There are generally three main ways to create nail extensions.
Here's a breakdown of the methods:
-
Sculpting on Forms: This technique involves using a sticker-like form that fits under the natural nail. Extension material (acrylic or gel) is then applied onto the form and sculpted to the desired shape and length. Once the material hardens, the form is removed.
-
Using Tips: Nail tips are pre-shaped plastic extensions that are glued onto the natural nail. They are then blended and shaped to create a seamless transition. Acrylic or gel is applied over the entire nail and tip to add strength and durability.
-
Dual Forms: This method uses reusable forms. The acrylic or gel is applied inside the dual form, and then the form is pressed onto the natural nail. After the product cures, the form is removed, leaving the nail extension in place.
Therefore, the answer is three.
