[美甲教學] 閃粉應用進階版

大家都會在網上看很多美甲圖片,閃粉配單色是一個簡單又靚又可在家做的款式,但你們有沒有覺得自己塗出來的閃粉沒有圖片上美呢?

其實我每次做閃粉都會有一個小橋妙,就是會使用兩枝閃粉。為什麼有這個做法呢?因為只使用一枝閃粉,塗一層時稀疏,不夠閃,塗兩層時又太實不夠立體。

示範:

希望這個小技巧有幫助到愛diy的你們,有時候多試試,更可以令你地開拓屬於你們的手法呢!

[唔怕一地都係] 3D Nail Art 小神器

對於喜歡 3D nail art 嘅朋友,無論是美甲師或DIY的你,每次使用閃粉或甲藝小玩意時,都會小心翼翼,就連呼吸也會停一停,盡量不要把小玩意弄到整枱、地下都有。 今次這個發明太聰明,用法跟圖上step一樣,把 nail art 小玩意倒落第一個剷中,然後隨意放上手指上,重點是手指只需放在盒上,多出的產品就會跌入盒中,待甲面nail art固定後,再從盒中抽出另一個剷,把餘下的小玩意再倒入原先產品包裝內,這樣就不會白白浪費了。

How to manage Separating or Cracking Nails?

Our last post described the causes of separating both fake and real nails. This time, we are going to talk about a case of a separating natural nail.

This lady has naturally thin and curling nails.  She should have periodically gone for professional care. Instead she chose to remove the gel with a file by herself . Since she was inexperience, she ended up over filing and further thin down her natural nails. Her improper handling eventually resulted in seriously separating nails.

Recommendation: after the gel is removed, Apply extra thick moisturizers and  cuticle oil to nourish the nail matrix. You want to ensure a healthy growth.

After the nail technicians have examined the injured nails, she suggested to use acrylic powder to improve the look. First the lifted portion will be cut away. Acrylic powder will be applied to cover over the remaining nail pate and The exposed nail bed. This, along with frequent nail care, can keep the Nail stay intact whengrowing out, at the same time being protected while looking smooth and normal on the outside.

This is a very simple method and it instantly corrects The look of the nail. I hope it can help!

[離甲斷甲處理] 怎樣應付指甲分離呢?

上一篇輕輕講解了真甲及假甲形成指甲分離的情況,以下是一個真甲離甲的例子個案。

她天生甲型向上撬生長,指甲質地較薄,需要定期處理,而她自行在家中用了甲銼清除所有Gel,加上經驗不足用甲銼時過度打磨令指甲薄上加薄,卸甲不適當,所以引致指甲分離情況更嚴重。

建議:拆Gel甲後加倍塗上手霜及果皮油,滋潤好甲母基令指甲能健康地生長;

美甲師檢查後,建議再加水晶粉物料作矯型之用。首先會把指甲白白分離的部分剪掉,留下跟甲身黏住的真甲部分,使用水晶粉覆蓋整個指甲及指甲尖,好處是能把甲尖向上撬和甲身凹陷的部份立即矯型,使指甲看起來甲面平衡一點,過度打磨指甲表面的位置亦可得到保護,只需重複處理,真甲就能夠緊貼甲身生長。

這個做法既簡單方便亦可立即矯正指甲表面,希望幫到有需要美甲矯正和處理離甲的朋友們。
