General info

Despre unghii tehnice...

Unghiile false reprezinta alegerea perfecta pentru un eveniment special, o petrecere, pentru vacanta si de ce nu, pentru a avea zi de zi o manichiura impecabila ce se potriveste personalitatii tale!

Ai unghii mici, casante, inegale ce se exfoliaza mereu?

Atunci unghiile false sunt solutia perfecta pentru tine! Prin aplicarea unghiilor tehnice de care un profesionist poti avea o manichiura de invidiat!
Este foarte important ca unghiile tehnice sa aiba un aspect natural ( daca se alege o forma naturala - ovala, square sau almond) si sa incadreze perfect forma unghiei naturale, a degetelor si a mainii.
In cazul in care esti posesoarea unor unghii naturale sanatoase, lungi, cu format frumos si vrei sa le pastrezi acest aspect, poti opta pentru protectia unghiilor cu gel sau cu acryl. Astfel ele isi vor pastra forma naturala, dar vor nu va mai exista pericolul de a se exfolia sau a fi casante si de ce nu, le poti adauga putina personalitate printr-un design special.
Un adevarat profesionist va poate ghida in alegerea formei ce va avantajeaza!

Despre tipurile de unghii false si formele acestora...
Unghiile tehnice pot fi realizate din gel sau din acryl, construite sau cu tips.
Ca si decoratii, puteti opta pentru un simplu si clasic french permanent, sau puteti avea unghiile intr-o singura culoare permanenta (astfel nu veti mai avea problema ojei care sare, se crapa sau se zgarie), sau, de ce nu puteti alege Nail Art-ul.
Nail Art. Tradus din engleza, termenul defineste arta unghiilor, iar unghiile tehnice ne ofera posibilitatea de a avea picturi pe unghii in diferite tehnici, diverse culori, nuante, cu aplicatii ( folie de aur, argint, sau sidef natural, flori naturale, dantela, pene, cristale Swarovski ) sau cu decoratii in relief.
Cand vorbim despre formele unghiilor, putem alege dintr-o mare varietate de forme:

  •  ALMOND
  • EDGE
  • OVAL 
  •  PIPE
  • SQUARE
  • STILETTO



Tin sa mentionez ca mai exista si alte forme particulare precum BRIDGE, OBELE, s.a. pe care le voi prezenta intr-o postare viitoare.


Ce trebuie sa stiu despre unghiile false inainte de a opta pentru aceastea ?

Unghiile tehnice trebuie montate intotdeauna de catre un profesionist ce a urmat cursuri de specialitate!

Unghiile false trebuie intretinute. Aceasta operatiune se realizeaza la 2-3 saptamani, in functie de fiecare clienta si in functie de sezon. Dupa perioada ce depaseste 3 saptamani, unghiile isi pierd treptat rezistenta, devenind casante. Intretinerea acestora este mai greu de realizat, uneori unghiile tehnice trebuie indepartate si inlocuite deoarece produsul este deteriorat si nu mai poate face fata stresului zilnic la care este supus.

Produsele chimice precum detergentii ( de vase, textile, produse de curatat menajere, etc) slabesc rezistenta unghiilor false.ATENTIE la contactul cu acestea - este preferabil sa purtati manusi de protectie!

Un alt produs ce dauneaza grav unghiilor false este ACETONA. Niciodata nu aplicati acetona pe acestea. In cazul in care ati folosit un lac de unghii pe care doriti sa-l schimbati, stergeti unghiile false cu dizolvant special fara acetona. Va recomand cu incredere sa nu folositi acetona nici pe unghiile naturale deoarece este un produs dur, ce afecteaza treptat sanatatea unghiilor. Folositi si in cazul unghiilor naturale dizolvant fara acetona!

Inainte de aplicarea unghiilor false NU se realizeaza manichiura clasica si NU se taie cuticulele!

Pentru o cat mai buna hidratare zilnica a mainilor si unghiilor, se recomanda aplicarea unei creme hidratante de maini si ulei de cuticule. Sanatatea voastra conteaza!

Cand se doreste renuntarea la unghiile false, intotdeauna aceasta operatiune trebuie efectuata de catre un tehnician. Unghiile false nu se zmulg/dezlipesc acasa! Acest procedu afecteaza grav unghiile naturale, de unde provine si mitul "unghiile false deterioreaza unghiile naturale" care de fapt ar trebui continuat cu : "daca unghiile tehnice nu sunt indepartate corespunzator"
.
In cazul in care ti s-a deteriorat o unghie falsa nu aplica adeziv obijuit! (SuperGlue, Picatura, s.a.).Acesta poate afecta grav unghia naturala! Foloseste un lipici special de tipsuri sau incearca sa scurtezi unghia prin pilire pana la programarea la tehnician.

Avantajele unghiilor tehnice:
  • manichiura impecabila
  • rezolva problema unghiilor mici si fragile ce nu se mai exfoliaza si nu se mai rup
  • se renunta la obiceiul roaderii unghiilor
  • poti alege dintr-o mare varietate de forme si culor ce iti vor scoate mainile in evidenta
  • 3 saptamani nu iti mai ridici problema manichiurii
  • oja rezista mai mult
  • posibilitatea unui design inedit

About nail extensions ….

Technical nails are the best choice for a special event, a party, vacancy and why not for having a wonderful manicure every day.

Do you have small natural nails that crack, and are exfoliating?

Then the nail extensions are the perfect solution for you! If you choose a good nail technician you can have a fantastic manicure that represents your personality.
It is very important for the nail extensions to have a natural aspect (if you choose a natural shape – oval, square or almond) and to fit perfectly your natural nails, fingers and hand.
In case that you are the lucky possessor of long, healthy, beautiful nails and you want to keep them that way, the nail protection with gel or acryl represents the perfect solution for you! They will not break, exfoliate and you can choose a nice design! 
A good nail tech can guide you to choose the perfect shape that advantages you!


About nail extensions type and shapes….

Nail extensions can be made with gel or acryl, on tips or on nail forms.
For decorating them, you can choose a simple and classic permanent French, a color or nail art. The Nail Art offers us the possibility to have our nails painted in different techniques, colors, shades, with applications (golden, silver, shell foil, lace, feathers, Swarovski crystals, rhinestones, etc) or 3D decorations.

When we talk about nail shapes, we can choose from a large variety: 

ALMOND
EDGE
OVAL
 PIPE
SQUARE
STILETTO



I have to mention that there are other particular shapes like BRIDGE, OBELE, etc - that I will present into a future post.

What should I know about nail extensions before applying? 

Nail extensions should be done by a nail technician that followed specialized courses. Nail extensions have to be mentioned once every 2-3 weeks in function of client and season. After 3 weeks the nails are losing their resistance, and they may break. Sometimes, after this period, the nail extensions should be removed and replaced.

Stay away from chemical products like dishwasher/ textile detergent. It is better to use rubber gloves when you are handling products like those.

ACETONE is deteriorating the resistance of nail extensions and also of you natural nails. Use only Acetone-free nail polish remover!

Before applying nail extensions do not do classical mani and do not cut the cuticles!

Use daily hand cream and cuticle oil for a good hidratation of the skin and nails!

If you have a nail that broke, do not use an usual glue. It can deteriorate your nails. Use only special glue for tips or try to file the nail extension until you can see you technician.


The advantages of nail extension:
  • Impeccable manicure
  • Solves the problem of small, exfoliating nails
  • Solves the problem of biting the nails
  • You can choose from a large variety of shapes and colors
  • You will not have problems with your nails for at least 3 weeks
  • The nail polish will resist better and longer
  • You can choose for a wonderful design.

    Step-by-step : Holographic

    Hello! Astazi mi-am propus sa va prezint modul de realizare al modelului Holographic deoarece am vazut ca l-ati apreciat. Acest design prezinta o dificultate medie. Constructia este din gel, veti avea nevoie de un mix de glitter cu holograme - eu am  folosit mix deja realizat in nuante de oranj, cristale Swarovski si vopsea acrilica alba si neagra! Sper sa va fie util si sa placa! Astept feedback!

    Hello! Today I would like to present you how i realized the design : Holographic because I saw that you appreciated it. This design it has a medium difficulty . The construction of the nails it is in gel, you will need a glitter and holograms mix - I used an orange glitter mix, Swarovski crystals and acrylic paint - black and white! I hope that you will find it useful and you`ll like it! Waiting for feedback!


    Let`s get started!

    Pasul 1: Pregatiti unghia naturala : Dezinfectare – Degresare prin pilire – Inlaturati praful – Aplicati primer.
    Step 1 : Prepare the natural nail : Disinfect – File the natural nail – Clean the dust – Apply  primer.
     Pasul 2 : Aplicati sablonul si fixati-l cu grija .
    Step 2 : Apply the stencil and fix it carefully.





    Pasul 3 : Aplicati gelul de baza. Uscati-l in lampa UV. 
    Step 3 : Apply base gel . Cure in UV lamp.
     
     Pasul 4 : Prelungiti patul unghial cu cover gel. Uscati in lampa UV.
    Step 4 :  Apply cover gel on the nail bed. Cure in UV lamp.

    Pasul 5 : Aplicati un strat de gel transparent combinat cu glitter mix oranj tangential cu patul unghial, coborand pana la jumatatea unghiei. Uscati in lampa UV.
    Step 5 :  Apply a layer of clear gel combined with glitter mix orange tangential with the nail bed, descending until the half of the nail. Cure in UV lamp.
    Pasul 6 : Aplicati gelul de constructie. Uscati in lampa UV. Stergeti cu cleanser.
    Pasul 7 :  Piliti cu o pila de granulatie 100/100 pentru a da forma unghiilor, iar la final matuiti cu un buffer.

    Step 6 : Apply the construction gel. Cure in UV lamp. Wipe with cleanser.
    Step 7 : File (100/100 grain) to give final shape to the nails, and after file gently with a buffer.
    Pasul 8 : Pictam cu vopsea acrylica neagra un french ce se continua intr-un design abstract, geometric. Astfel vom permite mixului incastrat in gel sa aiba reflexii printre liniile modelului. Acest efect se numeste Efect de Vitraliu.

    Step 8 : We will use the black acrylic paint to realize the french which will continue with an abstract design, geometrical. This way, we will allow to the in-castrated glitter mix in the gel to have special reflexion between the lines of the design. This effect it is called Stained glass Effect.
    Pasul 9 : Pictam trandafirii cu vopsea acrilica alba si aplicam cristale Swarovski de diverse marimi.
     Pasul 10 : Dupa uscare, aplicati finish gel. Uscati in lampa UV . 
    Aplicati ulei de cuticule si eventual o crema hidratanta de maini.
    Step 9 : Paint the roses with white acrylic paint and apply Swarovski crystals of different sizes.
    Step 10 : After the paint dries, apply finish gel. Cure in UV lamp. 
    Apply cuticle oil and eventually – a hand cream .
