Then the first product, known as acid primer, will be applied. This cosmetic is antifungal, antibacterial, has the function of eliminating the remaining oil and protecting the area that will receive the stretching.

With the nails ready, it's time for fiber!
After all the preparation, which is essential for the durability of the stretch, it's time to apply the fiber. The threads that give shape to the nail are molded with the help of a gel. He will be responsible for firming the material and leaving the stretch transparent, or with the milky color characteristic of natural nails. To finalize the fixation, the gel must dry in the UV cabin for about one minute or 30 seconds in the LED/UV model.

For the finish, the professional will fill the mold with the gel
Finishing your fiberglass nails starts with gel filling. After waiting for this step to dry in the cabin, the professional will work on a curl that is as close to natural as possible while the stretch is still hot.
After that, all that remains is to make the second layer of gel and the tension point, which holds the stretch and prevents breakage. If necessary, your manicurist will make a final curve with the help of tweezers. Now all that's left is sanding and polishing to finish off the shape of the elongation. The application process takes about three hours in total and guarantees perfect nails.
