Well-groomed hands are considered a business card of a girl, they complement the image and make it more feminine and beautiful. Thanks to modern technologies and equipment, it became possible to make high-quality manicure not only in professional salons, but also at home. To facilitate independent nail care, it’s enough to purchase a manicure machine and use it to process the cuticle and the nail plate.

Recently, many women prefer a hardware manicure, which is carried out using a special machine called a milling cutter. This device consists of a housing with a built-in power supply and a working handle on which various nozzles can be inserted. The machine has a speed controller, on / off mode and indicator. In addition, professional models also feature a foot pedal that allows convenient speed switching.

Thanks to the manicure machine, you can quickly and easily provide care for the nail plates and skin of the hands.

This tool is indispensable for those women who have exfoliating and brittle plates, since it reduces the risk of injury and the formation of allergic reactions.

Despite the fact that the manicure machine is multifunctional, it is most often used to create manicure. To perform the procedure at home, it is recommended to purchase the device at a speed of no more than 10,000 r / m.In beauty salons, masters use equipment with head rotation up to 30-35 thousand r / m. To process nails, the machine should be equipped with a minimum set of nozzles.

• Frez. They are cutting blades that help eliminate fragments of rough skin.
• Boron. This is a cuticle removal tool.
• Polisher. Made of silicone and coated with a special component with a fine abrasive. White nozzles allow you to give smoothness to the nail, blue is used to treat gel and acrylic surfaces, and dark ones eliminate corns and dense formations on the skin.
• Grinder. It helps to correct the shape of the plate and evens out the grooves and undulations on the surface of the stratum corneum.
• Cap. It is a disposable tool and is used to treat rough skin.

Thus, having the apparatus and all of the above nozzles, you can independently tidy the nails and qualitatively prepare them for the subsequent design. Thanks to simple actions in a short time, it is possible to adjust the length and shape of the nail, remove the cuticle and roughened skin areas. After such a procedure, the manicure is perfect and retains its attractive appearance for a long time. In addition, hardware manicure protects nails from damage and makes their surface even and smooth, which is important, for example, for a service jacket.

No matter how beautiful the gel nail design is, it sooner or later loses its attractiveness, so you have to remove it. The easiest and most affordable way in this case will be the use of a manicure device - it will provide a painless and gentle removal of shellac. Unlike the procedure for creating a manicure, the removal of gel or acrylic is carried out at a higher speed of the cutter and requires attention. To clean the nail plates, metal and ceramic nozzles with large notches are used.

Metal ones are made of hard alloys and are well suited for removing a thick layer of gel. They can work in two modes: reverse and direct. The main advantage of nozzles is also the fact that they do not create gel dust.

The gel removal process with a manicure machine is simple. To do this, the master occupies a comfortable position and begins work from the cuticle area, performing movements first clockwise, and then against. Then clean the plate along the edges, sweeping the machine from top to bottom. After hardware removal of the gel, the surface of the marigold remains in the same state as before building.

Today, a large assortment of manicure devices is presented on the market. In addition, each model can differ not only in design, but also in functional features. Therefore, when purchasing a product, it is important to pay attention to some key indicators.

• Power. If the manicure machine will be used in the salon, then it is advisable to choose it with a high speed of rotation of the cutters. For home use, the device with a speed of up to 10,000 r / m is perfect. It costs much less and will allow a novice master to gain skills in working without injuring his nails. For products without a built-in vacuum cleaner, power from 30 to 60 watts is considered optimal.
• Type of engine. The devices are available with collector and brushless motors. The first type is most often found in simple models, such motors at high speeds create a lot of noise, quickly heat up and fail. The second option is considered more progressive and technological. These engines operate silently, as they do not consist of brushes, but of special sensors.

• The location of the cord. Its length should be optimal and not interfere during operation.If the cord is long, then it will constantly assemble into a knot and twist, which will cause many inconveniences. In addition, the attachment point of the wire with the handle should be well insulated. The shape of the wire can be either straight or twisted.
• Lack of vibration. The machine should not create vibrations at a high number of revolutions.
• The handle of the hardware device. Typically, the weight of the pens is from 150 to 200 grams. For work, it is best to choose a heavier handle, since it should not vibrate during the procedure. The diameter of the handle is selected so that it fits easily into the palm of the hand.
• The presence of nozzles. As a rule, most models of manicure machines are equipped with the right number of nozzles (usually five). At the same time, some manufacturers supplement the device with only a minimal set. Therefore, this nuance must be foreseen in advance and, if necessary, additionally purchase files and cutters. A complete set provides for the presence of ceramic, metal and diamond cutters.

• Pedal. Thanks to the presence of foot control, the work process is facilitated.
• Built-in vacuum cleaner. An important condition for creating a manicure is general hygiene and maintaining the workplace clean. The presence of a vacuum cleaner will save you from the formation of gel dust and protect the master from allergic reactions. This is especially important in salons, where a specialist has to serve a lot of clients per day.
• Place of work. In the event that the master plans to perform manicure not only in the salon, but also at the client’s home, it is necessary that the machine be additionally equipped with a handbag or carrying case.
• Overheat protection. With frequent use of the device, it may overheat and fail. That is why a function must be provided that protects the equipment from damage and prolongs its operation.
• Ability to enable reverse rotation. The presence of a reverse is important when processing not only the nail plate, but also the cuticle.

In addition, you should also consider the cost of the product, brand awareness and user reviews.

You also need to make sure that the machine has a standard clamp and all types of nozzles are suitable for it.

After the manicure machine is selected and purchased, you can safely perform manicure at home, but you need to use the device correctly. This will help prevent injury and extend the life of the product. Before starting work, it is necessary to carefully inspect the control unit, micromotor, pedal and make sure that they have no visible defects. Depending on the type of nail treatment, a special nozzle is selected and carefully placed in the socket of the tip of the handle. It must be inserted until it stops and is well fixed.

During operation, the observance of the high-speed mode also plays a huge role, the rotational speed of the milling cutters should not exceed the permissible value - this can lead to microvibration of the motor and subsequent malfunction of the device. At a high rotation speed, not only the nozzles, but also the apparatus itself will be heated. The motor starts when you press the pedal, the speed of its operation must be adjusted smoothly. Nozzles may only be replaced when the device is completely disconnected from the mains.

Regardless of whether a simple manicure or gel removal is planned, the master should use personal protective equipment: a screen (glasses), a mask and gloves. If during operation of the micromotor you feel increased vibration, the work must be stopped and find out the cause of the malfunction. Product repairs should only be carried out at service centers.

It is impossible to work with the device on weight - the master should definitely choose a convenient fulcrum. Cutter movements are made short and smoothly. The surface of the nail is treated along for no more than three seconds (otherwise you can injure the plate and cause a burning sensation).

After the work with the manicure machine is completed, it is important to put it in order. To do this, the outer parts of the device are cleaned of dust with a soft cloth soaked in alcohol or a special cleaning solution. You can also remove dust with a vacuum cleaner. As for the open mechanisms, they are cleaned with brushes.

The frequency of such events depends on the intensity of operation of the device. So, for example, in salons the machine needs to be sent for inspection once every three months. Independently engage in internal cleaning, it should be carried out only by a specialist.

After the theory is studied, you can begin to use a manicure machine. To make hardware processing of nails at home, you should gradually perform some actions.

• First you need to pick up all the necessary nozzles and prepare the skin of the fingers for the procedure. The cuticle can be removed by cutting or soaked with softening oil and put aside with an orange stick.
• Then, a medium-hard diamond cutter is fixed to the handle and the skin around the nails is processed. At this stage, it is important to monitor the sensations: if it is felt that the nozzle removes a small layer, then it is recommended to replace it with another (with more abrasiveness). Also, with the help of a diamond mill, the cuticle area is polished.
• The next step will be the formation of the nail plate using a trapezoidal or cylindrical cutter. Above the fingertip, be sure to leave a minimum length of 2 mm.

• Then the machine polishes the nails - you need to do this carefully so as not to damage the horn surface and not leave scratches on it. The nozzle should perform movements in different directions and not linger on one section for more than a second. The procedure ends with cleaning the plates from dust and treating them with oil. A manicure can be supplemented simply with colored varnish or decorated with an unusual design.

In addition, the device is ideal for removing the gel coating. The rules for using the machine in this case are similar. The work must be carried out sequentially and carefully, making sure that the device does not overheat. However, one should take into account the fact that during the cleaning of the gel a lot of dust occurs, so the machine will have to be periodically cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.
