nail
No matter how professional the master who applied the gel polish to the nails, the client very soon has to visit him again. There can be several reasons for this, we will highlight the most important:
- The nail has grown. Ideally, gel nails are corrected every 3-4 weeks. Of course, the procedure can be postponed for a long time, because the drawing is beautiful or there is no time. But to be honest, every day these pens are becoming less beautiful. One can see an untreated nail plate, which at first the girls can try to cover up by applying ordinary varnish. In addition, the longer the nail, the more likely it is to become a victim of chips or cracks.
- Physical pressure or blows. Gradually, girls get used to the new state of their nails and stop being careful with them. Sometimes it happens that the hand touches a hard object or even worse - the client can pinch her finger in the door. In any of these cases, the appearance of the nails deteriorates and gel nails need to be corrected.
- Cracks. Improper quality of the applied gel polish or its incorrect application sometimes leads to the appearance of small or large cracks. You can also correct the situation with a correction, which becomes more complicated only if your own nail is also cracked.
- The coating peels off. The reasons may be the same as for the appearance of cracks, but if this is not the first time, it is worth sorting out the problem. Peeling appears in the form of lifting the coating on the sides and can reach one or one and a half millimeters.
Sometimes the problem of flaking occurs after processing the nails with a worn nail file, which does not fulfill its function in a full way.
Types of correction
Based on the reasons considered, forcing the fair sex to visit the manicurist again and again, there are 3 main types of gel nail correction:
- mini-correction - most often it has to be done in the first week after applying the gel coating. The reason for this may be small cracks, chips or scratches that need to be removed and gel polish applied again in their place;
- simple or medium - this can be the usual planned correction of gel nails, consisting in filing and varnishing the overgrown part of the nail plate;
- complex or large - such a correction is possible at any time, the cause may be serious damage to the coating (chips, large cracks, peeling, as well as breakage of the nail).
The latter type also includes gel nail correction, a more detailed description of the technique for performing which is below.
Procedure
Let's move on to step by step instructions on how to do gel nails at home.
Preparation of the necessary materials
Any master who is going to make a correction should have special tools available:
- an antiseptic, necessary for disinfecting the skin around the nails and eliminating possible problems with the fungus;
- the gel polish itself;
- primer, which is designed for a better effect of gluing the nail plate and gel;
- top coat, applied at the end of the procedure and makes the nails shiny;
- a product that removes the sticky layer after drying the nail in a UV lamp.
In addition to those already listed, it is also worth noting decorative elements - rhinestones, glitter, ribbons and more. They are not mandatory in the correction process, but may be needed when the pattern on the nails wants to be changed.
Equipment preparation
The most important equipment during the correction of gel nails is an ultraviolet lamp. It is used for polymerization of gel polish, i.e. accelerate its hardening. In addition to the lamp, the manicure master will definitely need nail files, with which he will grind the nail plate and shape it.
If hardware correction of gel nails is carried out, you will need a special milling cutter. Depending on the expected result, various nozzles are used for it, more details about which can be found in the table.
| Type of nozzles | Main purpose |
| Cylindrical with rounding | Works on the principle of a nail file for sawing off the upper part of the plate and polishing it (the rounded part is necessary for delicate processing of the area in the cuticle area) |
| Cylindrical without rounding | It is used when processing the plate from the upper and lower sides, as well as to reduce the length of the nail |
| conical | They are perfect at the junction of gel polish and overgrown nails, as well as during the treatment of exfoliated areas. It is more acceptable when treating the inside of the nail |
Nail preparation
Correction of gel nails begins with the preparation of the corrected surface:
- to begin with, hands are treated with an antiseptic;
- then the cuticle is pushed back to file the overgrown part with a nail file for natural nails;
- then you need a nail file for extended nails, which processes the gel coating. In this case, the border between the real and artificial parts of the nail is made as less noticeable as possible, and the existing detachments are removed;
- The last step in this step is to form the free edge of the nail.
Gel polish coating
After the fingers have been properly prepared, the master removes all the dust from them after cutting. A hard brush is used in this process. Now, to start applying the gel coat, the specialist degreases the surface and applies a primer to the regrown part. As soon as it dries, the gel is applied, and the hand is sent under the light of a UV lamp for half a minute. At the end of the time, it is not necessary to remove the sticky layer, and the nails are covered with a modeling gel. Before this, if necessary, a design is made. Next, the pens are again placed in the lamp, already for 3 minutes.
The modeling gel can be applied one more time, the free edge of the nail is sealed and again in the lamp. This time, the time is also 3 minutes.
Nail treatment
After repolymerization, it is necessary to remove the sticky layer, for which lint-free wipes are excellent. The next step is to give the nail its final shape, and all the dust is again removed with a brush. At this stage, you also need to disinfect, after which you can use the finishing gel to fix the result. After that, polymerization is also necessary - 1 minute.
If the gel polish still gets on the skin of the finger, an orange stick will come to the rescue, which will help to gently get rid of it. At the end of the gel nail correction procedure, the master again removes the sticky layer and be sure to apply moisturizing oil to the cuticle, which is gently rubbed into the skin.
Video
The video shows how to make a gel nail correction yourself. This procedure can be carried out at home if the nails are normal.
How to make a correction of gel nails if a French design is applied to them? This can be done both manually and by hardware. In any case, this procedure is the most time-consuming and, as a result, the most expensive. This is due to the need to keep a smile, especially if a natural nail is visible under the gel.
French gel nail correction is done in the following order:
- A disinfectant is used.
- All defective areas of the gel coating are removed, after which dust is removed with a brush.
- Nails are degreased and covered with a primer.
- With the help of a transparent modeling gel, the edge of the nail is lifted, which must then be dried in a UV lamp and the sticky layer removed.
- Camouflage gel forms the area of the nails, which polymerize again (2 minutes).
- Stress zones are crimped, fixed with a clothespin, and the handles are again sent to dry (1 minute).
- After the sticky layer is removed, the edges and surface of the nails are processed with a nail file. Again, the dust is removed with a brush.
- This step is the most important - a smile is formed with a white gel, after which polymerization is necessary for 4 minutes.
- Now the final shape is given to the nails, after which unnecessary dust is removed, and the surface is degreased and again covered with a primer.
- A fixing agent is applied (from the outside and inside) and a two-minute polymerization is carried out.
Nail care after correction
At least the first time after the correction, the nails require careful treatment. Therefore, girls are advised, if possible, not to use their nails for opening, scratching or knocking. Any household activity related to water and various means is only possible if gloves are used. After all the affairs are redone, and the gloves are removed, it is advisable to moisten your hands with your favorite cream.

Features of extended nails
Artificial turf requires special care:
- Over time, air penetrates between the nail and the coating, so detachment occurs, and the beauty of the manicure is lost.
- An indent appears between the cuticle and the extended material, which spoils the overall look.
- Without proper care, not only the aesthetic appearance is lost, but also the natural nail cover deteriorates. To do this, you need to know how to properly adjust the manicure.
It is not necessary to take paid expensive lessons, the main thing is to follow simple instructions.
Type of nail correction
Manicurists note that the complexity of manicure processing does not depend on whether it is acrylic or gel. The role is played by the general appearance of the nail and its shape.
There are several types:
- With small damages, small chips, detachments - a small correction.
- Medium correction is needed for bigger problems. It is done after 4 weeks to hide the regrown natural nail.
- A large correction is done when changing the shape, when the nails break, peeling. Below is a step-by-step guide to nail trimming.
Acrylic nails: how to adjust
Correction of extended nails at home is possible, although the master will do it better and faster.
Important! Do not use before building and correcting baths and do not apply a cream with a greasy base, as there is a high risk of nail detachment.
- Be sure to treat your hands with antiseptics. If the procedure is done in the salon, then the master must also process his hands.
- Remove nail polish residue. Gently push back the cuticle.
- The photo shows that the pockets (minor delaminations) are sawn out with a milling cutter, then the material is washed down with a nail file.
- At this stage, you will need a polishing buff that will remove the shine, and with the help of a nail file (180 grit), a natural nail is filed between the cuticle and the extended material. Then you need to remove all the dust.
- A composition is applied that degreases the surface. It will take a few minutes to dry, and the nails are ready for further work.
- A sufficient amount of acrylic powder is placed in a separate bowl, rolled up and applied gently to the regrown nail area. The cuticle remains untouched, otherwise the manicure will peel off. Acrylic is applied to the surface and smoothed from the cuticle to the extended nail until the entire space is filled.
- After application, the excess material is removed with a nail file, the desired shape is given.
- Buff removes all defects, polishes the extended nail.
Now you can do nail design. The whole procedure lasts no more than an hour if done in the salon, but at home it will take more time.
You can learn how to independently tidy up your nails step by step at home, both from online lessons and courses.
Gel nail correction
Correction of extended gel nails is a little different. It is better to make baths with salt for hands on the eve of the procedure, to perform all cleansing and strengthening manipulations. Before starting, treat your hands with an anseptic, remove the old coating.
- Gently push the cuticle back with a wooden stick. Use only an orange stick, as shown in the photo.
- File all exfoliated parts with a nail file (120 grit), treat the natural nail area between the cuticle and the extended coating with a 180 grit nail file. A manicure made of artificial material needs proper processing, since the wrong one leads to thinning of the living nail cover.
- Before applying the gel, clean the entire surface of dust particles, degrease it, and apply a primer to the natural nail plate, which is mandatory for correction. The composition well degreases and dries the natural nail, due to which the attachment of the gel becomes more reliable.
- After the primer, apply the correction gel to the natural nail, then dry the composition in a UV lamp, which makes the gel hard. Apply a layer of material already on the entire extended material. Dry 3 minutes. After that, you can proceed to the full adjustment.
- At this stage, a design is made and a special oil is applied to the cuticles. In many salons, lessons are given for the correction of extended nails. You can learn and understand the essence of manicure adjustment by watching a video with a master class.
Correction of nails on tips
During the procedure, the question arises: remove the base glued layer or leave it? It all depends on the condition of the nail. Sometimes with strong regrowth it is better to grow the nail again, but if the regrowth is small, then an adjustment is made.
Correction on tips is no different from the usual one. The master looks at the general condition of the nail. If there is no strong detachment, then reconstruction is possible; if the damage is severe, then it is easier to remove the completely old layer, because the treatment on tips is more traumatic for a living nail. Grinding and sawing deprives the tips of strength.
Correction occurs quickly, it is enough to remove a little free edge from the extended material with wire cutters. Before using them as a substrate, you need to shorten the length in advance. The layer of glue between the natural nail and the substrate is not very strong. For good contact, follow the extension technology. Before work, apply a degreasing agent to the nails - this will eliminate the need to firmly press the tips to the surface of the nail.
When the tips are glued, they must be cut to the desired length, processed a little with a file. Remove dust from the surface, cover the nail with a modeling compound. Treat with a buff from bumps, and then proceed to apply gel or acrylic. Making a correction on tips is much easier than it seems. In general, it is not very difficult to perform the correction of extended nails at home, but it is still better to trust the professionals.

Features of gel nails correction:
The skin of the hands must be disinfected, and natural nail strip on which it is planned to apply the gel - degrease.
With a spatula, gently push back the cuticle, cut off 50% of the outdated gel with a coarse nail file.

Special nippers will help to correct the length of the tips, and it is easy to achieve the desired shape with a nail file. After gel correction, the nails will look great, will not break or peel off.
Features of acrylic nails correction:
The nail is filed, on the line between the natural nail plate and the additional material - especially carefully.
Next, degrease the nail and cover with a consistency for connection so that the liquids do not end up on the mucous membrane or cuticle. We spread acrylic on the nail plate, creating an identical natural shape.
Then we give time to freeze the masterpiece (about 4 minutes). Then we file and polish the surface of acrylic nails to shine. We repeat the whole procedure for each nail.

VIDEO MATERIALS:Do you want to know how the correction of extended nails is performed, and how often should this procedure be carried out? Then in our article you will find all the necessary information. You will find out which problems with artificial nails are subject to a correction procedure, and which are corrected only by a complete replacement of an artificial nail.
If you have artificial nails, then the systematic correction of extended nails will help maintain the beauty and well-groomed manicure. In this case, the correction must be carried out with a certain frequency.
The frequency of the correction procedure
It doesn't matter what material your nails are made of, your own nails will inevitably grow back and the manicure needs to be corrected. This procedure will help maintain the correct shape and length of the nail plates. Correction of nail extension is needed in order to:
- renew the artificial coating of the nail plates;
- replenish the surface of the modeling material;
- restore the tightness of the coating;
- give your nails a beautiful and well-groomed look.
The correction procedure will avoid deformation of artificial nail plates, repair small breaks and cracks on acrylic nails. At the same time, the procedure for correcting the length and shape of the nail plate is considered the most time-consuming. Only professional craftsmen in the salon can perform this procedure correctly and well.
Correction of extended nails should be performed with a certain frequency, which depends on the growth rate of your nail plates. Usually, the correction should be carried out every 2-3 weeks. If your nails grow very slowly, then less often.
How is the correction procedure carried out?
The method of correction depends on what material was used for the extension. Correction of gel nail extension is performed as follows:
- Usually, before performing the procedure, the hands of the master and the client are thoroughly disinfected. To gel the regrown part of the nail, it must be treated in the same way as the entire nail before the extension. For this, the cuticle is processed and pushed back. The surface of the nail is polished, degreased and covered with a primer. Only after that, the gel is applied to the regrown part. At the same time, it is important that the junction of the old and new gel is invisible. For this, the nail plate is given a slightly convex shape.
- Correction of extended nails with gel involves filling all the voids formed during the wearing of a manicure between a natural nail and a synthetic coating. If such voids are found, then the coating is sawn off, and a new gel is laid in the resulting space. If voids are not repaired, an infection can develop there, causing damage to your nail. Any cracks from delamination are repaired in the same way.
- If a crack has formed on the natural nail plate, then the gel coating in this place is cut off. The nail is disinfected, dried and re-gelled.
- If you want to change the color of gel nails or the pattern on the aquarium manicure, then you can do this only by completely sawing off the old manicure and completing a new one.
Nail extension and correction in Moscow, as in any other city, should be performed by one master. This will allow you to complete the procedure quickly and without unnecessary questions, because the master will already know which form you prefer.
Varieties of nail correction
Having visited any beauty salon, you may notice that the prices for correction after nail extensions are slightly different. This is due to the fact that the correction procedure is divided into three types:
- Little correction. This procedure is performed for minor damage to artificial nail plates. Such problems include small nail chips, cracks, scratches and small detachments.
- Average correction procedure. This service is intended for those who wear extended manicure for a very long time. The frequency of this correction is once a month. Usually, in a month, our nail grows by about 7-8 mm. To hide the regrown part under the gel layer, this correction is performed. As a rule, such a correction of extended nails in Moscow has a higher cost than the previous procedure.
- A major correction is performed in case of serious damage to the artificial nail plates: peeling of the nail, displacement of the coating, change in shape and serious breakage. In fact, such a correction implies a new modeling of the nail.
You can find out how much nail extension and correction cost by calling the salon. But knowing what problems you have with extended nails, you yourself can guess what kind of correction you will need and draw conclusions about its cost.
Usually, any kind of correction is performed on artificial nail plates, without affecting natural nails. To give you an idea of the cost of such a correction, divide the cost of your extension procedure by two - this will be the approximate cost of the correction.
