Nail cutters: features, types and tips for choosing

Any nail cutter creates a single cycle of a hardware manicure. Nozzles have the necessary forms, which depend on the type of their application, and any of them cannot be replaced with a tool of another type.

An alternative to a cut manicure is a hardware one - this is grinding the nail plate and the skin around it with the use of an electrical device and cutters performing a rotational process. This method of polishing nails does not involve the use of scissors and other cutting objects.

Grinding nails using cutters:

• low traumatic when properly treated with the tool, it removes dead skin without causing injury to the cuticle;
• allows you to form a line without flaws the first time;
• makes it possible to grind the skin around the nail, but this can not be done in a manicure.

Apparatus manicure consists of several stages. The first one is preparatory, which consists of removing the artificial turf, drying the nail plate and cuticle. At this stage, apply tools for manicure of hard alloys or ceramics.

For hardware manicure need a few tools.

• Nozzle with non-natural diamond coating, having a cylindrical configuration - a device that is part of all kits for beginners. Plus the fact that with the help of it you can gently and layer-by-layer remove material. Disadvantages: it is lower than the ceramic, the speed of removal of conventional or gel polish.
• Cylindrical mill with diamond metalworking. It has the shape of a truncated cone with a diametrical notch in the form of a spiral. The truncated part grinds the rollers from the sides, and the side - the length of the nail. Positive quality - you can gently file off the nail, and negative - the notches are constantly clogged, and they must be cleaned in time.

• Mill with a truncated cone for a nail machine. Made of hard alloys, tapered, with diametrical or cross-shaped grooves. Of the minuses is that it is unacceptable for beginners, since experience of its application is needed. It is very hard at work and removes a large layer of the nail, and if the momentum is low, then vibration is transmitted to the nail plate.
• Ceramic "corn" found its use in home and salon conditions. It has a different size notches. Pros: cuts varnish with high speed, while acting gently. Cons: high cost, as well as the heating process is observed at low speeds.

Treatment of the skin around the nail occurs with the use of special tips.

• Nozzle-needle or fissure. It is a tapered narrowing and ending with a thin tip. A peculiar resemblance of pusher and scapula, used in edged manicure. The nozzle is designed for one of the polishing cycles of the nail - lifting the skin around it. Placed under a certain angle, the upper part is adjacent to the extreme layer of the cuticle, and the bottom - does not reach the nail.A thin tip creates a gutter between the cuticle and the nail plate, which makes it possible to prevent injury to the nail. The side of the nozzle, representing the truncated cone, lead from right to left, and the edge of the nozzle cuts off most of the cuticle. Then corundum nozzle cleaned up the remaining skin.
• Bullet head used for more in-depth treatment of the nail sinuses, this is due to the fact that it expands to the base. But for polishing the skin in the nail, it is undesirable.
• Spherical nozzle applicable for cleaning the nail from the remnants of the cuticle and for grinding the side rollers.

Ceramics are used to clean the horny skin from the nail plate, it very quickly cope with the artificial surface. Nozzles are used at low speeds. Corundum cutters are designed to gently remove the bottom layer of the cuticle. Cutters made of hard metal alloys are used for polishing the cuticle and side rollers. Cutting gel polish with such cutters is a fairly long process, but they help to avoid injury. Diamond tools contain in their structure natural or non-natural diamond grit.

In order to change the mill on the machine, There are several special devices.

• Hand clampwhich can be opened by pressing a button. Then open the gap for the handle and insert it.
• Semiautomatic works at handle turns clockwise. Having replaced, it is necessary to turn the handle in the opposite direction until a click is heard. This type of replacement is more comfortable than the previous one. Used in devices in the cabin, and at home.
• Automatic clamp - here you need to insert the milling cutter, and it will lock itself.

These include several options for simple equipment for manicure.

• Cylinder-drum, one of them can be replaced by other cutters due to the characteristics of the structure. The side of it acts as a spherical nozzle, and the edge as a truncated cone.
• As well as the novice desirable attachment, which would have penetrated under the side parts.
• A pointed cone is a cross between a cylindrical and a fissure nozzle. The most comfortable tool to bring nails in order.
• Nozzle for polishing the nail and peel around it.
• A ceramic cutter with small teeth that will allow you to remove the coating of ordinary and gel polish without straining.

This equipment includes several cutters.

• Spherical mill with a diamond dusting. It is difficult for beginners to work with it, because in the absence of skills one can injure the nail.
• Cutters that are small, treat rough skin near the nail. A rather large ball is used to polish the skin around the nail. The specialist selects the tool depending on the structure of the client's nails.
• Mill from ceramics - "corn", with no skills, it becomes very hot, starts vibrating and can damage the nail. Therefore, newcomers such a nozzle is better not to use.

German ceramic cutters are endowed with varying degrees of abrasiveness, which is the ability of the nozzle to remove substances with which it comes into contact. This property occurs due to particles whose caliber depends on where they will be applied: nails, cuticle or lacquer coating. The degree of abrasiveness is determined by the color of the rim in diamond-coated and ceramic cutters.

• Black colors are typical for very rough products. On the roughest on two rims. Such products are used to remove extended nails, they should not have contact with the skin. They are used only by experienced professionals.
• The bezel of green color speaks about dusting of a hard crumb.Such tools are used for cutting varnish and horny skin on the hands and feet.
• Cutters with a blue bezel handle the cuticle and rollers; this is the most widely used level of abrasiveness.
• The red rim is small particles, such products are suitable for filing the nail and cuticle.
• Yellow - the smallest particles, cutters with their presence have the smallest abrasiveness.
• White rim - cutters used to polish the nail.

Applying a hardware manicure at home should be carried out according to the recommendations. Disinfectants must be used so that the instruments and their area of ​​use are disinfected. Be wary of using machines with strong rotational speeds to help prevent injury.

Apparatus manicure includes a number of steps.

• With the help of a cylindrical cutter, the skin is lifted around the nail and the surplus is removed, moving the tool in one direction. The main thing is not to put pressure on the nozzle to prevent injuries.
• Using a fissure cutter, treat the raised skin and nail sinuses, which will give the skin smoothness and eliminate flaking.
• Corundum milling cutter is used to prepare the skin around the nail to clean and eliminate cracks.
• With the help of mills-bullets process all inaccessible places in the nail sinuses. This nozzle is not suitable for handling the cuticle, as it will cause cuts.
• The use of a spherical cutter to the end clears the cuticle. First, the movements are pressing, then polishing.
• Now the stage of polishing nails and the formation of the desired type.

Tools for manicure nails should not be dirty, they should not be germs. They must be sterilized using different disinfecting solutions, such as Alaminol, Optimax, Gigasept, Korzoleks. These compounds are sold in the form of concentrates, and for the upcoming disinfection they need to be prepared.

During the disinfection procedure it is necessary to take into account the rigidity of the material and the depth of the incisions of the nozzle. If the coating is soft, it may deteriorate due to prolonged disinfection, thus, the procedure time must be reduced. Sterilization lasts on average from half an hour to 40 minutes.

To make the equipment serve for quite a long time, need to care for them.

• Doing manicure, you can not too much pressure on the nozzle. This may cause the head at the base of the handle to warp, causing the tool to become unusable.
• Replacement of nozzles should be carried out in accordance with special rules, usually they are indicated in the manual for using the device.
• After passing disinfection, the instrument is stored in a case, where it will be kept from moisture, dust and various external influences.
