How to gently and evenly paint your nails yourself?

Well-groomed nails are an integral part of the image of any woman who attaches importance to her appearance. When there is no time or money to go to the nail salon, you have to paint it yourself, which at first can be quite difficult. To learn how to paint your nails yourself, you need to master the technology of applying varnish with your left and right hand, as well as know some techniques that make it possible to facilitate the task.

Before undertaking the painting of nails on the hands, you need to remove the old varnish. It is better to choose an agent that does not contain acetone. Let it be a little more expensive, but the nail plates will not suffer. You may need to work on the cuticle by removing the stratum corneum.

In addition to the fact that the nails need to be shaped so that all the plates repeat the outlines of each other, they should be made smooth - varnishes and gel polishes fit well only on a perfectly flat surface. Special files or buffs will help to solve the problem.

Not every girl quickly succeeds in learning how to make a beautiful manicure for herself.If it is easy to act with one hand, the other works much worse. So evenly applying varnish often does not work.

Before applying the decorative layer, the bottle with the coloring agent should be heated in the palms of your hands. You can’t shake it, because air bubbles form in it, which, when hit with a drop of coloring agent on the nail plate, will spoil the whole design.

Gently applying nail polish will help a clear adherence to the staining pattern. When the base layer on the nails is dry, you can take a colored varnish, dip a brush into it and draw it along the inner edge of the neck of the bottle, so that all excess glass is back. If there is too much varnish, it will certainly flow into hard-to-reach places.

It is necessary to paint starting from the central part of the nail plate of the little finger so that the distance to the cuticle is about five millimeters. Then the varnish with neat movements of the brush reach the skin roller around the nail. If the varnish is of high quality, then when pressing on the brush, its villi capture only the surface of the nail, without crawling onto the cuticle. Thanks to this, a neat line is obtained near the hole, following the outline of the nail. Then the varnish is stretched to the end of the nail, and after that, in the form of a semicircle, a decorative layer is applied on the sides.

To varnish sideways reached the very edge, you can slightly push the skin roller. To do this, just lightly press your finger to the countertop, moving the cuticle in such a way. In similar movements, repeat the staining pattern on the other side of the nail. When the varnish dries, you can apply another layer of it to avoid gaps and irregularities, and then fix the manicure with a transparent composition.

The last step is nutrition of the cuticle with oil suitable for it. But if the skin around the nails, despite the desire to act cautiously, is colored, you will have to wipe off the excess with nail polish remover. To make it convenient, in this tool you need to dip a cotton swab and remove all stains. You can also use the corrector, which contains a special liquid that displays the remains of the varnish coating. Thanks to its convenient shaft, it is possible to bring a manicure well to a presentable appearance.

When you apply the varnish yourself, it is important to act correctly - in the same, memorized movements. You can use the trick by adopting adhesive tape. Adhesive tape with a width of no more than two centimeters is suitable for the procedure (if it is wider, it will be inconvenient to work). You can take transparent and masking tape, or even just tape. On each finger you need to attach three pieces of tape - on the sides and across the finger at the nail, trying to bend it in an arcuate as close to the perimeter of the nail. The use of such funds will avoid annoying contamination around the nails during staining. There is only one drawback with this method of manicuring at home - traces of glue may remain on the cuticle. It will have to be additionally put in order.

Some women use cream to protect the skin, removing it after the completion of manicure. But this is also a risky method, since a greasy substance can get on your nails.

A good way to solve the problem with finger blots is to use PVA glue. It can be applied around the nails with a brush and left to dry. Grasping, this composition turns into a film, which, if pulled, easily separates from the skin, leaving no residue on it. Thanks to this, the manicure will be very neat. It is even easier to wrap a finger with cling film, and with your other hand make a hole in it above the nail plate. There are special and more expensive means. They are used to create images on the nails, when applied to the surface turning into a film.

The use of auxiliary tools to create a manicure does not eliminate the need to deftly act with both hands. If a woman is right-handed, it is advisable for her to first paint her fingers on her right hand, and then on her left.

When a left-handed person acts with his right hand and a right-handed person acts with his left hand, one needs to draw a little less varnish on the brush than when working with the “main” hand. Instead of moving with a brush, you can move your finger on which the varnish is applied. If you still have no experience in applying varnish on the "uncomfortable side", it is better to decorate your nails in bright colors. So the hands do not attract the special attention of others who see that they are simply well-groomed. Regular application of varnish yourself sooner or later will lead to the fact that the manicure will work out well.

Having learned to evenly paint your nails in one tone, you can master the technique of applying in different colors. It is convenient to use a sponge for this. You can use the one with which you wash the dishes, or buy a special one in the store where manicure tools are sold. To get an unusual manicure, first you need to carefully paint your nails in a light tone and wait until the varnish is completely dry. Then, several strokes of different varnishes are applied to the sponge in a row, a finger is covered with cling film, a hole is made under it in the nail and a sponge is applied with the applied coloring composition. It turns out an interesting transition from one color to another.

When all nails are painted with such a gradient, a fixing transparent layer is applied on top. In such creativity, you can go even further, for example, glue rhinestones to the nails or apply bitmap drawings to them with the help of a toothpick. Drawing lines or oblong patterns on the nails will make the nails visually longer.

To achieve the desired result when creating your own manicure, it is better to follow certain rules.

• You need to use only high-quality varnishes, which easily and evenly lie on the surface.
• To extend the shelf life of the varnish, it must be stored in a cool, dark place.
• Instead of an expensive degreaser, you can use regular alcohol.
• During the application of varnish, you can not keep your hands on weight. It is necessary that the hands and elbows rest on a solid surface.
• Before applying the decorative layer to the next nail, it is necessary to dip the brush in varnish.

• Not having enough experience in creating manicures on their own nails, one should not stain the plates near the cuticle itself. It's okay if the stained area ends at a distance of 0.5 millimeters from the skin. But the nails seem longer than they really are.
• If the manicure is performed using gel polish, then during the main procedure you need to keep your hands and the stain away from the lamp for drying, so that the paint does not catch before the set.
• To understand whether the decoration product has dried, you can easily hit your nails with each other or lightly touch them on your lips.
• When the procedure is over, you should not run to wash the dishes, wash or do other things. In order for the manicure to remain in excellent condition for a long time, you need to have no contact with the liquid for several hours.
