Chapter 9 of Milady Nail Technology focuses on understanding nail tips and forms, including their types, application methods, structure, and techniques for proper enhancement and nail extension.
Overview of Nail Tips
Nail tips are pre-molded extensions made typically from ABS plastic or other tough polymers
They are used to extend the natural nail and can vary in shape, size, and coverage. Key aspects include:
Tip Shapes: Common shapes include square, squoval (rounded square), oval, almond, and stiletto
Each shape influences both aesthetics and strength.
Tip Coverage: Tips can cover the free edge only or extend up to the cuticle for full coverage depending on the enhancement style
Tip Well: Most tips have a shallow depression called a well, which helps the tip adhere to the natural nail and determines placement accuracy
Attachment: Tips are secured using a nail adhesive or resin, then blended with the natural nail for a seamless overlay
Overview of Nail Forms
Nail forms are flexible guides placed under the free edge of the natural nail to mold and extend enhancements using acrylic, gel, or other nail enhancement products
They can be disposable (paper or mylar-based) or reusable (aluminum or pre-shaped plastic forms)
Key points:
Purpose: Forms act as a scaffold to shape and support extensions beyond the fingertip.
Types: Include full-coverage forms for creating longer nails or specific designs, and short-coverage forms for minor extensions.
Material and Features: Often made of thin polyester film or coated adhesive-backed paper, designed to be sanitary and form-fitting while allowing product application
Preparation and Application
Proper preparation is essential to ensure adhesion and longevity of tips and nail extensions:
Nail Prep: Clean and dehydrate the natural nail using nail dehydrators and cleansers to remove moisture, oil, and debris
Fitting Tips: Tips should be selected to match nail width and trimmed or filed for comfort and aesthetics. Avoid placing pressure on the natural nail during placement
Application of Enhancements: After securing the tip or form, an overlay product such as acrylic, gel, or UV/LED materials provides strength, structure, and durability
Underside and Stress Area: Care is taken to maintain a proper free-edge curvature and stress area for strength and wear comfort
Key Considerations
A thorough understanding of tip types, forms, and nail anatomy ensures proper application and client satisfaction
Nail enhancements should be thin enough for comfort yet strong enough for wear, preventing lifting or breakage
Different tip and form techniques allow customized extensions for various nail shapes, client preferences, and design aesthetics
In summary, Chapter 9 provides foundational knowledge for creating extended nails using tips and forms, emphasizing proper selection, placement, shaping, and overlay application to achieve both beauty and strength in nail enhancements.
