After gel polish nails hurt: what is the reason and how to avoid this unpleasant pain

click fraud protection

I think each of us is faced with the pain of the nails after gel varnish. In the first days after coating the nails a little sore, but the pain is felt especially strongly after removing the cover or correction.

Cause of pain - not in the nail plate (is generally derived epidermal horny (dead) layer of cells, it can not match), and that under it. Under the nail plate, we pass the nerves and blood vessels, because of them we just feel the pain.

Several causes of pain, and now we'll look at each of them.

The reason №1. Remove the gel varnish mill, and acetone, foil and pusher

Removal of acetone and the foil covering the masses generated myth that nails deteriorate after long wearing gel varnish. After the cotton wool soaked in acetone was placed on the nail and wrapped in foil for 10 minutes, acetone starts to work: it corrodes everything under it - from the cover to the skin around the nail and cuticle.

Our nail plate is composed of layers of keratin, as well as water and fat layers between them. Acetone, eroding paint, and comes to the nail, dries it and without water nails become dry, thin and brittle.

In this horror does not end there. After you have removed the foil and removed the cotton wool, the master starts pusher.

They remove the softened coating and it hurts. Given the fact that each of us is a different pain threshold, for someone scraping gel nail pusher living hell. Pusher together with the coating also removes the top layer of the nail plate. and every such removal of the nail plate will become worse and thinner, and pain - stronger. Someone after the update coverage then can not even touch their nails.

To avoid this - shoot gel varnish should cutter. No acetone, foil and pusher - it is the last century.

Normal skilled master and remove the old coating carbide bur: basically reverse (reverse course) removed most of the coverage, and direct the course of working in sensitive areas to avoid cuts. Then nail saw round, make the shape of the free edge. Further - purified from pterygium nail (patch of skin at the base of the nail plate, which increases the nail) and lift cuticles conical cutter with red notch. clean side bolsters neatly cut the cuticle, the nail grind another cutter, degreased, a primer is applied and leveled base.

The entire process of the device does not make sense, because it is for the masters. Neither the man in the street, or are new to the manicure is not a repeat. This technique is specially trained and who will master it - those customers are not aware of problems such as the rapid growth of the cuticle.

I want to note here is that even if you're home will currently cover shoot cutter, from the nail plate you do not remove as many layers as pusher at softening gel varnish. Propylene mill his nails to the quick - it's not enough that you need to try very hard, so still be completely inadequate. But the cuts - the typical mistakes of inexperienced.

Reason №2. Thin nails from nature

Well, it just so happened that someone nail plate is thin at birth. Just blood vessels are closer to the surface.

There are only two options to solve the problems:

1) look for the master, who has worked with such nails, and he knows that we have to work with them most carefully and leisurely;

2) to study the anatomy of the nail and understand what you are missing micronutrients: may need calcium, but can - zinc or selenium. People who frequently and for a long time in contact with water with time are thick and soft nail plates. This is because there is between the layers of keratin layer of water, nails well absorb water and thus the thickness increases. Help in thickness and oil, but not everyone likes to use oils.

Reason №3. basecoat

Now let's talk about the pain that everyone experiences from drying gel polish in the lamp. In the best case, it will be a tolerable burning nail. In the worst - real burns.

Burning occurs due to the base (and not because of the gel varnish, as many think, but do not come into contact with the fingernail, as applied to the base). The reason is simple: to some substance from one state to another and moved to change their molecular structure - a lot of energy is released. And the energy - it is warm. Gelevoobraznogo base of the solid state switches, a decent amount of heat is released, hence the burning.

The coating becomes hard due to contact with the UV photoinitiators. The more photoinitiators in the composition, the coating hardens faster. However! The more photoinitiators, the more energy will be released upon contact with ultraviolet light, i.e., get sickly burn.

Avoid burning during drying gel polish will not work. But in order to reduce pain, simply apply a thin layer at the base of the nails, use powerful lamps (more powerful lamp, the faster everything will dry up and all hell will be faster with burning).

Reason №4. primer

Not every base will take a nail plate, especially wet. Adhesion to the nail increase the primer. That's just the primers are of two types: acid-free (with ethyl acetate in the composition) and acid. Acid-free primer dries nails and acid - dry. Use acidic primer coating gel lacquer is harmful, it is overdried nails and make them rough, thin and very sensitive (a pain sensation on a foil resting acetone).

The acid primer is only needed for nail, they perpetuate modeling gel. Over there, on purpose, even if it is used.
