The history of creating artificial nails is very ancient. Not all women could boast of the long, durable and beautiful fingernails - though it was very important. Therefore some of them tried to find ways to use artificial nails. With the development of new technologies, in the twentieth-century, the fashion industry offered a new generation of artificial nails created on the basis of the sculpturing process. In the 1950-60's, this procedure was quite expensive. Only celebrities and movie stars could afford to apply artificial nails made from film, plastic, and even natural implants. But the durability properties were poor and new technologies were looked for. Later, an unknown dentist from Philadelphia, who injured the nail bed in the process of work, offered to substitute his missing nail with a new artificial nail made from a dental product - acryl. This material resembled a dental filling, hardened and looked like a real nail. But acryl nails were not flexible and fine. Thus the new technology appeared that used gel materials and was called bio-sculpturing. Bio-sculpture gel nails are durable enough and cannot be easily distinguished from natural nails.
Bio sculpture gel is a special material that is used for complex treatment and makes nails stronger and more durable. Moreover, this gel stimulates the growth of the natural nails and is absolutely harmless for nails. This is the main advantage of bio-sculpture nails. Gel is a special liquid without any smell that coats the nail plate and is hardened under ultra-violet light. Gel should be applied on the natural nails for treating effect, as on the artificial tips that makes the nail longer. Sometimes it is very hard to grow hard and healthy nails. The gel coat protects your nails. Bio-sculpture nails are not chipped or brittle, the gel material does not peel if it is applied correctly. The technology allows you to use special color polishes along with the gel application. The polish is usually applied manually on the nail surface that is coated with gel. After painting it, the nail can be covered by one more layer of gel. So, polished bio-sculpture nails will keep their color for a longer period, and the color will not chip or flake. The gel can be removed easily with the help of a soak-off procedure and will not do any harm to the natural nail plates.
Bio-sculpture nails require special treatment. Firstly, if you decide to wear artificial nails it is important to get accustomed to them. They are durable enough, but nevertheless they need a special care and protection from breaking and cracking. If the nails are long, there is a risk of injuring the natural nail bed, and that is very painful. Bio-sculpture nails covered with a layer of polish should be cleaned by special acetone-free nail polish removers, because acetone spoils the gel coat.
Today the bio-sculpture nails cost is more affordable than before. Almost every cosmetic salon can offer the service of gel bio-sculpturing among the other services of nail care. The professionals from the salons also will give advice on how to take care of, what cosmetic products can be used, and more useful information.
