Tipsy is ... Gel nail extension on tipsy

Nail extensions are in demand alreadylong enough. However, the simplest question of the master about what exactly to conduct a procedure: on tips or forms, sometimes confounds. Even those who are not the first time for such services. What are tips? Is this some kind of build-up? Or is it some kind of auxiliary tool? In fact, everything is much simpler.

What it is?

Tipsy are plastic false nails thatused in the build-up. They are glued to natural, then cut with special forceps and carefully filed. There are many different types of tips that are currently used by masters.

Classical

Nails tips initially had only oneshape and were made of plastic ivory. No other simply existed. Until now, this type is called classical, because it is like for any build-up (gel, acrylic, mixed technology). Tipsy is one of the ways to create a beautiful and neat manicure even without the use of artificial materials. And you can do it yourself.

Quick manicure

Tips for nails can be used and withoutgel or acrylic. It is enough to choose the correct size of the plate, gently glue them, trim and saw. And last but not least, you need to not only freeze the free edge, giving it a shape, but also carefully polish the entire surface so that the transition between the tip and the natural nail is not noticeable. Neither visually, nor by touch. After that, you can cover the modeled nails with varnish. Such a manicure will not last too long, but for some special evening this is enough. For example, for graduation at a school or institute.

Express french

Most often it is done with gel build-up,although acrylic pros sometimes practice it. The reason for this is not quite clear, but the masters who work on this technology, often offer an express-jacket for tipsy to those who can not decide on a choice. The process itself takes much less time than with a classic full-scale build-up. However, the result is also a one-time result, then it will not be possible to correct it later.

Step # 1: Preparation

Despite the fact that this is an express-jacket, without itstage is indispensable. First remove the old covering from the nails, then free the edge to a length of 1 mm. Cuticles are removed and then removed. Usually unedged: using a special gel. The surface of the nails is degreased and ground to remove all roughness and roughness. Brush-sweep sweep the formed dust.

Step # 2: Nail bed

To glue properly French-tipsy, you needslightly extend it. Therefore, first lay a thin layer of gel-base, which is dried in an ultraviolet lamp, and then constructing a camouflage gel. Here it is something and slightly stretches beyond the natural nail bed. That's why you need to cut a free edge up to 1 mm. When the construction layer is polymerized, the nail plate is given a shape with a nail file.

Step # 3: Tips

This is the most important, but simple step. Special tips for an express jacket are glued to an elongated nail plate. Why is it simple? The French-type has a special label on the side of the free edge, for which it is convenient to hold them. When each finger is carried out the procedure, you can remove this holder with forceps. It is noteworthy that all the French-tips are made without a contact zone, which means they will not have to be cut to remove the transition between the nail and the tip.

Step # 4: Clear gel and filing

Building on tipsy does not take much time,if you prepare everything correctly. Therefore, immediately after removing the auxiliary label, a transparent gel layer is applied to the entire surface of the nails. When it is polymerized in a UV lamp, the effect is repeated. Only this time, attention is paid to the formation and strengthening in the area of ​​the stress zone. Must be correctly modeled apex (convex part of the nail). Before the final stage, everything is carefully filed and polished. Simulated nails should be as similar to natural ones. The surplus of dust formed is swept away with a brush.

Step # 5: Finish

Gel extensions on tips or forms are alwaysends with giving nails shine. For this there is a special "Finish" or "Top". Most often it looks like a normal clear varnish, only in a dark bottle, with a comfortable brush. The nails are covered with the final gel, then it is polymerized in a UV lamp. Depending on the selected company, it may or may not be necessary to remove the dispersion (sticky) layer.

How many keeps

On average, the build-up on tips is kept about3-4 weeks, after which correction is required, as natural nails under the material grow. And this, in turn, leads to the fact that the gel or acrylic begins to "creep" over the surface, the apex and stress zone shift. However, express build-up is not subject to correction. If contactless tipsy were used, as described above, then the smile line also "crawls" upward, it is not possible to return it to its place. Therefore, express-building is usually simply removed after 3 weeks. Sometimes girls decide on a full-fledged modeling of nails, and sometimes they choose naturalness instead of artificial material. This is an individual matter.

What are the forms of tips?

In addition to the classical ones, those that appeared the mostthe first, now there are many varieties. And not only in color. Forms of tips are also very different: square, pipe, stylet, age, almonds. Each in its own way is beautiful and in demand. However, the most complex forms of the master still prefer to simulate independently, without resorting to the help of tips.

disadvantages

Each girl is unique in her own way. And hands too. That's why standard tips are not always suitable, which often confront professionals. But the right size is the half of success. Another drawback of tips is that experienced masters generally do not consider them necessary. Often, the standard universal shapes and sizes are useless. In addition, the strength of the modeled nails is inferior to what was made on paper forms that consist entirely of only material.

Benefits

Many girls note that building on tipsyis carried out many times faster. And others notice that the nails are made easier and more natural. And this, of course, benefits tips. By the way, if a professional master was chosen, then, regardless of the type of build-up, the simulated nails will bring joy. It's important not to save while searching for your pros.
