UV Gel Nail Extensions
Are you seeking a natural-looking, professional manicure that lasts? Then UV gel nail extensions may be your ideal option. UV gel nail extensions are quickly becoming the most preferred type of nail extension due to their ultra-natural appearance, glossy finish and ability to remain in great shape for up to 3 weeks or more. If you dream of having nails that always look their very best, UV gel nail options are the way to go.
Applying UV Gel Nail Extensions
UV gel nail extensions are long-lasting artificial nail extensions that, when professionally applied, create a smooth, even and beautiful manicured look. The application process starts similarly to the application for any other extensions. Your nail technician will begin by cleaning the nail, then buffing and clipping it to prepare it for the extension. Your technician will then select and meticulously file down an appropriate plastic extension until it fits your nail perfectly, before attaching the extension with glue.
The extension will then be clipped to the proper length and filed to smooth out any resulting bumps. At this point, a primer will be applied to ready the nail, followed by a coat of the odor-free UV gel. A UV lamp is used to harden and set each gel coat for a short time before the next coat is applied. One last filing and your UV gel nails are ready for styling.The extension application process can take up to two hours to complete but you’ll be delighted with the look, feel and long-lasting quality of your new UV gel nail extensions.
Styling Options
UV gel nail extensions offer a truly natural sheen that requires little buffing, and most wearers tend to want to highlight this effect by choosing to stick with the neutral base shades that the nail extensions often come in. However, you can also amp up the glamour levels on your new extensions by adding your preferred shade of nail polish or even decorating the nails with striking and creative nail art elements like sparkly gems.
Benefits of UV Gel Nail Extensions
UV gel nail extensions are quickly gaining popularity for a variety of reasons. The odor-free UV gel application is one reason, while other factors like the high-shine, natural appearance and feel of the extensions when compared to other types of extensions, the fact that clients who suffer from allergies to acrylic nails can use UV gel nail extensions as a great alternative, and the durability of the extensions, in comparison to a normal manicure all make UV gel nail extensions an excellent choice.
Removing Your Nail Extensions
Unlike acrylic extensions, your UV gel nail extensions can’t be removed by soaking off in acetone. Instead, they must be filed away for a total removal. In order to avoid damaging the natural nail beneath the extension, you can leave your removal process in the hands of your nail technician. Having your extensions professionally removed will ensure that you avoid weakened, damaged nails and can continue to enjoy a variety of nail styles and options.
Professionally applied UV gel nail extensions will give you gorgeous, natural looking nails that maintain their shine for weeks.
