APHRO NAILS PORCELAIN

If we would like to build a natural-like, lasting, nice artificial nail, we can prepare it from acrylic powder and the air-drying, odorous liquid, known as porcelain.

Only a small number of artificial nail technicians use porcelain, however, the clients like it very much. Its wear is completely the same as that of the natural nail. It is more lasting than the gel nail. In contrast with the beliefs it is not difficult to work with it, we only need an excellent quality bristled brush and a sufficient amount of liquid.

The porcelain is a modeller material. While applying, it can be modelled easily. Thus with this material the prepared nail will have a completely natural effect. With the Aphro Nails porcelain family it is possible to implement a great number of possible variations from the different materials, just as in the case of the Aphro Nails gel material. Thus the nail technician can prepare the most appropriate nail for every client.

At present the Aphro Nails porcelain artificial nail building family consists of eight members. At the Aphrodite Hand and Foot Care, Artificial Nail Building Training Centre special porcelain artificial nail building further education courses are held for beginners as well as advanced level specialists. More and more specialists participate in these artificial nail building training courses. The courses are held by Virág Halász who won the seventh place in the National Artificial Nail Building Competition, and the third place in Szabolcs Cup.

Among the clients not only the built or the tip porcelain artificial nail is popular but the 3D porcelain decorations as well. These artistic, miniature flowers can be prepared by anybody from the 49 different colours of the Aphro Nails porcelain. To prepare this nail decoration we need excellent quality, original bristled brushes in different shapes and sizes.

APHRO NAILS WHITE PORCELAIN POWDER

The Aphro Nails White extra white porcelain is unbeatable in the market, the material does not become yellow. Its dazzling whiteness makes the smile line enhance magnificently. The Aphro Nails odorous liquid does not modify its whiteness, even if we build a long free edge. It has not to be built thickly; the nail will be lasting even if we prepare an aesthetic, thin free edge.

APHRO NAILS NATURAL PORCELAIN POWDER

The natural porcelain is not water-clear; its effect is similar to an unpolished window glass. This material can be used in a number of ways. We can apply it to prepare the free edge. In this case the free edge will not be snow-white but it will resemble the colour of the natural nail.

This natural free edge is able to correct the aesthetics of nails and hands if applied to elderly people or to clients whose hands are not really nice, whose fingers are short and stocky, whose nails are too small. In this case it is recommended to fill the nail with the crystal porcelain. The natural porcelain powder can also be used for filling the nail plate after building the free edge. In this case the material can cover the defects of the nail plate.

We can also use it for extending the nail bed. You must try this natural porcelain powder!

APHRO NAILS CRYSTAL PORCELAIN POWDER

From the Aphro Nails odorous liquid we will get a nice, water-clear substance. This substance can be applied very easily; it can be patted on the nail plate nicely and evenly. If we use sufficient amount of the liquid, it will cover the nail practically by itself. With the Aphro Nails artificial nail files it can be formed and shaped very easily.

APHRO NAILS PINK PORCELAIN POWDER

The translucent light pink porcelain powder is the dream of the clients with charming hands. Applying this powder the shape of the slim nails will be enhanced. It makes the light, colourless natural nails livelier.
Good advice to the users of the pink powders: On the surface of the nail we should always work with a porcelain ball that is soaked completely with the liquid. A dusty ball will be striped after drying! If we place the pink powder on the white free edge, its dazzling whiteness will be refracted, but it will not be discoloured.

APHRO NAILS EXTRA PINK PORCEALIN POWDER

Emphasize the beauty of the nice, natural nail with this extra pink building porcelain. Give life to the hands, the nails – if necessary!
This material can be used for the extra white free edge or even for filling the natural free edge. On the white free edge this material will show a light pink shade. With tip techniques it will have a light French effect.

APHRO NAILS ODOROUS LIQUID

The Aphro Nails odorous liquid is one of the most favourite materials of the artificial nail technicians. This material provides optimal set time for the porcelain powders. During this optimal period the porcelain powders can be modelled and formed perfectly, so there will be enough time to form the free edge, the smile line and the ‘C’ curve of any kinds of nails. Its odour is not too strong; it is tolerable in the salon. Its great advantage against other liquids is that it does not discolour the builder porcelains, thus the white porcelains will always remain white.

APHRO NAILS PRIMER

As it contains acid material, it must not touch the skin; furthermore it must not be used for people with sensitive skin. It removes all the unnecessary material from the surface of the nail thus providing perfect adhesion for the artificial nail material. Be careful! It dissolves the tip even from below.

APHRO NAILS COMPLEMENTARY MATERIALS IN ARTIFICIAL NAIL BUILDING

Ultra Bond

When preparing the artificial nail building we always have to apply some nail prep to the natural nail surface. Preps collect the nail dust, disinfect the nail surface and provide adhesion for the artificial nail building material applied to it. The Aphro Nails Ultra Bond is the prep for the normal nails. It has to be applied in a thin layer and it must not touch the nail skin.

Primer pencil

Prep pencil. It is used before porcelain or gel building.

Prismatrix Aphro Nails White porcelain powder

The discrete, exclusive glitter can be achieved only by applying porcelain prismatrix material. This kind of glitter cannot be mixed, not even with glitter powder.
It is very easy to work with the porcelain powder that was made for preparing the beautiful, white free edge. It can be directed well, forming the curved smile line will not cause a problem.

Prismatrix Aphro Nails crystal porcelain

Any free edge built from the Aphro Nails white, natural or prismatrix white porcelain can be dressed with this material that provides water-clear, translucent, exclusive glitter. The false nail prepared this way provides a discrete yet striking impression. For the prismatrix powders we need to have a separate brush because of the glitters.

Prismatrix Aphro Nails pink porcelain powder

The translucent, exclusive glitter in a light pink shade is the dream of all those women who like French nails. This kind of effect can be achieved only with the Aphro Nails prismatrix pink porcelain. This material can be modelled, filed and formed very easily. For filling the free edge prepared from the simple natural powder as well as the extra white free edge and the prismatrix free edge we can also apply pink shaded porcelain powder.
With tip techniques applying it alone, we can achieve a soft and gentle effect.

The nail builder’s recommendation: I like working with the Aphro Nails porcelains very much. My clients adore them, while wearing they do not even realize that they are wearing false nails. For the perfect finishing of the porcelain I use the Aphro Nails files, buffers, polishers and oil. The effect is completely natural. Keep the following order:

1. file 80/80 or 100/180
2. buffer
3. Aphro Nails grey banana buffer
4. Aphro Nails super shine block, I polish it until it glitters
5. Massage the oil into the nail and nail skin with a wiping pad
