Therefore, the question of how to make the right manicure at home is asked by most of the female population of the planet. It is not so difficult to become a professional in this field. You can achieve gorgeous nails in just five simple steps.

Beautiful shape and shine

Before you make the right one, you should choose a quality nail file. It is better to avoid metal, but sand, glass or sapphire - a good choice. The rough grain structure of the surface of the tool is suitable for and fine-grained with a buffer zone - for natural ones. The nail should be filed in one direction - from the edge to the center. Only a dry nail plate can be shaped, a wet one may subsequently begin to exfoliate. How to make the right manicure at home so that the nails shine? Special polishers with 4 surfaces, from rough and grainy to smooth and soft, will give them evenness and natural shine.

Cuticle removal

How to make the right manicure at home? First of all, learn how to properly remove the cuticle. Masters advise doing this in an unedged way. In any cosmetic store, you can find products for easy thin film removal, which not only gently soften the skin around the nail (and generally make the procedure safe), but also prevent the growth of the cuticle. The area around the nails must be looked after every day: delicately washed, rubbed easily and treated with a special oil or cream. The ideal cuticle stick is one with a soft rubber working surface.

Down with the burrs

Proper manicure at home can not do without the fight against burrs. At the first signs of rough skin near the nail, it is necessary to resort to baths from heated olive oil. But if the moment is missed, then drastic measures should be taken. Hands must be steamed in a bath with the addition of a few drops of glycerin or soda, then wipe them dry and begin to remove burrs with special bevelled nippers, applying them to the skin almost perpendicularly.

Nail strengthening

Special varnishes, warm oil and daily rubbing of the cuticle composition are good for strengthening the nails. To give greater strength to the edges, strengthening varnish can be applied to the other side of the nail. Proper nutrition and the intake of the necessary vitamins in the body contribute to the growth of healthy nails. In your diet, you need to include foods containing vitamins A, B and C, minerals such as iron, zinc, sulfur and silicon.

Lacquer application

First, you should put a base varnish, which will give the main color a deep shade. Shake the bottle with the main varnish, remove the brush, wiping it on the edge. Apply varnish should be in the middle of the nail bed, gradually moving the brush to the edge. Next, move the brush to the tip with light pressure. The sides of the nail can be painted over with the remnants of varnish. You can remove misses from the cuticle with a regular cotton swab, previously moistened with nail polish remover. Knowing how to do it right and carrying out this procedure regularly, you can make your pens the object of envy of many of your friends. Dare!

Since under the overgrown nail dirt and dust can accumulate, which must be removed. How to do a manicure at home? After all, from correct technique performance depends on the health and beauty of nails.

Now there are a lot of salons that provide such a service as a manicure, but most girls prefer it. After all, it does not need to spend money and plan a trip in advance. In order to make the right manicure at home, you will need a standard set of tools and skin and cuticle care products. Manicure at home is a set of simple procedures that even the most inexperienced master can do. Ideal and desired nail shape, shine, well-groomed cuticles And strong nails- all this can be obtained thanks to the right manicure.

In order for the pens to always look perfect and well-groomed, manicure should be done once a week. Now let's figure out how to do a manicure correctly.

There are two types of manicure

1. Edged, that is, during the procedure, the cuticle is removed with the help of nail scissors or tweezers. This is for those who have thick and rough cuticles. Trim manicure is very traumatic, you need to cut the cuticle carefully, as inflammation may occur.
2. Unedged, suitable for those who have thin cuticles, delicate hand skin. The cuticle is removed with the help of special products, which include lactic and fruit acids.

What is needed in order to make a manicure?

1. Scissors.
2. Nail file. To use a nail file with a fine-grained coating or a glass (ceramic) nail file.
3. Nail file for polishing.
4. Tweezers (it is better to purchase from surgical steel).
5. Spatula to push back the cuticle.
6. Water, sea salt, essential oil, olive oil (optional) bath utensils.
7. Nail polish remover without acetone.
8. Cotton wool.
9. Cuticle softening oil.
10. Cuticle remover.
11. Hand cream nourishing or softening.
12. Varnish (fixer, base and color according to mood).

All this is needed in order to make a manicure at home.

Let's start the process

The technique for performing a correct manicure consists of four stages. Let's consider each in more detail.

1. We give the nails the correct and neat shape. But to do this, remove the coating (lacquer) if any. There are several types of shapes: square, oval, almond-shaped, oval, round. To cut nails, we take scissors. You need to cut your nails in one smooth movement. Then be sure to file the edge with a nail file. It must be taken into account that the nails are filed only in a dry state. If steamed or wet, then the nail plate may begin to exfoliate. Movements during filing should be smooth and directed from the edge to the hole in the nail. Direct the nail file only in one direction, so that the nails do not exfoliate as a result. In order to give shine to the nails, we take a nail file for polishing. On such nail files, each side is numbered, so follow the order.
2. The first stage is ready. It's time for a bath . Pour warm water into a bowl, put a little sea ​​salt, essential mala, liquid soap and a few drops of olive oil (optional). Dip your fingers in the water. This procedure will help soften the cuticle and enrich the nails with vitamins. The duration of the procedure is no more than 10 minutes.
3. Time has passed, the cuticle has softened. Now you can remove it . Remove one finger from the water, wipe with a dry towel. In order to remove the cuticle, take a spatula and move the cuticle to the base of the nail. You need to act carefully so as not to damage the nail plate. With the sharp side of the spatula, clean the remaining skin from under the cuticle. We remove the cuticle with tweezers, the movements should be small and jerky, you can’t pull the skin, as wounds and hangnails may appear. If you do an unedged manicure, you should treat the cuticle with a special tool. After a short period of time, remove the product along with the cuticle with a stick. Apply the cuticle remover gradually and alternately on each nail, as it dries quickly. After all the nails are processed, apply oil to the cuticle, massage each nail a little. Apply to the skin of the hands nutritious cream. Let the product soak in for a few minutes.
4. Coating . Before this procedure, it is imperative to degrease the nail plate with nail polish remover. This is very important to ensure that the decorative coating is easy and even on the nail surface. The first layer is applied base coat in order to align the nail plate. Decorative varnish must be applied smoothly. To do this, put the brush to the base of the nail, draw a strip. The second and third stroke, draw from the base nail plate in an arc (with these movements, apply varnish to the edges of the nail). The last final stage is the application of a fixative coating, which will provide shine and increase the service life of the manicure.

Hi all! Today I want to talk to you about manicure at home.

Until the 11th grade, I didn’t take care of my nails in any way. Never trimmed the cuticle, the nails were shapeless. The nail plate itself is quite wide and at the same time short. I would never have thought that I could love my nails until I went to a manicure and gel nail polish to one girl. I went to her again 5 times, as a result, my nails have changed beyond recognition. The nails are not so short, and with the shape of a "soft square" they look even better. Now I do manicures and gel polish at home.

Why did I choose gel polish?

I am naturally very thin and brittle nails, so growing them is an impossible task. In addition, the varnish on my nails does not last longer than three days, and there is no time to repaint my nails all the time. Yes, and varnishing does not look as perfect as gel polish, as it is always smeared. I always tried to treat my nails, namely: I drank vitamins, and bought all kinds of strengthening products of different brands and price categories, and I did baths. But I didn't notice any major changes. All these factors pushed me to use gel polish regularly. I wear gel polish for 2-3 weeks.

Gel polish will not be beautiful without good manicure, tested on my own experience. This fact made me look for my ideal option, which I still found by trial and error. I will share them with you.

For manicure we need:

• pusher

For those who do not have it yet, I strongly advise you to purchase this tool, very useful thing, allowing you to carefully move the cuticle away from the nail. Orange sticks didn't work on my cuticles.

• wire cutters

I advise you to buy better quality nippers that will cut off your cuticle, and not tear it. I had Metzger cutters, which I used for three years, they cost about 300-400 rubles. Now, to replace them, I purchased Staleks wire cutters, they are a little more expensive - 600 rubles.

• apparatus for manicure

I know that many do not have a manicure machine. You can do without it without problems, with it just a manicure turns out a little cleaner. Well, if someone is interested, then inexpensive cars can be viewed on Aliexpress. By the way, I also use the machine to remove gel polish, it saves a lot of time. I have a device brand Runail, bought a few years ago for 3500 rubles, it suits me perfectly.

• needle cutter

  

• file for natural nails

For natural nails, a file is used with an abrasiveness of more than 200 grit, in my case 240/240. I used wood and paper based files, both are good, but wood is considered more durable.




So, let's get down to the manicure itself:

1.We shape the nail plate with a file.

Now my nail shape is not ideal, because without strengthening the nail plate, I managed to break them off.



2. Gently push back the cuticle with a pusher.



3. With the reverse sharp side of the pusher, we clean the nail under the cuticle, namely, we remove the pterygium.







5. Using a manicure machine, needle-shaped with a cutter we clean the space under the cuticle and in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe side ridges.




Again, this is perfect for me.Please see before and after pictures:




Before this manicure option, I really liked the following:

1. Apply a special cuticle oil and rub it in.

2.Push back the cuticle with a pusher.

3. We try to cut the cuticle with one strip with nippers.

Due to the oil, the cuticle softens, thereby being easier to remove. In this way, a very neat manicure was also obtained, but if you are going to cover your nails with varnish or gel polish, then in this case the nail plate must first be thoroughly degreased, otherwise you will not enjoy the manicure for long .

I also tried the option of softening the cuticles with a bath, but this method turned out to be very inconvenient for me.

I also tried the option of removing the cuticle with special means, but for some reason my cuticle is not completely removed in this case, and the manicure is not very neat. I tried several different products, after that I do not experiment anymore.

So, I talked about manicure as such. Now I want to talk about the process of applying gel polish to my nails, which I have been doing for myself at home for several years now.

What we need:




• buff

  
  

• adhesive remover and degreaser

It can be different products, but I have this one product from the Severina brand, I constantly buy it.



• primer or bond

An optional step, but the tool contributes to a better adhesion of the nail to the coating. I used this tool once before applying regular nail polish, it works very well, the nail polish lasts longer. I have a bond from the Gelish brand, very good, I also buy it not the first time. I used a primer from the Runail brand - useless, and just lying idle.




• lint-free wipes

I advise you not to neglect this purchase. From ordinary cotton pads there may be villi on the nails that will not be visible to your eye, and when you subsequently cover your nails with gel polish, they will cause you a lot of problems. I buy such a huge roll, the price of which is about 300 rubles. If you use one, then it will last for several years.



• base and top for gel polish

I do not recommend saving on these funds. Since the base is in direct contact with the nail, it is very important that it be of high quality. Otherwise, you may ruin your nails. well and nice top is the key to a long and durable coating. I had a base and a top brand Gelish, despite their price, they did not impress me. But I am very satisfied with the base and top of the E.Mi brand, and their price is pleasant. Now I still have a thick base from the Kodi brand, I am also very pleased with it. It is suitable for those whose nails are very thin, and they need to be strengthened.




• color gel polish

Here's where you can save some money. The only thing is that very cheap gel polishes can upset you with color density and ease of application. Nevertheless, there are now a lot of worthy and inexpensive funds. I have expensive ones in my collection: CND, Gelish, and inexpensive ones. Especially big collection gel polish brand Runail, their price is less than 250 rubles, and the quality is very good.




• lamp

Essential for drying gel polish. Now there are UV (ultraviolet), LED and hybrid lamps. I have UV, it is the cheapest, I bought it 3 years ago for 2000 rubles, but now such lamps are much cheaper. Its disadvantage is that the gel polish in it must be dried for 2 minutes. While in LED or hybrid lamps only 30 seconds. But they are much more expensive, you can buy them in stores only for big money (I saw the cheapest lamp for 6-7 thousand, and most sell for 10,000 and more). But on Aliexpress they are much cheaper, I myself plan to order there in the near future.



About the process of applying gel polish:

1. We remove the gloss from the nail with a buff. This must be done carefully, only slightly go over the nail, otherwise you can do harm.
2. We apply a degreaser to a lint-free cloth and go over her nails.
3. Apply a bond or primer to the nails. Let the product soak in for a minute.
4. Apply a thin layer of gel polish base. Do not get the base on the cuticle and the zone of the lateral ridges. Dry the nails in a UV lamp for 2 minutes, in a LED lamp for 30 seconds.

   

5. The item is optional! For those who want to strengthen the plate, you need to use a dense rubber base. It is necessary to apply a drop of the base to the highest point of the nail plate and with light movements evenly distribute the base over the entire nail. For a better distribution of the base, the nail should be turned over and wait 10-15 seconds. Then we dry the nails in a UV lamp for 2-3 minutes, in a LED lamp for 30 seconds - 1 minute.
6. Apply a thin layer of colored gel polish. I usually apply 2 coats but sometimes 3 coats are needed. Dry each layer in the lamp for 2 minutes, in the LED for 30 seconds.

   

7. Apply top coat. Dry the nails in a UV lamp for 2 minutes, in a LED lamp for 30 seconds.
8. If the base has a sticky layer, then remove it with special means .
9. Well, the final stage - Apply cuticle oil.

Final result:



How to remove gel polish from nails?

In no case should you tear it off the nail, so you will only cause harm. The main method of removal is the use of a special liquid.

The procedure is simple:

• moisten a cotton pad with liquid and wrap the nail
• wrap the nail on top with food foil, wait 10-15 minutes
• remove the foil and cotton pad, remove the remaining gel polish from the nail with a pusher or an orange stick

Again, I'm currently stripping with a machine and a carbide cutter.

Lately I've become addicted to using sliders. For design, you can also use rhinestones, mica "broken glass", acrylic powder, sequins, stencils, etc. In a word, there is where to roam.
