How is the procedure performed? *After the nails
are given a basic manicure, which involves cleaning the nail,
removing the cuticle and any dead skin around the edge of the
nail. *The nails can then be given a base coat (usually a
strong white) to enhance a coloured design. Or if the client
wishes to have a natural look in the back ground of the design,
then no base coat is required. *Then the activation coat
is applied - this ensures that the design dries quickly.
*The client chooses their design either from preset
designs or from thier own picture - which can be scanned into
the computer. *After placing the hand into the machine
the design can then be printed. How long does it take?
The printing itself takes approximately 10 seconds per nail, and
depends on the design - sometimes even quicker. The whole
process including nail preperation and drying of coats in
between can take 15 minutes. How long do the designs
last? They last as long as a normal nail varnish treatment.
With the application of two thin coats of clear nail varnish -
paying special attention to the tips, then if you are carefull
with your nails, the designs can last up two weeks or longer.
Are the inks and varnishes dangerous? All the inks and
varnishes have been tested to comply with all safety standards
and are perfectly safe. Are your hands safe in the
machine? Your hands are placed insde a special cradle which
holds the nails at a safe distance from the printer head. The
Printer actually sprays the design onto your nails, so you don't
feel a thing. If by any chance, you happened to move your
fingers whilst in the machine, the sensitivity of the safety cut
out will stop the printing immediately. Can it print a French
Manicure? Certainly can, just use the white base coat and
the machine can print the french manicure with more flair and
design than you could ever do with air brushing. Can it print
toe nails? Yes, fashion now goes a step further, and the
world of design and art is now available for your toes. Where
can I get digital nail art? At any reputable nail salon, if
there isn't a machine in a salon near you, then tell them to get
a machine so that you can try it out. To make the most out of
this technology, the professional nail technician would have to
be experienced with general manicures and pedicures. These are
the basics to any nail care business, but also a knowledge of
computers and how they work is advisable. The software is easy
to use, but the process needs a bit of practice in order to
become proficient. With expert guidance and advice from a
reputable company, then using this new technology will enhance
your business and bring colourfull designs into the lives of
many clients nails. Get more information from
