How long does a manicure take and how long does it last?

The rhythm of life of a modern woman is often refined to minutes. One of the regular procedures for nail care is to perform a manicure. Let's dwell on the question of time and designate how much it takes to complete this or that type, how long it lasts.

The time spent on manicure will vary depending on the type of procedure. It is important to understand that it consists of step-by-step steps, each of which takes its own period of time. At the same time, there are no strict rules, because in one case a professional is involved, in others we perform manicure on our own, without any specific experience.

This can be an edged or unedged option, with or without soaking the nails. In addition, there is an express technique, the terms of which are compressed from 20 minutes to half an hour. Of course, with this method, the master does not have time to complete the art painting, but in half an hour he removes the cuticle, puts the nails in order and puts on them a high-quality coating that will adorn the nails for at least two weeks.

On average, the stages of manicure may take a different time duration:

• full preparation of nails with cleansing the cuticle and pterygium may require at least 30-40 minutes;
• the base is applied in a thin layer, sealing the end of the nail plates for about 5-10 minutes;
• drying the base material in a special lamp from 30 seconds to two minutes (depends on the type and power of the device used);
• apply a pigmented gel polish to the nails with a thin layer in about 5-10 minutes;
• drying the coating for 30 seconds to 2 minutes;
• if necessary, repeat the step with coloring the nails with colored varnish and sealing for 6-10 minutes and subsequent drying;
• the finish coating is applied for about 5 minutes, dried up to two minutes;

Monochrome painting of nails can take about 40 minutes, provided that the nails have a simple design or time is spent on forming a smile of a jacket. On average, the total duration can be an hour or two. If the work is performed by a professional in his field, it can take no more than an hour, provided that the master will make a complex design with artistic painting of accent nails.

The extension of the plates can also affect the duration of the procedure. On average, a professional performing a hardware manicure with extension takes about 3.5-4 minutes for one nail. During this time, the specialist manages to remove the old coating, remove the length, align the arch, polish the nail and clean the cuticle.

One cannot ignore the way the design is carried out. It takes longer time to manually paint and lay out stones, the slider design allows you to reduce the duration of manicure. If the master uses water design techniques, time will increase, because you will have to spend it on creating a pattern, transferring it further to the nail and sealing so that the coating does not go away with the first hand wash.

In an hour you can complete a simple design. When you need a creative approach, you can not meet this framework. For example, it is a very long time to do bubble manicure, creating the effect of round chewing gum from thin layers of gel polish. Two hours will not be enough for it, since each applied layer will have to be dried and sealed.

The coatings on the nails dry differently. For ordinary varnish, depending on its density and density, it may take several minutes. As for gel polishes, they dry for a maximum of two minutes, even if this is a layer with a slider. Drying time must not be prolonged, as this may cause the bubble to take up.

A well-made manicure can stay on the nails without the need for adjustment from two to four weeks. In some cases, clients can go with design for up to two, two and a half months. However, the masters repeatedly emphasize that it is extremely undesirable to move around with painted and extended nails. Correction should be done approximately two to three weeks after the manicure.

In order not to harm the longevity of a manicure, do not reduce the basic technique. Drying time cannot be neglected, as this leads to a quick peeling of the applied coating. You can reduce time by simplifying the design. For example, instead of painting, you can use the rub, stamping, slider design. If a manicure is done without design, it takes less time.

Few people thought that we ourselves often reduce the wear of a manicure. In order to preserve the result for a long time, it is important to listen to the recommendations of a specialist:

• you can not constantly steam your hands and keep them in hot water for a long time;
• you need to protect your fingers from contact with household chemicals;
• it is undesirable to make frequent baths for hands;
• Do not bang your fingernails on a hard surface;
• it is important to apply layers thinly, drying them all the time allotted for this;
• we must not forget about the mandatory removal of the dispersion layer after the final sealing of the nails;
• no matter how long the manicure lasts, you can not make low-quality sealing of the end face;

In the first day after applying the varnish, it is important to protect your hands from contact with water: a long stay in it contributes to the detachment of varnish.In addition, it is important to properly perform the manicure initially. For example, a frequent cause of detachment is leakage of varnish over the cuticle and side rollers.
