Tekokynsistä

Tekokynsistä refers to artificial or false fingernails. These are cosmetic enhancements applied to the natural nail to alter its appearance, length, or shape. Tekokynsistä can be made from various materials, including acrylic, gel, or plastic. They are typically adhered to the natural nail using a strong adhesive.

The application of tekokynsistä can involve several steps, depending on the type. Acrylic nails are formed by mixing a liquid monomer and a powder polymer, which hardens upon exposure to air. Gel nails are made from a gel-like substance that is cured under an ultraviolet or LED lamp. Plastic tips can be glued to the natural nail and then covered with acrylic or gel.

Tekokynsistä are popular for various reasons, including concealing damaged or weak natural nails, achieving a desired aesthetic, or providing a durable and long-lasting manicure. They can be decorated with nail polish, art, or other embellishments.

The removal of tekokynsistä requires specific techniques to avoid damaging the natural nail. Soaking in acetone-based removers is a common method for acrylics, while gels may require filing or soaking. Professional application and removal are often recommended to ensure the health of the natural nail.
