Artificial fingernails: solution for damaged nails
Artificial fingernails - made by a professional - can be a good solution for brittle or damaged nails. And they still look almost natural!
We all want beautiful fingernails. But those who have strained fingernails don't have to despair. Artificial fingernails can turn soft and brittle fingernails into real gems - and they look almost natural! It is important that artificial fingernails are made by a specialist.

Gel nails
The nail designer can take a lot of time here, because the gel only hardens when UVA light falls on it for two minutes. This initiates a chain reaction in which the molecules in the gel bind together and allow it to solidify. It gets hot up to 60 degrees - not because of the light, but because the reaction releases heat. Some gels shrink when hardening. There are no solvent vapors, so there are no unpleasant smells. The Federal Office for Risk Assessment classifies the UV radiation dose of the hardening devices as harmless.
Advantages: No fumes, relatively elastic nails.
Disadvantages: Gel nails are often slightly thicker than those of other systems. If you want to get rid of these artificial fingernails, you have to let them grind down. The nail designer should be very careful not to damage the natural nails. If you want to let the nails grow out, you have to plan six months.
Powder-liquid system ("acrylic")
This system requires a high pace: Immediately after the acrylic powder and activator liquid have been mixed, the material begins to harden. This releases gases that should not be inhaled. The nail salon must be well ventilated and it is best to work with an extractor hood.
Advantage: very thin, relatively hard nails.
Disadvantages: pungent smells. To remove the nails, the nail designer has to carefully grind them away. Alternative: let it grow out.
You should pay attention to this
Studio: The qualifications and skills of the nail designer are more important than the system with which she works.
Your nails: If you have splintered, overgrown or discolored nails, you should show them to a dermatologist before getting artificial nails. For very thin, sensitive nails, acidic foundations or later sanding down can be too demanding.
Time and money: Think about whether you would like to accept the expenditure of time (new nails up to two hours, refilling is faster) and the regular costs.
Trial nail: First have a single nail modeled for testing in the nail studio. This way you can determine whether the nail designer works well, whether you like the nail and how you can cope with it in everyday life. If the nail comes off at the edge after a few days, choose a different nail salon.
Tolerability : Wear the test nail for two weeks. If you observe flaky skin around the nail, blisters, itching or red spots on the hands, neck or face, you should avoid artificial nails of this type. Maybe you can tolerate another system better. If you observe growth disorders or deformity of the nail, you should not wear artificial nails.
Hygiene: floors and work surfaces in the studio should be wipeable and clean, the room well ventilated and the workplace tidy.
