Gel Nails – The the new trend for nail art

WEBMASTER — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 00:48:22 +0000

What is Gel Nails?
The latest sensation in the nail art field is the use of nail art gel. These gels can give a perfect and attractive look to your nail. The problem with these gels is that there are various steps to be followed in order to attain proper results. The application of nail art gel is more complex than the normal nail art designs. Now let us see the various steps that accounts for the difficulties. The first step usually involves cleaning the nail properly. Before cleaning the nails, wash your hands properly. This can be done easily with the help of a nail cleanser. The next step is to remove the shine of a nail. For this, you should make use of a nail filer. Now your nail is ready for the application of the nail art gel. If you feel that you need a more attractive finish, you can very well apply a layer of primer on your nails. Now you should apply the nail art gel in the same way as you apply a nail polish. Now comes the toughest part. Before the gel dries, the nail art design has to be inscribed onto the nail. This is the step that requires lots of skill and so it can only be done by a professional nail artist. After laying the required design onto the nails, it has to be dried under UV rays.

After this, another layer of nail art gel has to be applied all over the nail. Make sure that all parts of the nail are coated properly. The application of the second layer of gel is to make sure that the design does not get tampered easily. So, if necessary, another layer of gel can be applied onto the nails. After this application, the nails have to be left alone for at least two minutes. After the expiry of two minutes, the nail art is complete. If you feel that the surface of your nails is uneven, then you can make use of the nail filer and make it even. After the filing process, you should remove the dust particles that results from filing. You should then clean your nails with a proper nail cleanser to remove all unwanted dust particles. If needed, you can apply another layer of nail art gel and cure your nails for another two minutes. Thus we can see that the use of nail art gel may be a great advantage but with a little added cost which is incurred by hiring a professional nail artist.

How to Take care of Acrylic Nails

WEBMASTER — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 06:33:01 +0000

Here is how you would take care of your acrylic nails:
More and more women are choosing the acrylic route in their quest for longer and thicker nails. These artificial nails, made out of a gel-like combination of acrylic powder and liquid mixture, are attached to the natural finger nails with nail glue. Acrylic nails provide an immediate solution for nails that are too short or too weak to grow long. They also offer versatility with nail decorations. When professionally done, acrylic nails can last from two to three weeks (depending on how fast your natural nails grow) before needing a “fill-in”. However, improper care of acrylic nails could cause serious damage to your natural nails; leading to things like fungi growth or nail splitting. To get the best of your acrylic nail experience here are some nail care tips:

1. Treat acrylic nails like your real nails. It doesn’t matter how thick or strong they may appear to you. Don’t use them for ‘hard labour’ like opening heavily sealed packages or tins. Don’t bite them.

2. Always keep them dry. Prevent water from remaining underneath your nails by towel-drying your nails after bathing or cleaning. Water is very dangerous to acrylics and could lead to bacteria and fungi formation. Washing your hands with antibacterial soap also helps.

3. Clean underneath long acrylic nails every night. One of the best ways is to soak a cotton bud with rubbing alcohol and swab underneath the fingers and around it, to get rid of dirt build-up.

4. Visit a manicurist at the first sight of new nail growth. Not doing so often causes acrylic nails to chip or crack, this could lead to pain and discomfort. Also visit your manicurist when you experience discolouration and ‘lifting’.

5. Discontinue use of acrylic nails if allergic reactions occur. These reactions to the chemicals used to prepare the acrylic could be in the form of inflammation of the skin or dermatitis, peeling and redness on the nail’s skin.

6. Avoid DIY removal of acrylics. Yes, you can take them off at home by soaking the nails in a nail polish remover that has Acetone, but to prevent nail damage, this task is best left to the professionals at the nail salon.
