What exactly is a manicure?
A manicure is a beauty treatment of the hands. Your nails will be cut, filed, and shaped. You will then have your cuticles pushed back and tidied, and then enjoy a hand massage. The final step will be the painting of the nails with a color of your choice.
Caring for hands and nails is a guarantee of healthy and beautiful nails. You can perform certain procedures on your own, but many prefer to contact specialists. The final result depends on the correct manipulations.
There are two ways to prepare and do a manicure:
- hygienic manicure;
- decorative manicure.
At the same time, a hygienic manicure will serve as the basis for a high-quality decorative manicure.
Depending on the methods used to work with the cuticle (it’s softening and removal), there are several types of manicure:
1. Classic Manicure
The most common way to soften and remove the cuticle is soaking it with a special solution.
2. European (unedged) manicure
This method is not traumatic, safe, suitable for owners of thin skin with blood vessels located close to the cuticle.
3. Manicure with the help of solutions
In contrast to the classic, such a manicure is considered a fast and affordable option at home.
4. Apparatus manicure
Apparatus manicure is performed without soaking hands before – on dry skin. This procedure prevents the separation of nails and the rapid growth of the cuticle, recommended for dry skin.
5. Combined manicure
Often, even a hardware manicure does not work without the use of special tools. The combined manicure acquires popularity – it is a technique that combines some of the above types of manicure. Due to such complex processing of the nail plate and cuticle, the maximum effect is achieved – the manicure looks more accurate, the cuticle grows slower and the result of the procedure lasts much longer.
