is kind of artificial nails for building. There are several types of false nails, and some of them are not popular because of emergence of more convenient and practical materials any more. The first tipsa have been thought up more than fifty flyings ago, and the dentist Fred Slek became their inventor.
History of tips
There are several versions concerning the history of the first tips. According to one of versions, prototype of false nails is ancient Japanese jewelry for women in the form of metal or silver tips on fingers which reminded nails. Other version connects emergence of tips with the dentist Fred Slek who has thought up the design from sealing material and foil protecting the damaged surface of nail.
The false nails which have appeared in the eighties were succeeded by tipsa several decades ago. The principle of application became their main difference from artificial nails. Tipsa are imposed not on all nail but only on its part.
Structure of tips
The usual false nail represents piece of plastic or plastic material of certain form which fastens on all surface of nail plate. Tipsa consist of two parts. At the basis material thinner, and is closer to edge of plate more dense. Before use of tips the nails are carefully processed, the upper layer of nail plate is cut by means of special nail file. The synthetic template is pasted to the middle of nail, and then becomes covered by special covering – gel, acrylic or other strengthening substances. Glue is applied only on contact zone which can be measured by eye or by means of gleam. This area on plate thinner. Some types of tips are pasted to the basis of nail and do not contain contact zone. The main distinctive feature of modern tips is elasticity. Initially false nails did of plastic and they were quite thick. Tipsa from ABS materials practically do not differ from natural nails. They can be cut off and sawn off if necessary. In attempt to correct plastic nails the artificial plate most often breaks or bursts.
Types of tips
Tipsa it is possible to divide into several categories. On appearance of material of plate are transparent, opaque or white. There is separate kind of tips with already pasted or drawn appliques. In form of tipsa are round, oval and square. The most extravagant version are tipsy-stylets with very pointed tips. For production of tips nylon or ABC-plastic is used. The first category more expensive, but differs in the increased elasticity and the maximum nearness to natural appearance.
