Beautiful hands
The necessary equipment
Before you become a beautician, check that you have under the hand the necessary equipment.
Namely: a basin, soap, a towel, scissors nails, limes, a moisturizer for hands, a polisher, cotton, boxwood sticks, a crappy forceps (to remove the small unsightly skins around nails) and of course a colorless base, varnishes (take a look at our summer selection), top coat (varnish fixer) and solvent.
Group all these accessories in a nice kit, you will save time during your next sessions.
Cares
Remove all traces of varnish by gently passing a cotton impregnated with solvent on your nails. Finish with a cotton swab, if necessary. To shorten your nails, the file is your ally. Your gesture must be gentle and always in the same direction. If your nails are really long and to gain a few minutes, use the scissors at first and then the file to round them. Immerse your hands in a basin of soapy water for 5 minutes.
Moisturize with a special cream (based on sweet almond oil) and push the cuticles with a boxwood stick. Put back your hands in the basin, rinse with clear water and dry thoroughly. Using a crappy cutter, cut small skins, if necessary.
Apply your colorless, nourishing or fortifying base according to your needs. Even if your nails are in good health, do not skip this step. This first layer allows your nails to keep their natural color. The varnish laid regularly pigments nails of a yellowish color. Let it dry for 10 minutes before turning to makeup.
The laying of the varnish
A varnish is applied in three brushstrokes, always from the cuticle to the end of your nail, the first line in the center and one on each side. For a better hold, apply a second coat. For an irreproachable shine, finish with a top coat (glossy lacquer effect). If you have "overflowed", dip a cotton swab in your solvent bottle and erase your burrs.
The art of french manicure
You envy your girlfriends to the impeccable French? Here is the secret of a pose without blunders.
Apply a natural base (slightly pinkish), on the whole of thenail ! Then, if you do not have the hand who trembles, make a thin band at the end with a white varnish. A layer of top coat and voila.
For the non expert, the best is to buy kits "french manicure" with stickers to avoid blunders.
Do you have an appointment in 10 minutes? A white pencil passed under thenail will make illusion, the time of an evening.
