Manicure on long nails is a set of manipulations and procedures that give the nails the desired look. It is always done in the same way. The work ends with the application of colored varnish and fixative.
Execution scheme
In general, manicure on long, medium or short nails is done according to the same scheme. First of all, we remove the old varnish and with a nail file we give the plates a shape, focusing on their appearance. As a result, the tips of the nails should be symmetrical, and their length should be the same.
Now turn for a warm bath, preferably with sea s alt. Remember how good your nails are after relaxing at sea. Therefore, regularly arrange such a holiday for them at home. For an added effect, add a drop of essential oil. And to moisturize and soften the cuticles, pour in shower gel or liquid soap. If you are doing a manicure on long nails, then s alt and essential oils are a must, on short and medium ones, depending on their strength.
After waiting 5 minutes, check with a wooden stick to see if the cuticle is pushing back. Act carefully. Cut off rough skinnail clippers. Try not to do it in one motion, so as not to grab more than you need. If your skin does not coarsen, then you do not need to cut anything - just push and clean off the remnants of the cuticle from the nail. If necessary, use a remover (liquid for unedged manicure). Then we wipe our fingers with a napkin and lightly grind with a special gentle nail file, which removes only the natural shine of the plate. We need a slightly matte surface. We have finished the preparatory work, we are starting the design.
Black manicure
First of all, we protect the nails with a base coat. It will not allow the main varnish to harm them. Yes, and any colored cosmetic product will then lie down more evenly. Next, apply black varnish. It is better if the nails are painted in two layers. The color will look more saturated and the plate will become glossy and shiny.
Black varnish is interesting for its versatility and expressiveness. It is especially effective if you have a dark bracelet or a patent leather belt. It is believed that a black manicure on long nails will not add to the image of aggressiveness, if you give the plates a rounded shape.
Colored
Choosing one, even a bright nail color, means subordinating your wardrobe to it for the next week.
A colorful manicure will help out. For example, we paint one nail blue, the other turquoise, and white will be a companion to them. It is necessary to alternate according to the scheme: 2 (head.) + 2 (bir.) +1 (white). Or 2+1+2, 1+2+2- for three colors of varnish and 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1, 2 + 1 + 1 + 1, 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 - for two. We combine tones similar or contrasting. If you take five colors, then you will have to select a palette, of course, more carefully.
French at home
Optimal French manicure on long nails in its classic version: a pink nail and a white smile line. The main difficulty is to draw a smooth and as natural edge as possible. You will need adhesive strips-stencils. We apply the base, then pink or beige varnish, and after complete drying, glue the strips, leaving the regrown tip free. White lacquer stencils are applied easily and clearly, but you can do without them.
Very popular this season is a jacket done in reverse. You will have to act as follows: we apply white varnish from the edge to the center of the nail, stopping approximately at the smile line. After drying, gently wipe off the excess with a wide brush, dipping it in nail polish remover. Then we cover the nail with a fixative. This is enough, but you can paint the rest of the nail with pink polish, strictly from the border of the white edge. And only then apply a fixing layer. You can make a manicure on long nails using this technique not only in white and pink. If the dress code of your company is not so strict, then combine the varnishes of your favorite shades, depending on the main range of the wardrobe.
