Lint-free wipes for manicure: what is it and why are they needed?

To create a manicure at home with your own hands, you need to purchase a certain list of funds. Necessarily need a manicure set, a UV lamp, gel polishes and other auxiliary materials. To perform a beautiful and high-quality coating, do not forget about lint-free napkins. This attribute for manicure appeared in the beauty industry relatively recently, but has already become very popular among masters.

Lint-free napkins are very simple and easy to use. Manufacturers produce them in packs with different volumes. The price of the product depends on this. Initially, manufacturers produced wipes from pre-packaged and cut material. Now on sale appeared roll, having perforation along the tear line.

Rolls come in many varieties:

• with or without a spool, the former are intended for automatic dispensers;
• a different number of napkins per roll;
• made to order.

It is worth noting that the roll significantly reduce the consumption of this material. Packed wipes are created by cutting thin elastic matter into small squares. Initially, they were created specifically for applying gel coatings, as the masters did not like cotton pads at work: they reserve a small pile, which is found only after applying the base. This led to repeated remodeling of the manicure: even the smallest villus reduces the wear time of the coating. Lint-free wipes minimized these shortcomings. Their use is completely identical to the use of cotton pads. They are definitely needed for girls performing manicure procedures at home.

Since performing a manicure without the help of lint-free napkins can deliver many unexpected and uncomfortable nuances, their use is very justified. Lint-free wipes for manicure are used for different purposes:

• removal of a coating softened with acetone: the soft texture of the material does not damage the nail plate and does not scratch the skin around the nail;
• removal of fat from the nail plate before the base coat;
• sticky layer removal;
• processing tools with an antiseptic.

The convenience of lint-free napkins when creating a manicure is explained by a number of their advantages:

If lint-free fabric products have run out or there is no way to purchase them, you can use some alternative options. The first method of replacement is chintz and calico, which is produced in rolls. These alternative is very budget friendly. Buying one such roll for a long time will provide material for manicure. And you can buy it at the nearest fabric store. The next option is wet wipes that need to be dried beforehand. They are very similar in structure to lint-free.

These replacement options are not ideal, but have several disadvantages:

• the fabric has the ability to unfold along the cut, and in this case, the thread can become a very big problem;
• such wipes will be tougher to the touch compared to lint-free.

Using wet wipes does not guarantee an excellent result. To use them, you need to test products of different companies in advance, as manufacturers produce products from different fabric materials. This option is dangerous for allergy sufferers: wet wipes may contain allergenic components. Therefore, you will need to conduct an allergy test. Another disadvantage of this method is the smell. The procedure for creating a manicure and so consists of using a large number of preparations with a variety of aromas that are not always pleasant to the client. Wet wipes add another touch of smell to a large collection of flavors. Therefore, the use of specialized napkins for manicure is the best choice.
