During this time, the own plate grows, and with it any applied coating, so the design becomes brittle, and it looks unaesthetic.

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.

This is often practiced with natural nude shades, allowing you to create an image that is relevant in any situation.

To increase the resistance of the coating, ladies can use different gel polishes. Such compositions polymerize in the ultraviolet range. In order for the coating to freeze, it is placed for some time under the light of a special lamp. The time it takes for a surface to become hard may vary from 10–20 seconds to several minutes, depending on the power of the lamps.

Doing a manicure at home, you must follow some basic rules of nail care. Be sure to remove the remnants of the old coating, process and remove excess skin, saw off the free edge so that it is even and of the desired length. The surface of the nail plate must be polished and you can start painting. This can be done with the help of hand tools or a special typewriter.

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 aids may be required, which are best always available.

• 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 file needed 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 varnish.
• Orange Stick and Cuticle Softener Gel can 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.
• Degreaser to 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 drastically change long nails for short ones, nail scissors are used to speed things up. 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.
• Another interesting fact: when working, the 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 this 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.

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 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 with a healing 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.
