Layfkhaki for manicure

Well-groomed hands are hard to imagine today without elegant nail designs. If you visit a professional salon, the master, of course, knows how to make a neat and beautiful nail art. However, not everyone has the opportunity to regularly visit specialists. In order to make a manicure at home correctly, there are many recommendations and life hacking.

First of all, you need to learn to paint your nails with your hands gently, without smearing the skin around the nails, without touching the cuticle. This will help in this knowledge of the technique of proper coverage, which includes the following rules:

• always clean and degrease the coating, do not use after this hand cream;
• process dead cuticle;

• Always apply the initial droplet just above the cuticle line, only then lower the brush down;
• the next step is to stretch a drop along the line of the nail up exactly along the line and on the sides;
• do not press on the brush, movements should be neat, smooth, unsharp;

• do not apply the next layer until the previous one has dried;
• choose a high-quality viscous coating with a comfortable brush that does not spread;
• squeeze the brush before applying;
• for painting nail plates "under the cuticle", use a special thin brush.

There are many additional assistants who will help to make up nails and not to go beyond the edges. It is worth considering them in more detail.

• First of all - it's scotch. If you want to create patterns with it, prepare templates in advance; if the target is a neat coating, three strips for each nail are enough. For these purposes, you need a narrow type of tape: stationery, painting, electrical tape. Glue the stripes on the sides and at the end, press it properly, as if framing the nail. After you can begin to apply varnish.

• Special correctors-markerswhich are sold in professional stores. The core of this corrector is saturated with varnish remover. With the help of such an assistant, you can immediately remove any miss.

• Special protection in the form of stickers can also be purchased in the nail market. They attach around the nail to the skin and protect it from accidental nail polish.

• Means that are applied around the nail: hand cream is the most nutritious and greasy, petroleum jelly, PVA glue. They should be placed with a cotton swab on the skin after removal of the coating to remove the sponge.

• Skin defender - This is a professional tool that is sufficient to apply to the skin and allow it to dry. The resulting film after the manicure is easily removed along with the varnish on it.

It is not enough just to apply varnish, it is important that the coating was very smooth. At home, you can achieve a smooth nail plate, if you know a few secrets of applying varnish. It is necessary that the varnish was as close as possible near the cuticle, otherwise it will give the impression that the nail has already grown. In order for the surface to be smooth, observe the following basic rules:

• Do not allow moisturizing and other fat-containing products to get on your nails;
• the nail must be dry, the wet plate may peel off, in addition, it is difficult to notice the pterygium, which must be removed completely;
• In no case do not apply varnish on the folded nails, scales should not be; in this case, you must either nail the nails, or strengthen them with a primer, base coat, soft gel, acrylic powder.

The nail looks smooth when the color is applied on the entire surface, the shape of the nail is visually correct, and the nail bed is aligned. To achieve this will help several life hacking from professional artists.

• Aligns the nail bed with soft gel or base. The technique is as follows: one should cover the nails with any of these products and dry, then another layer, thinner, which is no longer drying; We apply a drop of the product in the center, push it apart with a brush at the edges, keep the nail in an inverted state, then dry it.
• "Under the cuticle" - figurative expression, in any case, it should not be. In addition, the rollers also need to be processed, otherwise a beautiful disclosure of the nail will not work. The easiest way to do this is a special device for manicure.
• Be sure to adjust the shape of the plate.. The flat type of the nail is corrected with acrylic powder, wide - leaving thin loose stripes on the sides.

You can make a manicure that lasts as long as possible for yourself. The main thing is to take into account a few recommendations of specialists in nail art.

• Keep track of the length. Too long nails, of course, look spectacular, but in everyday life they are not particularly relevant, and uncomfortable. The longer the nail, the easier it is to damage it.

• Care for the cuticle. This is a very important nuance, because coarse horny skin with lacquer on it will cause it to exfoliate. Use oils, creams, scrubs, move dead skin away with a special wand or remove it in a cut-off way.
• Home manicure often begins with a bath for nails, this is wrong, as for a stable manicure moisture is unacceptable. Take a break between the spa treatment and the cover; wiping your hands is not enough. The nail plate in warm baths soaks, it takes time for it to shrink. If you do not wait for time, the varnish will crack very quickly.
• Use the base. It provides an excellent coupling between the pigment and the plate. This is a very important intermediate layer that protects the nails and allows the design to remain in its original form for a long time. If the coating most often peels off at the edge of the nail, try to apply an extra layer of base to the edge.

• Do not save on varnishes. Use products from proven, reputable brands. The consistency of the “right” product should be of medium thickness, take out the brush and allow a drop to form. If it takes a second - the varnish will spread, if more than 4 seconds - it is too thick and dries quickly.
• Enough two-layer application of any coating. The more layers, the less durable your manicure will be. Be sure to maintain the drying time between coats. First, let the base dry, then apply the pigment, let it dry, proceed to the second layer, they should all be thin.

• Do not forget the top coverage. This layer will perfectly fix your design and protect against external aggression.
• Remember about safety measures. Wear gloves when in contact with water and chemicals.
• Make a correction in time. Manicure should be updated regularly. Moisturize hands daily, periodically update the top cover.

If it is not possible to update the design every few weeks, you can rely on such compositions, in which the growth of nails is not so noticeable.There are so-called long-playing types of nail art. With their nails for a long time look well-groomed, and the growth is almost imperceptible.

• Reverse french This actual lunar method of manicure is not only very unusual and creative, but also very practical. It is enough to leave the holes in their original form so that the manicure looks fresh for a long time. If the beginning of the nails is decorated in color, you can just tint it as it grows.

• Fashionable geometry. This type of design is incredibly popular today, because it fits perfectly in almost any image. The practicality of geometry lies in the fact that you can arrange stripes, triangles or squares in any order and anywhere on the nail plate. The randomness of geometry creates the illusion of a fresh design for a very long time.

• Dot minimalism. Another hit of the season is minimalism, points in it play practically the main role. Here the same principle works as with geometry - randomness, the absence of rules for the location of points allows experimenting. Nude coating and a few points in the middle of the nail, even after a month can look very neat.

• Half design. The chip of this method is to leave part of the nail intact. The pigment is applied only on half of the plate and is decorated on request. The principle of longevity of such a manicure is the same as that of the moon - the beginning of the nail remains unpainted.

• Nude style. This elegant trend in the spirit of minimalism allows for a very long time to admire the almost imperceptible design. Nail art specialists predict incredible popularity for future seasons with nude coating.

First of all, you need to understand why this is happening and not allow the varnish to deteriorate in this way. The varnish contains liquids that evaporate over time, the varnish thickens, and then dries. However, the human factor can be considered a frequent cause. Improper storage and use, temperature fluctuations can spoil the varnish in a short time. It is worth adhering to the following recovery methods:

• If this trouble has already occurred, you can use professional thinners, if you can buy them; just use a few drops to make your favorite cover delight you with its quality for a long time;

• if there is no thinner at hand, you can use a transparent varnish, although this method will prolong the life of the varnish by just one coating;
• acetone-containing liquids are the most common and simple method, but, unfortunately, the lacquer diluted in this way will not last long, chips and cracks will appear; half a bottle is enough to take one-fourth teaspoon of nail polish remover;

• the use of increasing the temperature copes well with thickened varnish, for this it is enough to dip the bottle in hot water and hold for a few minutes; boiling water is not suitable for this purpose, since the temperature difference is extremely harmful for varnishes, this method is not particularly durable, as the effect will disappear along with the cooling;
• micellar water began to be used quite recently for such purposes, but has already proven itself well; it is enough to pour one spoon of water into the varnish and let it stand, but it is not necessary to shake the bottle;

• if you urgently need to dilute gel-based varnish, none of the above methods will work; You can use any alcohol-containing product - alcohol, vodka, but, unfortunately, you can often not use this method, the quality of varnish is significantly reduced.

There are other secrets of home manicure so that the nails do not break, but The coating has kept its fresh and effective look for a long time, namely:

• When starting to apply the coating, always start with the right hand, despite the fact that it is more difficult; if you are left-handed, start painting with your left; it is better to use all the attention and patience in a more complex process;

• thin coating of lacquer is recommended; the less money on the brush, the easier it is to apply;
• Avoid applying a base on the skin, cover all the ends with a base and pigment, strengthen the nail plate regularly;
• on yellow nails, the coating is less durable, since some amount of pigment has been soaked into it in the top layer, in this case polish the plates with a buff;

• in order not to blister, in no case do not shake or chatter the bottle before the manicure, just roll the bottle between the palms;
• Avoid coating near heating systems and air conditioners, in this case there is a high probability of uneven coating;
• use special tools for drying or just hold your nails in cold water.
