September 15, 2012 (Powerhomebiz.com) Digital nail art is a relatively new technical development. It enables the procedure of nail art to be performed by a computer and printer. This can be elaborated by stating that the whole world of colours and designs can now be painted onto a fingernail, or even toenail.
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 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.
