Long nails have long been out of fashion. They have long been replaced by a short, practical length. In addition, short nails are not only fashionable, but also convenient, since now there are many professions in which long nails are not appropriate both externally and in the performance of professional duties. Yes, and household chores, with short nails, it is much more convenient to perform. The fashion industry offers owners of short nails a wide selection of manicure designs for any occasion and for every taste.
Let’s look at the basic rules of manicure.
Choosing the shape of nails
Experts recommend paying attention to the structure of your cuticles when choosing a nail shape. The shape of the free edge should be close to its structure, which creates an optical balance, and the nail plate will look more natural. Also, for short nails, it is not recommended to choose a square shape, since such a shape will visually shorten not only the nail itself, but also the hand as a whole. The ideal shape for short nails is an oval, as it visually lengthens the nail plate.
We prepare the necessary tools
For home manicure, a basic set is suitable: nail scissors with sharp blade and rounded edge, nail file (it is recommended to have nail files with different types of grinding), pliers and orange sticks (to remove the cuticle). With the help of orange sticks, the cuticle is pushed back.
And do not forget about the sterilization of instruments. You can sterilize with boiling water, as well as alcohol-containing liquids.
Trays
One of the stages of preparing nails for manicure are baths. With this step, you will soften the cuticle and rough skin, and thereby facilitate the removal process. Baths can be done with salt, with lemon juice (if there are no cracks and inflammations on the hands), and water can also be replaced with a decoction of chamomile.
