The main news in nail extensions

It’s worth noting right away that false nails, modeling with acrylic and gel are confidently becoming a thing of the past, giving way to a new product in nail extensions - shellac (aka gel polish). This innovative product made it possible to give women what they dreamed of: ideal nail shapes, rich and effective coverage, a very good manicure period (two to three weeks) with the most gentle treatment of the nail plate (it is not subject to such trauma as when extensions are made with the same acrylic).

Shellac is a coating based on natural resin. It fits perfectly and does not contain formaldehyde, toluene, or dibutyl phthalate (which are part of regular varnishes) that are harmful to the health and condition of the nail plate. The principle of application is similar to a regular gel, but due to its consistency, shellac is applied easily and evenly, then polymerizes under a lamp. The nails turn out neater and thinner than with gel or acrylic extensions. A big plus is that any girl can do this coating herself, at home, and she does not need to waste time going to the salon.

The square shape, beloved by many, for nail extensions also faded into the background; in 2016, it gave way to the oval shape. Now the trend of the season is almond-shaped nails, more feminine and natural. There is no need to make any sharp points, just carefully round them off.
