Gels for nail extensions

In order for nail extensions to be of high quality, you need to choose a good gel that is not a counterfeit of the original.

You can pay attention to the following means:

Balance Basic Clear Gel. Has 2 colors. The gel is single-phase.
High quality – comfortable price. This gel can even be used at home.
It has virtually no odor and is one of the few safe gels. Excellent for three-phase systems.
Irisk Professional. Holds firmly on nails and is easy to apply. The top layer does not peel off.

To make the right choice, you should pay attention to:

Consistency. It should not be of medium viscosity.

Gel nail care

A distinctive feature of nails extended using gel is their similarity to natural ones. Just like those given to us by nature, they need special, careful care. The big plus is that the polish lasts much longer and is stronger, which means you will have to do your nails much less often.

On average, correction is carried out after the first extension twice a month. Later, one visit to the master per month will be enough. It is ideal that throughout all stages of creating nails and subsequent correction, this is done by the same professional. However, if you have the desire and opportunity, you can paint them yourself. For this you need the most common varnishes and top coats.

Attention:

Nail polish remover should not contain acetone.

Once the gel manicure has been removed, the question arises, how to care for the nail plates? The answer is very simple. You just need to do salt and oil baths that will nourish, moisturize, and saturate the nail plate with useful minerals. In addition, it is important to take care of the skin of your fingers and hands. For a beautiful and healthy look, you need to moisturize it twice a day, keeping it from drying out.

To carry out gel extensions, it is extremely important to have a healthy nail plate. If there is damage or infection, the problems are likely to get worse.
There should be no cuticles at all, as well as hangnails and other damage.
Critical days are a reason to refuse the procedure. Otherwise, a riot of hormones and a weakened body will lead to loss of nails.
The same should be done if the client is taking antibiotics or other drugs.
On the day of the procedure, you cannot use creams; it will be hard on the skin of your hands and fingers.
When drying your nails, there should be no unpleasant sensation or discomfort, as well as burning. If this is felt, it means that the layer was too dense, and this in turn indicates that the material is of rather low quality and from such a procedure you may not get beautiful nails, but lose your loved ones.
If you want to strengthen your own nails after the extension procedure, you should consult a doctor for detailed advice. He will prescribe suitable medications containing calcium, minerals and vitamins.

It is strictly forbidden to remove your nails yourself! Only a master will carefully and correctly perform this procedure, without damaging natural nails. You can also get recommendations and advice on caring for your nails from him.

Services that help maintain or create beauty have always been in demand, especially by the fair half of humanity. You need to take care of your nails no less carefully than you take care of your facial skin or hair.

Agree, people pay attention to their hands almost everywhere - in a store, in an office, among friends, and even more so with girlfriends. It’s good if nature rewarded you with beautiful and strong nails. But even then, they require care to keep them looking neat and attractive.

To do this, at a minimum, you need to do manicures and pedicures regularly. For those who have been deprived by nature, there is such a service as artificial nail extensions.

Thanks to the ideal base coating, the design of extended nails 2020-2021 can be made using any technique.

Decor elements

Gel nails (photos, beautiful decorative elements in 2020) will be discussed further:

Various types of stencils. With their help, you can draw anything on your nails - from hearts to spirals and geometric shapes. Stencils have an advantage over other decorative elements, because thanks to such stickers you can not only depict an interesting design, but also decorate everything with an interesting color scheme. The manicure can be two-color, decorated with holographic powder or glitter.
Round beads for nails. Thanks to them, you can give the coating volume and highlight certain areas of it.
Textured coating - sugar. A manicure using it is called sand or sugar. Nails become velvety and pleasant to the touch.
Colored sequins. Different color schemes for this decorative element allow you to show your imagination and perform a manicure in an interesting style.
Melange. Looks like small multi-colored grains. With its help, you can “rub in” or simply cover your nails over the top.
Costume jewelry or jewelry. If you don’t have time to think about the design, you can choose a suitable decoration and stick it to your nails. This design looks beautiful and unusual.
Magnetic rubbing. In order to get the desired effect, you need to cover your nails with a dark color, then with a base. A rub is applied on top of the base coat, which is further modified by a magnet. After the desired effect is achieved, the nails need to be dried in a lamp.
Various shapes of rhinestones. Glue on top of the top.
Pigment with thermal effect. Such coatings can change color with changes in temperature. If, for example, you put your hand in cold or hot water, the color scheme of your nails will change.
Mesh with holographic effect. Apply over colored varnish.

Legal features of business

Nail extension as a business requires not only professional, but also legal competence. Some craftsmen prefer to work without state registration, so as not to spend money on paying taxes. This is justified only at the initial stage, when you have not yet decided whether this type of activity is suitable for you or not.

Organizational and legal form

For organizing a manicure salon, the individual entrepreneur form is best suited. It is easy to register and easy to cancel (if necessary). And the entire process of preparing documents will take much less time than when registering an LLC.

Tax scheme

The ideal option is the simplified tax system. Either 6% or 15% (excluding costs). If UTII is valid for hairdressing and beauty services in your region, you can choose that too. Some also dwell on the patent tax system. But keep in mind that in this case the costs of contributions to the Pension Fund are not taken into account.

Extension techniques

There are 3 technologies for nail extensions:

single-phase;
two-phase;
three-phase.

Single-phase represents the use of a small amount of materials:

After applying the primer in one layer, you need to cover your nails with a single-phase gel and dry it in a lamp.
Next, you need to take a drop of gel with a brush and spread it over the nail bed in a circular motion.
The two-phase technique involves applying a rubber base after the primer.
After this stage, you need to dip the brush again into the jar of gel, and apply the resulting drop of material to the nail, stretching part of it to the free edge.
You need to dry the coating in a lamp, turning your hand with your nails down.
After the coating has dried, you need to apply the base.
Using circular movements, the camouflage gel is applied to the nails, modeling them. The final result dries well in the lamp.

The three-phase technique includes the use of three drugs:

After applying the primer, it is necessary to apply a rubber base.
After drying it in a lamp, the next layer is applied with gel, which also dries well.
Before moving on to the next step, it is important to remove the remaining sticky layer.
Varnish or any other coating is applied, which is then secured with a topcoat.

Design ideas, new items for 2020

3D modeling. By applying the gel in several layers and drawing a picture on each of them or gluing a decorative element, an interesting design is obtained.
Rhinestones, beads, sequins, metal threads. With their help, you can lay out any pattern from laconic to catchy, eye-catching. Some women decorate their nails with Swarovski crystals.
Nude tones. For a light, delicate manicure, light, flesh-colored shades are used. When you apply glitter of the same color over the gel, you get not only a discreet look, but also a little festive, with which you can attend important meetings and social events.
The ombre technique is relevant not only last year, but also now, despite the great competition among various designs.
Like ombre, French has proven itself for a very long time. It is performed not only in white and pink shades, but also in any others. To make it more impressive, some craftsmen add sparkles.
Lunar manicure. A hole is made at the base of the nail in any of the desired colors. This design hides overgrown nails well if done in flesh tones.
Negative space. A certain part in the shape of any desired figure stands out on the nail. This fragment remains transparent, and the rest of the nail is covered with the desired color. This design looks very unusual and beautiful.

Choosing a manicure for extended nails 2020-2021 for autumn and winter

Autumn draws its own patterns on your nails, so in the fall, allow yourself to decorate your nails with stylish floral and animal themes, original contrasting solutions with an emphasis on the restraint of the image, or vice versa - on its showiness.

Let’s not forget about such techniques as frames, embossing, geometry, veils and other interesting ways of decorating marigolds.

In cold weather, blizzards, snow and pre-holiday days, only the blind will not notice a lot of incredible beauties that inspire stylish experiments in nail art.

You can always decorate a manicure for extended nails 2020-2021 with magnificent New Year and winter patterns, fantastic pictures and paintings, wonderful drawings of animals, attributes of the New Year holidays, etc.

It is during this period that the design of extended nails has no restrictions in the choice of decor, because it can combine shimmering elements in the form of glitter, manicure gold, rubs, confetti and rhinestones in the right quantity.

Note that pebbles, glitter, rubs and foil, like other elements, can be included in the evening design of extended nails, and can also be used in everyday nail art of this type, but in smaller quantities. A luxurious manicure can be done not only in cold seasons, the main thing is that your style is in perfect harmony with your nail design.

We invite you to evaluate the professionalism of the masters by looking at successful examples, for which creating wonderful extended nails with a chic design will not be difficult.

Rules for choosing a nail extension method

Tips are plastic overlays that imitate a nail. They are glued onto natural nails with glue and filed along the top to smooth out the joint between the natural nail and the tip. The nail is given the required shape (square/oval/circle, etc.). For better strengthening, the tips are coated with gel or acrylic. Overlays are recommended for use on short nails.

Forms are templates that are fixed under the natural nail for working on an artificial nail. Using special marks on the forms with gel, you can immediately sculpt the required length and shape.

Templates are cardboard with foil, metal or plastic applied. Templates can be disposable (soft) or reusable (dense). Forms are used on nails with a length of 1-2 mm. The trapezoidal shape of the nail plate also implies extensions on forms.

For wide nails, both extension options are suitable.

Where to begin

The first thing to do to start a nail business is to undergo training. There are a considerable number of courses lasting on average from 2 to 4 months. Visiting them allows you to learn the subtleties and secrets of this skill.

Another reason for the need to undergo training is the opportunity to obtain appropriate documents confirming the level of skill.

When choosing manicure courses or schools, it is not a bad idea to make inquiries about teachers, since only a highly qualified master can teach how to do nails for a business lady and talk about the intricacies of the process.

The average cost of courses varies from 10 to 30 thousand rubles, depending on the duration and qualifications of the teachers. Some manicure schools offer their graduates vacancies in existing beauty salons.

After completing the training, the self-training stage follows. It involves searching for a vacancy as a manicurist in beauty salons. The work will allow you to gain practical skills, which will be very useful when you independently decide to open a nail extension business at home.

It should be borne in mind that a simple manicure is somewhat different from fashionable extensions. When performing a manicure or pedicure procedure, excess skin and overgrown cuticles are removed, the nail plate is strengthened and coated with varnish if desired by the customer.

Nail extensions are a business that involves not only manicure manipulations, but also additional enlargement of the natural nail with tips, acrylic or gel.

What is needed for nail extensions on forms

Gel nails (photos, beautiful ideas for extensions in 2020 can be seen below) can be extended independently, but first of all you need to decide on a basic set of necessary tools:

Gel extensions for short and problematic nails

In addition, one more point cannot be ignored. Owners of even the shortest nails can be happy with the creation of gel extensions. Most people who turn to professionals have less than perfect nails. They may be very short, nibbled, or have some other problem. Before you begin to analyze the solution to these issues, you should make a small list of those criteria that will be responsible for the beauty and durability of the manicure:

The sides of the nail that has been extended should be parallel to each other.
There should be no steps, cuts, or any deformations.
Small thickness and complete “solubility” in the cuticle and free edge areas.
The end should not exceed the thickness of the plastic card.
Perfectly smooth surface.

The most problematic nails are:

Trapezoidal. They are quite difficult to work with.
Bitten, with missing nail edges, exposed areas of the nail bed.
Severely broken nails.

Even when faced with these and similar problems, a good master will first help solve the problems and restore beauty and strength to the nails, and only then, when all the problems have been solved, will deal with proper extensions.
