REPARATII SI CORECTII ALE UNGHIEI

How to change direction, rebuild the shape, and choose the right material

This course is not just about repairing a crack or rebuilding a corner. The main focus is on correcting the architecture.

You will learn to look at the nail from all angles, identify the incorrect direction, and rebuild the shape according to the longitudinal axis, the nail bed, the stress points, the chosen product, and the result you want to achieve.

We do not simply add material over an incorrect structure. We analyze, remove what affects the result, and rebuild the architecture so that the nail is balanced, durable, and aesthetic.

• You don't know how to analyze the longitudinal axis.
• The nails grow downward, upward, or sideways and you don't know how to correct them.
• You reconstruct the shape by following the wrong direction of the natural nail.
• The apex remains too far forward after maintenance.
• The sides are not symmetrical.
• The sidewalls droop or flare out.
• The reconstructed corner turns out too thick.
• You don't know how much affected material needs to be removed.
• You don't know if you can correct it through maintenance or if you need to reconstruct it.
• You don't know which material to choose.
• You use the same product for every correction.
• The crack reappears after repair.
• The repair lifts.
• You don't know when to use fiberglass.
• You don't know when you can repair and when you need to remove it.
• The shape looks correct from above, but it is unbalanced from the profile or front view.

• How to analyze existing architecture.
• How to identify the longitudinal axis.
• How to establish the correct axis of the future nail.
• How to analyze the growth direction.
• How to correct downward, upward, or laterally deviated nails.
• How to reposition the apex.
• How to reconstruct the side walls.
• How to restore the stress points.
• How to choose the right product for correction.
• How much material needs to be removed.
• How to change the architecture without thickening the work.
• How to restore a missing corner.
• How to handle cracks and breaks.
• When to use fiberglass.
• When to repair versus when to completely reconstruct.
• How to check the result from all perspectives.

Before correction, you will analyze:

• The growth direction of the natural nail.
• The longitudinal axis of the finger.
• The current axis of the enhancement.
• The position of the apex.
• The thickness of the material.
• The sidewalls and lower arches.
• The stress points.
• The C-curve.
• The length.
• The shape viewed from above.
• The profile.
• The frontal view.
• Areas with lifting, cracks, or unstable material.

Correction begins before you apply the product. It starts the moment you understand what is wrong.

You will learn:

• How to identify the finger axis.
• How to check if the nail is deviated.
• How to distinguish between the natural direction and the direction the construction should have.
• How to visually and structurally correct a nail that grows to the side.
• How to reconstruct without copying the existing defect.
• How to check the direction before polymerization.

The nail must be analyzed together with the finger and the hand, not in isolation.

You will learn:

• How much material needs to be removed.
• How to visually and structurally lift the direction.
• How to reconstruct the free edge.
• How to position the apex.
• How to avoid a thick tip.
• When correction is sufficient and when the construction needs to be redone.

You will learn:

• How to identify the upward direction.
• How to avoid a concave structure.
• How to create balance between the upper and lower parts.
• How to choose the right shape.
• How to adapt the thickness.
• How to correct the direction without overloading the apex area.

You will learn:

• How to check the central axis.
• How to observe differences between the sides.
• How to rebuild the missing wall.
• How to reduce the dominant side.
• How to correct the visual direction.
• How to check symmetry from above and from the front.
• How to prevent the nail from returning to the same incorrect direction.

During maintenance, the old apex moves forward as the nail grows.

You will learn:

• How to identify the old apex.
• How much needs to be reduced.
• Where to position the new apex.
• How to distribute the product.
• How to maintain strength.
• How to avoid bulkiness.
• How to check the transitions.

We do not just fill in the regrowth area. We rebalance the entire structure.

You will learn to choose based on:

• Nail plate type.
• Length.
• Flexibility.
• Growth direction.
• The area that needs to be reconstructed.
• The degree of support required.
• The technique used.
• Product compatibility.

We will discuss when it may be appropriate to use:

• A self-leveling gel.
• A more rigid gel.
• A gel with controlled flexibility.
• Acrygel.
• Fiberglass.
• A compatible combination of materials.

You will learn:

• How to clean the area.
• How to check if the remaining support is stable.
• How to rebuild the growth point.
• How to choose the material.
• How to restore the sidewall.
• How to avoid a thick corner.
• How to integrate the repair into the existing architecture.
• How to check the strength from the side and front view.

The corner must not just be "glued" back on. It must be reintegrated into the nail structure.

Although the module focuses on architecture, you will also learn:

• How to identify the type of crack.
• How to check the depth.
• When the crack can be repaired.
• When it should not be covered.
• How much unstable material needs to be removed.
• How to clean the area without hurting the client.
• How to choose the gel, acrygel, or fiberglass.
• How to protect the repaired area.
• How to rebuild the architecture to reduce the risk of recurrence.

We do not repair an open, painful crack or one accompanied by bleeding. In such situations, we protect the client and postpone the application until the area can be worked on safely.

You will learn:

• When it is useful.
• When it is not necessary.
• How to position it.
• How to integrate it into the material.
• How to avoid bulkiness.
• How to seal the edges.
• How to rebuild over it.
• How to check if the repair is stable.

Fiber is a support, not a solution for every problem. If the architecture remains incorrect, the crack may reappear even if you used fiber.

Local repair may be appropriate when:

• The remaining material is stable.
• The architecture can be rebalanced.
• The affected area is limited.
• There are no contraindications.
• The repair can be properly integrated.

Reconstruction may be necessary when:

• The architecture is completely unbalanced.
• The direction cannot be corrected over the existing support.
• There is a lot of detached material.
• The crack affects the structure.
• Multiple points of resistance are compromised.
• The existing product is incompatible or cannot be identified.
• The desired shape requires a major change.

You will learn to check your work:

• From above.
• In profile.
• Frontally.
• From the tip.
• In relation to the finger axis.
• At the apex level.
• At the growth points.
• At the sidewalls.
• At the free edge.
• In the repaired area.

A successful correction should not be visible as an “added piece.” It must be part of a coherent architecture.

After completing the course, you will have clear benchmarks for:

• Identifying structural defects.
• Analyzing the longitudinal axis.
• Correcting the nail direction.
• Repositioning the apex.
• Reconstructing the sidewalls and growth points.
• Changing the architecture during maintenance.
• Choosing the right material.
• Repairing corners and cracks.
• Using fiberglass when necessary.
• Deciding between repair and reconstruction.
• Achieving a thinner, balanced, and resistant structure.

• Structured video lessons.
• Complete architecture analysis.
• Correction of the longitudinal axis and direction.
• Apex repositioning.
• Correction of downward, upward, and deviated nails.
• Reconstruction of sidewalls and corners.
• Material selection for each correction.
• Controlled crack repair.
• Use of fiberglass.
• Criteria for repair vs. complete reconstruction.
• Module workbook in PDF format.
• Digital certificate of participation, available in your account upon completion.
