Can phototherapy glue be used as extension glue? What are the advantages and disadvantages of phototherapy glue?

Manicure can make the whole hands more beautiful. There are many styles of manicure. Generally, it looks better if the nails are long. If your nails are short, you can use extension glue.

Phototherapy glue is not recommended for extension glue, because the toughness of phototherapy glue is worse than that of basic glue, and it is only suitable for use on the middle layer of glue. If the nails are really short, you can stick nail tips to extend the nails. The extended nails have no support, so the extension needs to be tough.

advantage:

1. Keep for a long time

The manicure made with phototherapy gel can last for a relatively long time. It is no problem to keep it for 1 month. Some people can keep it for 2 months without falling off. However, 1 to 2 months is not enough. After the nails grow longer, there will be a section without manicure. It will not look good if it grows too long.

2. The transparent effect is very good

The phototherapy gel is very transparent and thick when applied on the nails, and it has a strong sense of glue, which looks very cute. Nail polish also has a specific top coat, which can achieve the effect similar to the phototherapy gel, but in terms of wear resistance, the top coat is much worse.

3. No smell

The ingredient of phototherapy glue is light-hardening resin, and it does not smell like anything, especially some imported phototherapy glues.

4. Hand-painted patterns are easier to make

Hand-painted nail patterns dry immediately when exposed to light, and there is no interference between colors.

shortcoming:

1. Expensive

Phototherapy gel has many advantages. A phototherapy manicure can last for 1 to 2 months, but its price is also high, higher than nail polish. You must buy a nail lamp to do phototherapy gel manicure, otherwise it will be very difficult to dry. If you just want to paint your nails for fun, it is better to buy nail polish. Nail polish also has many colors. The disadvantage of nail polish is that it is easy to fall off.

2. Nails are easily injured

Before doing manicure, you need to polish your nails. If you don't pay attention to excessive polishing, it will damage the surface of the nails. It is very likely that the nails will get hot when they are illuminated. It is difficult to remove the nails with ordinary nail polish remover. You need to use a nail bag. Meijiabao is irritating to the nails and the surrounding skin. If possible, you can choose to cut off the nails with manicure when the nails grow too long. A little manicure on the nails will be very ugly, but this method is less harmful to the nails.

3. Difficult to remove

Don't think about removing phototherapy nails by yourself. They are very tightly attached to the nails and must be grinded off first, then wrapped with a nail removal bag. It is easier to remove with a special grinding machine. If you remove it bit by bit by yourself, it will take a long time and it will definitely test your patience.

Phototherapy extension requires a primer.

To do phototherapy nails, you need to first apply a base coat, a color coat, and a top coat to the nails. In layman's terms, first apply a base coat to the nails, then apply a color, and finally seal the nails with the color, which makes the protective color of the nails more perfect. Extension glue and phototherapy glue are different. Extension glue is used to extend natural nails and is generally not replaced by phototherapy glue.

First, trim the nails into a shape suitable for manicure, grind off the surface glaze of the nails, apply a glue sealant, and shine the light for 30 seconds. Stick the paper holder on the back of the hand where the extended nail is. After sticking the paper holder, use a flat-mouthed phototherapy brush to apply an appropriate amount of phototherapy glue. First apply it on the paper holder where the paper holder and the nail are connected, then apply it on the nail surface, and wait for it to solidify. It is not suitable to apply too much phototherapy glue at one time, as it will cause a burning pain to the hand when shining the light.
