To effectively address and prevent product lifting in nail enhancements, it’s essential to grasp the underlying mechanics and contributing factors. By gaining a deeper understanding of why product lifting occurs, nail technicians can implement strategies to enhance adhesion and provide clients with enduring, flawless nails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00bfQu\u00e9 es el lifting de productos ungueales?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nProduct lifting occurs when the bond between the nail enhancement product (such as acrylic, gel, gelpolish or dip powder) and the natural nail bed weakens or breaks. This separation leads to gaps, air pockets, or complete detachment of the enhancement from the natural nail. Understanding the root causes of product lifting is pivotal in devising preventive measures and corrective actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factores que contribuyen a la elevaci\u00f3n del producto<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nTouching any of the skin around the nail plate during product application<\/strong> This is one of the main problems we see, in the salon and at home, this will always cause \u2018lifting\u2019 because the nail plate is in perpetual motion 24\/7 and the skin moves in the opposite direction, it sloofs off in a vertical direction this stops the product being sealed on the nail plate, water & oils get underneath and the nail enhancement lifts off of the nail plate, this tempts you or your client to pick at it and this in turn creates the perfect environment for pathogens to settle and reproduce and the recovery of that nail can take months!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n![\"la](\"https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/nail-product-lifting-early-stages-1.jpg\")

- T\u00e9cnicas de aplicaci\u00f3n incorrectas<\/strong>: La aplicaci\u00f3n de productos para u\u00f1as demasiado espesos, desiguales o apresurados puede provocar aire atrapado, mala adherencia y levantamiento final.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Reacciones al\u00e9rgicas<\/strong>: Some clients might be allergic to certain chemicals present in nail products, causing irritation and lifting due to their body’s immune response.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Manos en el agua<\/strong> Using a hard nail products on weak nails that are always in water is detrimental to product adhesion because the nail plate is full of water it swells up & when this water evaporates the nail plate shrinks \u2013 this puts the product under continuous pressure –<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Medio ambiente<\/strong> Factores<\/strong>: La exposici\u00f3n a la humedad u otros elementos externos durante o despu\u00e9s de la aplicaci\u00f3n puede comprometer la uni\u00f3n entre el embellecedor y la u\u00f1a natural.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Forma y longitud de las u\u00f1as<\/strong>: Las u\u00f1as con una curvatura extrema o una longitud excesiva pueden sufrir una mayor tensi\u00f3n en el realce, lo que puede provocar su levantamiento.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Diferenciar la elevaci\u00f3n de productos de otras cuestiones<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIt’s important to distinguish product lifting from other nail-related concerns, such as chipping, peeling, or breakage. Product lifting specifically refers to the detachment of the enhancement from the nail bed, while other issues might involve issues with the enhancement itself or the natural nail structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is one of the four guardian seals. It protects the nail matrix from pathogens that we come across in our daily lives, and that\u2019s a good thing. However, when it comes to our artificial nail products, it can cause real problems. We need to remove it con cuidado<\/strong>! It doesn\u2019t need aggressive removal with a drill bit rotating at 20.000 RPM. If you think that\u2019s ok, try it on the bonnet of your neighbor\u2019s (new) car, and see what happens! Use your favorite good-quality nail oil & a curette, and you’re done in a couple of minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\nFigura 2a <\/strong>shows a nail plate with cuticle on. There is no light reflection in the cuticle. We all work with lights so seeing it should be no problem.

Washing hands with soap & water is one of the most effective ways to remove oil, minerals, and dirt from hands (feet) and nails. It takes almost no time at all \u2013 we should always do it, especially at the start of our service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polvo de lima de u\u00f1as bajo el borde libre<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nRecontaminaci\u00f3n de la l\u00e1mina ungueal tras la limpieza<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis is an interesting one that we don\u2019t always realize is happening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes working with artificial nail products takes time. Maybe you need to place forms and you’re not fast at that yet. Or the form got stuck on the nail plate. Maybe you are taking your time creating the right structure with a builder base coat. Whatever it may be, it does not matter. We don\u2019t all work at the speed of light, and all of us work hard to improve our speed. Maybe our client is having an emotional day, maybe they rubbed their face after all your prep work. All these things can re-contaminate a nail plate after you have prepped it. If things take you a little longer, do one hand first. When it is complete, start the second hand. That way you greatly reduce the chances of it happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uso excesivo de imprimaci\u00f3n<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nLos primers tienen una funci\u00f3n en el mundo de las u\u00f1as: ayudan a adherir los productos a las placas de las u\u00f1as problem\u00e1ticas. De hecho, algunos productos para u\u00f1as artificiales los necesitan para adherirse correctamente. Todo empieza por el estado de la u\u00f1a natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Removing the upper layer of the nail plate before primer application will make the nail plate unstable & contribute to possible allergies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- ALL primers contain acrylates or cyano-acrylates of some kind.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Los problemas se agravan si curamos los cebadores de forma incorrecta o si los utilizamos en exceso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Algunas imprimaciones se secan al aire y otras se curan en un L\u00e1mpara UV\/LED<\/a>. Aseg\u00farese de leer siempre las instrucciones del fabricante antes de utilizarlos.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUsing too much primer or more than recommended, doesn\u2019t improve adhesion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Inunda la placa de la u\u00f1a, que queda demasiado h\u00fameda para una adhesi\u00f3n adecuada.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Puede provocar quemaduras.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Contribuye a las alergias.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Importante<\/strong>: If we remove the upper layers of the nail plate all of the time instead of just removing the shine, we start to place our product on the \u2018unstable\u2019 nail plate cells that are the middle layers of the nail plate. This will always result in product lifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUso incorrecto de la capa base<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nLa capa base es la parte m\u00e1s incomprendida y maltratada de nuestro servicio de u\u00f1as. Y lo que es m\u00e1s importante, \u00a1es LA parte m\u00e1s importante de nuestro servicio de u\u00f1as!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
D\u00e9jeme que se lo explique: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ONLY layer of your artificial nail product or nail coating, even nail varnish that touches the natural nail is the base coat. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nSi la capa base no se adhiere bien a la u\u00f1a natural, puedes despedirte de todo el recubrimiento o mejora de la u\u00f1a en los pr\u00f3ximos d\u00edas. El levantamiento de productos ser\u00e1 inevitable.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nIn the beginning, Base Gels were high-adhesion, smooth, thin viscosity products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Los buenos promotores de adherencia son algunos de los componentes b\u00e1sicos m\u00e1s caros de nuestra industria de u\u00f1as, si los a\u00f1ades a un gel de construcci\u00f3n los pierdes en el masa<\/a> producto, por lo que si utiliza una capa base de construcci\u00f3n \"todo en uno\", una imprimaci\u00f3n o aglutinante ser\u00e1 esencial.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nGeles de base<\/a> are an efficient way to create maximum adhesion to the natural nail. In 2022, you can apply a high-quality base coat without roughing up or buffing the natural nail plate. Just using a high-quality nail plate cleanser will ensure that the integrity of the natural nail is maintained when artificial nail product coatings are used.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSome base coats achieve better adhesion if you use a primer or bonder – sometimes using a primer will also make the soak-off process easier. Some primers can and will extend the life of your soak-off product. It\u2019s really important to not try and create your own recipe. Use the primer from the same company that provided your base coat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Primers are specially formulated to match a system. Don\u2019t be fooled into thinking the primer from company A will match the base coat from company B. You could end up cross-linking problem ingredients and end up with less adhesion instead of a better adhesion or, even worse, an allergy. Leave the chemistry to the chemists!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s important to realize that all base coats are composed differently. Some are made to soak off, and some are made to stay on the natural nail for longer. Be aware if you do a cosmetic pedicure that you will need a more durable base coat since your client is not likely to return to have her toenails done in 14 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s recap:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- If your base coat needs to be cured for 10 seconds, don\u2019t cure it for 30 seconds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Your color coat will only adhere to the base coat, control your base coat application \u2013 use your light to check that you have coated the entire nail plate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Use the color coat that matches the base coat. Otherwise, the inhibition layer in the base coat could adversely affect the color coat adhesion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Cubra siempre el borde libre de la u\u00f1a con la capa de base.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Mantenga la capa de base alejada de la piel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If your base coat has a nail life of 14 days \u2013 remove the product after 14 days, even if it looks good to the human eye the product will already be breaking down. Infections from White Superficial Onychomycosis or Pseudomonas Aeruginosa become a real possibility since both are part of our natural microbiomes (they already exist on our hands & feet)and are opportunistic. This means that, given the chance, they will develop in or on the natural nail plate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- L\u00e1vese siempre las manos con agua y jab\u00f3n y s\u00e9quelas bien antes de aplicar la capa base (esto eliminar\u00e1 la mayor\u00eda de los pat\u00f3genos de la superficie, como WOS y PA).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Do your PREP and or PEP according to the manufacturer\u2019s instructions.\n
\n- Don\u2019t rough up the nail plate with a file before applying your base coat, use a good quality nail plate cleanser instead, nail plate integrity is everything for a long-lasting service.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If you want a longer-lasting base coat \u2013 buy one.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Si su clienta tiene placas de u\u00f1as flexibles, utilice tambi\u00e9n una laca de u\u00f1as flexible como capa base.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If your client has (open) beaded ridge nail plates a soak-off product might not be smart. Use a thin layer of Liquid & Powder that you can rebalance instead \u2013 or a thin layer of an Acrygel that you can rebalance – your client will thank you for it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If you want a soak-off product, make sure you soak it off in time and according to the manufacturer\u2019s instructions. 10 mins = not 5 mins \ud83d\ude0a if your base coat adheres well to the natural nail, the only thing you will gain from saving 5 mins is 5 months of adhesion problems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Aseg\u00farese de saber lo que su clienta espera que aguante su esmalte o mejora de u\u00f1as, y elija su esmalte base en funci\u00f3n de sus expectativas y estilo de vida.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Producto no curado<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nUncured product is a problem because we don\u2019t often see the problem it can cause until later (24\/48hrs later). Also, I have yet to meet a colleague that has x-ray vision! Sometimes it takes a few hours for the upper layer of your nail coating to collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s have a look at the problems that can occur from under-curing: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Arrugas y burbujas<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Peeling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Arrugas y burbujas<\/strong>: Suele ocurrir con colores oscuros, negro, azul oscuro, verde oscuro, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Esmalte](\"https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Wrinkling-uv-gel-polish.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n- El producto se aplica demasiado espeso\n
\n- La luz UV\/LED no puede penetrar en el color. Cuando esto ocurre, la capa superior del producto se cura pero, como la energ\u00eda UV no pudo llegar m\u00e1s profundo, la mitad inferior del producto permanece fluida. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Apply 2 thin layers instead of 1 thick layer \u2013 don\u2019t worry about blotching, the 2nd<\/sup>abrigo lo cubrir\u00e1. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Check that your UV\/LED lamp still works as well as it should. You can test this by placing some product on a form, curing it, then lifting it to see that the product is hard all the way through.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- La l\u00e1mpara UV\/LED no corresponde al producto\n
\n- Utilice la luz UV\/LED adecuada para su producto.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Your UV\/LED light is one of the most critical pieces of equipment in your salon. Nanometers are everything when it comes to product cure but even the best UV energy has trouble penetrating thick, dark colors, leading to product lifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Una de las mejores inversiones que har\u00e1 ser\u00e1 en la l\u00e1mpara que se adapte a su producto. La siguiente mejor inversi\u00f3n es en sus propias habilidades de control del producto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Descamaci\u00f3n o desconchados: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Astillado](\"https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Chipping-nail-enhancement.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n- La colocaci\u00f3n de las manos en la l\u00e1mpara no es como deber\u00eda ser\n
\n- Check to see if the placement of your client\u2019s hand is as it should be. Thumbs have always been a problem, but nowadays manufacturers create UV\/LED lights with extra Light Emitting Diodes (the little lights) where the thumb should be. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- La placa de la u\u00f1a no se prepar\u00f3 adecuadamente antes de la aplicaci\u00f3n del producto\n
\n- A veces nos olvidamos de limpiar el borde libre con nuestro limpiador. Tambi\u00e9n puede ocurrir que haya algo de polvo de lima bajo el borde libre. T\u00f3mate un minuto para darle la vuelta a la mano antes de aplicar el producto, para asegurarte. Cuando su cliente se lave las manos con agua y jab\u00f3n antes de su PEP o PREP, dele un cepillo de u\u00f1as para limpiar bien debajo del borde libre. Seque bien y aseg\u00farese de cubrir el borde libre no s\u00f3lo con la capa base sino tambi\u00e9n con el color.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Placas de u\u00f1as inestables<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Placa ungueal limada demasiado fina\n
\n- Esto crea una placa ungueal inestable en el borde libre, pero tambi\u00e9n un gran problema cuando la u\u00f1a crece.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Product lifting is almost guaranteed and worse still, this client probably wants these ugly nails covered so the look amazing even if they are not. Explain how you\u2019re going to solve the problem and why putting product on this nail plate is not a smart thing to do. The chances of a nail plate infection caused by WSO or PA is waiting to happen and any product you do apply will likely lift. That would be a waste of your time and a waste of your client’s money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Rings-of-fire-on-fingernails.png\")

\n- Nail biters only have minimal layers of nail plate left \u2013 remember the nail plate is in perpetual motion 24\/7. If you have been to the seaside arcade with the penny machines that push the top coin into the drop tray \u2013 the nail plate cells work in the same way. Like an escalator in a store.

Usando puntas en su mordedor de u\u00f1as:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI know a lot of nail techs do use tips on nail biting clients but try to resist the pressure, don\u2019t be afraid he\/she will go to another salon, explain the advantages of not doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Los tips son una gran herramienta en el mundo de las u\u00f1as, pero una vez que tu mordedor de u\u00f1as mete sus dientes debajo de \u00e9l, simplemente lo arrancar\u00e1, esto causar\u00e1 a\u00fan m\u00e1s da\u00f1o a la u\u00f1a natural que est\u00e1s tratando de hacer lucir hermosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tips need glue to adhere to the natural nail, glue contains cyano-acrylates that are allergens if they come into contact with the skin and the chances of that happening with 1\/3 of a nail plate to work with is high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, all that damaged stratum corneum around the proximal nail fold \u2013 nightmare for perfect product placement with lifting being the inevitable result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oil, oil, and more oil \u2013 give it 6 weeks then strut your nail stuff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember – A temporary fix may look good for a day or 2 but is not a real fix. Solve the nail plate problem first and you will have a client in your salon for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tama\u00f1o y ajuste incorrectos de las puntas de las u\u00f1as artificiales<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIt’s important to choose the right size of tip for the nail of your client, but If in doubt use a flexible nail tip that is straight. Apply it only to the free edge of the nail (unless of course it\u2019s a full cover tip \u2013 even then fit is really important). <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Nail-tip-application.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf the tip is too big, you will create a flat C curve; if it’s too small, you will create a \u2018staircase\u2019 effect at the lateral nail fold and the free edge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m going to keep this simple \u2013 Look for perfection training, all respectable brands have educators that do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pegamento de punta<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nTodas las colas o resinas para puntas est\u00e1n fabricadas o contienen cianoacrilato de etilo o cianoacrilatos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Cyanoacrylates are a family of strong, fast-acting adhesives with industrial, medical, and household uses. They are derived from ethyl cyanoacrylate and related esters. The cyanoacrylate group in the monomer rapidly polymerizes in the presence of water to form long, strong chains. They have some minor toxicity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Ethyl cyanoacrylates are also used in forensics for lifting fingerprints when traditional fingerprint powder cannot be used, for instance on very delicate items. This happens in an enclosed chamber that is heated to allow the ethyl cyanoacrylate to turn into fumes and so show the hidden fingerprint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Los pegamentos de consumo disponibles en el mercado no son adecuados para aplicaciones cosm\u00e9ticas o m\u00e9dicas en manos\/pies, ya que no son de grado cosm\u00e9tico o m\u00e9dico, lo que significa que sus formulaciones de disolventes y cianoacrilatos no se han evaluado ni optimizado para reducir la toxicidad y evitar cuerpos extra\u00f1os o reacciones al\u00e9rgicas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Basically, they are all super glues, and all contain allergens \u2013 tenga mucho cuidado de que no entren en contacto con la piel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEthyl cyanoacrylate and cyanoacrylates have a limited shelf life. Solvents are added to the mix to help the adhesive solidify quickly. When you open a bottle of nail tip adhesive the solvents are evaporating, and the quality of the adhesive will reduce very quickly. If you don\u2019t use it often, buy smaller bottles of 5ml and that will reduce wastage and frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pegamento viejo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nNail glue has a limited shelf life. The older it gets, the less likely it is to form a sufficient bond to hold the nail tip in place. This affects its \u2018stickiness\u2019, and your nail tip extension will not last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tambi\u00e9n es importante recordar que los adhesivos para u\u00f1as tienen una vida \u00fatil limitada incluso cuando son nuevos. Esta es la raz\u00f3n por la que debe aplicar tips para u\u00f1as s\u00f3lo en el borde libre de la u\u00f1a, 2 mm = 2 semanas de crecimiento para la u\u00f1a natural media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
La estructura de su producto de u\u00f1as artificiales es lo que mantendr\u00e1 su mejora de extensi\u00f3n en su lugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despu\u00e9s de aplicar los tips, no elimine el exceso de polvo con alcohol o limpiador de u\u00f1as, ya que acelerar\u00eda la descomposici\u00f3n del adhesivo y\/o debilitar\u00eda el tip de pl\u00e1stico. Es mejor quitarlo con un cepillo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Si no se prepara correctamente la u\u00f1a natural, siempre se producir\u00e1 un levantamiento de la bolsa que, a su vez, se convertir\u00e1 en el caldo de cultivo perfecto para pat\u00f3genos residentes o transitorios como la pseudomonas aeruginosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aseg\u00farese de que su clienta entiende que con las extensiones de tips de u\u00f1as siempre tendr\u00e1 que llevar guantes cuando realice cualquier tarea que implique otros disolventes y\/o agua. Por eso las extensiones de u\u00f1as no son ideales para clientas que trabajan en bares u otros servicios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colocaci\u00f3n incorrecta del formulario<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nLa colocaci\u00f3n de la forma es algo que hay que practicar y perfeccionar. Una vez que lo domines, no volver\u00e1s a utilizar un tip de u\u00f1as.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Nail-form.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nForms have wings and lines. These are to ensure a perfect fit. Most brands have their own forms, all a little different in shape but all with the same goal in mind. Perfect form fitting creates a stable enhancement that fits the nail and the nail unit of your client. You can then place the artificial nail or extension with perfect alignment and balance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Los problemas empiezan cuando se parte de una u\u00f1a plana y no se ajusta la forma para que coincida. La forma tiene que asentarse perfectamente en<\/strong> the free edge of the natural nail, and you should create the C-Curve with the nail product. (See Picture E) If you leave a gap (because you are trying to create the C-Curve with your form) and the nail product leaks through the gap, even water from something simple like your client taking a shower will cause the product to lift in a matter of hours. (See picture D) <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Colocaci\u00f3n](\"https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Improper-form-fitting.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you start with a curved nail and the form does not properly fit, the product will not cure as well as it should. Apply the product in thinner layers, and cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With practice you will achieve this \u2013 see picture E<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Colocaci\u00f3n](\"https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Proper-form-fitting.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nLa aplicaci\u00f3n de formas requiere pr\u00e1ctica. Pregunte a su proveedor de la marca acerca de la formaci\u00f3n sobre la perfecci\u00f3n y la colocaci\u00f3n de la forma. Cuando lo haga bien, no tendr\u00e1 problemas de levantamiento del producto en los pliegues de la u\u00f1a ni en el borde libre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Producto en contacto con la piel durante la aplicaci\u00f3n<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nLas c\u00e9lulas de la l\u00e1mina ungueal se forman en la matriz y se abren camino a lo largo del eponiquio (donde est\u00e1 adherida la cut\u00edcula). A continuaci\u00f3n, salen por debajo de la PNF, donde las vemos como la l\u00e1mina ungueal normal. (La imagen F muestra esta acci\u00f3n en movimiento)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Esto ocurre 24 horas al d\u00eda, 7 d\u00edas a la semana. Las enfermedades o el embarazo pueden ralentizar o acelerar este movimiento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If our product application is not as secure as it should be, maybe you\u2019re in a hurry, maybe you didn\u2019t bring your glasses to work or maybe the product you are using has a thin viscosity \u2013 the product might then drip into the lateral nail fold and become attached to your skin. (Figure G shows this)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En la MasterClass 1.2 podr\u00e1s refrescar tu memoria sobre este tema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn picture F, you see 2 blue arrows; In picture G, two red arrows. So now imagine that they are in the same place in the lateral nail fold. F is in perpetual motion and G is static, the gel polish is hard and can only move with the nail plate. The gel polish that is in the nail grove will come loose and lift away, creating an opening. Water, oil, lotion, pathogens… Anything and everything can get between your gel polish and the nail plate! Product lifting will happen, and possibly an infection to boot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Se necesita mucha pr\u00e1ctica para colocar el producto perfectamente alrededor del PNF y de los pliegues laterales de las u\u00f1as.

If you haven\u2019t mastered L&P, product lifting becomes a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Archivado excesivo<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
B\u00e1sicamente, una aplicaci\u00f3n desigual de L&P siempre provocar\u00e1 un levantamiento del producto o de la bolsa. Deber\u00e1 limarlo hasta que quede uniforme. Eventualmente, limar a trav\u00e9s del realce es una posibilidad real, y limar a trav\u00e9s de la placa de la u\u00f1a tambi\u00e9n lo es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using an acrylic brush you are not in control of, and a product that is too dry, may leave \u2018doorsteps\u2019 at the PNF. (see the red arrow in picture L)
La placa de la u\u00f1a en el PNF est\u00e1 en su punto m\u00e1s blando, y esas c\u00e9lulas de la placa de la u\u00f1a tienen que sobrevivir intactas durante 5 meses. Un limado excesivo aqu\u00ed no s\u00f3lo da\u00f1ar\u00e1 su realce sino tambi\u00e9n la placa ungueal, y el producto se levantar\u00e1. Del mismo modo, si la forma no se ajusta bien, la pared lateral del implante no ser\u00e1 fuerte (v\u00e9ase la figura L, flecha amarilla) y el borde libre ser\u00e1 irregular y d\u00e9bil (v\u00e9ase la figura L, flecha naranja).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n![\"errores](\"https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/msitakes-in-application.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/proper-sculpting-will-help-avoid-product-lifting.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhen the form is placed well and you have control of your L&P, you will not need to file excessively at the nail folds and your apex will be so strong the nail will last and last. (see figure K red, yellow and orange arrow)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Producto demasiado h\u00famedo<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Si la perla de L&P est\u00e1 demasiado h\u00fameda, el producto que se desliza por los pliegues laterales de la u\u00f1a (como en el ejemplo del esmalte de gel de la figura F) har\u00e1 que el L&P se levante. Debido a que los sistemas L&P se secan al aire en lugar de curarse en una l\u00e1mpara, usted tiene m\u00e1s tiempo para tirar suavemente y mantener la piel en los pliegues de la u\u00f1a durante la colocaci\u00f3n del producto y mantener el control del producto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One more important reason for product lifting with L&P systems is shrinkage. L&P that is too wet will air dry at the wrong speed. When this happens, the excess monomer evaporates, the remaining polymer chains get pulled together, and the product tightens on the natural nail. This will not only cause pocket lifting that will be the perfect place for nasty pathogens, but it can actually be painful and heat will be generated by the chemical reaction caused by the polymers as they dry. Your client will experience this as uncomfortable pressure, maybe even intense heat hours later, and the enhancement will not last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Practice, practice, a little patience, and lots of \u2018bead making\u2019 on practice sheets will ensure that you can create the perfect enhancement that will last longer than any other. A natural nail overlay with L&P will not only look stunning but, when placed well, it will wear as no other, and the rebalance will be done in 30mins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No utilizar el sistema adecuado para el tipo de u\u00f1a espec\u00edfico<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nLet\u2019s go back to figure F. Remember the nail plate cells and their movement?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/nail-plate-cells-and-their-movement.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nMarian Newman habla en Masterclass One de c\u00f3mo el grosor de la placa ungueal viene determinado por la longitud de la matriz. Las c\u00e9lulas m\u00e1s nuevas de la l\u00e1mina ungueal son m\u00e1s blandas, no est\u00e1n maduras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ahora imagina que tienes una u\u00f1a amargada, con placas de u\u00f1as finas para empezar, que no puede resistir masticar su camino a trav\u00e9s de la placa de la u\u00f1a restante. \u00a1Nada bueno sale de poner un producto duro para esculpir sobre esa base tan d\u00e9bil! La raz\u00f3n por la que no ir\u00e1 bien es porque la base (la placa de la u\u00f1a) tiene capas masticadas incompletas y est\u00e1 siempre en movimiento. El levantamiento de la bolsa ser\u00e1 inevitable, con todo lo desagradable que ello conlleva. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Una placa ungueal d\u00e9bil necesita un producto flexible aplicado finamente (si<\/em> you are going to use a product). I would recommend first recovering the nail biter’s nail plate before considering any product application. But, if you must, maybe for a wedding or a special occasion, use a clear fiber gel (figure J:)<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Fiber-gel.png\")
Figure J: Fiber gel really does contain fibers \ud83d\ude0a<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nYou can create simple small nails with a special effect nail varnish topcoat and your client will love you forever. He or she will have great looking nails with no problems, and you will be able to see through the product spotting any problems with lifting before things get out of hand. Get him or her to come back after the occasion \u2013 check that the nail coating is still intact, and no problems are occurring – if it\u2019s not remove it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elevaci\u00f3n del producto<\/strong>en el contexto del cuidado de las u\u00f1as, se refiere a la separaci\u00f3n o desprendimiento de los productos para u\u00f1as, como las mejoras acr\u00edlicas o de gel, de la placa de la u\u00f1a natural. Este problema se produce cuando el producto de u\u00f1as aplicado pierde su adherencia a la u\u00f1a natural, lo que da lugar a huecos entre el producto y la u\u00f1a natural o incluso al desprendimiento completo. El levantamiento del producto puede deberse a diferentes factores, algunos de los cuales podemos provocar nosotros mismos (involuntariamente).<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pocket-lifting-nails.jpg\")

If you knock the enhancement or nail coating while shopping, or while cleaning (even if you are wearing gloves) then the impact can cause the product to lift, and you won\u2019t always see it from the outside. This pocket of air between the enhancement & the nail plate creates the perfect place for opportunistic pathogens. The problem is that because we have created gorgeous nails we don\u2019t always see on time whats going on underneath \u2013 so a good rule would be, when in doubt, if you know you have knocked your nail remove the product to check if and what damage has been done and repair it as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\nElevaci\u00f3n de bolsillo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nPocket lifting occurs when the nail product separates from the nail plate but not around the edge.

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf it\u2019s a natural overlay or a long extension \u2013 the result is the same, the nail enhancement is detached from the nail plate in the center \u2013 we can see it on the left nail because the enhancement is clear, on the right nail we only see it because we are rebalancing the enhancement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Pinching\u2019 is something we do in competition to create the perfect C-Curve, it needs to be done well and with care because if we \u2018pinch\u2019 an artificial nail product and the nail product is too hard, product lifting becomes a real possibility. 30 years ago, pinching was the \u2018norm\u2019 and in competition is still a useful tool if you have been trained well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Competition-French-in-Progress.jpg\")

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nInestabilidad o debilidad de la placa ungueal<\/strong>
If you \u2018buff\u2019 the natural nail before applying nail coatings of any sort, then, per definition, you are weakening the nail plate. If you also remove the skin from around the nail plate in the lateral nail folds & proximal nail fold, then you destabilize the entire nail plate. This creates an instability, a bit like building a house on sand instead of a solid foundation. Built on sand, the house will show signs of weakness or collapse, build on proper strong foundations the house will remain standing for as long as the building materials allow. The same is true for the nail plate when it \u2018carries\u2019 a nail coating. When the nail is intact and its surrounding seals are still in place the nail coating will remail attached to the nail plate for as long as the nail coating is made to last, if we remove any or all of the essential parts the nail plate becomes unstable and our nail coating will per definition become instable and weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSometimes we get a little too enthusiastic when we are told to \u2018remove the shine\u2019 from our nail plate with a file. It\u2019s better to think about replacing the b\u00fafer<\/a> lima con un buen limpiador de la placa de la u\u00f1a. El producto se adherir\u00e1 bien a la u\u00f1a natural y la l\u00e1mina ungueal se mantendr\u00e1 fuerte. Recuerde que la l\u00e1mina ungueal tiene un grosor medio de s\u00f3lo 0,380 mm. No es necesario limar mucho para eliminar no s\u00f3lo su capa superior, sino que limar demasiado influir\u00e1 definitivamente en su estabilidad e invitar\u00e1 a entrar a los pat\u00f3genos.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTambi\u00e9n es posible que haya aplicado un recubrimiento de u\u00f1as en una u\u00f1a da\u00f1ada por un mordedor o un recogedor de u\u00f1as, la base es inestable y su recubrimiento de u\u00f1as es vulnerable, es m\u00e1s inteligente resolver primero el problema de la estructura de la placa de la u\u00f1a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are professional products on the market that create an \u2018interpenetrating polymer network, en<\/em> the nail plate. Strengthening the nail plate while maintaining a healthy flexibility is important, however, you should make a plan to completely recover the nail plate before applying any product at all. Care & maintenance with oil & lotion is essential but your client may want an \u2018instant result\u2019 and of course, we understand that, but sometimes taking a little more time to recover the nail unit first is better for you and your client. If you understand why its important to take a little time to recover the nail unit first, you can explain this to your client and he or she will love you for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFor \u2018special occasions\u2019 its possible to create gorgeous nails that stay in place for the occasion but that can be easily removed so that nail plate recovery or nail maintenance can continue after the fact \u2013 Using \u2018Full Cover Tips\u2019 or \u2018Press on Show Tips\u2019 could be a temporary option if you place them with care & remove them in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Infecciones<\/strong>
Las infecciones pueden ocurrirle a cualquiera, en cualquier momento, tanto si eres un t\u00e9cnico de u\u00f1as profesional o aficionado como si te haces tus propias u\u00f1as, y las infecciones en o alrededor de donde se ha levantado el producto son simplemente una consecuencia de que el producto se haya levantado.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWe always have pathogens and microbiomes with us, they are a part of our normal daily life, most are essential to our wellbeing but sometimes, circumstances happen that create the perfect surroundings for them to allow their \u2018nasty side\u2019 to develop. Where your product is lifted from the natural nail becomes a cozy place for pseudomonas aeruginosa or WSO (white superficial onicomicosis<\/a>) to develop and cause a riot. The problem is we can\u2019t always see this happening because they are developing underneath our nail coatings.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSi nota que algo le ha causado un problema, tal vez sospeche de una infecci\u00f3n, retire el revestimiento, l\u00edmpielo bien, utilice los Protocolos de Primeros Auxilios, obtenga un diagn\u00f3stico y resuelva el problema antes de volver a aplicar el producto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Nail-Infections.jpg\")

Both of these infections are caused by our own body\u2019s microbiome because we made it possible for them to develop. Hand & Nail maintenance with oil & lotion should be standard practice when artificial nail coatings or Nail Polish has been applied and we should be able to communicate this to our clients and to understand it ourselves whether we are DIY, students, or nail professionals \u2013 follow the same basic rules & the same hand & nail maintenance plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Placas ungueales afectadas por la hiperhidrosis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Palmar-Hyperhidrosis-or-Sweaty-palms.png\")
Hiperhidrosis palmar o palmas sudorosas <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nExcessive sweating or uncontrolled sweating (Palmer Hyperhidrosis) affects you\u2019re the \u2018cushioned\u2019 part of your hands. Sweating occurs uncontrollably. Your hands may feel clammy or wet most of the time, it can happen at any temperature or during any season. The symptoms can increase in times of stress or anxiety. Socially it makes you feel uncomfortable shaking hands with someone, handing out papers at a meeting, or typing on a keyboard. Sweating happens without a trigger, not due to any external factor like exercising or an increase in body temperature. It can run in families, and it can be associated with other forms of hyperhidrosis or with certain medical conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Puede afectar a las placas ungueales porque el exceso de humedad que se forma en el lecho ungueal y alrededor de la u\u00f1a puede hacer que la placa ungueal quede blanda. Si su clienta padece hiperhidrosis, podr\u00eda ser una contraindicaci\u00f3n para la colocaci\u00f3n de esmaltes de u\u00f1as por el riesgo de crear las condiciones perfectas para. S\u00f3lo se recomienda el esmalte de u\u00f1as.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colocaci\u00f3n del producto debajo del PNF<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nEsta pr\u00e1ctica, sin saber d\u00f3nde empieza o acaba el eponiquio (durante un excesivo e-file<\/a> manicura), es irresponsable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Touching any of the skin around the nail plate during product application<\/strong> This is one of the main problems we see, in the salon and at home, this will always cause \u2018lifting\u2019 because the nail plate is in perpetual motion 24\/7 and the skin moves in the opposite direction, it sloofs off in a vertical direction this stops the product being sealed on the nail plate, water & oils get underneath and the nail enhancement lifts off of the nail plate, this tempts you or your client to pick at it and this in turn creates the perfect environment for pathogens to settle and reproduce and the recovery of that nail can take months!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s important to distinguish product lifting from other nail-related concerns, such as chipping, peeling, or breakage. Product lifting specifically refers to the detachment of the enhancement from the nail bed, while other issues might involve issues with the enhancement itself or the natural nail structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Al comprender estos aspectos, los t\u00e9cnicos de u\u00f1as pueden aplicar estrategias preventivas durante los procesos de preparaci\u00f3n y aplicaci\u00f3n de las u\u00f1as. Las secciones siguientes de este art\u00edculo profundizar\u00e1n en el reconocimiento de los signos de levantamiento del producto, la comprensi\u00f3n de sus causas y la exploraci\u00f3n de t\u00e9cnicas para prevenirlo y gestionarlo eficazmente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pero, \u00bfcu\u00e1l es la causa?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cut\u00edcula de la l\u00e1mina ungueal <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n La cut\u00edcula<\/a> est\u00e1 hecho de tejido el\u00e1stico no vivo y se pega a la placa para clavos<\/a> cells as they come through the eponychium. It is one of the four guardian seals. It protects the nail matrix from pathogens that we come across in our daily lives, and that\u2019s a good thing. However, when it comes to our artificial nail products, it can cause real problems. We need to remove it con cuidado<\/strong>! It doesn\u2019t need aggressive removal with a drill bit rotating at 20.000 RPM. If you think that\u2019s ok, try it on the bonnet of your neighbor\u2019s (new) car, and see what happens! Use your favorite good-quality nail oil & a curette, and you’re done in a couple of minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Figura 2a <\/strong>shows a nail plate with cuticle on. There is no light reflection in the cuticle. We all work with lights so seeing it should be no problem. If you can\u2019t see it, buy a loupe or some glasses \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n Figura 2b<\/strong> shows a nail plate without cuticle \u2013 the light reflects through the whole length of the nail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Durante los cierres de Covid-19, todas est\u00e1bamos encantadas de poder volver a trabajar. En muchos pa\u00edses, grupos de expertos en u\u00f1as cedieron su tiempo gratuitamente para ayudar a los salones a encontrar formas de trabajar siguiendo pr\u00e1cticas seguras. Las pr\u00e1cticas higi\u00e9nicas eran elevadas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Washing hands with soap & water is one of the most effective ways to remove oil, minerals, and dirt from hands (feet) and nails. It takes almost no time at all \u2013 we should always do it, especially at the start of our service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you have finished removing the cuticle, and shaped the free edge with your file, let your client wash their hands de nuevo<\/em> with soap, water, and a soft nail brush, dry them well, and continue with your favorite nail plate cleanser. 2 minutes now save 30 minutes of problem-solving in about a week’s time! Allow yourself those couple of minutes. I promise that you will be rewarded with much less product lifting \u2013 good for you, good for your client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *Don\u2019t forget, nail dust or dust from filing off artificial nail products can cause lifting problems at the free edge too! All the more reason for a quick wash after filing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is an interesting one that we don\u2019t always realize is happening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes working with artificial nail products takes time. Maybe you need to place forms and you’re not fast at that yet. Or the form got stuck on the nail plate. Maybe you are taking your time creating the right structure with a builder base coat. Whatever it may be, it does not matter. We don\u2019t all work at the speed of light, and all of us work hard to improve our speed. Maybe our client is having an emotional day, maybe they rubbed their face after all your prep work. All these things can re-contaminate a nail plate after you have prepped it. If things take you a little longer, do one hand first. When it is complete, start the second hand. That way you greatly reduce the chances of it happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Los primers tienen una funci\u00f3n en el mundo de las u\u00f1as: ayudan a adherir los productos a las placas de las u\u00f1as problem\u00e1ticas. De hecho, algunos productos para u\u00f1as artificiales los necesitan para adherirse correctamente. Todo empieza por el estado de la u\u00f1a natural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Los problemas se agravan si curamos los cebadores de forma incorrecta o si los utilizamos en exceso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Algunas imprimaciones se secan al aire y otras se curan en un L\u00e1mpara UV\/LED<\/a>. Aseg\u00farese de leer siempre las instrucciones del fabricante antes de utilizarlos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using too much primer or more than recommended, doesn\u2019t improve adhesion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Importante<\/strong>: If we remove the upper layers of the nail plate all of the time instead of just removing the shine, we start to place our product on the \u2018unstable\u2019 nail plate cells that are the middle layers of the nail plate. This will always result in product lifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n La capa base es la parte m\u00e1s incomprendida y maltratada de nuestro servicio de u\u00f1as. Y lo que es m\u00e1s importante, \u00a1es LA parte m\u00e1s importante de nuestro servicio de u\u00f1as!<\/p>\n\n\n\n D\u00e9jeme que se lo explique: <\/p>\n\n\n\n The ONLY layer of your artificial nail product or nail coating, even nail varnish that touches the natural nail is the base coat. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Si la capa base no se adhiere bien a la u\u00f1a natural, puedes despedirte de todo el recubrimiento o mejora de la u\u00f1a en los pr\u00f3ximos d\u00edas. El levantamiento de productos ser\u00e1 inevitable.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n In the beginning, Base Gels were high-adhesion, smooth, thin viscosity products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Los buenos promotores de adherencia son algunos de los componentes b\u00e1sicos m\u00e1s caros de nuestra industria de u\u00f1as, si los a\u00f1ades a un gel de construcci\u00f3n los pierdes en el masa<\/a> producto, por lo que si utiliza una capa base de construcci\u00f3n \"todo en uno\", una imprimaci\u00f3n o aglutinante ser\u00e1 esencial.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Geles de base<\/a> are an efficient way to create maximum adhesion to the natural nail. In 2022, you can apply a high-quality base coat without roughing up or buffing the natural nail plate. Just using a high-quality nail plate cleanser will ensure that the integrity of the natural nail is maintained when artificial nail product coatings are used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some base coats achieve better adhesion if you use a primer or bonder – sometimes using a primer will also make the soak-off process easier. Some primers can and will extend the life of your soak-off product. It\u2019s really important to not try and create your own recipe. Use the primer from the same company that provided your base coat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Primers are specially formulated to match a system. Don\u2019t be fooled into thinking the primer from company A will match the base coat from company B. You could end up cross-linking problem ingredients and end up with less adhesion instead of a better adhesion or, even worse, an allergy. Leave the chemistry to the chemists!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s important to realize that all base coats are composed differently. Some are made to soak off, and some are made to stay on the natural nail for longer. Be aware if you do a cosmetic pedicure that you will need a more durable base coat since your client is not likely to return to have her toenails done in 14 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s recap:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Uncured product is a problem because we don\u2019t often see the problem it can cause until later (24\/48hrs later). Also, I have yet to meet a colleague that has x-ray vision! Sometimes it takes a few hours for the upper layer of your nail coating to collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s have a look at the problems that can occur from under-curing: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Arrugas y burbujas<\/strong>: Suele ocurrir con colores oscuros, negro, azul oscuro, verde oscuro, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your UV\/LED light is one of the most critical pieces of equipment in your salon. Nanometers are everything when it comes to product cure but even the best UV energy has trouble penetrating thick, dark colors, leading to product lifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Una de las mejores inversiones que har\u00e1 ser\u00e1 en la l\u00e1mpara que se adapte a su producto. La siguiente mejor inversi\u00f3n es en sus propias habilidades de control del producto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Descamaci\u00f3n o desconchados: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Product lifting is almost guaranteed and worse still, this client probably wants these ugly nails covered so the look amazing even if they are not. Explain how you\u2019re going to solve the problem and why putting product on this nail plate is not a smart thing to do. The chances of a nail plate infection caused by WSO or PA is waiting to happen and any product you do apply will likely lift. That would be a waste of your time and a waste of your client’s money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The nails in Fig 5 took 11 months to treat with lots of quality oil & lotion. But now these nail plates are ready for any product or no product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Usando puntas en su mordedor de u\u00f1as:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I know a lot of nail techs do use tips on nail biting clients but try to resist the pressure, don\u2019t be afraid he\/she will go to another salon, explain the advantages of not doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Los tips son una gran herramienta en el mundo de las u\u00f1as, pero una vez que tu mordedor de u\u00f1as mete sus dientes debajo de \u00e9l, simplemente lo arrancar\u00e1, esto causar\u00e1 a\u00fan m\u00e1s da\u00f1o a la u\u00f1a natural que est\u00e1s tratando de hacer lucir hermosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tips need glue to adhere to the natural nail, glue contains cyano-acrylates that are allergens if they come into contact with the skin and the chances of that happening with 1\/3 of a nail plate to work with is high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, all that damaged stratum corneum around the proximal nail fold \u2013 nightmare for perfect product placement with lifting being the inevitable result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oil, oil, and more oil \u2013 give it 6 weeks then strut your nail stuff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember – A temporary fix may look good for a day or 2 but is not a real fix. Solve the nail plate problem first and you will have a client in your salon for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s important to choose the right size of tip for the nail of your client, but If in doubt use a flexible nail tip that is straight. Apply it only to the free edge of the nail (unless of course it\u2019s a full cover tip \u2013 even then fit is really important). <\/p>\n\n\n\n If the tip is too big, you will create a flat C curve; if it’s too small, you will create a \u2018staircase\u2019 effect at the lateral nail fold and the free edge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m going to keep this simple \u2013 Look for perfection training, all respectable brands have educators that do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Todas las colas o resinas para puntas est\u00e1n fabricadas o contienen cianoacrilato de etilo o cianoacrilatos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Basically, they are all super glues, and all contain allergens \u2013 tenga mucho cuidado de que no entren en contacto con la piel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ethyl cyanoacrylate and cyanoacrylates have a limited shelf life. Solvents are added to the mix to help the adhesive solidify quickly. When you open a bottle of nail tip adhesive the solvents are evaporating, and the quality of the adhesive will reduce very quickly. If you don\u2019t use it often, buy smaller bottles of 5ml and that will reduce wastage and frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nail glue has a limited shelf life. The older it gets, the less likely it is to form a sufficient bond to hold the nail tip in place. This affects its \u2018stickiness\u2019, and your nail tip extension will not last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tambi\u00e9n es importante recordar que los adhesivos para u\u00f1as tienen una vida \u00fatil limitada incluso cuando son nuevos. Esta es la raz\u00f3n por la que debe aplicar tips para u\u00f1as s\u00f3lo en el borde libre de la u\u00f1a, 2 mm = 2 semanas de crecimiento para la u\u00f1a natural media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n La estructura de su producto de u\u00f1as artificiales es lo que mantendr\u00e1 su mejora de extensi\u00f3n en su lugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despu\u00e9s de aplicar los tips, no elimine el exceso de polvo con alcohol o limpiador de u\u00f1as, ya que acelerar\u00eda la descomposici\u00f3n del adhesivo y\/o debilitar\u00eda el tip de pl\u00e1stico. Es mejor quitarlo con un cepillo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Si no se prepara correctamente la u\u00f1a natural, siempre se producir\u00e1 un levantamiento de la bolsa que, a su vez, se convertir\u00e1 en el caldo de cultivo perfecto para pat\u00f3genos residentes o transitorios como la pseudomonas aeruginosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aseg\u00farese de que su clienta entiende que con las extensiones de tips de u\u00f1as siempre tendr\u00e1 que llevar guantes cuando realice cualquier tarea que implique otros disolventes y\/o agua. Por eso las extensiones de u\u00f1as no son ideales para clientas que trabajan en bares u otros servicios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n La colocaci\u00f3n de la forma es algo que hay que practicar y perfeccionar. Una vez que lo domines, no volver\u00e1s a utilizar un tip de u\u00f1as.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Forms have wings and lines. These are to ensure a perfect fit. Most brands have their own forms, all a little different in shape but all with the same goal in mind. Perfect form fitting creates a stable enhancement that fits the nail and the nail unit of your client. You can then place the artificial nail or extension with perfect alignment and balance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Los problemas empiezan cuando se parte de una u\u00f1a plana y no se ajusta la forma para que coincida. La forma tiene que asentarse perfectamente en<\/strong> the free edge of the natural nail, and you should create the C-Curve with the nail product. (See Picture E) If you leave a gap (because you are trying to create the C-Curve with your form) and the nail product leaks through the gap, even water from something simple like your client taking a shower will cause the product to lift in a matter of hours. (See picture D) <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you start with a curved nail and the form does not properly fit, the product will not cure as well as it should. Apply the product in thinner layers, and cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With practice you will achieve this \u2013 see picture E<\/p>\n\n\n\n La aplicaci\u00f3n de formas requiere pr\u00e1ctica. Pregunte a su proveedor de la marca acerca de la formaci\u00f3n sobre la perfecci\u00f3n y la colocaci\u00f3n de la forma. Cuando lo haga bien, no tendr\u00e1 problemas de levantamiento del producto en los pliegues de la u\u00f1a ni en el borde libre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Las c\u00e9lulas de la l\u00e1mina ungueal se forman en la matriz y se abren camino a lo largo del eponiquio (donde est\u00e1 adherida la cut\u00edcula). A continuaci\u00f3n, salen por debajo de la PNF, donde las vemos como la l\u00e1mina ungueal normal. (La imagen F muestra esta acci\u00f3n en movimiento)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Esto ocurre 24 horas al d\u00eda, 7 d\u00edas a la semana. Las enfermedades o el embarazo pueden ralentizar o acelerar este movimiento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If our product application is not as secure as it should be, maybe you\u2019re in a hurry, maybe you didn\u2019t bring your glasses to work or maybe the product you are using has a thin viscosity \u2013 the product might then drip into the lateral nail fold and become attached to your skin. (Figure G shows this)<\/p>\n\n\n\n En la MasterClass 1.2 podr\u00e1s refrescar tu memoria sobre este tema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s have a look at pictures F & G<\/p>\n\n\n\n In picture F, you see 2 blue arrows; In picture G, two red arrows. So now imagine that they are in the same place in the lateral nail fold. F is in perpetual motion and G is static, the gel polish is hard and can only move with the nail plate. The gel polish that is in the nail grove will come loose and lift away, creating an opening. Water, oil, lotion, pathogens… Anything and everything can get between your gel polish and the nail plate! Product lifting will happen, and possibly an infection to boot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Se necesita mucha pr\u00e1ctica para colocar el producto perfectamente alrededor del PNF y de los pliegues laterales de las u\u00f1as. Por lo tanto, invierte en ti misma y t\u00f3mate tu tiempo para aprender. Si dominas las l\u00edneas rectas con esmalte de u\u00f1as, te convertir\u00e1s en una experta en l\u00edneas rectas en esmalte de gel. Dominar esto te har\u00e1 m\u00e1s eficiente en el sal\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n El mon\u00f3mero l\u00edquido y el polvo acr\u00edlico combinados forman el sistema perfecto para mejorar las u\u00f1as. Una vez dominado es un producto realmente sorprendente. Tiene desventajas: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you haven\u2019t mastered L&P, product lifting becomes a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n B\u00e1sicamente, una aplicaci\u00f3n desigual de L&P siempre provocar\u00e1 un levantamiento del producto o de la bolsa. Deber\u00e1 limarlo hasta que quede uniforme. Eventualmente, limar a trav\u00e9s del realce es una posibilidad real, y limar a trav\u00e9s de la placa de la u\u00f1a tambi\u00e9n lo es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using an acrylic brush you are not in control of, and a product that is too dry, may leave \u2018doorsteps\u2019 at the PNF. (see the red arrow in picture L) When the form is placed well and you have control of your L&P, you will not need to file excessively at the nail folds and your apex will be so strong the nail will last and last. (see figure K red, yellow and orange arrow)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Si la perla de L&P est\u00e1 demasiado h\u00fameda, el producto que se desliza por los pliegues laterales de la u\u00f1a (como en el ejemplo del esmalte de gel de la figura F) har\u00e1 que el L&P se levante. Debido a que los sistemas L&P se secan al aire en lugar de curarse en una l\u00e1mpara, usted tiene m\u00e1s tiempo para tirar suavemente y mantener la piel en los pliegues de la u\u00f1a durante la colocaci\u00f3n del producto y mantener el control del producto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One more important reason for product lifting with L&P systems is shrinkage. L&P that is too wet will air dry at the wrong speed. When this happens, the excess monomer evaporates, the remaining polymer chains get pulled together, and the product tightens on the natural nail. This will not only cause pocket lifting that will be the perfect place for nasty pathogens, but it can actually be painful and heat will be generated by the chemical reaction caused by the polymers as they dry. Your client will experience this as uncomfortable pressure, maybe even intense heat hours later, and the enhancement will not last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Practice, practice, a little patience, and lots of \u2018bead making\u2019 on practice sheets will ensure that you can create the perfect enhancement that will last longer than any other. A natural nail overlay with L&P will not only look stunning but, when placed well, it will wear as no other, and the rebalance will be done in 30mins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s go back to figure F. Remember the nail plate cells and their movement?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Marian Newman habla en Masterclass One de c\u00f3mo el grosor de la placa ungueal viene determinado por la longitud de la matriz. Las c\u00e9lulas m\u00e1s nuevas de la l\u00e1mina ungueal son m\u00e1s blandas, no est\u00e1n maduras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ahora imagina que tienes una u\u00f1a amargada, con placas de u\u00f1as finas para empezar, que no puede resistir masticar su camino a trav\u00e9s de la placa de la u\u00f1a restante. \u00a1Nada bueno sale de poner un producto duro para esculpir sobre esa base tan d\u00e9bil! La raz\u00f3n por la que no ir\u00e1 bien es porque la base (la placa de la u\u00f1a) tiene capas masticadas incompletas y est\u00e1 siempre en movimiento. El levantamiento de la bolsa ser\u00e1 inevitable, con todo lo desagradable que ello conlleva. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Una placa ungueal d\u00e9bil necesita un producto flexible aplicado finamente (si<\/em> you are going to use a product). I would recommend first recovering the nail biter’s nail plate before considering any product application. But, if you must, maybe for a wedding or a special occasion, use a clear fiber gel (figure J:)<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can create simple small nails with a special effect nail varnish topcoat and your client will love you forever. He or she will have great looking nails with no problems, and you will be able to see through the product spotting any problems with lifting before things get out of hand. Get him or her to come back after the occasion \u2013 check that the nail coating is still intact, and no problems are occurring – if it\u2019s not remove it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aqu\u00ed es importante el entrenamiento, as\u00ed como el mantenimiento de manos y u\u00f1as.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Elevaci\u00f3n del producto<\/strong>en el contexto del cuidado de las u\u00f1as, se refiere a la separaci\u00f3n o desprendimiento de los productos para u\u00f1as, como las mejoras acr\u00edlicas o de gel, de la placa de la u\u00f1a natural. Este problema se produce cuando el producto de u\u00f1as aplicado pierde su adherencia a la u\u00f1a natural, lo que da lugar a huecos entre el producto y la u\u00f1a natural o incluso al desprendimiento completo. El levantamiento del producto puede deberse a diferentes factores, algunos de los cuales podemos provocar nosotros mismos (involuntariamente).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trauma<\/strong> Elevaci\u00f3n de bolsillo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pocket lifting occurs when the nail product separates from the nail plate but not around the edge. If you are wearing a clear product its visible but if you have created something amazing or using dark colors \u2013 you can miss it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If it\u2019s a natural overlay or a long extension \u2013 the result is the same, the nail enhancement is detached from the nail plate in the center \u2013 we can see it on the left nail because the enhancement is clear, on the right nail we only see it because we are rebalancing the enhancement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pellizcos<\/strong> The C-Curve is pinched after product placement of the white to produce the perfect \u2018C\u2019 (This is done after the cover color is cured).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today our products are more controllable and \u2018building\u2019 an apex and producing a C-Curve is easier if your colocaci\u00f3n de formularios<\/em> is well done but here also the rule is \u2018product control is everything\u2019 Done well you can produce gorgeous, long lasting nail extensions in the salon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you put the two side by side you see the difference but more importantly both effects are achieved without any pocket lifting \u2013 Product control, control of your pinching tool and good instructions are so important, you cannot achieve this kind of artificial nail without a good education and hours of training \u2013 but when you have mastered it, there is no looking back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inestabilidad o debilidad de la placa ungueal<\/strong> Sometimes we get a little too enthusiastic when we are told to \u2018remove the shine\u2019 from our nail plate with a file. It\u2019s better to think about replacing the b\u00fafer<\/a> lima con un buen limpiador de la placa de la u\u00f1a. El producto se adherir\u00e1 bien a la u\u00f1a natural y la l\u00e1mina ungueal se mantendr\u00e1 fuerte. Recuerde que la l\u00e1mina ungueal tiene un grosor medio de s\u00f3lo 0,380 mm. No es necesario limar mucho para eliminar no s\u00f3lo su capa superior, sino que limar demasiado influir\u00e1 definitivamente en su estabilidad e invitar\u00e1 a entrar a los pat\u00f3genos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tambi\u00e9n es posible que haya aplicado un recubrimiento de u\u00f1as en una u\u00f1a da\u00f1ada por un mordedor o un recogedor de u\u00f1as, la base es inestable y su recubrimiento de u\u00f1as es vulnerable, es m\u00e1s inteligente resolver primero el problema de la estructura de la placa de la u\u00f1a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are professional products on the market that create an \u2018interpenetrating polymer network, en<\/em> the nail plate. Strengthening the nail plate while maintaining a healthy flexibility is important, however, you should make a plan to completely recover the nail plate before applying any product at all. Care & maintenance with oil & lotion is essential but your client may want an \u2018instant result\u2019 and of course, we understand that, but sometimes taking a little more time to recover the nail unit first is better for you and your client. If you understand why its important to take a little time to recover the nail unit first, you can explain this to your client and he or she will love you for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For \u2018special occasions\u2019 its possible to create gorgeous nails that stay in place for the occasion but that can be easily removed so that nail plate recovery or nail maintenance can continue after the fact \u2013 Using \u2018Full Cover Tips\u2019 or \u2018Press on Show Tips\u2019 could be a temporary option if you place them with care & remove them in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Infecciones<\/strong> We always have pathogens and microbiomes with us, they are a part of our normal daily life, most are essential to our wellbeing but sometimes, circumstances happen that create the perfect surroundings for them to allow their \u2018nasty side\u2019 to develop. Where your product is lifted from the natural nail becomes a cozy place for pseudomonas aeruginosa or WSO (white superficial onicomicosis<\/a>) to develop and cause a riot. The problem is we can\u2019t always see this happening because they are developing underneath our nail coatings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Si nota que algo le ha causado un problema, tal vez sospeche de una infecci\u00f3n, retire el revestimiento, l\u00edmpielo bien, utilice los Protocolos de Primeros Auxilios, obtenga un diagn\u00f3stico y resuelva el problema antes de volver a aplicar el producto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fig D: Pseudomonas Aeruginosa after nail coating removal \u2013 the blue dots & arrows show where the edge of your nail coating was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Fig E: White Superficial Onychomycosis after nail coating removal \u2013 again hidden under the nail coating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both of these infections are caused by our own body\u2019s microbiome because we made it possible for them to develop. Hand & Nail maintenance with oil & lotion should be standard practice when artificial nail coatings or Nail Polish has been applied and we should be able to communicate this to our clients and to understand it ourselves whether we are DIY, students, or nail professionals \u2013 follow the same basic rules & the same hand & nail maintenance plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Excessive sweating or uncontrolled sweating (Palmer Hyperhidrosis) affects you\u2019re the \u2018cushioned\u2019 part of your hands. Sweating occurs uncontrollably. Your hands may feel clammy or wet most of the time, it can happen at any temperature or during any season. The symptoms can increase in times of stress or anxiety. Socially it makes you feel uncomfortable shaking hands with someone, handing out papers at a meeting, or typing on a keyboard. Sweating happens without a trigger, not due to any external factor like exercising or an increase in body temperature. It can run in families, and it can be associated with other forms of hyperhidrosis or with certain medical conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Puede afectar a las placas ungueales porque el exceso de humedad que se forma en el lecho ungueal y alrededor de la u\u00f1a puede hacer que la placa ungueal quede blanda. Si su clienta padece hiperhidrosis, podr\u00eda ser una contraindicaci\u00f3n para la colocaci\u00f3n de esmaltes de u\u00f1as por el riesgo de crear las condiciones perfectas para. S\u00f3lo se recomienda el esmalte de u\u00f1as.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ref: 1.

If you knock the enhancement or nail coating while shopping, or while cleaning (even if you are wearing gloves) then the impact can cause the product to lift, and you won\u2019t always see it from the outside. This pocket of air between the enhancement & the nail plate creates the perfect place for opportunistic pathogens. The problem is that because we have created gorgeous nails we don\u2019t always see on time whats going on underneath \u2013 so a good rule would be, when in doubt, if you know you have knocked your nail remove the product to check if and what damage has been done and repair it as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Pinching\u2019 is something we do in competition to create the perfect C-Curve, it needs to be done well and with care because if we \u2018pinch\u2019 an artificial nail product and the nail product is too hard, product lifting becomes a real possibility. 30 years ago, pinching was the \u2018norm\u2019 and in competition is still a useful tool if you have been trained well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
If you \u2018buff\u2019 the natural nail before applying nail coatings of any sort, then, per definition, you are weakening the nail plate. If you also remove the skin from around the nail plate in the lateral nail folds & proximal nail fold, then you destabilize the entire nail plate. This creates an instability, a bit like building a house on sand instead of a solid foundation. Built on sand, the house will show signs of weakness or collapse, build on proper strong foundations the house will remain standing for as long as the building materials allow. The same is true for the nail plate when it \u2018carries\u2019 a nail coating. When the nail is intact and its surrounding seals are still in place the nail coating will remail attached to the nail plate for as long as the nail coating is made to last, if we remove any or all of the essential parts the nail plate becomes unstable and our nail coating will per definition become instable and weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Las infecciones pueden ocurrirle a cualquiera, en cualquier momento, tanto si eres un t\u00e9cnico de u\u00f1as profesional o aficionado como si te haces tus propias u\u00f1as, y las infecciones en o alrededor de donde se ha levantado el producto son simplemente una consecuencia de que el producto se haya levantado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nPlacas ungueales afectadas por la hiperhidrosis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
