Every girl's dream is beautiful and well-groomed hands... For various reasons, not all women can grow long nails to make their hands appear graceful and sophisticated. They are helped by two types of nail extension, acrylic and gel. This article is about gel building and the main trends in nail design 2018.
Pros of the gel
Gel is a modern material for nail extension. In terms of its properties, it is the closest to the properties of a natural nail than acrylic. The gel cures in a special UV lamp or LED lamp. A significant plus - the gel is odorless. Once cured, the gel creates a durable, shiny surface that can be applied to a variety of designs. In addition, a material such as gel spoils nails less, which is a plus of gel extension.
The gel material on the nails is very durable, it is worn for a long time, mostly more than four weeks. Most often, girls turn to a nail stylist for extension earlier, because a grown nail looks ugly. Gel nail extension allows you to choose any length and shape.
Cons of the gel
There are a little more disadvantages to nail extension. Some types of gels, when dried in a lamp, can "bake", which of course does not have a positive effect on the natural nail plate.
When removing gel nails, the material is cut down, while its natural plate becomes thinner. Some girls, after extending nails with gel, for a long time cannot put them in order again, even using various strengthening agents for the nail plates.
At wearing gel nails cracks may appear due to a strong temperature difference, this is especially common in winter, which will lead the girl to correction. And if the gel plate breaks down altogether, then it is impossible to "repair" it, you will have to do the extension on this nail again.
In some cases, it happens that the gel peels off your nail... This will also be followed by a correction. Using cheap, low-quality material is likely to lead to disastrous results.
Despite some disadvantages of gel nails, many people prefer this particular material. If the girl decided to build her nails for the first time, then it is better to consult with the master, he will be able to recommend the most suitable way to build her nails, taking into account the type and structure of the nails.
