An important and simply necessary procedure for the health of nails is a manicure. To protect your nails from external influences, and just to give them an aesthetic appearance, it is necessary to cover them with a protective agent or varnish. But all the manipulations that a professional master performs in a beauty salon can be done by yourself at home. This will not require much effort, especially since many girls prefer to take care of their nails on their own.
To perform a manicure at home, you need to have the required minimum of tools. Their list includes: a small bath or a medium-sized cup, sea salt, a wooden stick to move the cuticle, manicure scissors and a nail file. In addition, you can purchase fluid to soften and remove the cuticle. Before making a nail tray with warm water and salt, you will need to remove the remaining varnish with a special liquid that should not contain acetone. A list of these tools will allow you to make a manicure at home with your own hands.
Begin by cleansing the nails with nail polish remover, if it was previously applied. Then disinfect all the tools that will be used. So, warm water is poured into the bath or cup and sea salt is poured, which should dissolve. Then about 15 minutes you need to hold your fingers in salt water. Its strengthening effect will have a beneficial effect on nails. This procedure also helps soften the cuticle. Then it can easily be moved away with a wooden stick, which will not damage the nail plate.
With the help of special forceps, the cuticle is very easily removed; liquid can also be used for these purposes, but this is already a matter of taste and habit. All these simple manipulations will make manicure at home a very simple task, which will be done with pleasure.
After removing the cuticle, the nails should be given the desired shape with a nail file. In order to avoid damage to the nail plates, they need to be filed in one direction, this will save them from delamination. Next, the manicure of the house continues with decorating the nails with a beautiful varnish. All the work done prepares for its application. Many girls neglect the use of a base for varnish, although it lays on it evenly and lasts longer. In addition, the base protects the nails from the negative effects of varnish in case of not very good quality. So, to begin to varnish nails should be with the little finger. First, carry out a brush in the center, and then on the sides.
For accuracy, the excess is removed with cotton swabs dipped in nail polish remover. To keep the varnish for a long time, it is necessary to cover it with a fixative. When it dries, you need to apply a moisturizing or nourishing cream to your hands.
