Whether you’re into bold nail art or just want to keep your extensions looking fresh and fabulous, we’ve got you covered. Here’s your go-to guide for nail extensions!
Nail Extensions:
Nail extensions are basically a hard coating or a cap that extends the length and strengthens your nails. Also, for people with skin or nail problems, or those who have poor or brittle nails.
But keeping them in normal daily life is not as easy. Especially if you or your hands are exposed to too much water and chemicals. Below are listed some of the most common types of nail extensions.
1.Acrylic Nails:
Acrylic is a mixture of powder polymer and a liquid monomer that makes a hard, thick coating once it dries. It's shiny and smooth and protects nails from breaking (unless, of course, you apply too much pressure).
They are known for their durability and strength, aren't too expensive are widely available. Plus, they are super easy to repair if broken. But they can look really weird if not applied properly, plus they require regular infills.
2.Gel Nails:
They use a gel-based formula cured under UV or LED light. They are lighter, glossier, smoother, and look more natural than the acrylics. Plus, they are also more flexible and do not easily break. And one big difference is that the raw material (gel) is completely odor-free. So it's preferred by many people regardless of the not-so-pocket-friendly price.
3. Polygel nails:
These can be called half and half, a hybrid, or a mix of acrylic and gel. It comes with the strength of acrylic with the flexibility of gel. Easier to mold and relatively less messy than acrylic for sure.
They are so easy to apply that most of the DIY nail art at home or without professional help is done with this, easily.
How To Maintain Nail Extensions
Every part of our body requires maintenance, whether they are treated or not. But when we spend so much money on anything, keeping it in good shape just makes sense, so it lasts longer and stays worth it.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to water and chemicals. You can wear gloves while washing or cleaning.
- Check if they are breaking or cracking. Visit your nail technician every two to three weeks. And make sure to get them changed after a period.
- Moisturize, massage, and care for them daily to make sure they remain soft, reduce dryness, and have healthy nail beds.
- Give your nails a break after some time; too many chemicals, especially acetone, are very harmful to skin and nails.
- Last but not least, always try to get your nails removed by a professional to prevent damaging your natural nails.
