Description

  The present invention relates to a gel nail treatment method.

  Conventionally, in order to remove gel nails in a nail salon etc., a gel dissolving agent is impregnated into cotton cut to the size of the nail and placed on the nail, and the gel is covered with aluminum foil or food wrap etc. The gel nails are softened by the dissolving agent, and the softened gel nails are scraped off with a metal pusher or a washable file.

  Aluminum foil has poor adhesion to gel nails and can not be confirmed from the outside, and food wraps have the disadvantage that gel nails are difficult to soften because the gel dissolving agent is easily vaporized.

  In order to eliminate such a defect, a simple dropping method of gel nails for easily dropping gel nails has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In the gel nail simple drop method described in Patent Document 1, an adhesive material is provided at both ends of one side of a tape body having an appropriate width and length, and a tape having a water retention member such as cotton at the center of the tape body is used. A gel dissolving agent is impregnated into the water holding member, and the tape main body is wound around a finger so that the water holding member is positioned at the gel nail, and fixed with the adhesive material at both ends of the tape main body.

JP 2011-36457 A

However, even if the gel nail is softened by the conventional method of easily dropping the gel nail, the gel nail can not be easily dropped when the remaining gel nail is scraped off using a metal pusher or a washable file thereafter. The surface of the nails ( back nails) may be scraped off, which may cause pain to the person receiving the treatment. In addition, when the surface layer (back nail) of the nail disappears, the gel nail becomes difficult to adhere, and the holding time of the gel nail becomes short.

  Therefore, the object of the present invention is to allow the gel nail to be dropped without giving a pain to the person who receives the treatment, and to allow the gel nail to last longer than when the treatment method is not adopted. It is to provide.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In each of the drawings, components having substantially the same functions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.

  FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a state in which gel nails are applied to the nails of fingers. The structure of the nail 2 of the finger 1 of the hand has a three-layer structure of an abdominal nail 21, an inner nail 22 and a back nail 23 in order from the side of the finger 1. At the root of the nail 2, there is a cuticle 24 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 described later. In the belly nail 21 and the back nail 23, keratin is continuous in the longitudinal direction (longitudinal direction of the finger), and the inner nail 22 is thicker than the belly nail 21 and the back nail 23, and keratin is continuous in the lateral direction. The gel nail 3 is applied to the surface of the back nail 23.

  The gel nail 3 generally comprises a base gel 31 applied to the back nail 23, a color gel 32 applied on the base gel 31, and a top gel 33 applied on the color gel 32. Design is applied when the color gel 32 is applied.

  Next, a treatment method from removing the gel nail 3 to applying the gel nail 3 anew will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing how the gel nail 3 is removed. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the preparation of the gel nail 3 before application. FIG. 4 is a side view showing the preparation before applying the gel nail 3. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing how the top gel 33 is applied.

(1) Removal of gel nails (off)
Remove the gel nail 3 in the following order.

  (A) Cut the tip of the nail 2 slightly longer than the desired length.

  (B) The surface of the applied gel nail 3 is scraped off with a nail machine gold bit or the like (at the recommended speed) or with a washable file until the color gel 32 is almost exhausted. Next, cotton impregnated with the gel dissolving agent is attached according to the size of the nail so that the gel dissolving agent does not adhere to the skin (one to two fingers each). At this time, for example, cotton is wrapped around the finger with aluminum foil.

  (C) Repeat the above operation (b) until ten fingers 1 are finished.

(D) Return to the first first line, apply cuticle remover 5 to the surface of nail 2 by brushing, etc., and then, as shown in FIG. 2, gel nail 3 with metal metal pusher (also called cuticle pusher) 4. Remove the (mainly base gel 31). At first, it is performed without force toward the root of the nail 2 from the part where the gel nail 3 is coming off. The angle θ ₁ of the metal pusher 4 when removing the gel nail 3 is preferably about 20 to 30 °. The metal pusher 4 is preferably supported by the thumb and middle finger so as not to receive excessive force.

  The cuticle remover 5 has the function of floating the gel nail 3 from the nail 2 and acts as a lubricant for the metal pusher 4, so the gel nail 3 can be easily peeled off with a slight force, so removal of the gel nail Play an important role in the process.

  As the cuticle remover 5, a commercially available one can be used. The components of the cuticle remover 5 include water, liquid lanolin, potassium hydroxide and carrageenan. The liquid lanolin is obtained by converting fat and oil of sheep's wool (lanolin) into a liquid, has an action of floating the gel nail 3 from the nail 2, and is excellent in skin permeability, moisture retention and lubricity. Potassium hydroxide has the effect of softening the skin epidermis. Carrageenan is a polysaccharide obtained by extracting red algae from seaweed, and it has a fluid viscosity and forms a flexible and weak gel. The cuticle remover 5 is originally intended to soften the cuticle 24 but the inventor has found that it has an action of floating the gel nail 3 from the nail 2 and uses it for removing the gel nail 3 based on this finding. It was decided.

  Conventionally, in the gel nail removal process, the cuticle remover 5 is not used, and since the metal pusher 4 and the washable file are used as it is, the surface layer of the nail 2 (for example, the back nail 23 and the middle nail 22) is shaved off The person who was being treated was feeling pain. According to this treatment method, there is almost no need to scrape the surface of the nail 2, and almost no pain is given to the person receiving the treatment.

  (E) If all 10 gel nails 3 are removed and gel nails 3 still remain on the surface of the nail 2, use an oval carbite of the nail machine (rotation speed about 5000 rpm) and brush the gel nails 3 I will peel off. At this time, be careful not to damage the nail 2 at all. Next, the shape of the nail 2 is adjusted with an emery board or the like.

(2) Preparation before application of gel nail (preparation)
Prepare for application of gel nails in the following order.

  (A) Apply the cuticle remover 5 to the root of the nail 2 and immerse one hand in hot water (temperature 35-40) for 2 to 4 minutes.

(B) Wipe the moisture on the surface of the nail 2 with a gauze towel or the like. Then, while keeping the entire surface of the nail 2 wet with the cuticle remover 5, the metal pusher 4 pushes up the thin skin (generally horny skin) of the surface of the nail 2.
(I) First, slowly push up the hard cuticle 24 at the base of the nail 2 at an angle of 45 ° and take a line. If it is hard to push up, apply the metal pusher 4 at 90 ° in the boundary between the cuticle 24 and the claw 2 and check the limit to push up slowly.
(Ii) Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3, the range from the root of the nail 2 nails 2 total 1 / 3-1 / 2, as stroked at an angle theta ₂ is 20 to 30 ° with a metal pusher 4, the pawl We push up thin skin of 2 surfaces toward the root. This operation is performed one to two times.
(Iii) Using the thin part (square type) on the opposite side of the metal pusher 4, as shown in FIG. 4, push up the thin skin (generally keratinous) in the range of 1 to 1.5 mm inside from the cuticle line. The angle of the metal pusher 4 at this time is 45 °. Move to connect the left and right stress points 6 to 6 of the nail. Similarly, apply the cuticle remover 5 to the root of the nail 2 and dip the other hand in hot water.

  (C) After the above step (b) is finished for both hands, pass the pink bit of the nail machine along the cuticle line of the ten nails 2. The speed angle at this time is recommended by the manufacturer.

  (D) Prepare the surface of the nail 2 with a sponge buffer 180G. The adjustment direction is vertical. The nail 2 tip is dropped so that the cross section of the tip of the nail 2 is also firmly sanded. The surface of the nail 2 is easily scratched in the process up to the above (c), so the surface of the nail 2 may be clouded.

  (E) Remove cuticles, thin skins and small nails left around the cuticle 24 with a cuticle nipper.

  (F) Dust the entire nail 2 with a nail brush.

  (G) Wipe the nail 2 with a gauze (non-woven nonwoven fabric) impregnated with a preprimer. At this time, since there is dust on the back of the pocket of the cuticle 24 and the back of the nail, it is removed firmly.

  In the case of only turning off the gel nail 3 without painting the gel nail 3, the cuticle cream is used instead of the cuticle remover 5. After finishing both hands, if necessary, the surface may be trimmed with a touch like 280 G of sponge buffer or polished with a thinner.

(3) Application of Base Gel The base gel 31 is applied in the following order.
(A) Apply a preprimer to the surface of the nail 2 with brush.
(B) Take a small amount of the base gel 31 at the tip of the brush and apply it so that it rubs from the toe to the root. At this time, the amount of gel nail 3 may be so small as to be faint.
(C) Take a specified amount of base gel 31 as a brush tip, apply it to the entire area from the toe to the root, and cure one hand at a time. For curing, for example, a light according to a base gel 31 such as an LED (light emitting diode) light, a UV (ultraviolet light) light, a CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamp) light and the like is used.

(4) Application of color gel The color gel 32 is applied and designed on the cured base gel 31.

(5) Application of Top Gel The top gel 33 is applied in the following order.
(A) The top gel 33 uses a soft gel that can be drawn out. Apply plenty of top gel (approximately 1.5 times the specified amount) to the tip of the brush.
(B) As shown in FIG. 5, the top gel 33 is placed on the end face of the tip of the nail 5 in the same manner as adding the length with the gel nail 3. At this time, care is taken so that the top gel 33 does not go around the back of the nail 2.
(C) Make sure that the surface of the nail 2 draws a smooth almond-like arch and harden it.
In the application step of the top gel 33, it is preferable to cure the two gel nails 3 one by one so that the gel nails 3 do not stick to the skin.

(6) After curing 10 bottles, wipe off the uncured gel.

(7) Moisturize the finish with cuticle oil.

(The difference between the present embodiment and the conventional method)
Table 1 shows the results of interviews with 10 subjects for the presence or absence of pain. In the conventional example, the gel nail 3 remaining on the surface of the nail 2 is removed by the metal pusher 4 without using the cuticle remover 5 in the step of removing the gel nail 3.

  As shown in Table 1, according to the treatment method of the present embodiment, no one felt pain among 10 people, whereas according to the conventional treatment method, 9 out of 10 people suffered pain. I felt it.

Table 2 shows the hearing results of the holding time of gel nail 3 with respect to three subjects. The holding time is the time from when the gel nail 3 is applied to the nail 2 to when a part of the gel nail 3 is peeled off.

  As shown in Table 2, the duration of the gel nail 3 is as short as one week in the conventional treatment method, whereas according to the treatment method of the present embodiment, the duration of the gel nail 3 is from 2 weeks It is four weeks long and twice as long as conventional treatment methods.

(Operation of the embodiment, effect)
According to the present embodiment, the following actions and effects can be obtained.
(1) After removing the top gel 33 and the color gel 32 of the gel nail 3 applied to the surface of the nail 2, apply the cuticle remover 5 to the surface of the nail 2 and leave the gel nail remaining on the surface of the nail 2 Since the 3 is lifted up and the tip of the metal pusher 4 is applied at a predetermined angle to the surface of the nail 2 and removed with a slight force, the gel nail 3 is applied without giving much pain to the person receiving the operation. It can be dropped.
(2) Cuticle Remover 5 is applied in a preparation step prior to the application of Gel Nail 3, and after the finger is dipped in hot water, the thin skin on the surface of Nail 2 is removed, and then Gel Nail 3 is applied. Compared with the dry state, the gel nail 3 can be made to last longer.
(3) The unique treatment combining the goodness of water care and dry care can shorten the treatment time of gel nail 3 as compared to the case where water care and dry care are performed separately.

The embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various embodiments are possible. For example, although the case where the gel nail treatment method is applied to the nails of the fingers is described in the above embodiment, the gel nail treatment method may be applied to the nails of the toes.

  Further, within the scope of the present invention, additions, deletions, changes, replacements and the like of steps are possible in the steps of the above embodiment. For example, although a metal pusher is used in the above process, a pusher whose tip is made of silicon may be used.
