• Edged.Such a manicure is a classic type of treatment that involves the use of water. With its help, the cuticle is removed, which is far from the blood vessels.During the procedure, hands should be disinfected and cleaned as much as possible from varnish in order to avoid infection. This process is suitable for those who have very rough cuticles, as well as those who have absolutely no free time to move on to weekly nail care.

• Edgeless. The difference between edged and unedged options is obvious. A special tool is applied to the cuticle, with which it comes off, and the harder layer is removed by a person using an orange stick. Since there are no cutting tools, the chance of infection is very low and almost impossible. First, you need to give the nails the desired shape, then lower them into a bath filled with water mixed with salts to soften the skin. With the help of the product and a cotton pad, you need to remove the layer of keratinized skin of the cuticle, move the remaining particles to the edge of the nail plate. Such a manicure can be easily done at home.

• Hot. With the help of the bath, brittle and exfoliating nails are treated with various oils. They soften the cuticle, after which it can be easily removed with a stick.

• Dry. Such a manicure is quite quick and simple. Its feature is the absence of baths, which makes the coating more durable. The varnish does not come into contact with water, so it does not crack, and the cuticle is not damaged. It is simply treated with a special tool, and the nails are covered with a solvent.
• Brazilian. Such a manicure is very similar to dry, but there is one difference. Namely, gloves are put on hands for a certain amount of time. This is done in order to soften the skin.After that, the cuticle is also treated with a gel and removed.

• Combined. Such a manicure involves a large number of procedures - care for nails, cuticles, sides and skin. This manicure is similar to the classic edged manicure, as it features a similar technique and the use of cutting objects. It is important to note that such a manicure is carried out personally for each client. It is with the help of an individual approach that you can achieve the most positive results.
• Hardware. Such a manicure can be done independently, at home. It is enough to purchase a machine that will grind nails. With its help, an unnecessary part of the cuticle is cut off, the surface of the nail is leveled, excess layers are removed.

To make a quality manicure, it is not enough to have extensive experience in this area. It is necessary to purchase expensive high-quality tools from well-known companies.

Another type that is very popular is dry manicure. The main difference from traditional types is the lack of baths. At the same time, the varnish stays on the nails for a long time - due to the lack of contact with water. A big plus is that the cuticle is not damaged. The likelihood of burrs is minimal. To make the nails as well-groomed as possible, you need to gradually consider the rules for performing a dry manicure:

• Hand disinfection. To avoid infection and to avoid getting dirt on some exposed areas of the skin, it is necessary to treat your hands with a disinfectant. If you are going to do a manicure, you need to make sure that the nail plates are dry, that they can be degreased with acetone.

• Cuticle removal. Thanks to the available solutions, the cuticle can be removed completely painlessly. You just need to apply a special liquid with a brush and leave it for a couple of minutes. It has exfoliating properties, softens the cuticle and makes it easy to remove.
• Use of tools. It is necessary to apply oil on the surface of the entire nail plate, give it the desired shape with a nail file. You need to apply a coating that protects against damage. It does not allow the nail to break.
• Next, a base coat is applied. After 2-3 minutes, the nail is covered with the main layer of varnish. You need to apply several layers.
• Applying a glossy finish. The effect of glossy nails can be achieved with a transparent varnish, which is thinly applied on top of the main layer.
• Drying. Aerosol drying will allow you to quickly return to your usual activities - 2-3 minutes after applying the varnish.

5. Then you need to cut the gloves in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe nails and carefully remove the cuticle with an orange or bamboo stick. If it is rough, only wire cutters will help.
6. The same should be done with other nails.

Every girl dreams that the applied varnish would last as long as possible, and that her nails would not become a subject of disappointment after a recent manicure. To avoid such an unpleasant situation, you need to turn to some advice from masters and specialists:

• The most long-term finding of varnish on the nails contributes to the primary application of the base. A fixer will also help make the coating more resistant.
• So that the varnish does not peel off in pieces, you do not need to apply a thick layer. If the varnish is transparent, the second layer will not hurt. However, this must be approached carefully. The second layer can be applied only after the first has completely dried.
• As you know, the varnish dries completely in 12 hours. Therefore, you need to plan its application when the hands are not involved in anything.
• An even application can only be achieved when all remnants of the old coating are removed.
• The polishing device makes nails smooth. But in no case should it be abused, since it can damage them. It is also worth noting that in this case the varnish will be applied unevenly.
• When choosing a varnish, you need to pay attention to those products that are based on super-drying. They usually stay on the nails for about a week and dry out very quickly.
• A guarantee of a remarkable result is the presence of artificial proteins in the composition of the product, which strengthen the nails and do not allow them to exfoliate.
• Delamination is facilitated by low-quality nail files. It is necessary to purchase only the tool that is made of abrasive materials that gently affect the horny surface.
• Pumice is also used, which has a fairly soft surface. It perfectly removes burrs, various other defects and evens out the skin around the nails.
• In no case should you shake a jar of varnish, because shaking creates bubbles that can noticeably ruin the manicure.
• Before applying varnish at home, you should not steam your nails, because in this case the surface becomes porous, the varnish lies unevenly.
