How to use fiberglass nail extension?

When it comes to applying fiberglass nail extensions they are really simple to use. All you have to do is paste the tip at your real nail and once it becomes dry, spray the setting spray over it which incubates it and heightens its toughness, and freezes it up making it look like a nail as a whole.

  • Nail filer for adjusting the shape of the nails

The most common kind of question that we all have in mind is that are nail extensions permanent? Well, the answer to this question is no, they are not. They are not permanent because they are just supplementary chemical products to give unattractive look to the nails for a certain period of time.

Nail extensions or a nail overlay can be used for a specific period of time but not permanently because it is not natural. The biggest reason why don’t need the nail extensions to be permanent is that the nails need fresh air and oxygen to breathe. The nails require oxygen just like our body which will keep them healthy and their growth natural. If you keep nail extensions for a lot of time, then your nails will not get enough air which will make them weak and brittle. They will crack more over time and would start decaying. Thus, itis not advisable to use nail extensions for a long period of time.

  1. Hardening process 

Acrylic nail extensions are fixed with the help of contacting air to dry it, while the gel nail extension is fixed by using the UV-light which more expensive process and you will need special equipment for it.

Acrylic nail extensions are hard and thus durable too. The gel nail extensions are softer than acrylic nails are not as durable.

Acrylic nail extensions are less likely to be cracked except struck with a heavy force while the gel nail extension is prone to be damaged easily.

  1. Ease of removal

Acrylic nail extensions are more comfortable to use and remove off while the gel nail extension needs specialized tools to take it off.

  1. Maintaining the nails

Acrylic nails do not need much preservation while gel nail extensions need every 2 weeks subsistence.

  1. Expenditure of the nail extension 

Acrylic nails are less costly as related to more expensive gel nails because of the substance and equipment that are used in the application of both kinds of nail extensions.

  1. Long-lasting 

Acrylic nails are more lasting because they are tougher. The average lasting span for acrylic nails is 3 weeks while the gel nails are not that durable or long-lasting and they last for about 2 weeks and need a refill.

  1. Appearance and feel

Acrylic nails resemble a bit model of the real nail while gel nail extensions look extra realistic.

  • You need to fill a bowl with a nail paint remover and soak your hands in the solution in it.
  • Once you have dipped your hands in the bowl, soak it well for a minimum of 30 minutes so that your nails get coated with the solution completely.
  • Once you have completely soaked your nails, start peeling off the extensions softly and slowly which will leave you with original nails in the end.
  • Once you have removed the nail extensions, clean your nails with lukewarm water and apply some moisturizer after you dry your nails.

Nail extensions shall never be removed by yourself and instead should be taken care of by the professional who is at the parlor. Removing nails by yourself can damage your original nails. The professions are trained and know the proper way of removing the nail extensions.

  • You need to buy a proper kit with tools for removing your nail extensions.

If you are not a first-timer and you have got yourself a nail extension, you will be able to relate to the fact that after getting nail extensions, you feel like you are the only girl in the world. There is something about getting a nail extension that makes you feel good. That’s why many girls stalk the fashion accounts on Instagram which involves amazing styles and manicures. Acrylics, gel overlays, acrylic extensions, there are so many styles that you can use. So if you’re new to nail extensions you are in the correct place. But before you make your first … or your tenth appointment to the nail salon, here are some tips that you need to know:

1. There Are Two Types—Gel & Acrylic

Acrylic and gel nails might seem like they are something the same but the fact is that they are totally different. When we talk of acrylic nails, the tip is glued to the end of the nails and then a mixture of powder is applied which helps it to dry faster. When we use gel manicure, on the other hand, we apply a pre-made mix to the nail beforehand. If you want longer nails, then you must stick to acrylic nails while if you think o getting more natural-looking nails, then gel nails are for you.

2. Time-Consuming & Expensive

If you get your nails made by an expert professional, then on the fairer side, your manicure concourse will last for about an hour. But, if you get your nails done by a nail tech who has the more inferior practice, then on the normal side your manicure sitting will last for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. While we’re on the topic of spending time let’s discuss paying money. Getting nail extensions and acquiring refills will definitely cost you some bucks. So before you book your meeting you must know that nail extensions are going to fetch you a lot of time and cash.

3. You’ll Need A Professional Nail Technician

It is very essential to know that you will visit the nail professional for applying for the nail extension. But some people removing them is easy and they do it at home using some acetone and nail filer. But it is not a great idea. Removing nail extensions without the help of the expert would result in damaged nail beds and cuticles and will weaken the nails too. Thus always visits the nail expert for getting or removing nails.

4. They Last For 3-4 Weeks

Even if we want that these nails must last forever, they don’t. They will only last for a maximum of 4 weeks. After a week, you can start seeing some gap between your nail extension and your cuticle because the nail has grown since then. To fix them, you will either have to get them removed or remove the extensions completely. No matter what you decide, take the help of a professional.

5. Brittle Nails

While it is said that nail extensions can harm your nail and make it brittle, don’t go word by word for it. While it is true that nail extensions can harm your nails, but if the professional is taking the necessary instructions and done with safe and tested products, there is no need to worry about the damage. Once you have got your nail extensions done, you will need the advice of your professional on the aftercare and the maintenance.

  • Before you get your nail extensions done, make sure you search for someone who is well-trained and follows all the hygiene practices. Don’t go looking for the most expensive one, rather than try and look for someone skilled.
  • Do not feel tempted to prepare before for your nails and let the professional do their job. Different nail extensions might need different kinds of pre-care keeping in mind the shape and size of the nails. So let the professionals handle it.
  • Be ready to spend at least 2 hours in the salon or you to get a good manicure. Patience is the key here.
  • Do not plan another appointment after your first one because the nails need some time to heal naturally before you put them through the same task again.
  • There is more than 1 nail extension and so you need to make a clear picture in your mind of what nail extension would you like to have. Discuss and take the advice of the professional and they will guide you better towards it.
  • Make sure that you are ready to deliver the kind of maintenance and care that is needed by the nail extension.
  • Nail extensions are not advisable for women who are pregnant that is because of the chemicals involved during getting the nail extensions.

Know that getting your self nail extensions would involve your money and time. So thus you must take good care of your nail extension too. Besides, not taking good care of your nails can also damage your nails permanently. So here are some tips that you can try and observe as your aftercare and Maintainance of the nail extensions.

  • You must not do certain activities like biting, peeling o picking your nails because it might disfigure the structure of your nails and might mess up your extensions.
  • You need to wear rubber gloves if you want to work using chemicals or detergents with your nail extensions.
  • Make sure that you moisturize your hands and use cuticle oil on your cuticles to let them remain healthy.
  • Do not use your nail extensions as a tool.
  • Make sure you book appointments at the same salon for your touch-ups, refills, and clip your real nails.
  • Contact the nail professional in case your nails are chipping or coming off. Do not try to do anything by yourself at home.
  • Dry your hands after every wash and moisturize them daily without fail.
  • Make sure you do not go near the naked flame or high heat with your nail extensions because it might cause them to melt.
  • If you do not want your nails to stain, apply a base coat before you apply nail paint on your gel nail extensions.
  • It is important to have fun with your nails. Even though you might have gotten a sam nail art from the salon, you can try other designs for the same nail tips before it gets too monotonous. You can do it yourself by simply removing the nail paint from your nails using a nail remover. Do not use acetone and be creative!

After reviewing everything about nail extensions, I would suggest that you must get nail extensions for your nails for a good look during some special events and functions. However, do not use it too regularly and for a long period of time because it will start damaging your nails and can result in decay and infection in your original nails too. Thus it is a fun way to look cool but not advised for along period of time.
