Natural Looking Nail Extensions Using Builder Gel

1 Comment(s)

Gel nail extensions are the latest trend in the creative world of nail art. Nail artists around the globe are recommending gel nail extensions using a builder gel to achieve flexible and natural looking nails in any shape or nail design that you desire. Gel nails are less damaging and faster to apply than acrylic nails. Unlike acrylic nails, gel nail extensions do not require harsh chemicals and primers and do not cause permanent damage to the nail bed. With innumerable nail styles to choose from, incorporating gel nail extensions in your manicure routine is a very attractive option to get fashionable nails in a matter of minutes.

The most important component of nail art involving gel extensions is a builder gel. A builder gel is a thick, viscous gel that is applied and extended from the natural nail plate, to create the desired shape and length of the nail extension. There are various kinds of builder gels available in the market, the most popular ones being single phase gels and three phase gels. The primary difference between the two is that a single phase or one phase gel combines the actions of a base, builder and gloss layer in one formula whereas a three phase gel requires the application of three different products to achieve the same effect. 

With a single phase gel, you apply the same product to your nail plate for creating a bonding layer as you do to the nail tip for building the extension and adding a glossy finish. When working with a three phase product, one formula is only applied to the nail bed as a bonder, while a second formula is used as a builder for the extension and finally a third formula is added as a gloss coat. Similar final looks can be achieved using both single phase and three phase builder gels based on the skills of the nail artist. It is up to the artist to go for either single phase or three phase builder gels but single phase gels do simplify the nail extension process. Various cosmetics companies have introduced their own range of products for creating gel nail extensions. Some of the best brands of builder gels that are readily available at drugstore prices . All these brands provide builder gels in different colors such as clear, pink and white, these are sold in small tubs or jars for easy scooping out and application. Most of these jars are priced at around the ten dollar mark for 0.5 fluid ounces of product.

To create stunning nails using gel nail extensions, you just need to add a few simple steps to a regular manicure. The first step involves the cleaning and prepping of the nails before building the nail extension. Make sure that your nails are devoid of moisture or oil and use a nail fresher to remove any grease from the nail bed. Once your nails are completely clean, apply a coat of nail primer to help with the adhesion of the gel to the nails so that your manicure may last longer. Now your nails are prepped and ready for the actual creation of gel nail extensions.

You can select from a wide range of nail forms and tips that will act like scaffolding for your extensions, upon which you will build the layers of gel. Nail forms need to be inserted below your natural nail tip and secured in place before you start with the application of the gel. Once secured, apply coats of the builder gel to bridge any gaps between the nail form and your nail plate. Use the grids provided on the nail form to define the boundaries of your nail extension and apply the gel accordingly. For precise application and even spreading, use a good quality brush for this step. Build several coats of gel from your nail bed to the desired length of nail form until you get a uniform thickness and finish. Now cure the gel extension under a UV lamp for 2-3 minutes, as per the instructions provided on the product packaging. Once the gel is cured, simply detach the nail form and file the nail extensions to perfect their shape.  

Your gel nail extensions are now ready, paint them in colors of your choice and create beautiful patterns for that extra appeal. These gel nail extensions last for at least a couple of weeks and provide great comfort and flexibility without compromising on style. Go for gel nail extensions to create flawless and fashionable nails that look surprisingly natural.
