An equally common type of manicure that provides high-quality Brazilian-style hand and nail care

The technology provides fast and effective nail cleansing. A great alternative to the traditional European and classic way of putting your fingernails in order.

A Brazilian manicure consists of cream-soaked gloves and a cuticle stick. You can buy this set in the store. The procedure will require a new one. The event takes 15-20 minutes of free time. The result is amazingly effective. The unique composition of the cream, applied to the inside of the gloves, provides moisture, nourishment and restoration of the nail plate and hand skin.

Very often among the masters you can find heated discussions on the topic: which manicure is better. Someone is an adherent of the old school, used to working with scissors and looks with disapproval even in the direction of the skins. Someone is in love with a hardware manicure and is proud of the fact that he does his job with one cutter.

But let's look at examples, what is the difference between simply providing services. nail service from true craftsmanship.

Every day we see different hands and different problems. And while your client's main concern is which shade of pink to choose from a huge palette, your task is to determine what problem you are facing and what is the way to solve it. After all, manicure masters are not just professionals in masks and gloves, but also kind nail fairies who will always prompt and help the pens look perfect.

Let's start with the fact that a highly qualified manicurist must master all manicure techniques in order to solve the task set for him as quickly and successfully as possible. For example, your client thin, dry cuticle.

For such hands edged manicure can become traumatic. As a rule, closely spaced capillaries are the main problem when processing such a cuticle. The ideal option is a hardware manicure: the keratinized skin is polished, the manicure is carried out quickly and safely. Such a client can be recommended a course of hot manicure or paraffin therapy in order to restore the water balance. A mandatory recommendation is to use rubber gloves when in contact with water and detergents Apply a moisturizer to your hands. Excellent tool to solve the problem of overdried cuticles is cuticle oil. The drier and thinner the skin, the fatter the oil should be. Ideal wax butter. It is rubbed into the cuticle and side ridges, moisturizing and massaging the skin. Solid cocoa butter, shea butter or coconut oil is an ideal conductor of essential oils, and the wax “seals” moisture, leaving a feeling of moisturized skin for a long time. Some manufacturers have such oils, but you can easily make it yourself. A small jar of this oil can be offered to the client along with recommended hand care products.

Cuticle Wax Recipe:

1 part beeswax;
1 part solid butter to choose from: shea, cocoa, coconut;
1 part vegetable oil of your choice: almond, avocado, grape seed, linseed, castor, olive;
2-3 drops essential oil optional: rosemary (for nail growth), tea tree(antibacterial, antifungal), lemon (strengthening).

First, melt the wax in a water bath, then add to the melted wax solid oils, stir, if necessary, warm up a little so that the mass becomes liquid. After that, add the remaining liquid vegetable oils and essential oils. Mix and pour into jars. After cooling, the oil will become solid, but the heat of the fingers instantly melts, and becomes easy to apply.

What type of manicure is best for such hands?

Thin, overgrown cuticle, "crawling" after the nail can harm the nail plate itself. If the cuticle is not removed in time, then at the junction with the lateral ridges, it begins to crack, and infection easily enters these cracks. If your client has just such a thin “creeping” cuticle, offer a combined manicure. The device can easily lift the cuticle, clean off, grind the side rollers, and carefully cut the cuticle itself with scissors or forceps.

By cutting the cuticle with “one stripe”, you ensure the correct growth of the cuticle in the future. The main recommendation for caring for such hands is a timely manicure and pushing back the cuticles. orange stick client at home.

With a very injured condition of the skin of the hands and nails not to do without edged classic manicure.

With existing inflammation and open wounds, it is best to cut off the burrs, rather than grind them with a machine. But you need to be extremely careful not to harm, and be sure to send your client to a dermatologist so that the doctor prescribes a treatment for the inflammatory process. In this condition, it is impossible to use keratolytics so as not to injure the already inflamed areas. The main task of the master in this case is to remove burrs and clean the side rollers from dirt and gore. Treat with an antibacterial agent and send the client to treat the inflammation.

If your client regularly does manicures, takes care of his hands at home and has a thin, even, elastic cuticle - a reasonable solution would be not very popular in salons, nevertheless, very suitable for this type of cuticle european manicure.

It is not at all necessary to look for something else to cut off, grind. Ideally, we should all strive to ensure that after a course of procedures performed by you and recommendations for home care performed by the client, the condition of the skin of the hands and nails is such that working with them is as easy and fast as possible.

So let's sum it up:

hardware or combined manicure: perfect solution for thin, dry cuticles or when the main goal is to slow cuticle growth.

Edged manicure: when the hands are “launched”, there are a lot of burrs, a large cuticle that has grown on the nail is difficult to move away.

There is a little secret when working with a thick elastic cuticle: cut off not all at once, but a third of the total size, in three sessions, leaving a thin strip of a millimeter. So there will be less stress for the cuticle and it will not grow more than before. It is necessary to leave a small strip so that with such a structure of the nail it is a necessary protective barrier.

Even a woman who does not keep track of the latest trends in the field of nail art monitors the condition of her hands. However, what types of manicure are, how a medical procedure differs from a cosmetic one, how to properly remove the cuticle and change shape, only those who are actively interested in this area know. Is it possible to learn how to maintain the perfect look of your nails on your own and which coating is more durable?

What is a manicure

For most men, the presence of any color coating on a woman’s nails is already a manicure. They rarely understand extensions, shellac, jacket, etc., and the absence of color is equated to the absence of a manicure. Women are able to tell much more about the types of coverage - give arguments for and against gel with acrylic, talk about the latest trends in nail art, even describe the most relevant nail shapes in current season.

However, the varieties of manicure are primarily divided according to the purpose pursued by this procedure, and after only 1 category will continue to branch according to:

technicians;
types of coverage;
design decision.

Medical

This type of manicure is little known, because, firstly, it is performed only in medical institutions and a specialist with the appropriate education. A simple master in a beauty salon will not give you a medical manicure, because. does not have:

proper conditions (especially the sterility of the cabinet);
tools;
drugs;
skills.

The purpose of this procedure is not the beauty of the nails and the well-groomed hands, but their health. An indication for medical manicure is any fungal disease that affected the specified area, so the gender of the client does not play a role. Some girls do such a manicure at home, but according to doctors, this is undesirable, because. in the absence of a medical education, you cannot guarantee the complete safety and correctness of your actions.

Cosmetic

The main type of manicure, which is already performed at almost every step, since the number of masters in this area has increased significantly. It can be carried out at home, in the studio, in a beauty parlor. Depending on the degree of complexity, the duration of the procedure, the required conditions, instruments, and preparations change. The purpose of a cosmetic manicure is to create and maintain the beauty of the skin of the hands (!) and the nail plate. If the master does not apply a color coating, the procedure loses its gender and it is possible that it will be performed for a man.

Manicure technique

Before a colored coating appears on your nails, the master must prepare them: evaluate and improve the condition of the cuticle, equalize the length, and, if necessary, change the surface relief of the plate. This type of manicure is performed for a relatively short time, because. it is mainly the aesthetic side of the issue that matters. If you decide to abandon the coating and pursue a purely hygienic or therapeutic goal, the master will work longer and his key task will be to provide your hands and nails with an ideal look without varnish.

A few basic rules:

all types of manicure require clean hands that need to be treated with a disinfectant, especially if you use wire cutters;
never try to file a softened wet nail and cut dry;
polishing nails is allowed no more than once a week.

Edged

This procedure even today it has the look that is familiar to women of Soviet times: it is a classic manicure using nippers to help get rid of burrs and cuticles. There are many opponents and defenders of this type of hand care: even professionals have not formed a unified attitude towards trimmed manicure. However, if you suffer from a very dry, dense and actively growing cuticle, you cannot cope with it without circumcision. In other cases, it is desirable to do unedged manicure, because the:

the skin is severely injured;
high risk of infection;
scissors and nippers can form deep depressions near the hole;
trimmed manicure should be done every week.

hot

This type is characterized by the use of baths with salt, oils, herbal decoctions, etc., which have a positive effect on the condition of the skin of the hands and the nail plate, but are primarily performed for the subsequent removal of the cuticle and pterygium. During the hot manicure procedure, the skin is steamed and softened, dead cells are easily cleaned with a pusher - a metal tool that looks like a spatula. Children's manicure is performed mainly using this technology.

If you do this procedure at home, remember that:

you need to remove the length before the bath, if you cut it, and after - if you cut it off;
it will be possible to apply the coating only after the complete evaporation of water from the nail plate.

hardware

According to the principle of working with the cuticle, this technique for performing a manicure is related to the edged one, because. mechanical effect on the skin. However, the master does not use piercing and cutting tools, but works with special nozzles called cutters. They act in the same way as a nail file, but due to the shape and high speed of rotation, they get rid of pterygium, cuticles, lateral ridges and dry areas even in hard-to-reach areas and without injury. If we talk about safe and popular types of manicure, giving excellent result, then the hardware has a leading position.

European unedged

by the most safe view manicure professionals call European. The key point of this technique is the use of special preparations, keratolytics, which, due to aggressive chemical composition contribute to the dissolution of the cuticle and pterygium. After the remnants of softened skin are cleaned with an orange stick or a pusher. The only problem with European manicure is that a thick cuticle will not even soften under such means, and there is no talk of dissolution. It is also difficult to switch to it from the edged one - the process can take up to six months.

Japanese

If other types of manicure mainly prepared nails for further manipulations, Japanese, which became popular only a couple of seasons ago, called "gloss", does not imply any decorative coating. This is a therapeutic type procedure that is recommended for girls:

with thin, brittle nails;
suffering from stratification of the plate;
after extension;
after prolonged wearing of gel polish.

If desired, a Japanese manicure can be made part of a regular hand care system. It consists of several stages: it begins with the diagnosis of the state of the areas adjacent to the nail, after which the nail plate is sealed special composition and its polishing. The final step is the massage. The products that are used for Japanese manicure have several types, as they are selected individually.

Spa

A popular form of hand care is the spa manicure, which has the same goal as the Japanese: to achieve not only cosmetic effect but also medicinal. Due to the use of special products and a whole range of procedures, the skin is given grooming, and the nails are strengthened and healthy shine. Spa-manicure among other types is distinguished by multi-stage, because. includes:

peeling;
nourishing mask;
wrapping (paraffin therapy);
length correction;
removal of the cuticle using substances that dissolve it (i.e. the technique of the European procedure);
plate polishing;
brush massage.

Types of nail coverage

If in the last century manicure could only be done with varnish, and even the number of colors significantly limited the imagination, the modern market for goods for nail masters offers a lot of new products. Long-term coatings have become available to women, the only drawback of which is the need to purchase professional devices and tools, to know the features of each application, to study the technology of working with different types of compositions. Keep in mind that you can’t polish your nails before any coating - the product will have nothing to catch on.

regular lacquer

The most unstable, but affordable type of coating that a woman can handle herself is colored varnish. The assortment presented in stores even eliminates the need to come up with a design: the consumer is offered not only a variety of shades, but also textures and effects. Magnetic, sandy, changing tone under the influence of temperature - you can not visit the salon, and almost all types of manicure design are also easy to master on your own. However, varnish has disadvantages:

lasts only a couple of days;
for a beautiful result, you will have to work hard on a neat application;
layer thickness must be carefully adjusted;
long dry.

Gel polish coating

If a woman prefers long-term coverage and manicure visits no more than 2 times a month, the master may suggest that she use gel polish. This variant of the decorative coating has become a compromise between extension and standard lacquer application. The basis of the main product is acrylate, which hardens under UV or LED rays, so a lamp is needed to work with gel polish. Among the advantages of such coverage:

it will visually strengthen the nails, so under it the free edge can grow without breaking;
gloss, density inherent in gels;
self-leveling in the process of execution;
lack of chips, end erasure;
minimum harm, because the master does not file the surface.

Shellac

It is illogical to divide gel polish and shellac into different types of manicure, since gel polish is the general name for a product based on acrylate that hardens under radiation. Shellac, on the other hand, is the name of the “brainchild” of CND, the first gel polish that brought the salon manicure service to new level. Other brands do not have the right to use this word in the description of their products. Its properties are the same as those of all gel polishes. He:

persistent;
not afraid of water;
lasts up to 2 weeks (the period is determined by the characteristics of the nail plate - the dry coating lasts longer);
does not lose color and gloss;
cannot be performed without a lamp.

acrylic coating

The types of manicure listed above implied only the creation of a decorative coating, i.e. colors, but the use of acrylates (acrylic and gel) is always modeling. Experts do not advise resorting to them only to seal the nail: the reason for working with such materials should be more serious. The use of acrylates helps:

adjust the shape
add the missing sections of the free edge (you can restore 1 broken nail, etc.);
make your nails look narrower.

Modeling with acrylic / gel under varnish involves the implementation standard procedure manicure (mainly unedged look) and the subsequent use of camouflage - composition flesh color high density. The result is a flat plate where any coating will last longer and the overgrown edge won't suddenly break off.

Types of nail design

When plain coating gets bored and the woman wants something new, she begins to study manicure styles from photo galleries. Among modern trends, experts identify several types of design that the master can offer to the client:

airbrushing;
French;
moon design;
stamping;
drawing;
use of stickers;
design with fabric, foil, mica;
crystal pixie and other rhinestones.

french

A classic akin to the little black dress has been and will remain a French manicure. IN traditional form it represents the natural tone of the nail plate and a white tip - something that can be done even without the help of a master, if you practice a little. Later, different types of this type of manicure appeared: white was replaced by brighter ones - red, yellow, green, etc. According to the French scheme, they even perform a design without a natural tone: as an example, a white nail plate and a purple edge.

Lunar

Some masters call this type of design - reverse jacket, because. the idea is to highlight not the free edge, but the hole adjacent to the base, but maintaining the same semicircular shape. In some cases, it is not filled with color, but remains blank. It is more difficult to carry out a lunar design on your own than a jacket, because. there is a high probability of staining the cuticle, and it is difficult to choose an individual stencil.

gradient

This type of design can be carried out with a special device - an airbrush: this is how the masters of beauty salons work. At home, the gradient is made with a sponge, on which the desired number of shades of varnish is applied and mixed. The result is soft transition when the colors flow into each other. This design method is less time consuming than creating a pattern and allows for a degree of carelessness. The gradient on short nails is not placed horizontally - it is better to make the lines diagonal so that they visually lengthen the plate.

Lace

Masters often offer this option to brides, because the nails take on a neat look, ideally suited to wedding dress no matter what style it is. For the design, pieces of thin lace purchased at a nail art store are used - plain fabric not suitable due to its density, too large pattern (compare with the surface area of the nail). Lace is applied to the free edge or to the entire nail plate, seated on glue or a special tool. Be sure to cover with a top to remove excess relief.

With stamping

An interesting look to the nails can also be given by a young direction in design, called "stamping". For it, a special disk is used with patterns cut out in it, which are filled with paint and gently transferred with a stamp to the prepared nail. Important nuance- this is the consistency of the varnish: it cannot be too liquid, otherwise the pattern will float. If you practice, a stamping manicure can take you only 10 minutes.

I really liked the transparent nail design, which, by the way, is the trend of this season, so I will continue the series of nail design lessons on this topic. And here I want to show another version of a transparent manicure - nail design with transparent hearts, which are complemented by cute accessories to match the varnishes - broths (3d nail balls or eggs, which are mainly used for), and adhesive tapes for design.

3. Now the main question - how to draw a heart on nails. To be more precise, it is not drawn here at all, but is done by erasing the varnish with a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover. At first it seemed to me that in this way it would turn out jagged edges, but everything turned out to be much simpler: with a careful approach and gradual alignment of the halves of the heart, this is done quickly and easily. Try it and see for yourself!

4. After that, we cover the nails with the heart with a transparent top and attach the broth along the contour of the heart to it (glue can be used for reliability). It's also not a lot of hard work. For convenience, I catch small balls with the tip of an orange stick.

5. On the rest of the nails, I decided to use duct tape to complete the design. How to use it, read, everything is not so difficult. A transparent top is also applied over the adhesive tape.
