The theme of our today's conversation is the French manicure, the way of doing it.
Currently, there are many types of manicure, one of the most popular among them is the French manicure. The way of doing this manicure is pretty simple, but it requires great care and some skills.
It's interesting to know that this kind of manicure appeared for the first time in 1976, when one of the film producers asked the director of a nail-making firm to come up with a kind of manicure that would fit any dress of an actress. Thus was born the famous French (French) manicure, which makes the nail look natural and healthy and highlights the edge of the nail with bright white color. The style of the French manicure usually means the natural form of the nail, the moderate length and the shape of the "scapula". The modern way of the French manicure allows a nail instead of a white border - golden, silver, which looks very original and unusual.
Before you start applying any type of manicure, you need to take care of the health of the hands and nails. To do this, it is useful to make a therapeutic relaxing bath. This procedure takes you no more than ten minutes: in a liter of water, dilute 1h. l. sea salt, put your hands in the bath for 5-7 minutes. After the bath, wipe your hands with a soft towel and apply a moisturizing cream on them.
So, French (French) manicure: a way of doing.
To begin with it is necessary to form the shape of each nail. To do this, carefully cut and sand them. Asymmetry in the French manicure is not acceptable. Move the cuticle with a wooden stick or apply a gel on it to soften and remove the cuticle. If the cuticle has become hard, raspate hands in a bath and moisten the cuticle with a special cream.
Cover the nail plate with a manicure base, and then with a translucent beige or pink varnish.
Apply a white, gold or silver lacquer from the edges of the nail to the middle of the protruding part of the nail.
If you do not manage to draw an even line with a white lacquer on the edge of the nail, use the tools for the French manicure: a white pencil and special strips. With a pencil, select the protruding part of the nail by drawing a line on its back side, stick the strips on the nail and apply the lacquer on the rest of the nail.
Allow the varnish to dry and apply the fixer to the nail.
In addition to the French way of doing manicure, you can remember for yourself some more interesting and simple ways with which you will always be on top.

First, soften and slide the cuticle to the edge of the nail. Then give the nail a shape and cover it with varnish. American manicure involves long nails and a rounded shape of the nail plate. The color of the American nail polish must be bright, defiant, even poisonous. The author of this method of manicure can be called Max Factor. Then there was a fashionable rule to combine color of a varnish with color of lipstick.
Spanish manicure.
The main thing in the Spanish way of manicure is to get a rich, deep color of varnish. To do this, the nail must first be applied to the basis for manicure, then a layer of varnish of one of the following shades: pink, milky, beige, whitish, pastel. On this layer, as it dries, a layer of bright lacquer is applied. The last layer of the Spanish manicure is fixing, giving shine.
