How to make a European manicure?

European manicure today is rapidly gaining momentum. And this is not surprising, since it has a lot of advantages. It is not traumatic, like a classic manicure, because it does not use cutting tools. Such a manicure is also called "unedged." The fact is that with this manicure cuticle is eliminated without the use of scissors. For the first time it began to be practiced in Europe, hence the second name - the European manicure. And today this most sparing kind of manicure is very popular in Russia.

How to make a European manicure?

Let's consider all stages of implementation:

• We remove from the nail plates the remains of the old manicure, we remove the old varnish.
• Using the nail file, we give the nails the desired shape.
• The next step is to apply a special substance consisting of dairy and fruit acids to the cuticle. Due to their unique composition, the skin around the nail plate becomes soft.
• Next, we prepare a special bath, in which we lower the hands for 10-15 minutes. The skin on the hands should be properly steamed.
• After that, we remove the cuticle. For this purpose, an orange stick or a special pumice, suitable for this kind of manicure , is perfect . The wand should be moved from the center of the base of the nail plate to the side rollers. In this case, it is undesirable to touch the plate itself.
• Then the hands are dried with a soft napkin and, massaging, we apply a nourishing cream for hands and nails. To nails had a healthy and pleasant shine, they are processed polisher.
• The European manicure is finished with a covering of nails strengthening and medical varnish. After it dries on the nails, we apply a colored lacquer.

Nails with a European manicure will look well-groomed only if you perform it regularly. The only drawback of the European design of nails is the inability to use it for coarse and thick skin of hands.

And the main advantage is that in this form of care, tweezers and scissors are not used, which in the classic manicure remove the hangnails and cuticles. All you need from tools is a nail file. But their assortment is huge, and it is necessary to be able to choose correctly.

How to choose a nail file?

Some prefer chips with diamond chips, others prefer glass, and someone uses disposable paper files. Films differ in quality of execution, price, appearance. Let's try to figure out what the nail files are made of and how they differ.

The first difference of correcting nail files in the degree of hardness of the coating. Usually, nail files with a softer linen are used for accrued nails, and for natural nails the degree of rigidity should be higher. The degree of rigidity has its own unit of measurement, called grit. The highest rigidity is the file used for polishing nails. Manicure files are made of different materials and using a variety of spraying.

Paper or cardboard nail files are often disposable. Granite or quartz crumb is used as the spraying. The basis of such a nail file is multi-layer paper or cardboard. There are also reusable files, and their service life is low. Paper files are soft enough and are used for children's manicure or correction of artificial nails.

Manicure files from plastic are cheap enough. They are comfortable and soft. They are made of plastic with a Teflon coating. Plastic blades are better for women who have soft nail plates.

Metal manicure files are very popular due to their strength and durability. They have a fairly rough coating using diamond crumbs or threaded grooves. Due to the high degree of grit, they can damage the nail plate. Continuous use of a metal file can cause the nail to begin to separate. Such a file can be processed nails. To save the nails, it is better to abandon the usual metal file.

Glass nail file have been used for nail care not so long ago. And it has already gained popularity among women. The glass file gently handles the nail plastic, does not harm it, it is easy to process. The drawback of the glass file is only that the glass is glass, and it easily beats. An awkward movement, an incautious gesture, and falling out of his hands, the glass file will break. Yes, and its cost is considerable, the minimum price is 200 rubles.

One of the latest innovations in the manicure service - ceramic nail files. They are ideal for weak nail plates. They qualitatively grind the nail, leveling it and giving the desired shape. The drawback, like the glass nail file, is a large share of the probability of rapid breakage due to the brittleness of the material. Although with proper handling, the ceramic file will last long. The price of such a product for processing nails from three hundred rubles.

And the latest development of specialists in cosmetology is a laser nail file. It is intended not only for adjusting the nails, but also for processing the cuticle. The form of the canvas, made in the form of bee honeycombs filled with soft diamond crumb, easily slides, neatly removes the cuticle, removes the coarsened skin, gently grinds the nail plate. The cost of the saw varies from 150 to 700 rubles.

The forms of saws for manicure can be very diverse. For example, traditional straight lines are used for both manicure and pedicure. They can be made of any material. Block files or buffs can have different sputtering, therefore they are used for varying degrees of nail and cuticle treatment.

The fillet, made in the form of a boomerang, is very convenient for manicure at home. Its owner will be comfortable using a tool of this form. For children and adolescents, nail files are produced in the form of hearts, bunnies, flowers, because their main purpose is to carefully polish the nail plate.

There are files made by a rhombus or a square. These tools are used by professionals. Films of this shape cleanly and accurately process the nail.

What kind of file for manicure to choose, each woman decides for herself, focusing on the features of the nail plate, the scope of application and, of course, the price.
