And if the practitioner has already revealed the positive properties of the material used, it is necessary to pay special attention to certain negative aspects.
When choosing acrylic nails, be readyto an unpleasant smell - for some clients it is intolerable. A master who prefers acrylic for nail extensions and who works with this material for a long time, because of the developed habit, can smell and not feel. Therefore, the salon offering acrylic lengthening of the nail plate must necessarily be equipped with a powerful ventilation.
Another unpleasant moment in acrylic build-up is the allergic reactions that result from excessive contact of the monomer with the skin.
Answering the question about what is best - acrylic orgel, it is necessary to remember the individual features of the structure of the nail plate. If for some, the ideal is an acrylic system, then only gel is suitable for others.
In addition to the absence or presence of an unpleasant odor,special attention is paid to the property, such as the adhesion of the applied material to the nail plate. Nails made by a professional craftsman must last from 3 to 5 weeks. Incorrectly performed procedure of building can lead to stratification and diseases of a natural nail, to restore a healthy appearance which is rather difficult. That is why, choosing a place where to grow nails, you must first verify the skills of the master. A professional who has been modeling nails for a long time and having a special education, like no one else will be able to answer the client's question: "What is better - acrylic or gel?"
What are these materials?Gel is a polymer, when frozen, resembles fiberglass, gel nails have a strong shine and do not turn yellow with time, and a perfectly flat surface looks very beautiful.
Acryle, in turn, is very similar toplastic. The nails made with acrylic technology are the most similar to the real ones, they are also resilient, flexible and plastic, but in the course of time they can turn yellow. Therefore, most masters combine the two technologies together, that is, the finished acrylic nail is covered with a layer of gel.
Extension procedures also have significantdifferences. When applied to the nail bed, the gel spreads and acquires the necessary shape. Nails made by this technology are more fragile than acrylic.
The answer to the question of what is better - acrylic or gel, will be different for everyone, since everyone has different tastes and preferences, the main thing is not the material, but the ability of the master to use it.
