I have recently written about \u2018BIAB\u2019 so nail pros have some understanding of what it actually is. Now I\u2019m explaining a bit about the rubber base coat products that have become popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00bfSabes para qu\u00e9 las utilizas? \u00bfSabe para qu\u00e9 sirven? \u00bfC\u00f3mo sabe si tiene uno bueno?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bueno, en primer lugar, \u00a1no tienen nada que ver con el caucho! Es s\u00f3lo un t\u00e9rmino de marketing\/descriptivo utilizado para, lo que deber\u00eda ser, un producto espec\u00edfico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A base coat of any kind is formulated to be the layer that adheres to both the nail plate AND the coating above. It is often in UV gel polish systems, and there are very few colour coats that have good adhesion properties (but there are some!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The preparation of the nail plate is an essential step in any nail service, and should be done meticulously and very efficiently, without ANY damage to neither the nail plate nor the surrounding skin. If a system only needs minimal prep, then the base coat probably has high levels of adhesion monomers, which are far from acceptable in the health and safety of the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many base coats have a very low viscosity, which is why they often have a shorter curing time. They are purely there to form a good bond between the natural substrate (the nail plate) and the \u2018plastic\u2019 coating. Those that have a higher viscosity often are formatted to do a specific job. This is where a \u2018rubber base\u2019 comes in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having a choice of base coats is a good plan as every client’s nails and lifestyle are different. What works for one may not work for another. This is where your professionalism and knowledge come in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aunque no hay ninguna conexi\u00f3n real con el caucho, la descripci\u00f3n sugiere un revestimiento flexible que deber\u00eda funcionar bien con u\u00f1as flexibles, finas y da\u00f1adas, de modo que no haya un revestimiento m\u00e1s r\u00edgido intentando sujetar una placa de u\u00f1as en movimiento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So that is the best \u2018use\u2019! Not for all! There is no point in putting a flexible base on a strong nail plate. They may not even work for a dry nail plate as that can be quite rigid or brittle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00bfC\u00f3mo saber si tiene uno bueno? (Esta informaci\u00f3n procede de Jim McConnell, de McConnell Labs)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prueben ustedes mismos este experimento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– apply a coat of a \u2018rubber base\u2019 on a form
– cure for the recommended time (or double if you don\u2019t have a matched UV lamp)
– remove the sticky layer
– peel the coating off the form
– does it bend and not snap? (It should bend)
– does it tear easily? (it shouldn\u2019t)
– can it be stretched? (very few will stretch, but only very slightly)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Este peque\u00f1o experimento ser\u00e1 una buena prueba y le permitir\u00e1 comparar varias marcas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La mayor\u00eda de las marcas se adhieren bien cuando la u\u00f1a est\u00e1 bien preparada y es adecuada para cada persona. (\u00a1Una talla no sirve para todos!)
Esto le ayudar\u00e1 a decidir si su elecci\u00f3n cumple realmente lo que promete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pero ten en cuenta: \u00bfpor qu\u00e9 lo usas?
Does it fit your client’s nail condition or lifestyle?
\u00bfHace lo que usted espera?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
