Tips for Nail Care
Appearance of nails is largely a reflection of the general state of human health. If they are brittle or exfoliate, you must take vitamins( A and Complex B, C, as well as iron, phosphorus, calcium).Strengthens the nails of gelatin, more precisely gelatinous protein, which delivers to the nail plate all the elements necessary for its nutrition. It is proved that daily consumption of 10 g of gelatin with soup, milk or fruit jelly strengthens the nails considerably.
Many troubles deliver nails with their illnesses. Most often it is mycosis or blastomycosis. All diseases must be treated patiently, under the guidance of a dermatologist, until complete elimination.
Beautiful, carefully decorated and well-groomed nails emphasize the elegance of the hands and decorate every woman. But for the nails to be healthy and smooth, systematic care is necessary for them.
For painting nails, there is a whole set of enamels and varnishes. Several special types of varnish allow you to make a highly professional and high-quality manicure yourself:
"Base lacquer" - the basis for tonal coating. Strengthens the nails, protects them from stratification and promotes a uniform distribution of tonal varnish. It is necessary to protect or treat a natural nail from the effects of lacquer and for a stronger bond between the lacquer and the nail.
"Top varnish" - is applied over the tonal varnish. Gives shine to the nails, 2-3 times increases the resistance of the varnish, prevents its cracking, chipping and turbidity.
"Pure shine of nails" - a special kind of shiny varnish without a shade, used instead of colored varnish and giving nails a well-groomed appearance.
"Natural" is a natural nail polish.
"Acrylic hardener" - a special varnish for the repair of damaged nails.
"Fine silvery luster" - spectacular silvery sequins, used as a surface layer on nails.
The most resistant varnishing happens when the varnish is applied in three layers: the first layer must be a colorless base lacquer. After it dries well, a second coat of colored lacquer is applied. The brush is immersed in a vial with a varnish for spreading each nail. After the second coat has dried, a third layer of colored or "top" varnish is applied. Do not apply the lacquer tightly to the nail bed - prolonged contact with the skin can cause inflammation. Completing the manicure, strengthen the lacquer, substituting the nails for a stream of running water. The varnish dries more quickly if the hands are set in motion. Do not try to speed up the drying process with the help of strong heat - with rapid hardening, the varnish can crack.
The choice of varnish color depends on your taste. This takes into account the color of lipstick and clothing, mood, the chosen image, the occasion, the shape of the nails. Bright varnishes look good on narrow and oblong nails, and wide and short are more suitable for calm light colors.
Ideal - the same color of varnish and lipstick, although combinations are possible in the basic tone, but with different nuances. The undesirable combination is a matte lipstick and a lacquer with a pearl luster.
A win-win everyday option - pastel colors of beige-peach, light pink or light brown. On nails of any shape and length, this varnish looks elegant and not too flashy. Always actual saturated red varnishes in combination with the same lipstick. Especially spectacular, they look on short, narrow nails in the shape of a spatula. A perfect choice for the evening - nails of noble wine tones or short dark red nails.
If you take care of your nails, do not use acetone to remove varnish. The liquid for removing varnish easily cleanses the nails of the leftover varnish without irritating the skin, and vitamins and special additives strengthen the skin around the nail.
