Manicure is a cosmetic ritual, routine work and you can not forget about it, if you do not want to spoil your first impression about yourself. A woman with untidy and untidy nails, whether she is a woman, a smart girl, and a beauty, will still remain in her memory for others. Neither brand clothes, expensive perfume, nor salon hairstyle will save. Cracked nails, burrs on fingers, peeling off lacquer are unacceptable, like an unpleasant smell of sweat or dirty hair and can inflict an irreversible blow on your image. But this is not anything complicated! The main thing is to choose priorities: you can use the service of a real professional in a beauty salon, and you can learn how to do a manicure at home with your own hands neatly and beautifully.

A beautiful manicure at home is not at all limited to the treatment of nails and the application of varnish on them. Unfortunately, women do not always know how to properly manicure. But, paraphrasing the famous Russian proverb:  "manicure training is not an easy learning" - let's try to figure out how to properly paint the nails and what is the original manicure at home. The French tried to answer these questions in the 17th century. The first manicure, for beginners to master this method of treatment, was a long nail on the little finger of only one hand. In those distant and troubled times, knocking on the door with knuckles or with their own hands was considered the height of indecency. And in order to open the door of the house, it was necessary to gently and gently scratch it with a fingernail.

The main thing is to choose high-quality tools. And all these simple procedures: learning manicure, how to make up your nails, how to remove the cuticle correctly and all other related problems will be solved in the course of the play, as well as after acquiring certain skills. Long time ago, when the nail files, as well as the blades pushing the cuticle away, were metal-gone. And thanks for that! Everyone already knows what harm they bring to the nails, and to get hurt with a sharp end is not long. Today, only nail files and wooden sticks, which do not traumatize the cuticle and nails, will help to fix your nails at home. When treating the edges of the nails with these objects in any direction, keep them strictly perpendicular to the nail, without fear of damaging the cuticle.

How to remove cuticles. Clean up or delete?

Home manicure has two ways of how to properly treat the cuticle: trimming (remove) and moving away (remove) with a glass or wooden stick. The first way is edged. Less time consuming, but nevertheless more dangerous. Remove excess skin comes with special nippers, after the cuticle remover (cream, gel or cuticle softener) is absorbed into the skin of the nail. At home, it is worth to tremble your hand, and a cut is not excluded. Cutting the cuticle at home, itself, with ordinary scissors for manicure is not recommended. Even a small scratch or a small shot will cause the nail to crack. Therefore, it is not surprising that this traumatic method of removing the cuticle is a thing of the past.

Today, cuticles are most often treated in a second way — not trimmed. Of course, no one is insured against injuries, but nevertheless, using this method is much safer and more hygienic. The skin around the nail is softened with a special gel, the professionals call it a cuticle remover, and then gently push it away with a wooden stick with a rubber tip. Before bed, be sure to rub in the cuticle natural oils. They perfectly soften the skin and prevent the appearance of burrs and cracks. After you have coped with the main task, the cuticles have been removed, we proceed to the aesthetic part of the operation called: how to make a beautiful manicure at home.

 Stages of the procedure

  • Beautiful nails at home can not be done without high-quality varnish. In addition, this remarkable product also has therapeutic effects that contribute to the consolidation of the nails, leveling the nail plates and protect against colored varnish. Apply it evenly.
  • After drying, the main varnish, colored lacquer is applied with a thin layer, encircling the boundary line of the cuticle and sides of the nail plates. It is very important to have a firm hand to make up the nails, without dropping on the skin of the fingers. If this happened, and the lacquer got on the skin, then do not despair - the usual corrective pencil or cosmetic stick dipped into the nail polish solution will correct this misunderstanding.
  • After your varnish dries, to achieve the greatest effect and increase the period of wear, it is advisable to use gel-fixer.
