Extension of nails on tips, one of the easiest and fastest ways to get beautiful artificial nails. After reading our article, you will learn about what is needed for nail extension with tips, how to choose the right tip shape and how to stick them on your nails. The article also contains detailed step-by-step instructions for nail extension.

What are tips and their history

Most of the girls know or have an approximate idea of ​​what tips are. Nail tips are frames, shaped like a nail plate, made of plastic, nylon or polyflex.

The first plastic forms appeared in the seventies, they were made by hand, so only noble people could afford to wear beautiful artificial nails. They were of the same length, due to the lack of manufacturing skills, the first tips were very thick and rough. The mechanized production of tips began in 1974. Plastic heated to 150 degrees was poured into special metal molds. After cooling, the molds were opened and the finished tips were taken out.

Materials for tips

Over time, nail extension on tips became very popular, so plastic frames began to be produced in large volumes. Tips are made from various materials; three types of substances are often used:

1. Polyflex - frameworks made of this substance are often used when building nails on tips with a gel, this use is due to a fast and durable adhesion. The substance has good elastic properties, is not destroyed by the action of acetone.
2. ABS plastic - the name arose from the components that make up the substance, namely: acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene. ABS is the most common material used for making tips. The frames are strong, highly elastic and have good adhesion to building materials.
3. Nylon is an impact-resistant material that perfectly holds its shape, has high elasticity, and is easy to model. However, for building nails with tips at home, nylon frames are not suitable, since they are difficult to glue to the nail plate.

Regardless of what material the tips will be made of, they must be of high quality. To check the reliability, you can slightly bend one of the frames along the length.

If, after a slight bend, a white stripe, the tips are of poor quality.

Varieties of tips

Tips differ not only in the material from which they are made. They have different shapes and colors. To make nail extension on tips easy, you should choose the right shape that suits a particular type of nail plate.

Forms tips

Nail tips are available in various shapes to create a specific nail design.

Varieties:

1. Classic - have a smooth natural bend, suitable for almost all types of nails. Most commonly used by professionals. Often sold in packs of 50 copies, the cost ranges from 250 rubles.
2. Straight - in this type of tips there is no contact area, therefore they are also called non-contact tips. Due to the lack of a contact area, they are often used for French designs. For 150 rubles you can buy a set of 100 pieces.
3. Tapered tips - used to create nail shapes such as stylet, bridgette, cat's marigolds. The set includes 50 tips, you can buy a set for 150 rubles.
4. Curved frames are indispensable for nail extension on American style tips.
5. Almond-shaped tips - used to quickly give the nail an almond shape. They come in different lengths, most often they do not have a contact zone, which makes it easier to create a French design. The price for 50 pieces varies from 100 rubles.

Each of the types described has a different length, which is written on the package. Manicurists use the maximum length of the tips; special nippers are used to change the length.

Color spectrum

In addition to the shape, the tips differ in color. Manufacturers produce a variety of colors to create the perfect manicure.

• transparent - ideal for almost any design;
• flesh or natural shade - to give the nails a natural look;
• colored - it is easy to draw a picture without using the main color of the varnish;
• with a picture - tips are used to quickly create a beautiful manicure;
• French tips for nail extension - quick creation of the perfect French manicure.

How to choose tips

Every girl wants her nails to be as natural as possible. In order to achieve this result, you should buy thin, but at the same time durable tips. The thicker the frame, the worse it will look on the nails. You should not save on material, it is better to purchase tips from well-known companies so as not to fall for a fake.

When buying tips, you need to take into account not only their length, but also their shape. The better the frame lies on the nail, the easier the extension process will be. If it is difficult to find the right size, then you can take the tips a little more, attach it to the nail and use a file to remove the excess edges.

When choosing tips, you should pay attention to the foot line, the length of the free edge and the contact area. The free edge is thicker and longer than the contact area. The stop line is a conditional separator between the contact area and the free edge. The tip of the nail plate should rest against the line of the foot.

Tips should be cut with a tip cutter, do not use scissors or other cutting tools.

If the natural nail is slightly lifted up, for convenience and a beautiful manicure, the free edge should be of medium length. In case of defects in the nail plate, it is best to use a glue gel, it is able to fill cracks and grooves, aligning the natural nail.

Features of the contact area

The contact area is a thin dimple-like part of the plastic frame. The recess should fit snugly against the nail and contact with it. Glue is applied to the contact area, only then the tips are glued to the nail plate.

The contact area can be of different lengths. It varies from three to six millimeters. The shorter the nail bed, the smaller the contact area should be.

The contact area can be:

• with multiple slots;
• round;
• deep;
• V - shaped;
• small;
• large.

In the process of building up, the contact area is cut down. It is best to start building nails on tips at home with non-contact frames. In such views, there is no possibility of design violation.

Liquid tips

Progress does not stand still. Since 2010, liquid tips for nail extension have been widely used in the nail industry. Such frames are made of flexible polymer material. Liquid tips - are called because a gel is placed in them, which has a liquid structure. The molds are very durable and can be used up to 200 times.

To work with liquid tips, you do not need to buy additional glue and many forms, it is enough to purchase a gel and a rotating UV lamp.

The box contains 50 tips, such a set costs from 1,500 to 2,500 rubles. One set is enough for professionals for almost two years. Liquid tips save not only the time allotted for building, but also money. For beginners in the online store there is an opportunity to purchase complete sets, which contain not only tips, but also a suitable gel for building.

Gel

One of the main materials that nail art masters use to build up nail plates. The gel is easy to apply to the nail plate, it lies well and does not dry out as quickly as acrylic. Therefore, nail extension on tips using gel will become an easy and exciting procedure that even inexperienced masters can handle.

Extension Tools

The list of tools that you need for gel nail extension is very similar to the list using acrylic powder. The only acrylic powder and monomer are replaced with gel, and instead of a liquid jar, an ultraviolet lamp and a liquid to remove the sticky layer are purchased.

You will need three types of gels: camouflage or modeling gel, base and gel finish.

Instructions for beginners

Step-by-step gel nail extension on tips, with the first 15 points, is identical to acrylic extension. It is necessary to file the nails, remove the oily sheen and move the cuticles. Starting from point 16, gel nail extension will differ from acrylic design.

Stages of applying the gel:

• open a jar of base gel;
• drip the gel into the center of the nail plate;
• evenly distribute the material over the entire surface of the nail, leaving indents of 1 mm, from the tank rollers and cuticles;
• dry the nail under ultraviolet light for 3 minutes;
• apply a modeling or camouflage gel, leave most of it in the stress zone, in the cuticle area and on the free edge, the gel layer should be minimal;
• dry the layer under the lamp for three minutes;
• remove the sticky layer;
• form nail arches;
• use a nail file to thin the free edge of the nail;
• clean the nail with a brush;
• evenly distribute the finish gel over the nail;
• polarize the nail for 2-3 minutes;
• remove the sticky layer if the topcoat leaves it;
• smear the cuticle with oil or emollient.

The gel allows the nails to breathe, it does not have a specific smell, so this material is more popular than acrylic powder.

French design

French manicure gained its popularity for a long time and to this moment it retains its leading position. French nail designs can be done in two ways:

1. Express - fast nail extension on French tips. To do this, you need to buy special tips with a drawn smile line. Stick them on a natural nail and coat with a finishing gel.
2. The standard creation of a jacket assumes the presence of a light pink camouflage gel. It is applied after the base coat to the entire surface of the nail. After drying and removing the sticky layer, a smile line is drawn with a white gel. Finally, you need to apply a topcoat.

Extension with glitters

If you want to make a bright, shiny manicure, then the modeling gel can be mixed with sparkles. You need to apply it in the same way as described in the step-by-step instructions. For a more intense color, you can make two shiny coats. Dry each separately under a lamp.

Nail care

To make artificial nails look beautiful and last longer, you should monitor their condition. It is advisable to make the first correction two weeks after the extension. The subsequent ones can be delayed by three to four weeks, it all depends on the growth rate of the natural nail.

When working with chemicals and with a lot of water, it is advisable to wear gloves so that the nails do not come off. Avoid sudden changes in temperature, as the gel nail can crack. It is necessary to remove varnish from artificial nails with a liquid that does not contain acetone. Do not bang on the table or other hard objects with extended nails.

Differences from building on forms

Having looked at the table, you can understand what type of extension is better to use.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages:

• rapid increase in length;
• less likelihood of allergies;
• ease of extension, which even a beginner of nail art can easily handle;
• you can make smooth nails, even on deformed nail plates;
• you can create an exclusive design of nails, maximum length and various shapes.

Flaws:

• it is difficult to achieve a natural look;
• at the first stages, large expenditures of money are required;
• because of the thick free edge, artificial nails are inconvenient to use.

This is an eternal question that torments our clients and because of which there are constant disputes between the masters: which extension is better on tips or on forms? Naturally, each master proves that his extension technology, according to which he works, is the best. In fact, the opposition of these two technologies usually leads to a dead end, since a master who owns these two technologies can make nails in such a way that it is almost impossible to distinguish tips from forms. The method of modeling, most often, is selected by the master and depends on the shape and condition of the client's nails.

So what is the difference between tips and shapes?

1. If the client's nails are normal, have the correct, almond-shaped shape, then there will be no problems with the choice of the extension method and the master can offer any of the two6 shapes or tips. 2. If the shape of the nail is flat, then in this case, you can also choose any of the two methods, but taking into account the following nuances: If flat nails are wide enough, then it is better to use forms, because the master may simply not choose the tips of the appropriate size, If the client insists on building up with tips, then it is necessary to first cut the contact area of ​​the tips to the required size. 3. If the nails are bitten, then it is better to build on tips with a small contact area. The surface of the bitten nails is always uneven, the nail seems to sink into the high pads of the fingers. In this case, the master needs to carefully file off all the irregularities and create a flat surface for gluing the tips. 4. If the nails are bent down, then it is better to build on the forms. Moreover, the shape must be selected along the smile line under the natural nail. If only universal forms are available, then before building up, it is necessary to cut out the necessary smile line in them and glue them from the wrong side to the formation zone of the free edge, which will significantly strengthen the form itself. 5. If the nails are trampoline-shaped, then it is better for the master to offer the client a build-up on tips, having previously shortly sawed the free edge of the nail and using a file to remove its thickness. After that, carefully select tips for each nail. One feature - for nails with a trapezoidal shape of nails, tips with a more pronounced arch and with an S bend and a small contact area are needed. Tips of the classic shape for trampoline nails are poorly suited, because their wear period is sharply reduced. Online store of materials for nail extension "Nail Couture" In our store you can buy materials for nail extension of the best brands -,

So, before making a choice, tips or forms, you need to understand these concepts, understand how they differ from each other. And only then proceed with the procedure of nail extension.

Tips are used to lengthen the free edge of the nail plate. It is an elastic plastic that can be matte, transparent, pure white or colored. In addition, the shape of the tips can also be different. To connect the tips and the natural nail, a special glue is used.

Forms for nail extension are called a special template (Teflon or paper-Teflon), on which a certain scale (marking) is applied. Metal and Teflon molds are considered reusable, so they must be disinfected and sterilized after each use. But paper forms are disposable. As for professional specialists, recently they have been using only paper forms.

What should you choose? Nails on tips or on forms? According to some nail service masters, building on forms is more difficult than on tips, but this only refers to the level of professionalism of a particular master, who independently chooses the material with which he prefers to work with a certain client.

Someone claims that nails on tips are much stronger than on forms. However, this is not the case, since the degree of strength of nails depends on how the structure of the nail itself is built, as well as on the correct selection of the extension method. The point is that all people have different nails. Some have the form of a springboard, some have flat or even bitten ones, and some have large pillows. In this case, for each specific type, it is necessary to select the type of tips.

In particular, nails growing downward are highly undesirable to grow on tips, while trampoline-shaped nail plates cannot be built up on forms. Someone even believes that the thicker the tips are, the longer the nails will last. This statement is also incorrect, since a natural nail must carry the weight of the tips with the weight of the material. In addition, the extended nail in shape turns out to be not entirely graceful and beautiful when too thick tips are used. However, you always want your nails, regardless of the extension method, to look like natural.

In the process of building up tips, they need to be selected with an accuracy of 1 mm for the width of each specific nail plate, connected to the nail with a special glue so that there are no "bubbles", because later, if they do form, the tips and the natural nail will grip is not very good. If the tips are glued with high quality, then during cutting it is not difficult for the master to create the necessary shape.

In the case of using a form, first of all, you need to correctly place the forms themselves. If it is not set correctly, then the nail will be modeled incorrectly.

Tips or forms, which is better? It depends on various factors, especially the shape of the nail plates. Nails can be normal, flat, springboard-like (growth goes up), growing down. You can also find short, so-called "bitten" plates with high pads.

Naturally, normal nails with a clear plate shape do not cause any difficulties for the manicurist when building. In this case, the choice of the extension method will depend on the system by which the extension takes place, on the client's tastes and the level of professionalism of the master.

For narrow nails in the form of a springboard, it is better to use tips modeling. In this case, the free edge of the nail plate is filed rather shortly, and the thickness is removed with a file. Then the tips are selected, which will exactly match the shape of the natural nail plate. Here, tips are selected that have a well-defined arch and C-bend and a small contact area. When using traditional tips, the gap between the tips and the nail is filled with glue.

However, this shape of nails allows them to grow on forms, but this is already more difficult to accomplish.

If the nails are flat, then any nail extension (tips or forms) is suitable here. However, when the nails are quite wide, it is better to use the forms, since not always in the arsenal of the master there are tips that are suitable in size. In such a situation, a new shape is made up of two by cutting and sticking one on top of the other.

When the tips are selected, they should be prepared in advance, for which the contact area is cut with a file to the required size or ready-made tips with the area of ​​the required shape are selected.

For nails bent down, shapes are more suitable, since during the growth of the nail, the free edge of the plate will begin to bend down. It is only important to choose a shape that will fit along the smile line.

In a situation with bitten nails, it is better to use tips with a small contact area. It is important to choose the right glue here. Since the surface of these nails is usually uneven, and also with high pillows, it is better to use a gel-like glue that can fill in the irregularities and create a special "platform" for the tips. In an extreme situation, a professional nail technician can spread the tip of the nail plate directly onto the nail bed.

Thus, the choice of the method of nail extension (forms or tips) depends on the condition of the natural nails of each particular client, as well as on the degree of professionalism of the master himself.

Nail tips, forms, acrylic, gel: how to make the right choice?

Those who are not familiar with the procedure for nail extension, but dream of a beautiful manicure, should read this article. If you decide to build up your nails, then you just need to find out for yourself which is better: acrylic or gel? Which type of extension is more correct: on forms or on tips?

We choose: gel or acrylic

• The most noticeable difference is in the speed of building and hardening of the material. Acrylic tends to harden naturally, so it dries much faster than gel. For acrylic extensions, you do not need special devices and materials that dry the nail. The gel hardens only when exposed to UV rays. Each layer is dried separately. This greatly increases the build-up time.
• Acrylic has a smell, and quite a sharp one, the gel does not.
• The gels have a special shine that is not lost even after treatment with special liquids or solutions. Acrylic fades quickly. Therefore, they need to be polished with a special oil.
• Acrylic molds are considered to be more durable, although they do not look thicker than gel molds.
• Acrylic nails appear more graceful because they can be tightened. But not all masters know how to compress gel forms. Especially if they are built on tips.

Tips or Forms? Choose and not be mistaken

Forms are pieces of paper with an adhesive base, which are substituted under the nail when building up. Tips are made of plastic. They are glued to the edge of the natural nail. Both the molds and the tips are methods of gel and acrylic support for extension. It should be noted that the strength of the build-up does not depend at all on which technology you choose. It all depends on which master you turn to, and what level of professionalism he owns.

This is what tips look like

Benefits of using tips

• To build up nails on tips is a less time-consuming procedure. It is easier to lay out the building material on the finished form.
• If you have brittle nails, then nail tips are the perfect option for extending them. You can apply tips even if they were broken at the root.
• On tips, a qualified master will equally quickly make extensions with both gel and acrylic.

On tips, you can equally quickly perform extensions with both gel and acrylic

Disadvantages of tips

• Nails extended on tips look less graceful, flatter.
• The possibilities of the master when using tips are limited: some forms of manicure can only be performed on forms.
• Some masters cannot make the extension with tips thin and graceful. Therefore, visually, a manicure may seem too heavy and cumbersome.
• Nails extended on tips (it does not matter, gel or acrylic) cannot be tightened.
• The most vulnerable place on the nail is the place where the tips are glued. With a small blow, the tipsa disappears almost immediately.
• On wide nails, the tips will create the effect of even greater width and plane of the shape.
• If the nail bends down strongly during growth, then it is impossible to align such nails with tips. The grown nail will appear too curved downward.

Advantages of forms

• With the help of the form, you can create any non-standard platform for building.
• They can be squeezed. Therefore, they will appear thin and graceful.
• Nails extended on the mold will appear solid and are more durable.
• By using molds, you can noticeably improve the natural shape of your nail by slightly narrowing or widening it.

Disadvantages of forms

• Not every master knows how to properly build nails on forms. Sometimes, due to the unprofessionalism of the master, the nails may seem ugly and inelegant.
• Injured nail plates are very difficult to build up when using molds.
• If the extension is performed using a gel, then the process can take quite a long time.

About the history of nail extension

Nail modeling began in the 30s of the last century. A certain Mademoiselle Juliet Marlene began to use tea bags as the basis for artificial forms. And the second stage in the formation of fashion for building up took place already in the 50s of the last century. Dentist Fred Sleck severely injured his finger and injured the nail plate. In order to "glue" it, Fred used dental filling material. This is how the first acrylic building materials appeared. In the mid-60s, a real "boom" began on artificial nails. Diana Ross and singer Cher became the legislators of the new trend.

Long beautiful nails are one of the signs of a well-groomed woman. But not every girl can boast of natural long and strong nails.

To solve the problem, tips were invented, with the help of which the masters can create the perfect manicure of the length that the client wants. Photo tips will be presented in this article.

What are tips?

Nail tips are plastic dummies of nails that exactly repeat their shape. They are applied to natural nail plates, giving them a perfect look. Fastening is carried out using special glue. Do not worry about the durability of the tips: they are made of high-strength plastic that can withstand everyday stress.

Each tip consists of two components:

• base - a strong and long part, which is the free edge of the nail and is responsible for the desired length;
• the short part, with which the tipsa is attached to the nail plate.

By the way, for the first time tips began to be used back in the 70s of the XX century. True, such a complex technology for fixing them was not used then, and they were simply glued over the entire nail with glue. These are the so-called false nails that were especially popular in the 90s. Now nail extension is also in demand, they are non-traumatic for natural nails. But still, some people prefer gel build-up through cardboard forms to such plastic templates. Although the end result of the procedures carried out by these two methods is not different.

Varieties

Nail tips are not standard templates with the same parameters and are suitable for all nails. They are classified according to various parameters:

1. The size. According to this indicator, 10 types are distinguished, each of which corresponds to a specific nail of each finger.
2. The shape of the extension devices is also varied: classic, curved, straight, pointed. The length can be any: from 1 cm onwards. But more often on sale you can find more similar in shape to natural nails.
3. Contact area: deep, short and non-contact. This parameter will depend on the size of the nail plate itself. The smaller it is, the shorter the contact area will be.
4. The color is also presented in several versions: transparent, nude, multi-colored, with a decorative design, with a jacket, etc.
5. Purpose: universal, for the correction of bad nails, with a strong bend of the arch of the edge of the nail.

How to choose the right tips for building

High-quality nail extension on tips is, first of all, a high-quality choice of the material itself. If the procedure for lengthening the plate is not the first time, then preference should be given to already known and proven products.

In addition, the following should be considered:

1. To give the extended nails the most natural look, tips should be chosen with a thinner edge of the plate, but at the same time durable.
2. The material from which the accessory to increase the length is made should be distinguished not only by high strength, but also by flexibility. This factor will facilitate the build-up procedure, exclude the appearance of defects on the tips and extend their service life.
3. Tips should not contain a large amount of harmful substances. Therefore, cheap material is not worth buying, but rather more expensive ones.
4. If the tips are bought for yourself, then you need to choose those that will ideally repeat the natural nail plate. A professional craftsman should have a large amount of material in order to be able to choose a form for each client.
5. The backing design should match the future nail design.

There are whole sets of tips on sale, which include templates, different in size and shape.

Additional materials

To build up tips at home or in the salon, you will need a set of additional materials, without which it will be impossible to carry out the process. These include:

• tips themselves;
• a special tool with which the length of the tips is cut - Nail cut;
• gel-based glue by means of which the templates are attached to the nail plate;
• a variety of nail files with different surfaces for grinding, leveling and more;
• buff - a type of nail file for correcting the nail;
• primer;
• building gel or acrylic;
• brushes and sponges to remove dust from sawn nails;
• UV or LED lamp;
• solution to remove the sticky layer;
• antiseptics for hands, as well as for wiping and disinfecting instruments;

It is necessary to control the availability and quantity of the listed materials, because if something ends in the process of building up, then it will not be possible to complete the process.

How to build on tips: stages

1. Applying a disinfectant to hands and nails.
2. Hygiene of nails: removing dirt, trimming the length to zero, cutting the cuticle.

2. The size of the tips should correspond to the width of the nail plate.
3. In order for the material to firmly fix on the plate, you need to apply glue to the contact area and press for 20 seconds.
4. The tip should be given its final appearance only after it has been glued.
