Women's feet need care and beautiful design no less than handles, especially in summer, when closed shoes are replaced by open sandals, shoes and slates. Therefore, fresh pedicure ideas will come in handy. At the same time, it is not necessary to contact the nail master.
Harmony in everything
The most fashionable and in demand are those pedicure ideas that involve a complete combination with a manicure. That is, both are performed with the same design. It is best to do a pedicure with gel or gel polish in the summer, as it will last a very, very long time, which means you do not have to worry about frequently repainting your nails on your feet.
How to
First, a manicure is performed with the selected design. When it is completely ready, you can start decorating the legs. First, they are steamed in a bath, the coarsened layer of skin is removed from the heels and feet. Excess hairs from the fingers are either cut off with scissors, or plucked with tweezers, or shaved off. The keratinized layer of skin from the nails is best removed with a special machine. If it is not at hand, then you canuse a cuticle remover. The free edge of the nail is filed with a nail file. The nail plates are degreased, painted over with a base coat for gel or gel polish. It must be dried in an ultraviolet lamp, since the material simply will not harden in a different way. Then the nails are covered with colored gel or gel polish in one layer. It is advisable to pre-separate the toes with a special delimiter or cotton swabs. When the color layer dries, the action is repeated to get a more saturated shade. The final step is to secure the pedicure with a top coat. It also dries under an ultraviolet lamp. Pedicure gel polish lasts an average of about three to four weeks, after which you will need to make a correction.
Differences
There is only one difference between gel technology and gel polish: the removal of the material. Otherwise, the procedure for performing a pedicure is the same. The gel polish is removed with the help of a special liquid in which the nails are soaked for some time specified in the instructions. But the gel will then have to be cut off with a nail file or a pedicure machine. It is not recommended to do this on your own, since there is a risk of injury to nails and skin without having experience with the tool. It is worth contacting the master who did the pedicure. The price of removing the gel from the toenails is higher than that of a similar procedure on the hands - about 800 rubles per job. You can remove gel polish yourself at home, following the instructions for the selected product.
Dot design
Simple pedicure ideas do not require special technologies to implement them. Let's take a point design as an example. To make it, you only need dots. This is a special brush that looks like a needle, but with a ball at the end. For example, to create such a pedicure, as in the photo above, you need only a few minutes. First, the nails are painted with varnish of the selected color. When it dries, with the help of dots, dots are randomly placed on all fingers. You can complement the design with stickers on a large nail. The result is a stylish summer pedicure, the price of which, by the way, in the salon will be rather big - about 700 rubles.
Design play
Dot design is the easiest and most affordable option at home. And it can be profitable and interesting to beat if desired. For example, by making a drawing in the form of a ladybug. In addition to the points, you will need to draw the head of an insect and a separator strip for wings. You can scoop up such simple pedicure ideas from anywhere. For example, using dot technology, you can create simple patterns that, when decorated with the most ordinary rhinestones, will look fashionable and original.
Lacquer patterns
A pedicure master most often offers his clients options that he already has a hand full of. But you can come up with a simple design, which is not difficult to create on your own. For example, as in the photo above. You will need the following materials and tools to complete:
- nail polishes in three colors (white, black, coral);
- toothedstencil for French manicure (or homemade, from duct tape).
First, the thumbnails are covered with white varnish. All the rest are coral. Or alternating at will. When the varnish is completely dry (you can dip your fingers in a bath of cool water to speed up the process), glue the jagged stencils onto large nails. Free space is painted over in black. When the varnish dries, the stencils are removed. To fix the design, you can cover your nails with clear varnish or a special top.
Which material is better to choose?
Despite the fact that gel polish pedicure lasts long enough and is easy to remove, it is problematic to do it yourself at home. Firstly, not every girl has all the necessary materials and tools. Secondly, at least minimal experience with them is required. But varnish pedicure is very simple, because almost everyone can use it. Gel as a design tool is not very good, because it is very difficult to remove. It is recommended to visit the master. In addition, it is worth remembering that a pedicure is not just nails covered with the chosen material, but also treated heels and feet. Be sure to do a relaxing nourishing bath, massage and apply a softening cream. It is better to remove keratinized skin on your own only with a special foot grater or pumice stone.
