About capsules nail

Types of capsule nails

There are different types of capsules nails to choose from. Their considerable differences are the size and shape of the nail. Here are the different types of nail extensions:

  • Stiletto:

    They are named after the stilettos because they are pointy and sharp. These nails can make an outfit look more elegant and fierce. They elongate the fingers and are used for fashion purposes rather than everyday use. If they are too long, they can break easily and cause discomfort.

  • Coffin:

    The coffin nail is similar to the shape of a coffin. They are tapered and look like stiletto nails, but their tips are not pointed; instead, they are flat. When the nails are long, they look similar to the shape of a coffin, hence the name. They provide a dramatic yet classy look and are more durable than stiletto nails.

  • Almond:

    Almond-shaped nails are similar to the stiletto shape but not as pointy. They are more subtle and have a slight tapering to the sides. They elongate the fingers and give a soft, elegant look. They can be used for everyday tasks and fashion purposes. They are not as fragile as stiletto nails.

  • Square:

    Square-shaped nails have a straight free edge and side with a slight curve at the cuticle. They provide a more natural look and are suitable for those who prefer a classic, timeless style. They are more durable than coffin and stiletto nails.

  • Rounded:

    Rounded nails are similar to square nails but with a more obvious curve. They look more natural than other nail shapes and are preferred by people who like a subtle, classic appearance. They are gentle on the fingertips and won't snag on things like other nail shapes. They are less likely to break or chip during everyday activities.

  • Squoval:

    Squoval nails are a combination of square and oval shapes. They have a square shape with slightly rounded edges. They offer the strength of a square shape and the softness of an oval shape. They are versatile and can be worn for everyday tasks or special occasions. They are less likely to break or chip during everyday activities.

How to choose capsules nails

  • Length: Depending on the kind of look one is after, they should select the length that best suits their preferences. The nail's length can enhance or tone down its appearance. Hence, one must choose wisely to ensure that their overall look is as desired.
  • Shape: Nail shape is an essential factor when choosing fake nails. Different shapes can create different looks, and each shape may flatter different finger and hand features. Common shapes include square, oval, almond, stiletto, and coffin. The square shape is more classic and works well with many looks, while the oval shape is softer and more feminine. The almond shape is similar to the oval but pointed at the tips, making it more dramatic. The stiletto shape is very pointed and bold, perfect for a dramatic look. The coffin shape is similar to the stiletto but with a flattened tip, making it more subtle.
  • Color: When choosing what color to wear, consider the occasion, outfit, and skin tone. Lighter colors, like pastels or pinks, may be more suitable for everyday wear, while darker or bolder colors can add a pop of color for a night out or special occasion.
  • Material: Consider the material of the product, as it can affect the look, durability, and feel of the finished nails. Some common materials used for artificial nails include acrylic, gel, and fiberglass. Acrylic nails are made from a liquid and powder mixture and are known for their strength and durability. They are available in various colors and designs but can sometimes feel heavy or thick on the natural nails. Gel nails are made from a special light-curing gel and have a more natural, lightweight feel than acrylics. They are often more flexible and can be easily shaped to fit the natural nail but may require a UV or LED light to cure the gel.

How to use, install & product safety

How to use

  • Prepare the Nails: Remove old nail polish and clean the nails with nail polish remover. Push back the cuticles gently with a cuticle pusher. Buff the nail surface with a nail file to create a smooth base for the polish to adhere to. Shape the nails into the desired shape; oval, square, or almond. This step lets natural nails dry and be prepared for color application.
  • Apply a Base Coat: Apply a thin layer of base coat nail polish to each nail. This helps protect natural nails from discoloration and creates a smooth base for the colored polish. Let it dry completely before moving on to the next step.
  • Apply the First Coat of Color: Choose a colored nail polish and apply a thin, even coat to each nail. Start from the cuticle and work toward the tip, sealing the nail's edge by brushing the polish over the tip of the nail. Let this coat dry completely before applying the next one.
  • Apply the Second Coat of Color: Apply a second coat of the same colored polish, similar to the first. This step ensures the color is opaque and vibrant. Let it dry completely.
  • Apply a Top Coat: After the colored polish has dried, apply a generous layer of top coat to each nail. This adds shine, helps seal the color, and increases the manicure's longevity. It also prevents the polish from chipping and drying out. Let the top coat dry completely.
  • Cleanup: Dip a small brush or cotton swab in nail polish remover and clean up any excess polish around the cuticles and sides of the nails for a neat finish. This step makes the manicure look professional and tidy.
  • Moisturize: Apply cuticle oil to each nail and a hand cream to hydrate and nourish the cuticles and hands. Massage the oil and cream into the skin for a few minutes until fully absorbed.

Product Safety

  • Base Layer: A base layer is applied before colored polish to protect the nail from staining and ensure better adhesion. It acts as a barrier and creates an even surface.
  • Top Layer: A top layer is applied after the colored polish to seal the manicure, add shine, and prevent chipping. It also protects the nails from environmental damage.
  • Nontoxic Formulas: Look for nail polishes free from harmful chemicals like formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, and camphor. These toxic ingredients can adversely affect health and well-being.
  • Hypoallergenic Options: Choose hypoallergenic nail polishes, especially for sensitive or allergy-prone individuals. Such formulations reduce the risk of allergic reactions and are gentle on the nails.
  • Dermatologist-Tested: Use nail polishes tested by dermatologists for safety and suitability for use on the nails. These products are scientifically evaluated to meet stringent safety standards.
  • Proper Ventilation: Always use nail polish in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes. Good airflow helps dissipate harmful chemicals and keeps the environment safe while applying the polish.
  • Patch Test: Conduct a patch test by applying a small amount of polish on one nail and observing for any adverse reactions before full application. This helps ensure compatibility with the individual's nails and skin.
