A woman's hands are her passport.No self-respecting lady will leave the house without a manicure. There is even an opinion among women that it is better to do without makeup, but have time to tidy up your nails. In order not to rush around beauty salons in search of an experienced and clean manicurist, you should learn how to do a manicure at home. And today the best option for nail care is an unedged manicure. First of all, you need to remove the old varnish from the nail plate. It is better to do this with special liquids for removing varnish. Most of them contain not only acetone, but also vitamin supplements. Such products will not dry out the nail plate, but will nourish it - this is important. There are liquids with the addition of plant components - for example, sea buckthorn extract. When choosing a liquid for removing varnish, be sure to read the composition - if there is only acetone, then it is better to refuse it.
We form nails
- Remember one indisputable rule: try not to use the scissors for cutting nails. If you still can not do without cutting your nails, then try to do it in more than one movement. If you do the manicure correctly, you can avoid delamination and breakage of the nail plate;
- If you want to make an unedged manicure,then use the nail files to sharpen the edges of the nail. They should be soft - for example, glass with an abrasive coating. In no event can you use metal nail files;
- In order not to break nails, you need to make them roundor square - pointed nails have the property of rapidly losing their shape. Never cut the nail plate on the sides - you can damage not only the nail itself, but also the skin around it.
We work with the cuticle
The most problematic area is the cuticle.Women fight it constantly - they cut it and push it back. And as a result, they only cause pain and inflammation of the skin. Today, scientists in the field of cosmetology have advanced so much that they have created a special liquid that dissolves the cuticle. So, what should be done with this part of the nail:
- Apply a special agent to the peel;
- Wait for two minutes - during this time the dead cells will completely dissolve;
- Gently push the orange wand off the skin.
If you do everything right, this unedgedthe method can significantly facilitate the entire process of performing a manicure. When choosing a cuticle dissolving agent, carefully read the composition. It should indicate anti-inflammatory components (for example, chamomile) and healing (tea tree). To push back the treated cuticle, use only orange tree sticks - this material does not delaminate and has optimal qualities of softness and density. Now you need to wipe the remains of the product from the nail plate with a napkin. After these procedures, consider that the unedged manicure is half done.
The final stage
After all the procedures have been completed, you shouldApply nourishing oil with vitamins E and D to the nail plate and the skin around it. Rub the oil in with massage movements, applying a little force. Wait until everything is absorbed and consider that the unedged manicure is ready. If you want to do a manicure with colored nail polish, then you should not apply oil. Immediately after treating the cuticle and removing it, you need to degrease the nail. Only then should you apply the desired polish. Keep in mind that colored polish is applied in two layers. If you prefer enamel, then for a beautiful appearance you should practice thoroughly. This should be done as follows:
- Apply the first layer of enamel varnish, make sure that the smears are smooth, without glare;
- Allow to dry the first layer for 10 minutes;
- Apply a second layer - now make sure that the strokes lie absolutely flat.
The difficulty in using matte varnishes is thatto make an absolutely even, flawless layer. Such a varnish should shimmer in the light and not a single line, not a single glimmer of an uneven stroke should be visible. When applying pearlescent varnishes, everything is simplified. Of course, you still need to be careful and attentive, but even if some strokes are uneven, it’s okay. After all, the beauty of mother-of-pearl is that you can do a manicure with it quickly. The light will refract on the surface of the nail plate, and no accidental blots will be visible.

At home, it is very easy to do it - even if at least one night "breathe" the nails. Ideal - let them rest for a couple of days, use your days off;
- Do not do a manicure if there is damageskin around the nail or cuticle - wait for complete healing. The fact is that under such conditions, the infection in the wound is too great, and then a purulent inflammation of even a very small scratch is possible;
