Classical (traditional) manicure is also called edging, as the cuticle (the skin at the base of the nail) is removed, and wet - the procedure uses water. It is done quite quickly and simply - any woman at home will cope. This type of manicure is suitable for those who have nails often are neglected. It's worth starting with someone who has never worked on his claws. However, manicure has two disadvantages. Unintentionally injuring the cuticle, it is easy to carry the infection. And also, if you are ineptly using manicure tweezers, after the procedure, there may appear hangnails.
First, give the nail plates the desired length and shape. It is better to do this with the help of saws, and not scissors - so the nails will be less flaky. To saw it is necessary only in one party (this requirement is often not adhered even to the master of interiors), differently claws become fragile. Do not perform the procedure on wet nails - this also leads to delamination. Next, remove the cuticle, after softening it. Prepare warm water with soap, sea salt, a teaspoon of glycerin, or some other softening ingredient and hold your hands in it. The softened cuticle is separated and removed with the help of manicure tweezers and special scissors.
On okolonogtevuyu peel, apply a nourishing oil or cream and light massage movements rub the product, evenly distributing it. There is an opinion that with cuticle cuticles grows faster, it becomes coarser. Therefore, European, or unedged, technology of classic manicure is becoming increasingly popular. Cuticle removal is done without the help of cutting tools, which makes the manicure "bloodless", painless and safer. But there is one nuance: a similar manicure looks good on the fingers, which are regularly taken care of.
First, the nails need to be shaped. Here, unlike other types of manicure, the use of scissors is not allowed - only a saw can be used. For gentle processing of the cuticle, a special remedy is applied to remove it - cream, oil, gel, which dissolve the keratinized cells and prevent further growth of the skin. In a few minutes you can delete. Gently, without pressing, push the cuticle back with a stick of orange tree or boxwood. At home, instead of them it is better to use a manicure stick with a "claw" of soft rubber. Clean off the nails of the skin. By the way, if the okolonogevaya cuticle is sufficiently rough, before applying the remedy for its removal, hands can be steamed in a bath with the addition of a few drops of lemon juice. Complete the procedure of a classic manicure, like any other, by applying oil.
So many tools ...
The manicure sets are full of tools. Not all women guess the purpose of some of them. Let's see what is intended for what purposes.
The most necessary thing, which certainly is for each of us - scissors, small, manicure. It is advisable that there are two of them: straight - for cutting nails, and with rounded ends - to remove the cuticle. In the work with the skin around the nail, you still need a shoulder blade, a spear, tweezers. The scapula is necessary for the removal of the cuticle. With the help of a spear, you can raise the lateral edge of the nail for further removal. A tweezers are needed to cut the burrs and coarsened skin on the right and left of the nail plate. They are used to remove the cuticle, but this requires a certain dexterity. Therefore, it is better to use special scissors at home.
Practically every manicure set has a brush. It when doing a classic manicure is very convenient to remove dirt from under the nails, especially if you do it simultaneously with a softening bath. To correct the shape of nails, nail files with different abrasives are recommended. For natural, nascent, with quartz nails dusting, different saws are used. Never treat natural nails with a saw for artificial ones! Do not use and iron nail files, which make claws brittle, stratified. Some experts believe that it is better to use glass nail files for thin problem nails. If your nails are strong enough, you can use sand or sapphire. By the way, for filing the soft side of the nails is better to use a "shallow" nail file. Not many people know that the nail file can also handle rough skin around the nail, and special suede - to grind an uneven nail plate and polish to shine.
If the nails are to "repair"
Weakened layered nails - a constant "headache": neither to grow normally, nor to varnish to put or render. But today experts give a lot of recommendations for the care of problem nails - at least one of the procedures will certainly help.
For strong, but layered nails, sealing is suitable. On the nails cause a cream with keratin, identical to the natural keratin of the nail plate, and fix it with a special composition. Formed film protects the nails for about 10 days. At this time, you can use lacquers, engage in any household chores - imperceptible to the eye protection will restore the structure of the nails. Sealing is especially useful after removing the nails or in order to strengthen the natural before the build-up. The first four sessions, conducted with a 10-day interval, are most effective. Then the procedure produces, rather, a supporting effect.
By the way, such "repair" claws can be done at home. To do this, you need to buy a kit in the specialist store for sealing. The procedure is quite simple. The applied cream with keratin must be rubbed in circular motions into the nail plate with the abrasive side of the file included in the set (the nail file is enough for 3-4 sessions, the set itself - for 50). Remove the remains of the composition with a lint-free cloth. Then apply a little bit of oil on the nails - it "glues" the peeling flakes. And the smooth side of the nail file is to polish the claws. Done!
Many people still think that you can cure your nails by applying creams, oil and so on to the nail plate. In fact, the need to nourish the cuticle, under which the cells of the future claw begin. It is necessary to lubricate it with iodine, to feed at night with oil with vitamins A, E. But do not expect a quick effect: the visible part of the nail plate is replaced only for 3-4 months!
To strengthen the brittle nails can be applied to them varnish with calcium. In the first stage - two layers, and every day on the layer - until the cracking. Remove the cracked layer with a liquid to remove the varnish. Repeat the procedure several times. Course - up to one month. By the way, even the brittle layers of nails would be nice to paint with varnish, including decorative. So we will strengthen the plate, we will save it. The lacquer will not be able to worsen the situation, because, again, the cells that arise under the cuticle are "breathing" unhindered. For the same reason, according to the technology of classical manicure, it is useful to strengthen the nails with gel and acrylic.
