Every woman or girl wants to always look perfect. We must have everything, from the tips of our fingers to the top of our heads, just the way we want it. Otherwise, complexes appear, self-esteem falls, and, accordingly, mood.

The first thing every girl thinks about is, of course, her appearance. Thinking through the image is not easy, but possible. Ideas can be peeped on the Internet, in fashion magazines, in a TV show. It's the same with makeup, if you don't like the result, you can go to budget courses, where they will teach you the most necessary and simple basics.

Everything is much more complicated with manicure, because it is not easy to find a good master who can do the job efficiently and safely. It is worth saying that if you wish, you can learn this yourself. The main thing is to train more and watch training lessons. Today we will raise exactly on this topic. We have to find out all the rules of manicure. Moreover, it is necessary to understand the techniques. Well, let's get started soon.

What do you need to buy for a manicure?

So, before you start practicing, you should study the rules of manicure. ATFirst of all, you need to make sure that you have all the necessary tools. Now we will make the best and correct list:

1. Orange sticks. A very useful thing that will come in handy even for those who do nails at the master. With its help, we push back the cuticle or remove excess polish.
2. Pusher. It is similar in properties to an orange stick, only more spicy. With it, push back the cuticle and remove excess coverage.
3. Cutters and scissors. Cutting tools that cut the cuticle and remove burrs.
4. Degreaser or alcohol. Sometimes there is a strong allergy to the first product. Degreasing is always easy to replace with alcohol.
5. Lint-free wipes, files and buffs.



With the first product we remove the sticky layer, with the second we file the free edge, set the length and shape. Third - remove the top layer of the nail, make it more even.

6. Brush, base and top. The base without which the varnish simply will not hold.
7. Drying lamp. It is in it that the varnish is dried.
8. Machine and cutters. You can do without this device if you use a classic manicure. True, the machine is easier to remove the coating and easier to process nails.
9. Colored gel polishes and designs. Here everyone decides for themselves which varnishes, rhinestones, rubs, stickers and sliders to choose.

Rules of hardware manicure

So, let's start with the rules to follow when working:

1. Cutting down the coating at maximum speed.
2. Never set the cutter perpendicular to the nail. In this case, there is a huge risk of sawing through the nail.
3. Keep the cutter parallel or at a slight angle.
4. We exclude thin and sharp cutters. They make it easier to injure the skin and make a cut.
5. Before working with a cutter, push back the cuticle well to see the result.
6. We do not stand in one place, we constantly move on. It is better to make several circles than to get stuck in one place. This will reduce the risk of injury to delicate skin.
7. Create a support. We always use the little finger on the other hand.

2. Now file the free edge of the nail, buff it.
3. Lift the cuticle well with wave movements.
4. Divide the nail visually in half. First, we process the flame on one side with a cutter, cleaning the side rollers and corners well. We do the same on the other side.
5. Cut the cuticle with a cutter with a round notch, set the handle of the device in parallel.
6. Take a soft cone cutter and grind the cut edge.
7. Manicure ready, ready to coat.

Let's move on to the combined manicure. It is believed that this is the fastest and cleanest option. Let's turn to the rules of combined manicure:

1. Remove the coating, keeping the cutter parallel.
2. Do not cut nails with rusty scissors or nippers. So you can quickly bring the infection.
3. We don't use blunt tools. With them it will not be possible to make a beautiful manicure. The cuticle will simply tear.
