• Sharp scissors for the skin;
• Scissors or scissors for nails;
• A set of orange sticks;
• Nail polish remover;
• Wadded disks;
• Means for a nail tray: sea salt, softening and aromatic oils;
• Oil to soften the cuticle;
• A set of high-quality varnishes;
• Set for the French manicure;
• Lacquer fixer;
• Moisturizing and nourishing hand cream.

How to choose the right nail file About thisThe tool is worth talking about separately. The health of your nails in the future will depend on its quality. If your nails are weak and flaking, choose a round fine-grained file made of glass. With its help, you will give the nail the desired shape and carefully polish its surface. If you do not complain about the health of your nails, you can safely choose a sapphire file. Preferably a combined one with different surfaces. When buying a tool, pay attention to its rubbing surface. Run your fingertip over it - a high-quality file does not scratch the skin, does not have protruding areas, and "grains of sand" are practically not felt. Remember that coarse and coarse-grained files are intended for extended nails, while natural ones will not withstand such treatment. Never use a metal tool, give preference to a file on a rubber or cardboard base. Before making a purchase, consult with the seller. He will definitely give you useful advice and tell you how to make the right choice based on the condition of your nails.

Stages of home manicure

When performing a manicure, accuracy and consistency of actions are especially important. But otherwise, this process is much simpler than it may initially seem. So, let's begin.

• Giving shape Remember one important rule:Only dry nails can be ground and filed. The file must move strictly in a certain direction - from the sides to the center. Choose the shape based on your preferences, but do not forget that much here depends on the shape of the fingers themselves. For example, the square shape is the most resistant to external influences. But it is ideal only for long fingers. For plump and short fingers, it is best to choose an oval or pointed shape - they visually lengthen the hand and the nail itself;
• Adding shine Shine is added with a special polishing file. It has four different surfaces, which are numbered according to the order in which they are used;
• Cuticle treatment This procedure begins withapplying a special softening oil to the cuticle. After 2-3 minutes, when the product is completely absorbed into the skin, you can make a bath for your nails, having previously added sea salt or oils to it. After a five-minute "bath", you can start removing the cuticle. It is not recommended to cut it, since this will lead to the opposite effect: the cuticle will grow even faster. Just take an orange stick and gently push the skin to the base of the nail. Cuticle oil can be used daily;
• Removing hangnails To remove this nuisanceIt is best to use special sharp scissors or nippers. Do not pull the skin! This will contribute to the formation of painful wounds. Just carefully cut off the hangnail with one precise movement;
• Pads and corners of the fingers If you havecalluses on the inside of the finger, they can be treated with a special ceramic file or regular pumice. The same applies to rough fingertips;
