How long does a manicure and how long does it last?

The rhythm of the life of a modern woman is often honed to the minute. One of the regular procedures for nail care is to perform a manicure. Let's look at the question of time in detail and designate how long it takes to perform one type or another, how long it lasts.

The time spent on manicure will vary depending on the type of procedure. It is important to understand that it consists of step-by-step stages, each of which takes its own time interval. At the same time, there are no hard norms, because in one case a professional takes up the task, in others we perform manicures on our own, without having a certain experience.

This may be a trimmed or unedged version, with or without soaking the nails. In addition, there is a rapid method, the terms of which are compressed from 20 minutes to half an hour. Of course, with this method, the master does not have time to complete the art painting, but in half an hour he removes the cuticle, puts his nails in order and applies a quality coating on them that will decorate the nails for at least two weeks.

On average, manicure stages may take different time duration:

• complete nail preparation with cleansing the cuticle and pterigia may require at least 30-40 minutes;
• the base is applied in a thin layer, sealing the end of the nail plates for about 5-10 minutes;
• dry the base material in a special lamp from 30 seconds to two minutes (depending on the type and power of the device used);
• apply pigmented gel polish on nails with a thin layer in about 5-10 minutes;
• dried coating 30 seconds-2 minutes;
• if necessary, repeat the step with the nail color varnish and sealing for 6-10 minutes and subsequent drying;
• the topcoat is applied for about 5 minutes, dried to two minutes;

Monochrome nail coloring can take about 40 minutes, provided that the nails have a simple design or the time will be spent on the formation of a french smile. On average, the total duration can be an hour or two. If the work is performed by a professional in his field, it may take no more than an hour, provided that the master makes a complex design with artistic painting of accent nails.

The length of the procedure can also be affected by plate extensions. On average, a professional performing a hardware manicure with a build-up takes about 3.5-4 minutes per nail. During this time, the specialist manages to remove the old coating, remove the length, level the arch, sand the nail and clean the cuticle.

We can not ignore the way to perform design. Longer time is spent on hand painting and laying out stones, the slider design allows you to shorten the duration of manicure. If the master uses water design technique, time will increase, because you have to spend it on creating a pattern, its further transfer to the nail and sealing, so that the coating does not come off with the first hand wash.

For an hour, you can perform a simple design. When you need a creative approach, you can not meet this framework.For example, a bubble manicure is done for a very long time, creating the effect of a round gum from thin layers of gel polish. It is not enough for him and two hours of time, because it will have to dry and seal each applied layer.

Dry coating on the nails in different ways. For ordinary varnish, depending on its density and thickness, it may take several minutes. As for gel polishes, they dry for a maximum of two minutes, even if it is a layer with a slider. It is impossible to increase the drying time, because of this coating can take bubbles.

High-quality manicure can keep on the nails without the need for adjustments from two to four weeks. In some cases, clients can walk with a design for up to two or two and a half months. However, the masters repeatedly emphasize that it is extremely undesirable to step over with painted and accrued nails. Correction should be done in approximately two to three weeks from the moment of the manicure.

In order not to harm the durability of the manicure, you should not reduce the basic method. You can not neglect the time of drying, as this leads to rapid peeling of the applied coating. Reduce time by simplifying the design. For example, instead of painting you can use a rub, stemping, slider design. If a manicure is done without design, it takes less time.

Few people thought that we ourselves often reduce manicure wear. To preserve the result for a long time, it is important to listen to the recommendations of a specialist:

• you can not constantly steam out your hands and keep them in hot water for a long time;
• need to protect your fingers from contact with household chemicals;
• it is undesirable to make frequent baths for hands;
• do not knock your nails on a hard surface;
• it is important to apply layers thinly, drying them all the time allotted for this;
• do not forget about the mandatory removal of the dispersion layer after the final sealing of the nails;
• no matter how long the manicure lasts, it is impossible to poorly make the sealing of the butt;

On the first day after applying the varnish, it is important to protect your hands from contact with water: long stay in it contributes to the detachment of varnish. In addition, it is important to initially properly perform manicure. For example, a frequent cause of detachment is the dripping of varnish over the cuticle and side bolsters.
