Unedged manicure

In the search for the best ideas for caring for her nails, a modern woman is increasingly turning to unedged manicure. This trend is gaining momentum today and is crowding out the usual edging technique due to the exclusion of skin injuries during nail processing. What is it, what are the advantages and disadvantages, how to perform an unedged technique and what is needed for this - the material of this article will tell.

Unedged manicure is a real find for women with a constant lack of free time. In fact, this method is a hygienic manicure technique in which no cutting tools are used during removal of keratinized cuticle cells. It would seem that this is impossible in principle, but the technique itself proves the opposite. With it, do not use either the cuticle or manicure scissors.

In the process, they use special products that soothe the skin and help to remove the cuticle painlessly. In addition, they slow down its growth and simplify the movement. The difference between edged and unedged technique lies in the fact that the second technique does not touch the root of the nail, and therefore it continues to grow even and smooth.

Unedged manicure is called European, since it originates in Europe. There, it has been used by modern women for a long time, in our country it is perfectly mastered by the master of nail service. However, this method is much better than the usual cutting technique.

• With regular regular manipulations, you can get rid of such a common problem as an instantly growing terry cuticle.
• In the process, you do not need to cut off the excess skin to the meat, just push the cuticle with a special stick after preliminary skin preparation.
• The technique is safe, it does not traumatize the skin, does not cause any redness or, moreover, infections that may appear with a trimmed manicure. At the same time, it is possible to perform hand treatment both with softening by means of a bath and without it. Due to the lack of cutting tools, one can not be afraid of the formation of burrs: they simply will not be.
• The technique is quite simple, for its development does not need special knowledge and tools. Do not need expensive cosmetics for further care.

However, unedged manicure has its drawbacks.

• For example, one of them can be called the duration of the transition. For example, sometimes it takes up to several months to completely switch from a cut-off method of processing nails to a cut-free one. And the matter here can be complicated by a rather rigid and dense cuticle, which is characteristic with the frequent implementation of the edged technique.
• You need to be prepared for the fact that after the first procedure, burrs may appear. This is also bad, but after the transition is completed, they will no longer appear on female hands.
• In addition, you will have to take care of your hands regularly, which at the initial stage of the transition can be prevented by elementary laziness.
• Sometimes the effect may not be noticeable from the first procedure, which can upset the client.
• An important point is the fact that this technique is especially good for the fair sex, who have very delicate and thin skin.

To date There are two main options for performing unedged manicure. In the first case, the nails are not soaked at all, in the second, baths with warm water are used.

• The first technique is called the dry method. It is inconvenient in that its implementation in some cases may be accompanied by an allergic skin reaction to the substances used.
• Wet technique Today is more common. In the process of preliminary softening and steaming in warm water, it is possible to prepare a rigid cuticle better.
• In addition to two standard techniques, there are hot unedged techniquewhich uses a special lotion.

Given that a standard set for manicure is not needed here, It is worth preparing for unedged equipment:

• nail file;
• cotton pads;
• a special cuticle stick (made of wood, metal or silicone);
• cuticle softening gel (remover);
• oil or a pencil that strengthens the nails and slows the growth of the cuticle.

As for the nail file, you can use glass, ceramic or paper with mineral spraying. In addition, we can use what we are used to soaking hands and decorative coatings in if we plan to paint our nails right after the unedged technique. You can also prepare a bath with warm soapy water, disposable paper towels and hand cream. Also, special wax may come in handy.

As for the cuticle removal fluid, it is preferable to use products based on fruit or lactic acids. In addition, it is important to select substances that contain ethers or plant extracts.Such drugs do not harm the nails and skin, have a gentle effect. If we talk about the best nail file, then it is worth choosing glass or ceramic (they are enough for a longer period). It is also worth preparing a soft grinder or buff. Using it is easier to correct bumps.

After a woman decides on the type of unedged manicure, you can proceed to its implementation. Each woman can do such a manicure at home. Let's take a step-by-step look at the basic or classic dry-type technique for beginners, which will clearly demonstrate how to quickly and easily make your own high-quality manicure.

• If the nails have an old coating, start with it, removing the varnish with a special liquid without acetone. Such a tool will eliminate brittleness and delamination of the nail plates. You can choose the option with the content of caring oils or vitamins. After this, you need to do your nails, giving them the same shape and length. Do this with a nail file exclusively on dry nails.

• Returning to the dry manicure technique, they begin to apply a special gel to the area around the nail plate to remove the skin. Depending on the variety, the exposure time differs for each product, and therefore, before use, be sure to read the instructions of the seller. The gel should not be allowed to stay on the nails longer than the set time. On average, you can begin to work after 30 seconds or a minute from the time of application of the drug.
• Excess gel is removed with a cotton pad, then an orange stick is taken and treatment of the nail begins. The cuticle is carefully pushed away with it and the softened film is removed at the base of the nail. The skin will be quite easy to separate when working with a stick. After processing each nail, it is important to cleanse the stick of dead skin.
• Work can begin from the center at the base of the nail, gradually moving to the edges. It is important to first move the cuticle, and then gradually remove the dead skin. It is important to move the cuticle to the very base of the nail. After removing the skin on the cuticle, you need to apply oil that slows its growth. It is rubbed not only into the skin at the base, but also into the nail itself.
• Do not apply cuticle remover on all nails at once, so as not to overexpose it. Processing should be carried out in turn on each nail, not forgetting to remove the cuticle remnants by washing hands in soapy water. On average, 20 seconds is enough to get rid of remnants of the remover. After washing your hands, you need to wipe them dry and proceed to polish the nails with a soft grinder.

• The final stage of work involves applying moisturizing oil to the site of the removed cuticle. The tool is rubbed with delicate movements and into the nails themselves. Someone uses wax for such sealing. If, after unedged manicure, you need to apply a decorative coating, it is important to remove all particles of fat remaining after processing the nails with oils or cream.

When processing the edge with a nail file, it is important to try to perform tool movements in one direction. If you drive the file back and forth, this can lead to delamination of the nail on the end. In addition, this can cause a quick splintering of the decorative coating.

If there are burrs or other skin imperfections on the side rollers, you can use a file or grinder to remove them. However, this can only be done with the dry method. To accelerate the transition from cutting technique and skin healing, you can use special caring oils for the cuticle.

After you have unedged manicure, you must not forget to look after your nails, accelerating the transition from one technique to another.

• To do this, you can move the cuticle after taking a bath or shower. This process will prevent its rapid regrowth. When it appears, do not use tweezers, it is better to use a wooden stick.
• In addition, we must not forget about the emollient oil, which must be rubbed into the nails themselves, accelerating their growth by improving blood flow. If burrs are just beginning to appear on the side rollers, they must be dealt with immediately with a file. If everything is done on time, soon there will be no burrs at all.

Unedged manicure is considered a rather controversial topic for discussion, which is proved by female reviews on the forums of sites dedicated to nail design and methods of caring for them. As for the masters, they switch to this method of processing nails and consider it more relevant today. However, clients are not yet ready to completely abandon the trimmed classic manicure, calling it more attractive from an aesthetic point of view.
