There is hardly a girl who would not want to have well-groomed and beautiful nails. If not your own, then at least extensions. Now this is very easy to do, just go to the nearest nail salon, and within a day you will have your nails done to suit your every taste.

There is nothing special about this, and almost every girl has had her nails done in a salon at least once in her life. However, now you can become the owner of stylish nail extensions without a salon. Therefore, many are interested in how to grow nails at home.

It is important to understand that for certain health problems this procedure is contraindicated. These may be problems with the endocrine system, cardiovascular diseases, disorders of the hormonal system and blood circulation, Graves' disease, viral diseases such as herpes, chemotherapy.

The use of antibiotics is also a contraindication, since false nails simply will not hold on.

A separate issue with pregnant women. There are no prohibitions here, but some requirements must be met. Namely:

• extension should take place in a well-ventilated room;
• only safe materials should be used;
• After completing the procedure, you need to drink mineral water, which will clear the airways of dust and possible allergens.

There is no need to carry out the procedure yet at:

• injured nails, bruises under the nails;
• the presence of fungal and viral infections.

Before the procedure you should meet with three rules to avoid possible mistakes.

1. Before the procedure, the cuticle on the nail plate must be removed.
2. It is advisable for the nails to be cut short, but there is no need to cut them at the root; there should be an extra 1-2 mm left.
3. On the day of the procedure, you should avoid bathing, visiting the pool, bathhouse or sauna.

In addition, remember that some hand skin products may not have the most favorable effect on new nails, or rather, delaminate them.

If the nail begins to peel, do not pick it apart. This won't lead to anything good. A correction needs to be made.

After the procedure, you need to regularly care for the skin around your new nails. In the morning and evening it is necessary to moisturize it with a nourishing cream. Correction is necessary every 14-28 days. When applying extensions for the first time, keep your nail length short.

This remark is especially relevant for our women. False nails are not a corkscrew, a screwdriver or a knife. Their main purpose is beauty.

All routine household work, such as washing clothes and dishes, should be done with gloves. When using graters and other kitchen utensils, be careful not to break or trim your nail.

It must be remembered that exposure to open flames can cause your nails to burn. The area under the nails should not be cleaned with sharp objects. In such cases, use a soapy toothbrush.

Now let's start the procedure. Let us immediately note that nail extensions at home without gel and acrylic are unrealistic. These are the main materials used when working with nails.

The difference between them is small and lies in the time and hardening process. Acrylic hardens using monomer and powder. The gel, consisting of the same components, has a liquid form and hardens with the help of ultraviolet rays.

For those who are doing a similar procedure for the first time, we can recommend extending nails with gel for the first time, due to the greater ease of operation.

Although experts prefer acrylic, only with it is it possible to achieve a clear line and shape. Unfortunately, this is not possible with gel.

The disadvantage of acrylic is that it has a specific smell, volatile and toxic, which spreads quickly in any room. The gel, on the contrary, does not have a strong odor.

Nails are extended using forms and tips. Forms are used much less frequently. With tips, extensions are faster, but grace cannot be achieved with them. The technology of execution depends entirely on the material.

What is necessary?

The first is an ultraviolet lamp. It is needed for any extension and preferably more powerful. You will also need a cuticle remover, files, molds, tips, glue, brushes, tweezers, disinfectants, dehydrator, primer, bonder (for gel), acrylic powder, building gel, monomer, finish, and a means to remove the sticky layer.

When everything is ready, choose the shape for the nails. There are two types: classic (oval, almond, square, soft square) and modern (edge, stiletto, bridget, pipe).

This is the simplest type. With careful work, everything can work out right away.

The main thing to do is to disinfect the instruments. Next, we prepare the tips, lay them out and match them to each nail according to size and shape. Then we give them shape. For example, an oval. Next, prepare the surface of your nail. We push back the cuticle, remove the top shiny layer, and trim the length. We do everything slowly.

We treat the nails with cutasept and dry them with a dehydrator. Then the tips are glued on. The glue is applied in even doses. We apply the tips to our nails, check their position, press and hold.

The next step is to apply bonder and prime (for the gel version). Do not overdry the bonder, otherwise you will not get a positive result. Therefore, we dry it for only 2 minutes.

The main stage is working with acrylic on the prepared nail. Here, precise formation of the nail is necessary, its future fate depends on this. The glue is applied evenly over the entire nail, from the center to the edges.

When using the gel, ultraviolet polymerization is necessary. This is done for each finger, then the sticky layer is removed and a finishing gel is applied to the nails. The last stage is drying under an ultraviolet lamp for 2 minutes. Now everything is ready.

Forms

The preparation process is almost the same as in tips, only now, instead of them, forms are prepared, which are patterns, through which an ideal nail model is created.

The form is folded in half, placed under the nail and secured with a sticky edge. The material is also distributed. By using tweezers, the nail can be made sleeker and thinner. You just need to press the frozen material on the sides.

How to care?

Care is very simple. It is necessary to regularly rub nourishing oil into the cuticle, and the nails themselves should be periodically lubricated with varnish. This is quite enough to have well-groomed hands and a fresh manicure.

Besides, follow the rules below:

• do not use acetone to remove nail polish;
• forget about scissors, which only harm your nails;
• sudden temperature changes are detrimental to false nails;
• when covering nails with varnish, only acrylic or gel products should be used;
• remember about regular correction, after all, the natural nail grows, and this weakens the artificial one;
• Don't paint your nails often, let them breathe.

Every young lady dreams of having a perfect manicure, but not everyone knows how to do it. False nails will be an ideal option for those beauties who want to get a magnificent manicure with an equally wonderful design in a short time. We will look at how to make false nails at home with your own hands in this article.

Differences between overhead tips

Nowadays, such products are presented in a varied assortment. You need to know how the tips differ from each other in order to make the right choice:

• design. They can be plain or have a pattern;
• form. False nails are produced in various shapes and lengths. You can purchase short plastic false nails and long plates. You can always buy tips that match the natural shape of your nail plate. If you are used to long nails, short false nails, for example, with a French manicure, will look much more attractive. Short false nails, by the way, are more comfortable;
• gluing method. Tips can have an adhesive layer on the back of the plate or be glued by applying liquid glue to them;
• quality. The cost of production and the natural appearance of the result will depend on the quality of the tips.

False nail design

On sale you can see short false nails with a design or long ones without it.

You can apply a varnish coating of any color yourself to transparent or beige tips. Varnish
You apply as if you were painting your natural nails. In this case, the layer is applied evenly, and the color becomes saturated. To make your manicure look brighter, you can draw a flower or write a word, for example, kiss.

The design of tips is very diverse. Any idea can be implemented on false nails: from all kinds of prints, patterns to single-color nails decorated with sparkles or rhinestones. You can get a French manicure. In addition, short false nails will look more natural.

Let us note once again that for the most natural look, you should buy short artificial false nails that do not have a design, and apply the varnish yourself so that the manicure looks natural.

A wide range of nail gluing kits is represented by the Maybelline and L'Oreal brands. Both short and long false nails with available products can be ordered online or purchased by going to a specialized store.

How to glue the plates?

It is necessary to prepare for the manipulation in order to get the expected result. First, remove the remnants of the old varnish. Use a file to smooth out the surface of the plate. After that, we take manicure accessories, tips and a substance for gluing. If you plan to do a manicure with overlays once, then buy tips that have a self-adhesive base.

How long will it take? The whole procedure will take no more than 10 minutes, and your hands will be beautiful and well-groomed. And for gluing plates for a long time, you better study the step-by-step description of the process.

Pasting instructions:

• we decide on the shape of the plate. You should know that nails are divided into three types: classic, flat and with a pronounced bend.
• We place the pads and a tube of special glue on the workplace. The main thing is to eliminate the use of superglue in order to subsequently avoid problems with removing the plates. We prepare our hands: wash, dry, remove the remnants of the previous coating, remove the cuticle. It is important to remember that your nails should be short. You should trace the outlines of both hands on paper. If you place short tips or false nails on painted fingers, then these pictures will help you follow the order of gluing;
• Apply glue to the back of the tips if they are not self-adhesive. Place the plate on the surface of the nail and press lightly for 10 seconds. And so on every nail.

Doing a false manicure at home is not at all difficult. Note that false nails can also be used for pedicures.

How to remove tips?

You should not use artificial tips for a long time - plastic tips are harmful. If you use tips systematically, allow your nail plates to rest so that they look healthy.

Removing false nails is also quite easy. To do this, you need to hold your hands in hot water for 15 minutes. As a result, the glue will dissolve, and after the lining can be easily removed. If the pad is holding tight, place your finger in nail polish remover. You can also easily remove the plates. The remaining adhesive can be easily removed using nail polish remover.

Today, reusable false nails have every right to be in the cosmetic bag of all representatives of the fair sex.

The main thing is to remember that plastic overlays should only be glued to healthy nail plates.

Nail extensions are becoming more popular year after year, because they make nail care easier and allow you to hide natural imperfections, such as brittle, thin nails. For a modern business woman, nail extensions are another detail of the look.

But this is a very expensive procedure and not every woman can afford to visit specialists regularly. There is a solution: you can grow your nails at home. This seems incredibly difficult, because the extension technology seems incomprehensible to the average person, and there is a risk of bad results. Yes, this should be remembered, as well as the fact that even masters did not immediately master their craft. They, like you, had to sweat a lot, studying extension methods from magazines. But it will immediately give you a lot of advantages. But most importantly, you will no longer depend on salons.

Extension methods

False nails

The easiest and simplest way to buy tips is in a set of ten pieces and glue. This method is distinguished not only by its simplicity, but also by a lot of inconveniences: the design on such tips is usually the simplest, they are not adjusted to the nail, so they look unnatural on the hands. Glue spoils nails, making them thinner, and without training it is almost never possible to stick tips evenly.

Before you start extensions, the length of the tips will have to be reduced if you want them to last longer. Now take care of your nails: clean them of any remaining polish, cuticles, and hangnails. Wash your hands and don't forget to dry them.

Next, arrange the tips in order so that during the procedure you don’t have to figure out what to glue where. Then select a tip, place a drop of glue on the back side and, using the spout of the bottle, spread the glue over the entire surface. Then press the tip to the nail, hold for ten seconds and remove any glue that has protruded from under the nail. Now you can paint the tips with your favorite varnish.

To remove tips, you should drop a little acetone, which is in the nail polish remover, under the plate and lift it up by prying it with a manicure stick.

Acrylic nails

Initially, acrylic was used in dentistry and was a combination of powder and liquid. Only recently have acrylics been used in the fashion and beauty industries. In cosmetology, acrylic is used in two ways: by creating nails using tips and using special forms that are made from polymer materials. The undoubted advantages include the unsurpassed protection of native nails from the harmful environment, as well as the incomparable strength of acrylic nails. They last up to four months or more.

There are also small disadvantages: acrylic smells unpleasant and is slightly toxic. The tutorial below will help you grow your nails using acrylic at home.

In order to extend acrylic nails at home, you must have a kit containing acrylic paints, a liquid that increases the adhesion of a natural nail to an artificial one, a solvent, a degreasing liquid, a brush and several files.

1. Extension using forms

Before you begin the extension procedure, you need to wash and disinfect your hands. Then manicure, file, and then remove dust from and around your nails. Apply the cleanser and let it dry.

Place the form, secure its ends so that the future nail has a complete shape. Take a container, fill it with liquid and dip the brush into the monomer, squeeze it almost until dry, then use it to pick up a ball of camouflage powder. It will look like a furball. Make sure it stays dry. Wait until the liquid is absorbed into the powder and smoothly apply it to the form. When rolling it over the cuticle area, do not forget to step back one millimeter from it. Give the material the desired shape.

Extension in this way can be continued until the nails take the shape you want. You can do both a regular manicure and a French manicure using different powders. You can also create all sorts of unusual designs using multi-colored powders, accessories and acrylic paints.

Now use tweezers to remove the shape, then file the free edge of the nail, sand and polish it.

2.Correction

When filing a nail, you need to pay attention to the boundary between the artificial and natural nail. Then lubricate everything with coupling fluid, after using a degreaser. Make sure that none of the liquid gets on the cuticle. Now start coating by laying acrylic on top of the nail. Shape it to the exact shape of your nail and hold for three or four minutes to harden the nail. Now polish it until it is perfectly smooth and shiny. Do the same with the rest of your fingers.

Gel nails

Gel nails are rightfully considered one of the most popular methods of nail extensions. The composition of such artificial nails includes natural and semi-synthetic components. Of the natural components, the resin of coniferous trees is most often used.

Among the undoubted advantages, it is worth noting the quality and safety of the material for health, antibacterial gel, and naturalness. Recently, they began to put silk under artificial nails, which additionally protects the nail, strengthens it and speeds up the extension procedure. In addition, such a manicure begs to be decorated with beads, rhinestones and other accessories.

Of the few disadvantages, only two are worthy of mention: the cost, which is very high, and the fragility of the nail, which must be re-grown with each new break. But extension procedures are always dangerous for the nail. It is quite easy to damage a living surface, introduce an infection or fungus. Any fungal infection takes a long and painful time to treat, destroying and deforming the nail plate. In addition, constant extensions are fraught with nail dystrophy.

To extend gel nails at home, you will need files, tips, liquid disinfectant, primer, bonder, gels, brushes, ultraviolet lamp, acrylic paints and brushes.

1. Extension using forms

After you've done your manicure, start buffing your nails, but don't sand them all the way down. The shape requires a free edge of the nail two or three millimeters long. Then put on the extension form and seal the ends at the edge of the nail.

First, apply a layer of gel to half of the nail and extend it onto the form, giving it the desired length. Dry under the lamp for about a minute, then apply a second layer of gel on top, not reaching the cuticle two millimeters. Dry again, then remove and shape the nail as desired.

All that remains is to secure the form. To do this, place a drop of acrylic in the middle of the nail and spread it in both directions so that a small bump remains in the middle. Turn your hand palm up for a few seconds, then dry under the lamp in the usual position. After this, file to give the final shape. Now apply the thinnest layer of gel on top again and dry. After completing the procedure, do not wet your hands for about thirty minutes.

2. Correction

Correction of gel nails is complex and has many stages. First, push back the cuticle with a spatula. Then half of the previous gel is polished with a rough nail file. After which the real grown nail is filed down for better adhesion to the artificial nail. The nails of first one and then the other hand are alternately treated with primer, boymer and irradiated with ultraviolet light.

Then comes the next stage - applying the gel. Just like when creating a nail, you need to apply several layers of gel, drying each one under a lamp. The first layer is the thinnest, the subsequent layers are thicker. After reaching the required thickness, the remaining gel is removed with acetone. Then the shape of the nails is corrected with a nail file.

As you noticed, correction is not much different from gel nail extensions. The only difference between extensions is that the nail needs to be cut, filed, primer spread over it and the desired tip glued on. To cut tips you need to use special nippers.

There are situations when there is a need to remove false nails. The main thing is not to tear them off with improvised means, this will irreversibly damage your own nails. Each type of false nails has its own removal method. Now we will tell you about each.

To remove acrylic nails, you need to take tweezers, acetone, cotton pads and foil. To begin with, the length of the nail is reduced using tweezers. Then acetone is poured onto a cotton pad and applied to the nail. Then wrap it in foil so as not to breathe in acetone fumes. After ten minutes, remove the foil and you will see that the acrylic has almost dissolved and softened. Residues are removed with a soft nail file.

Gel nails are stronger and can only be removed with a hard nail file. With its help, you should cut off the gel, eliminating the residue with acetone. Be sure to trim off any protruding edges with nail scissors.

Contraindications

Before extensions, you should think about your health, even consult a doctor. In case of intestinal disorder and diabetes mellitus, extensions are contraindicated. Also, antibiotic treatment can become an obstacle to this cosmetic procedure.

It is very harmful to wear extended nails all the time. Once every few months you need to let your nails breathe and restore their structure.
If your nail extensions are placed incorrectly, your own nails may become deformed and cause you pain.

Care for extended nails

To keep your extended nails looking chic, rub manicure, olive and apricot oils into them. To have the most beneficial effect, the oil must be slightly warmed up. After lightly massaging the oil in, take a suede cloth and buff your nails thoroughly.

Soda baths are great for strengthening nails. A glass of hot water usually contains a tablespoon of baking soda. Once the solution is ready, dip your fingertips into it and hold for a couple of minutes. Daily procedures for one and a half weeks will help achieve the best results.

We wish you success on your difficult path to beauty.
