Nail Care

Nail care refers to the proper maintenance of the fingernails and toenails. Nail care is important because it helps prevent nail problems, such as fungal nail infections and ingrown toenails. Nails are considered healthy if they are smooth and uniform in color and consistency. Healthy nails do not have ridges or grooves, and they do not have spots or discoloration. In order to maintain healthy nails, it is recommended that individuals keep the nails clean, trimmed, and moisturized. Moisturizing the nails helps prevent the nails from becoming brittle and breaking or cracking.

Acrylic nails

Acrylic nails are made by dipping a brush in to a liquid (called monomer) and then placing the wet brush in a powder (called polymer), creating a ball of product that is then placed on the nail bed and patted in to place. The product is allowed to cure for a few minutes before filing, but the curing process continues over the next 48 hours. Acrylic nails have been around for a very long time and are quite popular. Most nail salons offer them, and many nail technicians have a lot of experience working with this type of artificial nail. That said, they can also be a bit unnatural looking if applied incorrectly or in a hurry, and are occasionally difficult to remove without damaging the nail below. There is also a strong smell associated with some of the chemicals that are involved in the process, which can make the application unpleasant.

Artificial nails

Artificial nails, also known as fake nails, false nails, fashion nails, nail enhancements, or nail extensions, are coverings placed over fingernails as fashion accessories. The artificial nails are not a replacement, but an extension for natural nails. There are two main approaches to creating artificial nails—tips and forms. Tips are made of lightweight plastic plates that are “nail”-shaped. They are glued on the end of the natural nail and acrylic is then applied over the entire nail.

Pedicure

A pedicure is a cosmetic beauty treatment for the feet and toenails, and can also help  to prevent nail diseases such as Athlete’s Foot, fungus and ingrown toenails.

Gel polish

Gel products are pre-mixed and are in an actual “gel” form. A brush is used to pick up a portion of gel and place it on the nail bed, and then it is brushed and coaxed in to position. Then the finger is placed in a low-wattage UV light to cure the gel. Once it is removed from the light, it is fully cured. gel nails do not require the same type of strong-smelling chemicals to apply or remove them. Gel nails are also thinner and more flexible than their acrylic counterpart and may be a better choice for women with thin, soft nail beds.
