How to restore nails after gel polish

Creation of gel varnish created a furor in the world of beauty and style. Each representative of the "beautiful half", who wants to look stylish and fashionable, applies this coating on her nails. It is resistant to external aggressive effects, quite a long time, beautifully and evenly placed on the nail plate and allows you to roam the fantasy in the process of application. But a moment comes when the gel polish needs to be removed and to assess the condition of the nails without it.

Often, after removing the coating, you can see that the nails have lost their former health and beauty, become thin, brittle and dull. These negative effects of gel polish can not but upset, especially since the situation is likely to worsen, if time does not take measures to improve the nails. In this article we will look at ways to restore them after gel polish.

The revolutionary gel polish formula turned the sphere of manicure and ideas about the beauty of women's hands. It has certain advantages over ordinary varnish: it is more durable, has an extensive palette of colors and shades, has a gloss that attracts looks and creates conditions for creativity and creativity. But as after the procedure of gel lacquer extension, and after simply applying it on the nails, many users notice the appearance of problems with their health. Namely:

• Nail plates become soft and thin.
• Nails are sensitive to temperature changes., after touching the hot water, itch, itch and exfoliate.
• Corrupted appearance: a rough or wavy surface appears, healthy shine disappears, nail color fades, unhealthy yellowness appears.
• Nails break from even a little physical stress for them.

The nail is a horny plate, which consists of an infinite set of elastic, layered on each other beta keratin scales. Despite the appearance of a solid and smooth surface, it has a layered and porous structure. This fact allows him to saturate with the necessary vital moisture, but it also allows moisture to bleed out, causing the stratum corneum to dry out.

The process of applying gel varnish consists of several consecutive steps:

• Processing buff or nail files - carried out in order to eliminate the upper layer of the nail for good adhesion to the gel coating;
• Applying special fluids (degreaser, primer, base coat) to prepare the nail for the gel coating;
• Drawing several layers of color gel varnish;
• Drawing a top finishing layercreating brilliance and effective protection from external influences.

In this case, all layers are dried in the UV lamp for a specific time-specific gel polish determined by the manufacturer of this particular gel polish. After applying for two days it is not recommended to expose the coating to water due to the incompleteness of the polymerization process. Also, do not try to remove the lacquer yourself because of the high probability of damage to the surface of the stratum corneum.

Bundling nails contribute to the error manicure masters in this technology of applying gel varnish:

• Removed too thick layer of natural nail and too much load is placed on the remaining thin;
• No recommended primer or degreaser layer is applied.which provides additional traction of natural and artificial surfaces.
• Substandard cosmetics also contribute to the occurrence of painful consequences. For example: a sufficiently high quality lacquer consists of polymers (for strength and glossy gloss), plasticizers (for elasticity and strength), pigments (responsible for the color solution) and solvents (for uniformity of composition). These components do not cause serious harm to the health of the nails, but any additional ones can.
• The master did not adhere to the time limits of drying in the UV lamp and "overexposed" hands under it;
• Tools in the cabin are not subject to the necessary sanitation, as a result, the master brought a fungus that inexorably spoils the nail plate.
• Correct withdrawal (by special means and adhering to a certain technology) also plays a significant role in maintaining the health of the nail plate.

Other causes of nail splitting are:

• Hormonal changes in the body, related to the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• Medication intakeincluding antibiotics;
• Stress state due to nervous shock or overwork;
• Condition of beriberi, which is typical for many regions of our country.
• Serious illnessrequiring a full medical examination.

There is no consensus about how much time there should be a break between applying gel polish on the nails. Some manicurists say that new layers can be applied immediately after removing the old ones. Others claim that this coverage is very harmful, so they should not be abused, and hold the opinion “the longer the break, the better”. Let us dwell on the most common version:

• First of all, clients of nail salons should adequately assess the health of their nails.: the worse their appearance after removing the gel polish, the more different restorative procedures need to be made. Therefore, the rehabilitation period should be delayed until their full recovery and will last several months.
• Even in the absence of any major problems a break is required. Based on the practical observation of highly qualified specialists in the field of nail business, it is possible to apply and adjust the gel nail polish for 12 weeks (this leaves an average of 4 visits to a nail salon in a row). After that, you need a monthly "vacation" with the use of various care and rehabilitation procedures. After that, you can again apply the gel coating and enjoy the impeccable appearance of the hands.
