If you hold the magnet closer to the nail, there will be a clear line, further away it will be blurry.

If you bring a magnet first vertically and then horizontally, there will be a bright point.

Gel polish - made with ordinary varnish

2. Craquelure design. A new product, hard varnish, has appeared on the product market. This is a special cracking varnish that is applied to the dried previous layer.

Substrates made of gold, white, and black varnish look good. Crack polish dries quickly. It can be thinned like regular varnish.

If you apply it in a thick layer, it will crack into large pieces. If in a thin layer - into small ones. You can combine it: make one side of the nail with large fragments, and the other with small ones.

Craquelure - large, medium, small.

3. Velvet design. The varnish for this effect is called “Satin”. After drying it becomes matte, hiding all the unevenness of the nail.

If you apply a top coat on it, it becomes shiny, like regular varnish. You can make two nails shiny and leave the rest matte. This design looks good in dark or bright colors. On pastel colors it is almost invisible.

4. Leopard design. On a dried substrate (for example, coffee-au-lait color), uneven spots are applied with a brush with a slightly darker (beige) varnish and, without waiting for them to dry, a black dot is added to each spot. Using an orange stick, each dot is given the appearance of a comma.

The third line is drawn simple along the previous one. The fourth is drawn with a thickening on the other side. The fifth is simple.

You can draw with a regular black gel pen. When the drawing is dry, simply seal it with topcoat. One zebra nail looks good, the rest are white.

Nails with rhinestones and bouillons

Decorate two nails, tightly covering them with rhinestones of different sizes.. Swarovski rhinestones are suitable; they can be purchased in a set. The largest stone is placed in the center, closer to the cuticle. Near it on both sides there are smaller stones.

The smallest stones are placed on the edge of the nail. The space between large stones can be filled with golden broths. On the remaining nails, place one small stone in the center near the cuticle.

Pencil for rhinestones

Place stones on wet varnish. The stone is taken by simply bringing an orange stick moistened with water or a special pencil for rhinestones to it and it sticks to it (there are special pencils for attaching rhinestones on sale). It is placed on fresh varnish, corrected, trimmed, it sticks to the varnish and releases the stick.

Sterilizing instruments at home

IN nail salons Instrument sterilization is carried out in a dry-heat oven.

Manicure tools

At home, you can use the oven for these purposes. Place metal tools in a specially designated bowl, turn on the oven at 250 degrees and heat for 15 minutes.

If during the procedure a wound was caused and blood came out, the instrument is soaked in the solution before sterilization chlorhexidine or wiped three times with 70% alcohol(in the presence of special pharmaceuticals , it is better to carry out processing with them, according to the instructions).

Files and orange sticks can also be soaked in a disinfectant solution. But if there was no blood while working with them, it is enough to wipe them.

Below you can watch a detailed video about sterilizing manicure instruments; some information will be useful to you at home.

What pharmaceutical products may be useful?

In addition to chlorhexidine, you can buy hawthorn tincture 70% in the pharmacy. This alcohol solution can be used as a disinfectant.

You may also need it glue BF-6. This is a medical glue for treating wounds. It is convenient for cuts, disinfects and seals the wound instead of a band-aid.

Good to have on hand for warts "Mountain celandine", Brown herbal balm. If a wart is discovered during the manicure procedure, you can immediately cauterize it with this balm.

Baths and oils for strengthening and growing nails after manicure

To keep nails healthy, they need to be nourished and treated. The aggressive environment makes them thin and brittle, appear on them. To avoid this, it is good to do it with sea salt.

You don’t have to buy expensive sea salt; the kind sold in grocery stores will do. You can add it during manicure to steam your nails.

In the process of saturating the nails with such water, a phenomenon called osmosis. This is an exchange of salts between two environments. Nails, like appendages of the skin, are an excretory organ. Nail effusion emerges through microscopic holes on the surface of the nail.

After taking a course of antibiotics, it is formed very actively, without giving artificial nails stick to the nail bed.

That is why after taking antibiotics, two weeks must pass before nail extensions. Those who spent a lot of time in sea water on vacation notice improvements in the condition of their nails. Baths do not have to be done for a long time. 15 minutes is enough.

This procedure can be carried out in the evening while watching TV. After the bath, hands are lubricated with nourishing cream. The best creams are with fruit oils . This could be avocado, aloe, or apricot oil. Just don't confuse them with essential oils

. This is a completely different product. If the cream says that it contains mineral oil , it is better not to buy such a cream.

This is a product of chemical distillation of petroleum. It won't be good for your nails.

You can always look beautiful, you just need to get used to it. Women who once discovered gel polish rarely return to it. regular manicure . Beautiful appearance

and the durability of the coating make it indispensable for busy ladies. If you follow the technique, your nails will be gone for three or even four weeks.

Beautiful manicure

Today, equipment and products for manicure are available to everyone. It's just a matter of little things - study the sequence of coating nails with gel polish and you can start applying.

What you need for a manicure

At home, you need the same products that are used in salons.

• For manicure you will need:
• dehydrator;

base, color and top coat.

Applying base coat

Today you can buy gel polish in different price categories. When choosing a base and top, do not skimp, since the durability of the manicure depends on them.

Choosing a lamp

There are two types of lamps on the market – LED and UF. The sequence of applying gel polish does not depend on them, but the drying time of the nail plate does. For manicures at home, UF lamps are most often purchased, since they are much cheaper. Among the disadvantages are the long drying time and the need to change light bulbs. However, this does not affect the quality of the coating in any way.

UV lamp

An LED lamp will cost several times more. It does not require replacement elements. In addition, the hardening time is much shorter - about 10 seconds. In addition to the high cost, the disadvantages of LED lamps include the fact that they are not suitable for some types of varnishes. home use It is better to opt for a UF lamp. The main condition is high power of the device.

Preparation for application

Any manicure should begin with treating the nail plate and removing the cuticle. To do this, dip your fingers in warm water, then carefully cut off the cuticle or push it back with a spatula.

Then we give the nails the required form and process them using a sanding file. It is better to choose an abrasive buff to remove the gloss. This will ensure a better connection to the base.

The sequence of gel polish coating includes treating the nails with a degirator. It is applied with lint-free wipes. This way we remove excess fat and moisture. As a last resort, you can use them, but they are very drying and can even affect the final color.

It is not necessary to use a primer at home. If you want to comply with the rules as much as possible, then apply it after treating with a degreaser.

Application process step by step

Remembering the sequence of a gel polish manicure is quite simple. It uses a base, colored varnish and finish.

1. First you need to apply it to your nails base coat. Use a quality base and you won't have to worry about how long your gel polish will last. The base also provides additional protection against color pigment. It must be applied in a thin layer so that voids do not form. It is better to leave just a little product on the brush and carefully distribute it, starting from the tip of the nail. We seal the end. If gel polish gets on the skin, remove it using wooden stick. Then dry it in a lamp for 2 - 3 minutes (10 seconds if it is an LED lamp).
2. The color layer must be applied in the same way. Make sure that the product does not spread around the edges, otherwise unevenness will form. Dry the gel polish in a lamp. Typically, for a high-quality coating it is necessary to apply 2 - 3 layers. Each of them is dried separately. Do not remove the sticky layer of colored varnish.
3. The manicure sequence includes the application of a finishing agent. The top, like the base, seals the edge of the nail. The finish can be applied in a slightly thicker layer, but it also takes a little longer to dry. Remove the sticky layer using a degreaser. Once completed, use cuticle oil.

Popular techniques for nail design

If you are doing a manicure at home, do not immediately use a complex design. Learn how to work with basic colors, after which you can begin to learn additional techniques.

Today, two main methods are at the peak of popularity:

• gradient;
• broken glass effect.

Use the instructions that explain step by step how to make an unusual nail design.

Gradient

In order to create on your nails, you will need a sponge, brush or sponge. Before starting application, repeat the same steps as for a standard manicure. We remove the cuticles, polish the nails, use a degreaser and apply a base coat.

• Visually divide the nail into upper and lower parts. Carefully spread one color of varnish on the bottom, the other on top. Press the sponge quickly a few times to blend the shades. You can also use a brush. Dry the layer in a lamp.
• In another method, varnish of two colors is distributed on a sponge or sponge, and then pressed against the surface of the nail. Excess product is removed.

Types of coating using gradient technique

If you don't succeed right away, don't despair. To get started, you can practice on paper.

Shards

This design uses holographic particles that have a fairly dense structure and create the effect of broken glass. The beginning of a manicure is exactly the same as in other techniques. Once you have applied the base and color polish, seal decorative elements on a sticky layer. Distribute them one at a time, preferably using tweezers or a rhinestone pencil.

Important! Try not to use too many large particles on the side of the nail. The finishing layer may not completely cover them.

Top coat is the final step. After this, remove the sticky layer and you can enjoy the finished manicure.

Technique shrapnel (broken glass)

What determines the service life of the coating?

If , this means you have sanded the plate too much. Chips can occur due to a poor-quality base. If the ends are poorly sealed, already on the second day you may experience the varnish coming off the nail.

Follow the consistency of the technique, and the coating will last you 3 to 4 weeks. The advantage of gel polish is that, if desired, you can change the design if you carefully remove upper layer and apply a different color.

A beautiful manicure is not only a stage of basic nail care, but also an important hygiene procedure. Edged manicure is in demand, despite the popularity of European and Japanese unedged techniques. Classic manicure allows you to keep your nails in perfect condition for 2 weeks without additional care.

Trim manicure is a classic type of nail care that involves removing the cuticle from the surface of the nail folds. The procedure is carried out with preliminary steaming of the keratinized layers of skin around the nail in warm water, which is why this method is called “wet” manicure.

Classic trim manicure is done in the same ways for both men and women.

A classic manicure prepares your nails for further application of any coating. Trim manicure is carried out even when the nails are in poor condition. Treating your hands with nourishing products after a session is comparable to spa treatments, because it has a positive effect on the surface of the nail and cuticle.

Advantages of the method

Trim manicure is a classic manicure method.

Compared to other types of nail care, it has many advantages:

1. Efficiency. By trimming the cuticle, your nails retain their presentable appearance much longer.
2. Execution speed. Full procedure A classic manicure takes no more than 30 minutes.
3. Versatility. Trim manicure has no contraindications. It can be done by both men and women.
4. Additional hand care. Using baths with useful components has a positive effect on the skin of the hands and strengthens the nail plate.
5. Manicure can be combined with other caring procedures, for example, paraffin therapy or peeling.
6. The procedure is carried out not only in salons, but also at home, subject to mastery of the technique.

Flaws

The main disadvantage of trimmed manicure is the possibility of skin damage during cuticle removal. In this regard, many clients abandon the classic manicure in favor of the European one.

Improper handling of instruments can lead to HIV or hepatitis infection. Therefore, some people prefer to perform trimmed manicures themselves in order to monitor the quality of disinfection of manicure accessories.

Nail service specialists do not recommend getting a manicure if:

• inflammation of nails and nail folds;
• fungal diseases;
• wounds and cuts;
• decreased blood clotting;
• diabetes mellitus

Differences from hardware manicure, European

Hardware manicure is performed with a special device with a set of various attachments designed to treat the nail and cuticle. This device is used in beauty salons, since working with it requires professional skill.

It is suitable for various types coatings, including gel polish. A manicure takes less time, and the speed of cuticle regrowth will allow you to schedule the next session no earlier than in 2 months.

When performing a hardware manicure, you do not need to soften the cuticle in the bath in advance, but only lubricate it with a special gel, and then remove it with one of the attachments of the device. Polishing the nail plate and length correction is also performed by the device in a few seconds.

The disadvantage of this method is its pain. Due to the high speed of the mechanism, it is possible discomfort due to nearby nerve endings in the nail. Therefore, you should not purchase a device for hardware manicure to use it at home.

European manicure is a method of nail care without the use of scissors and clippers.

When executing it:

• The length of the nail is adjusted using files;
• the cuticle is not removed, but softened, and then pushed to the edge with a pusher or an orange tree stick;
• The possibility of infection from a poorly processed instrument is practically excluded.

Its main disadvantage is that to maintain a presentable appearance, it is necessary to constantly moisturize the cuticle with cream or oil. For this reason, the service life of European manicure is short. It needs to be updated after 5-7 days. Trimming manicure is considered the most universal method, which allows you to quickly and painlessly give your hands well-groomed appearance.

Required Tools

Trim manicure, classic version which involves removing dead skin from the nail folds, requires a certain set of tools. They are used to polish nails, shape them and trim cuticles.

Basic accessories for trim manicure:

The hardness of the file should be selected depending on the thickness of the nail and the desired functional use. To correct the length, a tool with an abrasiveness of 200-400 grit is suitable, and for polishing a hardness of 900-1200 grit is sufficient.

It is best to choose ceramic, plastic or glass files. They carefully file the nail without damaging the plate. You should not purchase metal files, which lead to delamination and brittleness of the nail.

To apply drawings and create nail designs, you will need additional tools:

1. Dots are a metal or plastic stick with a spherical tip for depicting dots and circles.
2. Brushes of different thicknesses - for drawing details and completing french manicure.
3. Stamps and plates with designs (stamping kit) – for applying ready-made images to the nail.

Covering the nail involves applying varnish of one or more colors, a base for the varnish and a fixative. Sometimes a liquid is used to quickly dry the varnish, but in the case of a regular coating it may not be useful.

It is also necessary to have acetone to remove any remaining polish from your nails. To care for the skin of your hands after completing the procedure, you will need cream and cuticle oil.

Execution technology: step-by-step lesson for beginners with photos

Those who decide to master the technology of classic manicure should remember that to achieve desired result practice is important. After the 5th session, the skill will be developed sufficiently so that you are not afraid of damaging the nail plate.

It is important to study in detail the sequence of each step and be extremely careful when working with tools. A trimmed manicure done at home will not only save money, but also eliminate the risk of infection.

Before you start working, you need to organize your workspace. It is enough to lay out a towel or napkin on the table, and also take care of good lighting.

Even if one person uses a set of manicure tools, it is necessary to disinfect it with alcohol or an antiseptic before the session. They should also treat their hands, especially the cuticle area.

Step 1: Removing the Coating

Depending on the type of coating, various manicure removers are used. Regular varnish can be removed with acetone or its mixture with glycerin.

Some people prefer to use removers that do not contain acetone, but they do not always cope with thick coatings or varnish with added glitter.

Step 2: Creating a Nail Shape

Correction of nail length is carried out using scissors and a file. The movement of the scissors should be sharp and clear in order to remove the overgrown edge in one movement. This technique does not violate the integrity of the nail plate and does not lead to delamination. Nails should be filed at an angle of 90°, without chaotic movements. The tool should be directed in one direction - from left to right.

It is better to start the process from the edges of the nail, and finish it by filing its middle. First you need to treat the nails of the little fingers, gradually moving towards the big fingers.

After adjusting the length, you should place the file under the nail and make a few more movements with it to remove possible nicks.

When picked up desired shape and the length of the nails, the plates should be treated with a polishing buff to give them shine and shine. This step also helps the varnish finish smoother. It is important to perform these steps on completely dry hands, otherwise your nails may begin to peel.

Step 3: Steaming

To soften the cuticle, you need to make a nail bath. Sea salt or other components that strengthen the nail plate are dissolved in warm water. If there is dirt, you can add a little soap.

The steaming procedure should not last more than 5 minutes, as this time is enough to soften the skin. When the cuticle is steamed, you should treat the surface of the nail, as well as the area under it, with a brush. Dry your hands with a cotton or paper towel so that no moisture remains on them.

Step 4: Cuticle Work

Before trimming the skin, you need to push back the edges of the cuticle with a pusher. This is a double-ended instrument with a round and sharp tip. The round side is used to treat the skin below the nail hole, and the pointed edge pushes the cuticle away from the side ridges of the nail.

You need to work with a pusher extremely carefully, without pressing on the nail, as the tool can damage its surface and lead to scratches and microcracks.

When the cuticle no longer adheres to the nail, it needs to be trimmed with clippers. To avoid damaging the skin, the movement of the instrument must be continuous and confident. If you do not follow this rule, hangnails may appear. To avoid cuts, do not grab too large an area of ​​the cuticle with the nippers.

Step 5: Nail Covering

To protect and even out the nail, you need to apply a base before applying varnish. Next, varnish is applied. You need to start coating on the left side of the nail, and with 3 strokes of the brush, completely paint the entire area of ​​the plate.

Finally, a fixative is applied to give the nails shine and protect them from chipping. The last stage of a classic manicure is the application of hand cream and cuticle oil.

Classic dry manicure with gel polish: features, technique

Trim manicure is a classic method of nail care, in which the skin of the hands is pre-steamed in warm water. This technology is not always used before applying gel polish. Instead of softening the cuticle with water, use a gel to remove it.

It is applied to the nail folds and after the specified time, the cuticle is pushed back to the edges of the nail with a pusher or an orange stick. Therefore, this method of manicure is called dry. Compared to by usual means, gel polish (or shellac) lasts from 2 to 4 weeks, and the technique of applying it has its own characteristics.

Set of tools for work:

• fine-grained buff;
• cuticle pusher or orange stick;
• cuticle softening gel;
• lint-free wipes;
• degreaser;
• primer;
• base;
• gel polish;
• gel polish remover;
• finish(top);
• foil;
• sticky layer remover;
• cuticle oil;
• Ultraviolet lamp;
• cotton pads.

After shaping the nails and processing the cuticles, it is necessary to sand the nail plate with a buff.

Then the nails need to be degreased using a lint-free cloth, primer and base coat are applied. After applying each layer, dry your nails under the light of an ultraviolet lamp.

When choosing a lamp for baking gel polish, you need to pay attention to the features of UV and LED devices. They differ not only in the sealing time of the varnish, but also in other characteristics.

Lamp type	UV	LED
Power	36 W	3 W
Drying time	180 sec	60 sec
Gel polish drying time	2-3 min	30-60 sec
Life time	6 months (lamp replacement)	50,000 hours

Cover the nails with colored varnish in 2-3 layers, also drying each of them with ultraviolet light. Typically, drying takes no more than 2 minutes, depending on the manufacturer of the gel polish. It is important to lubricate the end parts of the nail well so that the manicure lasts longer without peeling or chipping.

The coating is fixed with a finishing agent, and then the sticky layer is removed using a napkin. This step promotes adhesion of all applied layers to each other. The last step of the session is to oil the skin around the nail. If handled correctly, a manicure coated with gel polish will last about 3 weeks. This period also depends on the speed of nail growth.

During manicure correction, the previous coating is removed, which is also done differently than with the classic trimming method. To do this, you need to thoroughly moisten a cotton pad with gel polish remover, apply the disc to the nail and wrap each of them with foil.

After 15 minutes, massage the nail plate and remove the foil and cotton wool. The remaining coating is carefully removed with a pusher.

French manicure with shellac

French manicure is one of the most popular types. This is a classic manicure and will suit any situation. French involves painting the tip of the nail with white varnish, and applying a neutral shade to the remaining nail plate: beige, pink or clear nail polish.

The processing of plates is carried out in the classical way. It is not necessary to use a buffer for this type of coating, since shellac has excellent adhesive properties. Apply a thin layer of primer and base to oil-free nails, and then dry them under a lamp.

Then apply the colored coating and bake it for 1 minute. Use white shellac to paint the tip of the nail. This should be done in 2 layers, not forgetting to dry the nails under ultraviolet light. A top coat completes the French manicure procedure.

How to avoid hangnails

Hangnails are particles of skin that have peeled off on the surface of the nail fold.

They can appear for several reasons:

1. Dry cuticles caused by overuse of harsh chemicals found in detergents.
2. Incorrect technique for performing trim manicure. Cuticle removal should be done smoothly and continuously to avoid ragged edges.
3. Filing nails from side to side, as well as using metal files.
4. Poor circulation caused by aging processes.

Hangnails bring discomfort, and often inflammation and abscess appear in their place.

Following a few steps will help prevent their occurrence: important rules:

1. Mandatory use of rubber gloves when working with any type of household chemicals.
2. Technically correct execution trim manicure with a well-sharpened tool.
3. Using oils and creams to moisturize the skin around the nail.
4. Massage cuticles and nail folds to improve blood flow. You can do it yourself.

To achieve a positive effect, self-massage should be done 2-3 times a day. It will take no more than 3 minutes. The massage should begin with light stroking of the hand, and gradually move on to kneading the fingers. It is enough to repeat this action 4-6 times.

Rubbing the phalanges of the fingers is the main element of self-massage. To do this, you need to clench your hands into fists and alternately rub the phalanges against each other. The massage ends with application nourishing cream.

Lesson No. 3 - “How to properly do manicures for clients (edged, euro, combined)”

A professional manicure requires the attention of your eyes. We start by determining the type of cuticle, so you will understand what type of manicure your client needs.

Types of cuticles and corresponding manicure:

Normal cuticle type- very easy to remove, the skin is not over-dried, a combined manicure is ideal for this type (in the future the client can be transferred to a European manicure).

- it resembles film. has a translucent appearance, very soft, you need to be careful with it, since this type is often accompanied by close capillaries. If a client comes to you with exactly this type of cuticle, you should do the first manicure with a trimmed one, and then only a combined one, you don’t need to injure it, so it will stop growing so much over time (perhaps the first manicure with this level of neglect will be accompanied by bleeding, not You need to be scared, the longer the cuticle is neglected, the closer the capillaries grow to it).

- this type of cuticle hardly grows, but it needs to be maintained in order; with this type, the area of ​​the lateral ridges often grows the most. European manicure is ideal in in this case, but if suddenly there is still a little cuticle on one of your fingers, you wash it off.

The next stage of your work is to move on to the technology of performing a hygienic procedure - manicure, follow the instructions, each type of manicure is described step by step.

Nail structure:

Types of professional manicure, how a novice master can learn how to do it:

Trim manicure manicure technology:

During a trim manicure, the cuticle and growing skin on the rollers are removed with tools and cut off. This type of manicure is considered harmful and unhygienic due to the fact that it is performed with one tool, but as you understand, this depends only on the conscience of the master and his disinfecting methods.

Disinfection is the basis of your work - a guarantee of health for the client and you!

To make a trim manicure you will use the following tools and materials:

Tools:

1. Nail and cuticle nippers;
2. Cuticle scissors;
3. Pusher or orange stick;
4. Nail buff;
5. Dust sweeper.

Material:

1. Disinfectors;
2. Remover;
3. Disposable wipes;
4. Gloves;
5. Mask;
6. Bath;
7. Filler;
8. Cuticle oil;
9. Hand cream.

Learning how to do a trim manicure:

1. In the first lesson, you learned that all services begin with disinfection of hands (yours and the client’s), as well as tools in front of the client. Put on gloves after disinfection and don’t forget about the mask, but you may find it inconvenient, but believe me, this is important, protect yourself from allergies.
   
2. Finish the free edge with a nail file and give it the shape the client wants. You need to use a file strictly before you soak your nails or after, but your nails should already be completely dry and hard. If you need to remove the length or trim the sides of your nails, first use nail clippers. It is important to remember that you can use nail clippers to trim your nails when they are steamed and become softer. It is not advisable to bite your nails dry, as this will lead to peeling. Remove the film of the nail that will remain on the end after filing with a buff, just grind the nail from top to bottom. Remove dust from the nails with a sweeping brush.
3. Take a pusher or a stick, lightly push back the cuticle and apply remover (when doing a trim manicure, using remover is not essential, but it saves a lot of time and will remove most of the soft materials, so we recommend that you don’t skimp in this case, use it).
   
4. Dip the client's hands, or rather fingers, into the warm bath. This type cuticles soak for 5-7 minutes (with softening gel).
5. Remove your finger from the bath and wipe it, but not dry, it should remain moist. Push back the cuticle all the way, but don't overdo it. There is no need to press down on the pusher, as this can damage the nail and disrupt its growth. Try to guide the pusher almost parallel to the nail. Check if you removed the film well with a buff.
6. Take the scissors and carefully, using only one smooth cut, continuously remove the cuticle. You should not throw the cuticle sheet, cut it step by step like a tailor, without interruption, otherwise you will get burrs.
   
7. Using pliers, remove the skin from the side rolls. Do not let the cuticle stick to the blades; to remove it during operation, simply lower them into the bath for a couple of seconds.
8. Apply oil to the cuticles and cream to the skin of the hands. After this, you can proceed to coating. If the systems are gel, then the oil and cream are applied after coating. Why do you need to smear your cuticles with oil?— oil helps the cuticle tighten faster and take on a beautiful, well-groomed appearance; some types have a disinfectant or affect nail growth.
9. Tidy it up workplace and tools.
   

The period between trimming manicures is individual, it all depends on the client’s body, the average is from one to two weeks.

Combined manicure technology:

The name of this type of manicure speaks for itself - it is a combination of 2 typologies (European + edged). In order to learn how to make it you need to have the following tool and material:

Material:

1. Disinfectors (for tools and hands);
2. Cuticle remover;
3. Cuticle oil;
4. Hand cream;
5. Bath filler ( sea ​​salt, cream, etc.).

Tools:

1. Pumice pencil for cuticles;
2. Wire cutters;
3. Cuticle scissors;
4. File for natural nails;
5. Buff for natural nails;
6. Dust sweeper;
7. Disposable wipes;
8. Mask for the face;
9. Gloves;
10. Bath.

Learning how to do a combined manicure:

1. Your first step ALWAYS and with every service should be disinfection! Treat the client's hands and then yourself, put on gloves and a mask. Treat the instrument with a spray in front of the client (and after it in the same way, but using the device).
   
2. Take a natural nail file and shape the nails (the free edge of the nail) into the shape the client requests. Sweep away any remaining dust. Don't forget to sweep away the dust with a brush.
3. Take a tool to push back the cuticle (a pusher or an orange stick, whichever is more convenient for you). Start with right hand client, why it doesn’t matter. Lightly, carefully push back the cuticles and apply the remover. Leave it on for a few seconds.
   
4. Immerse the client's hands in the bath of filler for 4 minutes. Remember, with a remover the cuticle gets wet faster, so you should not, under any circumstances, keep the visitor’s fingers in the water.
5. Remove the client's first finger from the bath and lightly blot it with a napkin. Take an orange stick and push back the cuticle completely, using it to remove the film that was under the cuticle from the nail. After filing, a film may remain on the nails; remove it with an orange stick (just swipe along the free edge from one side to the other).
6. Take your cuticle scissors and remove the cuticle from start to finish, you should do this in one cut.
7. Take a pumice cuticle pencil and dip it in the bath. The pumice pencil should only touch the skin, not the nail. Be careful near the nail sinuses, a pumice pencil can seriously damage the nail plate. Remember - the pumice pencil should always be wet! Carefully treat the cuticle with it, from its center, first in one direction, then in the other. For a combined manicure, a pumice pencil serves as a polisher for the cuticle, removing its remnants and straightening the cut after scissors.
8. Take the nippers and remove excess skin from the side sinuses and rollers (if necessary). Sand the cuts with a pumice pencil.

10. Apply cuticle oil to your cuticles and rub it in lightly. Apply the cream to the skin of your hands and distribute it with massage movements. If you plan to apply a coating, then you can apply the cream under regular polish before coating, but you must first degrease your nails before applying it. If gel polish, then strictly after. Why apply hand cream?- hand cream is a compliment on your part, it will give your hands a well-groomed look, make your skin velvety, and present your work with the highest point of professionalism.
    
11. Clean up your work area and disinfect your tools.

The period between combined manicures does not differ from trimming, however, if you are giving a client a manicure with the aim of converting it to European, then in no case should you wait for the cuticle to completely grow back; the client should arrive at the beginning of the euro exchange rate after 4-5 days. Warn the client that the first 4 times of a European manicure will need to be done with a short break, but each time the cuticle will slow down its growth and he will not have to come to you so often.

Euro manicure technology:

European manicure is performed without the use of a cutting tool, only with an orange stick and a pumice pencil. There is a secret: with a European manicure, the basis of your high-quality result is the remover.

Tools:

1. Pumice pencil;
2. Pusher or orange sticks;
3. Bath;
4. File for natural nails;

Material:

1. Gloves and mask;
2. Sea salt;
3. Remover;
4. Cuticle cream and oil;

Learning how to do a European manicure:

European manicure is useful because it is absolutely harmless from a hygiene point of view, and the most valuable thing is that it slows down the growth of the cuticle. The first time, while the cuticle adapts to this type of removal, it will be necessary for the client to come every 4-5 days; if the cuticle grows longer, then it will need to be removed and the euro exchange rate will need to be changed again.
