Time for Acrylic Nails

Do you know what is that first thing someone would notice in you is? Yeah, you got that right; its face and the overall appearance. But do you know what is that second thing someone would notice in you is? Don’t know? It’s the movement of your hands while you talk with somebody. This has been proved in a research conducted to find out what are the first five elements you notice when you meet someone. When I first read this research, I found it very strange and also true because hands are something that we do notice but the funny part is that we don’t realize it or in other words we all notice each others’ hands unintentionally.

May be this is the reason why we also forget to care about our own hands at time. Assuming that who will use a magnifying glass to make a critical analysis of our hands, we let go of them and don’t pay any attention to how they are looking. Alternatively, some people have a very god excuse of an extreme busy routine which doesn’t permit them to make usual visits to the Salons for manicures and pedicures and that is why, they have no option but bearing with ill-kept nails.

According to the research, which proves your hands to be the mirror of your personality, it becomes really evident that taking care of your hands is so very important. Girls who are blessed with a pretty face but are careless about the way their hands look can seriously damage their personality in a second. On the other hand if a girl possesses normal features but is particular about her hands and feet is bound to impress the other person. I remember once my best friend shared this interesting thing with me that her going-to-be husband sent her the proposal only because that girl was very particular about her hands and feet and would have rejected her if the case were otherwise despite her pretty looks and long hair! I was really surprised to hear this and when I asked her the secret, she told me that, “Well, nothing much. I only used to get my acrylic nails done every two weeks.” That day I realized how important it is to have awesome-looking nails and especially with men, it becomes a little more of an essential.

Talking about Acrylic nails, well, who doesn’t know about them! Every other girl is going for them, and not just as a fashion statements, acrylic nails have become an ultimate essential of every woman who believes in style with comfort. It adds to your personality and gives a charming and alluring finish to your poised being. Those of you, who want to know the technicalities of Acrylic nails too, let me tell you that the nails are composed of two core ingredients; the monomer and the polymer.

It’s a kind of a liquid and a special powder that and both of which are mixed together proportionately to make a hardening mixture. This mixture is then applied to your nails by a nail expert who will enhance the look of your nails and make them feel durable and long lasting. You don’t need to expose your nails to some specialized heat; they will dry off themselves under the natural air and from your body’s heat through the nails. Acrylic nails; a very easy yet an extremely rewarding process. In short- a budding treat to your nails!

Artificial Nails - Myts and Reality

There are many ways to grow up your nails' length. The difference is in the materials used by the master: gel, acrylics, porcelain, silk, linen and even crystal (!) . The price for this procedure ranges depending on the chosen material and technology used.

The most popular are the acrylic and the gel nails: they are stronger than the other, and look natural. The process itself (i.e. simulation) of such nails is done on tips (attachable plastic or other material with the shape of the nail) or on a special pattern - when the material is modeled on a special form paper covered with teflon.

Lets get to know some facts about artificial nails' lengthening.

Myth 1: Once the procedure is always the same, there's no difference where and to whom to go to lengthen nails.

Reality: Nail art can be described without exaggeration as a high skill item, but, only with the condition of a qualified master. You can go to a super-cool salon, make nails for $500 and a few days later lose forever not only the artificial, but your natural nails too.
And on the contrary, the master engaged in applying artificial nails at home for $25 can make not only a work of art, but health-improving procedures for your nails. The nails-master has preferably to be tested (and recommended) by someone (whom you trust).

Myth 2: Acrylics are better than gel, and vice versa.

Reality: The war between acrylics and gel continues not the first year. Indeed gel and acryl belong to the same chemical group. the conclusion: acrylics is not better than gel and gel is not better than acrylics!

Myth 3: Artificial nails have harmful effects.
Reality: While wearing artificial nails, natural nails are protected and not exposed to any external bad conditions!

In most cases, the permanent possession of "fake" nails, even damaged natural nail, growths the right direction and shape and stops stratifying, might acquire an aesthetically look.

Important: For women suffering from diabetes, skin diseases, acute arthritis, circulatory disorders, fungus infection on nails, undergoing chemo / radio-therapy at the moment, and, of course, pregnant women, Applying artificial nails is not recommended ! ! !

Myth 4: Artificial nails break fast.

Reality: In fact arificial nails are very strong and very hard to break, of course if they are done with quality materials and by good master. Exceptions: excessive hand sweatiness, pregnancy, receiving hormonal drugs (including contraceptives). So if the material begins to exfoliate, crumble or stick up at all -look for the problem in the master or your health.

Myth 5: If artificial nails are so cool, we could have them permanently on.

Reality: Although fake nails do not harm your health and beauty, they need to be periodically removed. On average, if having them constantly, artificial nails need to be removed every 2-4 years for a period of 2 weeks to 3 months.

The "break" duration depends on the individual growth speed of the nails. During this period the nails' plate has to renew fully. This procedure is necessary because natural nails in the procces of "growing" are filed.

Remember, if you decide to get artificial nails, the manicure should be done at least three days before the procedure.
For artificial nails even the cheapest nail polish can stay on about 2 weeks.
