Nail reconstruction
Nail reconstruction
Nail reconstruction is a professional technique that allows for the creation of strong nails with the correct structure. This treatment is ideal for those with weak nails that break easily, or for those who wish to lengthen or correct their natural nails.
The collection of nail reconstruction products from Cactus For You is designed to provide everything needed for a professional, safe, and long-lasting result.
Features of gel nail reconstruction
Gel nail reconstruction uses various materials, such as gel and acrygel, to create a strong and durable structure. These products allow for the lengthening and reconstruction of natural nails and correcting any imperfections. Our collection offers a wide range of gels and acrygel suitable for different techniques and preferences.
Advantages of nail reconstruction
- Durability and strength: nails reconstructed with gel or acrygel are much more resistant than natural nails, as the product is very rigid and better withstands impacts and pressure.
- Versatility: it is possible to choose from different lengths, shapes, and colors based on personal preferences.
- Repair: reconstruction can help repair and strengthen damaged or fragile nails.
Types of reconstruction products
- Gel: available in different densities (high, medium, low), consistencies, and colors, it is ideal for creating extensions, reconstructions, and reinforcing natural nails.
- Acrygel: combines the strength of acrylic with the flexibility of gel, offering a versatile and easy-to-shape solution.
- Base for adhesion: the Step One base is essential to ensure perfect adhesion of the product to natural nails.
- Accessories: such as Dual Form and Nail Form for precise and professional reconstruction.
Gel nail reconstruction procedure
To achieve a flawless result, it is important to follow some fundamental steps:
- Nail preparation: file and buff the nails, push back the cuticles and remove them with a special cuticle nipper; finally, eliminate any residue by degreasing the entire area with the Cleanser.
- Application of the Step One Base: an elastic base that helps improve the adhesion of subsequent products, protecting natural nails. It should be applied in a thin layer over the entire surface of the nail plate and cured for 60 seconds.
- Application of Gel or Acrygel: shape the product on the Nail Form or Dual Form, following the desired shape and maintaining the correct structure, then polymerize under a UV or LED lamp.
- Finishing: if necessary, use files and buffers to give the final shape to the nail and smooth the surface.
- Colors and decorations: apply the desired color or perform the nail art you prefer.
- Top Coat: apply the Top Coat to seal and protect the reconstruction, ensuring greater durability and shine.
Removal of nail reconstruction
To remove the reconstruction, it is necessary to use the drill. Here are some important tips:
- Choose the most suitable bit based on the type of product to be removed.
- It is highly recommended to attend a course on the use of the milling machine: incorrect use can indeed cause damage to the nails, even permanent.
Differences between gel and acrygel
The gel is ideal for those looking for a rigid but easy-to-shape material and is available in different consistencies. Acrygel, on the other hand, combines the benefits of gel and acrylic powder, offering a more stable consistency. Both are excellent for reconstruction: the choice depends on personal preferences and the type of desired result.
