When on trips to the nail salon there is no time or money, you have to paint them yourself, which at first is quite difficult. To learn how to paint the nails itself, you need to master the technology of applying varnish with your left and right hand, as well as know some techniques that make it easier to complete the task.

Preparation of the surface of the nails

Before you start painting your nails on your hands, you need to remove the old varnish. It is better to choose a product that does not contain acetone. Let it be somewhat more expensive, but the nail plates will not be affected. You may need to work on the cuticle, removing the cornified layer.

It is important to ensure that the fingers are not wet or with the remnants of the cream. Otherwise, the newly applied lacquer will peel off. To avoid this, it is better not to wet your hands for an hour before the procedure. Also, the surface of each nail is preferably degreased.

What to do if the nail plate uneven?

Besides the fact that the nails need to be shaped so that all the plates repeat the outlines of each other, they should be made smooth - the varnishes and gel varnishes fit well only on a perfectly flat surface. Special nail files or buffs will help solve the problem.

To as a result of the impact of decorative varnishes nails do not acquire a yellowish tint, they can be covered with a transparent composition. Special tool is easy to find on sale.

Application technology

Learning to make a beautiful manicure itself quickly manages not every girl. Even if it is easy to act with one hand, the other works much worse. So it is often impossible to apply smooth lacquer.

Before applying the decorative layer of the bottle with the coloring agent should be heated in the palms. It is impossible to shake it, since air bubbles are formed in it, which, if they come in contact with a drop of a coloring agent on the nail plate, will spoil the whole appearance.

Accurately applying nail polish to your nails will help to follow the staining pattern clearly. When the base layer on the nails is dry, you can take a colored lacquer, dip a brush into it and hold it along the inner edge of the bottle neck, so that all excess glass back. If the varnish is too much, it will certainly flow into hard-to-reach places.

It is necessary to paint starting from the central part of the little fingernail plate so that the distance to the cuticle is about five millimeters. Then lacquer neat movements of the brush down to the skin roller around the nail. If the lacquer is of high quality, then when pressing on the brush, its villi capture only the surface of the nail, not crawling onto the cuticle. Thanks to this, a neat line follows the hole, following the outline of the nail. Then the varnish is stretched to the end of the nail, and then the decorative layer is applied in the shape of a semicircle on the sides.

To the side of the lacquer reached the very edge, you can slightly move the skin roller. To do this, lightly press your finger to the tabletop, pushing the cuticle. Similar movements should be repeated scheme staining on the other side of the nail. When the varnish dries, you can apply another layer of it, allowing you to avoid gaps and irregularities, and then fix the manicure with a transparent composition.

You can dry the manicure in the dryer, with a hairdryer or wait until natural hardening occurs.

The last stage - feeding the cuticle with the oil suitable for it. But if the skin around the nails, despite the desire to act carefully, is colored, you will have to erase the excess nail polish remover. To be comfortable, in this tool you need to dip a q-tip and remove all stains. You can also use the corrector, which contains a special liquid that removes residual lacquer coating. Thanks to its convenient core, it is possible to bring the manicure to a presentable look well.

When applying lacquer yourself, it is important to act correctly - with the same, learned movements. You can use the trick, adopting Scotch tape. An adhesive tape of no more than two centimeters wide will be suitable for the procedure (if it is wider, it will be inconvenient to work). You can take and transparent, and masking tape, and even just duct tape. On each finger, you need to attach three pieces of tape - on the sides and across the finger of the nail, trying to arch it as close as possible to the perimeter of the nail. The use of such tools will avoid annoying dirt around the nails during dyeing. Such a way to make a manicure at home has only one drawback - traces of glue may remain on the cuticle. It will have to be further put in order.

Some women use a cream to protect their skin, removing it after completing a manicure. But this is also a risky way, because a fatty substance can get on the nails.

A good way to solve the problem with the blots on the fingers is to use white glue. It can be applied around the nails with a brush and left to dry. Grasping this composition turns into a film, which, if pulled, is easily separated from the skin, leaving no traces on it. Thanks to this, the manicure will be very neat. It is even easier to wrap a finger with a plastic wrap, and use the other hand to make a hole in it above the nail plate. There are special more expensive products. They are used to create images on the nails, when applied to the surface turning into a film.

The use of tools for creating manicure does not negate the need to deftly act with both hands. If the woman is right-handed, it is advisable for her to first paint her fingers on her right hand and then on her left.

In order for the varnish to lay down well, the hand on which the nails are painted must be relaxed. You must directly put the little finger. Ring finger should be turned. The brush should be held with thumb and forefinger.

When a left-handed person acts with his right hand, and a right-handed person with his left, you need to use slightly less varnish on a brush than when working with the “main” hand. You can instead of moving the brush to move the finger, which is applied varnish. If there is still no experience in applying lacquer on the “uncomfortable side,” it is better to decorate your nails in light colors. So hands do not attract the special attention of others, who see that they are simply well-groomed. Regular application of lacquer on your own will sooner or later lead to a good manicure.

Having learned to even paint the nails in one tone, you can master the technique of applying different colors. It is convenient to use a sponge for this. You can use the one that wash the dishes, or buy a special one in a store that sells manicure tools. To get an unusual manicure, you first need to gently make up your nails in a bright tone and wait until the varnish is completely dry. Then several smears of different lacquers are applied to the sponge in a row, cover the finger with a food film, make a hole in it under the nail and apply the sponge with the applied coloring composition. It turns out an interesting transition from one color to another.

When all the nails are painted up with this gradient, a fixing transparent layer is applied on top.In this work, you can go even further, for example, sticking rhinestones to your nails or applying bitmaps to them with a toothpick. Drawing on the nails of the lines or oblong patterns will make the nails visually longer.

If you add rhinestones or sparkles to the pattern, you will get a festive manicure.
