5 important things to do for nail extensions

If you're someone who's had nail extensions in the past, you'll be able to think deeply about what I'm about to say, long nails can make you feel creative. Here are five things you need to know before you schedule a consultation at a beauty salon:
1. There are two kinds - gel and polymer
Acrylics, as well as gel nail extensions, may seem like they are the same, but they have several differences. When it comes to acrylics, artificial nail tips are glued to the size of a nail and then a mixture of powder and liquid monomers are applied. However, gel polish extensions are used with preformed mixes onto the actual nail bed. If you want long nails, then it's best to go ahead and use acrylic nail extensions. However, if you want a natural looking manicure then you should use gel extensions.

2. Time-consuming and expensive
If your nails are done by an experienced professional, then by standard, your manicure session is sure to last about an hour. Still, if you use less experienced manicure techniques to get your nails done, a normal manicure session is sure to last about 1 to 2 hours. You must understand that nail expansion can cost you a lot of money and time.

3. You need a professional nail service technician
Consider that you have to consult a professional nail specialist. However, many people think that you can get rid of bloat at home with a nail file and some acetone. Take my word for it, removing nail extensions without expert help is bad advice! I have tried this before and it has caused serious damage to my nail bed and cuticles.

4. Lasts 2-4 weeks
We certainly want them to last a lifetime, sadly, nail dilation only last about 2 to 4 weeks. After a few weeks, as your nails have actually grown, there will be a gap between the acrylic swelling and your hair follicles. To fix this, you need to fill them up or get rid of them completely. Whatever you choose, make sure it's done by an expert.

5. Fragile nails
Extensions are said to damage your real nail bed and make it brittle. Still, if it's done by an experienced expert with risk-free and checked ingredients, then you don't need to worry about damage. Once you actually get your extensions, make sure you follow your service technician's instructions and remove them properly when appropriate.
