How
to extend nails at home with Neways Gel?
In order to make a quality
gel nail extension at home you will need to know some
rules and peculiarities of uv gel nail extension. Sometimes
women extend their nails at home but ignore taking the learning
course and face a problem of gel peeling. Gel might separate
from the nail creating a gap between nail and gel. The reasons
of such peeling can lie not only in the wrong nail preparation
(wrong nail polishing). To prepare your hands you should pay
attention to three main requirements:
- you should use hand lotion the day you want to try uv gel
nail extension. The thing is that skin cells don't absorb
all the substances that a lotion contains. In some time after
extension "the substances" are pushed out and the gap is formed
between nail and gel
- before the extension you should remove the cuticle very
properly
- don't try extension one day before your period or during
it
Besides that, the gel can peel off if you take antibiotics
or hormonal preparation, sometimes even during pregnancy.
But these reasons are very individual.
Proper preparation before applying gel is very important as
well. You should polish (lift the fluff) the nail surface
to get rid of glossy spots especially in cuticle area. But
you don't have to press hard on the nail file. The cuticle
area is the most sensitive and can be easily deformed. If
you see the nail layers that are peeled off, you should file
them off.
Steps of extending crystal uv gel
nails:
1. Form the free nail edge.
2. Fold the cuticle (using the little spade, lift it and enfold
inside).
3. Polish the nail.
4. Put on a stencil (it has to fit tightly to the nail)
5. Apply one layer of the gel (very tightly) on half of your
own nail and go on until you reach the desired length on the
stencil.
6. Dry for 1 minute in ultraviolet lamp for firming the gel.
7. Apply the second layer covering the whole surface of the
nail, leaving the distance of 3-4 mm to cuticle.
8. Dry for one minute.
9. Take off the stencil carefully.
10. Use the file to give the nail the desired form.
11. Apply a lot gel on the brush and then apply it on the
nail center and stretch in different directions to create
a hump in the center.
12. Turn the palm upside down for a few seconds.
13. Dry for 3-4 minutes (in a regular position).
14. Using the file give the nail final form.
15. Apply the last thin gel layer.
16. Wait until it is completely dry.
17. Cover with ultraviolet (to avoid the nails getting yellow).
18. Apply lotion on hands (you can add the aroma oil)
