“You can be an efficient person and think about beautynails "(A. Pushkin" Eugene Onegin ") Agree that well-groomed hands not only decorate us, but also raise our status in the eyes of others. What can I say, beautiful hands are the pride of any woman. And if the shape of brushes and nails given by nature cannot be corrected, then it is within our power to make our well-groomed hands arouse admiring glances. However, modern technologies make it possible to correct even the most unpresentable nails. But this does not mean at all that nail care should be limited to professional procedures. It is also possible to achieve the beauty of nails at home. Believe me, you can always strengthen your nails, keep them healthy and get a good manicure at home. As they say, there would be a desire, but there will be opportunities. Although a manicure is a whole complex of necessary procedures, they do not require any virtuoso skills and specific knowledge. A manicure consists of several stages: removing the old varnish, pushing back the cuticle, filing, deburring and painting the nails with varnish. And additional nail care comes down to systematic baths, compresses and masks. How to get a manicure and how to take proper nail care? Let's figure it out. 
Manicure
Manicure at home begins by removing the oldlacquer with a cotton swab dipped in a solvent. After the varnish has been completely removed from the nails, wash hands thoroughly. The optimum option for such washing is the bath with the addition of softening aromatic oil. It can be lavender, bergamot, peach and other oils. After this hygienic procedure is completed, hands are carefully wiped, dried and begin to polish the nails and create their shape. To do this, you will need a polishing file, nail files, nail clippers, a dull scoop and scissors. It is desirable to have the abrasives abrasive, on a non-metallic basis. Nails should be given the same shape and length, removing the cuticle. To do this, a special remedy is applied to the cuticle area, massage this area a little, and then gently push the cuticle backward. If you perform this procedure regularly, the cuticle grows slower and becomes less noticeable. Cuticles are removed with the help of a dull spatula or a special orange stick. Cut the cuticle should not be - it will accelerate its growth. With regular care of her, she will grow slowly and become less noticeable. After the cuticle is removed, manicure cutters or scissors are cut to the same length edges of all nails, giving them a shape. The next stage of the manicure is the removal of burrs, which is carried out with the help of small tweezers or scissors, after which the nails are polished with a medium-sized file, moving it from the edge of the nail to its middle. The wicker is kept easily. Carefully, by smooth movements, trying to keep the shape of the nail, first process its sides. Then the nail file is sent to the left and to the right along a semicircle, trying not to touch the upper, smooth surface of the nail and the skin at the fingertips. It is better to give the nails an oval shape, since it looks much more attractive and tidy than a too pointed form. After this procedure, the nails should be applied a special gel, which strengthens the nails and makes them smooth and smooth. After the treatment of the nails is finished, hands are rinsed again, wiped with a napkin, apply a nourishing cream and massage lightly, stroking the brushes from the fingertips to the forearm. This manicure can be completed, and if desired, the nails can be applied decorative varnish. Under the color varnish you need to put the base (colorless varnish), which can also be considered a decorative coating, if the protruding edge of the nail is painted with a lighter varnish. After applying a colorless varnish, a colored varnish is applied, the bottle with which is shaken several times. A brush when applying a colored lacquer is dipped in a vial each time, collecting as much lacquer as there is enough for one smear. To lacquer lay flat and smooth, the brush, giving it the shape of a fan, leads from the cuticle to the edge of the nail. Apply the varnish, which should be quite liquid, small careful smears first to the center of the nail, and then to its sides. To the nail was covered evenly, the lateral sections of the nail are painted so that they slightly overlap the central smear. After this, the varnish on the tip of the free edge is gently leveled, and then a reinforcing, additional layer of varnish is applied in the same way on the nails. Now our manicure is completely finished.
