French Manicure at Home
All know the importance of manicured hands, because they are one of our strongest letters. Elegant hands speak highly of the person who takes them, while ugly nails, broken or dirty can derail all the effort we put into our clothes and our makeup.
The problem is that our fingernails grow fast and that the prices of getting a manicure in living may be high, but with some tips and investing in some household products we can give our nails the attention they deserve without spending a lot money. Spend twenty or thirty minutes to your nails every week and you will always be impeccable.
For this tutorial we have chosen the French manicure type, because it is relatively easy to learn and combines with all your clothes.
Let’s start with the tools you’ll need:
* Nail file.
* Wooden sticks (to push the cuticle) / There are also creams to help remove the cuticles.
* Nail clippers.
* Cotton.
* Nail polish remover.
* Hand Cream.
* Curing: To apply before the enamel.
* Transparent varnish, light pink and white.
* For beginners or those with poor pulse, sold in supermarkets as a nail decals or there is always the cheap option of taking masking tape and make a mark. This allows us to pass the white spot on the tip without the rest of the nail. The recommendation is to remove the sticker right after painting it, because if the paint is dry you can start to remove the adhesive.
Now the steps:
1. Cut nails. We must leave enough margin to implement the target.
2. Trim fingernails to give the final shape, either round or square, the one you like.
3. Soak hands in warm water for 3 to 5 minutes. This softens the nails and helps to remove the cuticle.
4. You push the cuticle with the wooden stick on the edges so that it hides. We must not push too hard or take too much, as it will continue getting more. The nail should never hurt.
5. We apply the lotion, but you have to remove the nail using a cotton swab with alcohol.
6. At this point you can apply the hardener and pink base.
7. Here comes the critical time to implement the target. It is best to start at one corner of the tip and rotate the nail until well coated.
8. After dried and make sure that white coating can be applied over the transparent glaze to polish it. It is best to apply a double layer of the latter to ensure secure attachment.
