Do not be afraid of professional terms. Any of the above types of manicure can be done at home. Sometimes in order to achieve the desired result, it is only necessary to choose the right tools and have a little patience.

How to make a manicure?

If you have thin nails, you need semi-circular, sand files with a fine-grained surface and a buffer zone. Such tools perfectly polish the surface of the nail, retaining its original structure. Owners of strong, solid nails is better to use sapphire nail files. Preference should be given to tools on a cardboard or rubber base. Professional metalworkers practically do not use metal files today. Grinding should be done only on dry nails, because wet is characterized by a tendency to delamination. The whole process consists of several stages, which we will consider in more detail.

Removing varnish and shellac

Before the procedure, it is necessary to prepare hands and nails, including thoroughly cleaning the nail plate from the remnants of the old varnish. A special fluid is used to remove conventional formulations. It is better to choose professional products in which, in addition to acetone or another solvent, there are emollient, vitamin supplements. This will preserve the natural beauty of the nails. Lac-gel, called shellac, is particularly resistant. To remove it, you will need aluminum foil, acetone (isopropyl alcohol), orange sticks.

Sequence of operations:

  A varnish solvent is applied to a cotton pad or ordinary cotton. Make sure that the cotton does not touch the tissues surrounding the nail plate. Harmful solvent exposure may cause skin irritation.

  Soaked cotton wool is placed on the nail.

  The upper phalanx of the finger wraps around with foil.

It is necessary to withstand 10-15 minutes, after which the foil unfolds and you can remove the cotton wool. The lacquer film has become much softer and can be easily removed by hand. If there are traces of dirt on the surface of the nail, they are removed by an orange stick.

Cutting nails at home

To give the nails the desired shape, it is better to use special tweezers. Using scissors is very difficult to achieve perfect, precise lines. Forceps will help you accurately measure almost every millimeter. On how well you align the upper contours of the nail, it depends on how long it takes for its subsequent processing.

How to remove the cuticle correctly?

The cuticle is best removed uncut. In this case, you will be able to avoid various injuries with sharp instruments and prevent repeated rapid tissue proliferation in this area. A special liquid is applied to the cuticle, which helps soften tissues. At the same time a professional tool gently affects the cuticle and prevents its further growth.

Then a special stick with a tip of soft rubber should be carefully pushed the cuticle inside. Burrs are removed after pre-steaming hands. To do this, prepare the bath with warm water, a pinch of salt and a spoon of glycerin. Dealing with burrs should be with the help of special tweezers, which must first be carefully disinfected with an alcohol solution. If there are wounds in the nail treatment process, they are also disinfected by any suitable means.

Proper nail polish

The application of the base allows to achieve the best visual results and increases the manicure resistance. After complete drying of the substrate, the varnish of the chosen shade is applied. Fashion Manicure  involves the implementation of original creative ideas that involve the application of elegant, intricate designs, rhinestones, etc. on top of the lacquer.

For example, water manicure at home  performed in the following sequence:

Cover your nails with a base coat.

Glue all the skin around the nail with adhesive tape. Alternatively, you can thickly lubricate this place with a means designed to soften the cuticle. These measures will help to avoid contamination of the surfaces that surround the nail plate.

Type a little water in the container.

In this water, drip varnish and wait until it spreads over the surface. You can choose different shades. The number of colors is limited solely by your imagination.

Take a regular toothpick and start painting patterns on the water. It is enough to hold a wooden stick on the water surface several times to form an intricate pattern of lacquer. Traditional options are stars, flowers, abstract geometric figures. However, your fantasy can go even further, and manicure design  can be as varied as you wish.

When the image obtained on the water has reached the final stage of perfection, carefully lower your finger into the water and slip it under the drawing. Toothpick remove excess varnish. A little holding the finger in this position, gently remove it.

After the drawing is completely dry, remove the protective tape.

French manicure at home

In order to try this technique at home, such as French manicure, you need to stock up with clear varnish, white enamel and special stencils, which are necessary for a beautiful and accurate design of the end part of the nail. A basic transparent base is applied on the treated and prepared nails. After the varnish is completely dry, take one strip-stencil and put it on the nail in the right place, namely a little below the regrown part of the nail. It is important to carefully press the strip to eliminate the occurrence of gaps. On top part  nail plate apply white enamel. The stencil strip can be removed only after the enamel has completely dried.

The color and color of the marigold when proper care  lasts for up to four weeks, after which a correction is necessary. During this time, the own plate grows, and with it any applied coating, so the design becomes brittle, and it looks unaesthetic.

Putting gel varnish, in the people called shellac,  is a compromise combination between the use of a modeling gel and a conventional lacquer for painting. When applying it, the manicure looks neat and natural, the length of the nail can not be adjusted, of course. Unlike ordinary varnish, such a coating can retain its original appearance up to two weeks. It does not lose color and does not slazit, but it is prone to chipping and breaking at its free tips, especially if its own nails do not have a special strength.

Nail care can be done in the salon with professional masters or independently at home.

How to care for your nails?

Caring for your hands for beginners can be quite difficult. But all difficulties disappear after several trials. The main rule here: the eyes are afraid, and the hands do. But in order to properly handle the nails and the surrounding skin on their own, you must take into account some of the recommendations of experienced masters.

An independent manicure should begin with the preparation of all the necessary tools. The following may be required aidswhich is better to always have on hand.

• Manicure Scissors, with which you can trim the nails. They should be comfortable in the hand, have a quality, best manual sharpening.
• Nippers for removal of a thin skin.  The ideal option would be pliers with a manual version of sharpening. With a loss of sharpness, you can turn to a master who can correct the edges and make them as sharp as new ones.
• Nail fileneeded to give them the perfect shape. Choosing her, do not pay much attention to the design. It is better to focus on the material and its abrasiveness. Preference is better to samples of glass or plastic, they are better than metal ones, since they do not cause a bundle of marigolds. The abrasiveness of such a file should be within 150-230 grit, it will allow you to easily adjust the free edges, their geometry and elongation. With the help of abrasive 240-420 grit, you can grind a nail, and using a buff with abrasiveness over 900 grit, you can make a finish polish and prepare the surface for applying varnish.
• Orange Stick and Cuticle Softener Gelcan be used for a gentle variety of manicure. With the help of them, the excess skin is made softer and painlessly moves away. At the same time, damage and infection are excluded.
• To care for the skin of the hands, you can stock up on various scrubs, oil formulations and special creams.
• Degreaserto prepare the nail plate for varnish. As it can perfectly serve the usual alcohol or face lotion based on it.
• Nail Polish Remover  need to clean the nail from the old manicure.

First you need to make adjustments to the length and shape of the nail. To dramatically change long nails  for short, to accelerate the case used nail scissors. For a softer correction using files. You need to follow a few rules to make the process faster and better.

• Experts do not recommend using a file more than once every seven days.
• Be sure to leave the edge of the claws. The best option is a length of at least two millimeters. Complete cutting of loose edges looks unattractive. In addition, with constant use may contribute to the deformation of the nail. Its free edge becomes wide and spatulate. If you decide to grow marigolds later, this can be a significant problem.
• Previously it was thought that cutting or filing the nail-offs would be easier; you need to soak it beforehand in the bath or using local hand baths. Remember that this is fundamentally wrong. Correction of the shape of the wet nail is likely to lead to its further separation due to structural disorders. Therefore, it is always necessary to file only dry marigolds.
• One more interesting fact: When working, a nail file should be kept perpendicular to the nail point. It is better to start the process of processing from the edges, and to finish in the middle.

No less important in comparison with the shape of the nail is the correct treatment of the cuticle. You can do it in different ways. The most common are two options: trim and uncut methods.  In a cut or classic version, the excess skin is trimmed with pliers or tweezers. For high-quality processing, you first need to soak or steam the skin in the bath. You can also use special softening agents.

In the use of tweezers for trimming the cuticle need some skill and extreme accuracy. But they allow you to achieve excellent results without needing to use additional scrap materials.

Unedged version, called the European, is more suitable for beginners.Special softening agents are required for its implementation. They have a special effect on the cuticle, which can then be easily removed or moved away with the help of an orange stick or a special scoop from a manicure set. This type of treatment eliminates injuries and is more accurate, especially in not very capable hands. It also saves time, because the handles do not need to soak in the bath.

After the bath with the help of tweezers, you can remove the burrs, if they appear. In order to minimize the chance of bacteria or infection, it is better to disinfect the devices before this procedure.

After completion of the care procedures, apply the cream on your hands, massage movements will help to distribute it and improve the absorption of the skin. For the cuticle recommend the use of special nourishing and emollient oils. And on the nails can be applied clear varnish therapeutic effect. It has a positive effect on the growth and condition of the nail plate, providing it with all the necessary nutrients and providing protection from the harmful effects of the environment.

Instead of varnish, ladies who prefer the natural look of marigold can use polishing files and soft buffs. With their help, you can polish the nail plate to a mirror shine, which will give your hands a well-groomed and neat appearance even without the use of decorative or clear varnish.
