Modern plastic nail forms for extensions – features

Rigid material is one of the most important features of good nail forms. When the form doesn’t bend under the weight of the product, it is easier to keep the free edge straight and the shape repeatable across all fingers. A stable form doesn’t change angle as you work, so the extension has its intended outline from the start and you spend less time correcting it with a file.

• Version: modern – for salon work and avant-garde shapes.
• Material: foil – the forms are stiffer than paper.
• Stability: they don’t fold over while you work.
• Packaging: roll of 500 pcs

Paper nail forms or plastic forms – which to choose for the salon?

Paper forms are softer than foil, so they bend more easily on longer constructions. Plastic modern forms keep their rigidity, which you will appreciate with avant-garde shapes and with clients who ask for a lot of length. White and pink forms differ: the white ones are stiffer, have extra guide lines for avant-garde shapes, a different shape and are longer. If you plan very long extensions, bear these features in mind when choosing.

How to use nail forms for nail extensions – step by step

• Prepare the natural nail plate according to your technique: buff it, remove the dust and degrease it, e.g. with Nail Fresh dehydrator.
• Peel the form off the roll and fit it under the free edge so that it sits snugly against the nail – a perfect fit stops the product flowing under the form.
• If the outline of the form needs adjusting, trim it, e.g. with form-trimming scissors with a curved tip.
• Apply builder gel or acrygel and sculpt the structure – for the gel method, Tixy Cover Pink 50 ml builder gel works well, for example.
• Cure the product in a UV/LED lamp according to the instructions of the system you use, remove the form and refine the shape of the nail with a file.
• If the product requires it, wipe the surface with a nail cleanser and move on to colour, e.g. gel polish.

500 pieces for the salon – who is the large roll for?

You choose the large pack when you do nail extensions on forms every day and want a steady supply at your nail desk. One roll replaces several smaller packs, and a nail stylist working with several clients a day doesn’t have to keep remembering to reorder. It’s the choice for a professional who already knows the extension manicure technique and wants repeatable results, and a large roll of plastic nail forms will last a long time. If you’re just starting out or want to try the modern version first, reach for the smaller roll of 100 pieces. For professional use only.

Forms for extensions – a perfect fit and a flawless shape

The form is the foundation of the structure. Place it straight along the axis of the finger so that the extension continues the natural nail plate rather than veering off to the side. Check that the form sits snugly under the free edge across its whole width – even a small gap will let the product flow underneath, and you’ll have to remove it. A well-placed form makes it easier to build the arch and keep the proportions of length and shape – from oval and almond to square – and that translates into the durability of the nail set. Unlike tips, the form is removed after curing, so only the built structure remains on the nail.
