In the technique of performing the manicure is divided into several main types:

trimmed manicure( classic);

unedged manicure( European);

SPA manicure;

hot manicure. In turn, each of the

of these species can include several different procedures, for example, with an unedged manicure the cuticle can be removed in various ways: dissolve with a special preparation or move back into the nail. Types of SPA manicure vary in the number and composition of the procedures performed.

Trimming manicure

Trimming manicure is the cheapest and fastest method for achieving the ideal condition of heavily neglected nails.

Sequence of

1. Pre-soak the finger tips in a special aqueous solution.

2. Raise the cuticle with an "orange" stick over the nail plate.

3. Cut with scissors or bite off the tweezers.

Unfortunately, cuticle cutting leads to its coarsening, as well as to accelerated and thickened growth. Once grown up, it will be strewn with small burrs.

The trimmed manicure includes the usual procedures, such as: the removal of lacquer residues, the bath, softening the nails, shortening the nails( if necessary), shaping them with special tools, grinding, softening the brush tray, processing the skin around the nails and cuticles, the final bath and the application of varnish. In addition, the classic edging manicure can include such intermediate procedures as cleaning the under-nail space, rubbing the hands, applying creams and oils, massage, etc.

Gradually the trimmed manicure gives way to the unedged( European) manicure, where the cuticle procedure is not performed, therefore, scissors and other cutting objects are not used. This is explained by the fear of Europeans before contracting AIDS through getting into the blood of infection with manicure instruments.

European unedged manicure

In the process of European unedged manicure, the cuticle is removed with special preparations containing a certain percentage of essential acids( milk, fruit, etc.).They soften the cuticle and disinfect it.

With European manicure, two new ways of caring for the cuticle are used. The first is to soften the cuticle in a special oil or gel and then gently and gently remove it with a special stick. The second way: a small amount of cream is applied to the cuticle, which softens, exfoliates and thins the cuticle, and after 3-5 minutes it is enough to wipe the nail - and the cuticle as it was. These drugs further inhibit the growth of the cuticle.
