A woman always wants to look beautiful andflawless to the very tips of the nails. As early as the first century BC, the Egyptian queen Cleopatra covered her nails with henna, she also compiled the first reference book on body care and nail painting, and introduced a fashion for nail care that all Egyptian women followed, and even in China, such a novelty immediately became fashionable. Later, they began to use nail paint based on egg whites, gelatin, wax with the addition of natural dyes in accordance with the fashion trends of that time. Well-groomed hands with a good manicure at all times give self-confidence and express individuality. A competent specialist can choose a nail design in accordance with the appropriate occasion, mood and even the character of the hostess. Manicure is the simplest, but no less important way to change something for the better in your appearance. It is worth changing the color of nail polish - and you feel completely different. As for our time, nail care trends change every year, be it color, length or shape.
Nail extensions
At the beginning of the 21st century, not only in Russia, but alsoAll over the world, such a service as "nail extensions" has gained immense popularity. About 65% of girls had neatly extended long nails that required careful care. And just so you know, this service also has its roots in ancient Egypt. During excavations in Egypt, scientists found the beginnings of today's nail extension technologies. So the pharaohs' wives had their nails covered with gold, and the wives of vassals with silver, while slaves had no right to cover their nails with anything. This service came to the modern world only in the 50s of the 20th century. But, of course, ordinary women could not afford this kind of pleasure, so at first only movie stars could extend their nails, and not just artificial nails, but clippings of long healthy nails of other women, who sold them for decent amounts. But, naturally, this service did not take root due to various shortcomings - they were not durable and expensive. Later they tried to use film, tea bags, dental materials (acrylic) and many other things, but all this was in vain. Currently, there are a great many materials and preparations for creating artificial coatings. These are acrylics, gels, and a glue-powder system, as well as fabric coatings. The shape and length during extension could be absolutely different, from round nails of medium length to long nails of a claw shape. But today this trend is becoming a thing of the past, this service is no longer as popular as it was 5 years ago.
Neil art
Another service that has its roots indistant past – this is nail art. There are several versions of the founders of this creativity. According to one of them, Japan is considered to be the pioneer in this direction. It turns out that since the time of the pharaohs, nail art has been a distinctive feature of every woman. And it indicated their class. According to another version, the phenomenon of nail art originated among the lower classes of African Americans and for a long time did not arouse interest in the white population of the USA and Europe. Unexpectedly, the design was liked by the entire female population and quickly conquered the world. Whichever version is true, one thing remains unchanged that nail designs are still in fashion. Today's manicurists have mastered the art of nail decoration to perfection. They can embody any design on your nails, be it a landscape or a portrait of a movie star. Everything depends on the desire and imagination of the client. But hand care involves not only nail decoration, but also such procedures as hand massage, spa manicure, paraffin therapy and many others. No self-respecting beauty salon can do without such pleasure. And of course, each of these procedures has its own history.
Spa manicure
What is a spa manicure?Perhaps, someone does not know what this procedure is, and if you are one of them, I advise you not only to read about it, but also to try it yourself. This is a comprehensive care for nails and hand skin, which combines high efficiency with a strong relaxing effect on the entire body. Until now, it is not really known where exactly such a wonderful procedure as spa manicure came to us from, but according to one of the most probable versions, it originated in Belgium, in a small town rich in healing springs. The veracity of this story has not been confirmed, but this does not prevent ladies from enjoying this wonderful procedure.
Paraffinotherapy of hands
With paraffin therapy, everything is quite the opposite,It is absolutely certain that this procedure originated in ancient times. Ancient Roman men discovered this technology and began to use it to warm up muscles before massage. And only 3 centuries ago, Polish women, taking this method as a basis, began to whiten skin with paraffin therapy. Later, in the USSR, this method was used to heal wounds and sports injuries. But years later, all this led to the fact that now we can enjoy this procedure, which brings extraordinary pleasure, relaxes not only the hands, but also leads to relaxation of the whole body, due to the fact that it is in the hands that many nerve endings are collected, associated with various human organs. What exactly is it? Paraffin therapy is a very pleasant rejuvenating and toning procedure for the skin of the face, hands and feet. This procedure is performed using melted and heated to 55 degrees cosmetic paraffin. We can talk for a long time about various types of procedures, extensions, hand decorations and much more, but still the main and unchanging leader among the priorities of girls at all times remains the traditional manicure with the help of a different color palette. Well-groomed nails with a correctly selected color have always been considered and will be considered one of the main attributes of a real woman.
