Every girl dreams of beautiful and well-groomed hands. Now a huge number of manicurists offer their services, but there is not always time and opportunity to visit a specialist. It also happens that after dubious services in the salon, you no longer want to trust the masters. In this case, it will not be superfluous to know the technique of independent work with nails at home. This can be learned in a couple of months, and we also need manicure tools ...

Consider what is required to create a beautiful nail design at home. There are two options for DIY at home: European manicure and classic manicure.

The first option involves taking care of your hands without cutting tools, the so-called European manicure. This is what we recommend for girls at home. This method is the safest and really helps to maintain the beautiful appearance of your nails without much effort.

We do European manicure

For European manicure you will need:

1. Remover... Choose the safest formulations. For example, a ROSI brand remover. It will safely and gently soften the cuticle and remove dead skin cells. Does not require rinsing with water or neutralizing with additional agents.
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Orange sticks... These sticks are used to safely push back the cuticle and clean the nail after applying the remover. They are sold in different sizes, the most convenient sizes for home use are 7.5 cm and 11 cm.
   
3. Napkins... It is enough to remove the remnants of the remover with napkins. There are a lot of them on the market. Choose softer, lint-free wipes.
   
4. File for shaping nails. All files are classified according to their shape and abrasiveness. If everything is simple and clear with the form, then we will analyze what the file abrasive is, and which one we need. The abrasive of a nail file is its hardness. The unit for measuring the stiffness of the files is GRIT.
   

With files with abrasives from 180 to 240 grit, you can safely file natural nails. Abrasive from 240 to 500 grit is used for grinding, well, and more than 1000 grit - for polishing nails.

Tools and products for classic manicure

This is the most traumatic method because cutting tools are used. Certain skills are required to work with them, and if you do not have experience with such tools, then we recommend that you perform a European manicure. Not all mistakes of a home manicure can be corrected by a master, some mistakes may have consequences that will have to be corrected for a long time ...

Let's make a list of tools that will be required for a classic manicure:

1. Water bath... Before a manicure, you need to steam your hands in water for 15-20 minutes to make the cuticle treatment easier.
   
2. Pusher... Such a tool is needed to lift the cuticle and clean the nail plate from pterygium (skin that has grown on the nail plate). On the one hand, a pusher resembles a scapula, so it is important to pick it up under the bend of your nail. And when working, observe an important rule: do not put pressure on the nail in any case.
   
3. Scissors or nippers... Everyone chooses for himself the tool that is convenient for him to work with. These should be professional cuticle tools with good sharpening. How easy it is to trim the cuticle will depend on this. Be sure to treat the instrument with an antiseptic. Consider a water-based antiseptic from the ROSI brand name manufacturer.
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. File for natural nails... We choose a nail file according to the same principle as for European manicure.
   
5. Cuticle oil... It is important to process the cuticle after the cut in order to restore the skin and prevent inflammation of microcracks in the skin.
   

In both cases, at the end of the manicure procedure, you decide what final coating will be on the nail - varnish or gel varnish, or a free nail plate. If you're just taking a break from gel or gel polish, take the excuse and support your pens with refurbishment.

For example, the ROSI remanufacturing kit. This tool restores the nail plate, helps to strengthen and improve the structure of the nail, providing additional nutrition with vitamins.
In addition, regardless of the chosen manicure technology, it is imperative not to forget about the prevention of cleanliness in the home manicure room, and about personal hygiene, cleanliness of hands is a guarantee of health.

Taking care of your own health is a personal responsibility of each person. Pay attention to how often you wash and decontaminate your hands at home. Remember to prepare clean hands before your home manicure. And even more so, it is imperative not to forget about cleanliness of hands after visiting public places, after the street, toilet, even playing with pets, or during the season of viral epidemics after communication and shaking hands.



In general, for the hands it is recommended:

• Antibacterial soaps can be in liquid or solid form;
  
• Skin antiseptics in the form of a solution or gel;
  
• There are antiseptic wipes for mobility.
  

Such a variety of disinfectants will help you to carry out a quick and effective hygienic treatment of your hands in any situation.

It is up to you to decide which type of manicure to choose for home care. Take this matter seriously. It is important that hand care does not harm.
