having a special composition, which solidifies only under the action of ultraviolet rays. Acrylic is a combination of acrylic powder and oxygen, as a result of which a thick viscous mass is formed, from which it is possible to lay out nails of different length and shape. Acrylic hardens due to the evaporation of acid. This process is accompanied by a rather unpleasant odor. The choice of the method of building depends on the structure of the nail plate, which depends on the type of skin of the hands. It is recommended to use the gel for women whose nails have a dry or normal structure of the nail plate. Gel has protective properties against the effects of adverse factors. Acrylic is a more versatile substance suitable for the fair sex, with both a dry and a fat nail plate. However, the minus of acrylic is that, due to the acid contained in its composition, it overdry the structure of the nail, thus having an adverse effect. Gel on the other hand has protective and strengthening properties for the nail plate. As for strength, the gel build-up is inferior to acrylic longevity. With a mechanical action, the gel breaks like glass. However, modern cosmetology does not stand still. Methods have been invented that promote the strengthening of the nail plate based on the gel. But acrylic nails still remain more durable. If you break them, it's only with your own nails. In appearance, acrylic nails are easy to distinguish from gel nails in thickness. Due to the fact that the gel build-up is made due to the special technology of the C-arch of the arch, this nail looks a little thicker. The procedure for building up acrylic allows you to lay out a thinner layer. Due to this acrylic nails look more natural. Another advantage of increasing acrylic is the speed of the process. This material does not require a long drying under an ultraviolet lamp. Even considering the design, acrylic extensions are much faster. Lacquer coating with nails, based on the gel, can be removed with absolutely any liquid to remove varnish. Acrylic acrylic nails require special care. It is strictly forbidden to use cosmetics containing acetone. It will destroy the structure of the nail. A very important difference between acrylic and gel build-up is the degree of their harmlessness. This question is probably of interest to many women. It is much easier to get rid of gel build-up. Such nails are cut with special tools. Acrylic build-up will have to be removed with a strong liquid, which will damage the structure of the nail. After this, a fairly long process of restoration of the nail plate will be required. If you are concerned about the cost of the procedure, then I must say that acrylic is less expensive material. As a rule, gel build-up is made for a higher price. However, it all depends on the nuances of the procedure and how the manicurist will evaluate his work. It may also be that the acrylic build-up will cost you for the same price as the gel, or even slightly more expensive. This should not be surprised. 
Choose the desired shape of nails
There are several varieties of the shape of the nail,which can be achieved through building. You can optionally choose the desired length and shape of the free edge. The square shape is created thanks to visual parallels on the sides and a flat tip. Special attention should be paid to the sidebars. There should not be emptiness. In addition to the square, it is possible to order a round, sharp, daggerlike shape or stilettos. It all depends on your desire and imagination.
Types of gel build-up systems

Features of gel build-up
It is necessary to know that non-compliance with the rulesGel extension can lead to deplorable results. The nail plate will quickly peel off. Or the protruding part of the nail will break. It often happens that during the procedure under the nail plate gets air, which completely spoils the effect of build-up. To avoid unpleasant consequences, adhere to clear rules and recommendations on how to grow nails. The quality of the procedure depends largely on the surface on which the nail plate is grown. It should be roughened and fat-free. On a smooth surface, the artificial nail will not last long. Before you start the procedure for building, you need a thorough manicure. Cuticles and pterygium should be completely eliminated, otherwise the overgrown skin over the nail plate will prevent qualitative and even gel application. Pterygium is a thin layer of cuticle, which grows to the nail. It is almost invisible to the naked eye. However, it makes it difficult to make a neat manicure and build-up. The overall physical condition of a woman affects the efficiency and quality of the buildup. The detachment of the nail plate can be observed during pregnancy or hormonal disorders, against the background of taking antibiotics and other medications. Premature peeling can occur in the case of rejection by the body of a certain type of gel. In this case, it is recommended to use other material for building. It is easily picked up by an experienced specialist.

Stylish and elegant looks build-up "French" with the use of combinations of different colors. An interesting variant of nail design is an aquarium. Due to this effect, a volumetric pattern is obtained, consisting of different details: dried flowers, pieces of foil or fabric, sequins, feathers, shells, sand and even mini photos. It seems that the picture is as if under glass. Due to this, this design is called an aquarium. In the process of three-phase expansion, the bulk material is laid out in front of the modeling layer. You can choose the simplest version of the design - you can make the finished nails yourself with a varnish of any color. There are also special acrylic paints, with which you can draw on your nails all that your heart desires. It's even easier to use ready-made drawings - templates that you can buy in the store. A beautiful adornment will serve all kinds of glitter and baubles. However, remember that the picture should not be too bright and nalyapisty. Try not to overdo it with color, glitter and volume.
Correction of nails

After all, the speed of nail growth in all is different. To determine if correction is necessary, consider your fingernails. If the gel from the cuticle grew 3 mm, it's time to do restoration. For correction use the same set of tools as for the extension. The order of the correction procedure.
How to remove nails
Sooner or later there will be a situation when youwill have to get rid of the nails. You can do it yourself. Acrylic build-up is easily removed by a special acid that cleaves the artificial nail plate. To remove nails, narlovchennye by means of gel, it will be much more difficult. To do this, you need to get nail files of different abrasiveness. With a guillotine or tipper cut carefully the free edge. Make sure that the nail fragments do not hit the eye. It is safer to carry out this procedure with glasses. After the edge is cut, we begin to remove the surface of the narcotic nail, beginning with the thickest layer. This is done using a nail file with an abrasivity of 100. After reaching the thin layer, we change the nail file to a thinner one and process the rest. Experts recommend not to remove the gel completely, but leave a thin layer that will serve as a kind of protection for your natural nails. If all the layers are removed completely, strengthen the nails with a special biogel.
Hand care after the procedure of building up
There are many opponents of nail extensions. However, in case of proper procedure and care of hands, no negative consequences are not terrible for you. And if we talk about gel build-up, then it even has a beneficial effect on the condition of the nails. The gel layer is in its way protecting the nail plate from external influences. Make sure that the build-up and correction is done carefully and carefully. Do not allow air to enter the gel layer. Such an environment is a paradise for pathogenic bacteria. Pay attention to the quality disinfection, filing and degreasing the surface of the nail. If under the gel you saw a patch of greenish color, immediately remove the exaggerated nail and disinfect.
