That was, where to create

Nails are a canvas for the master. The artist is Anna Gorelova, the manicure is her art. In just 8 months she was able not only to improve the overall condition of the nails, remove the problem of brittleness, delamination and burrs, but also significantly increase the nail bed. What's the secret? Anna willingly shares it in her blog in the smallest detail. The main points of the procedure for the edging manicure we will briefly describe specifically for you.

First, you need to use only high-quality tools. Yes, at first glance, their cost seems high, but the lifetime of professional equipment is much higher than that of Chinese "analogs", and the result differs significantly. So do not skimp on yourself - it's not just about beauty, it's about the health of your nails and skin. For Anna, the necessary tools are cuticle scissors, a glass nail file, a buffalo, a spatula, wadded disks, a brush and a magnifying glass; From the means - nail polish remover (wafer), remover, base coat, varnish and top.

Secondly, the thoroughness and consistency of all processes.

First - the alignment of the length of the nails. Anna does this without washing off the varnish, because due to the different area of the nail plate on different fingers, the length of the free edge will be different. After varnishing, all nails look proportionate.

If it is necessary to remove the lateral dermal ridges, then it is better to do this on dry hands, just cutting them with a file.

Further, without resorting to the baths, but simply dropping each finger into the water, a cuticle is applied to the cuticle. With the help of a pusher the cuticle moves away, and all the excess from it is removed, and also the pterygium is removed from the nail plate.

Then it is necessary to wash off the already unnecessary remover and once again to walk the sharp end of the scapula to remove all the residues. Wipe your hands with a towel, check the result. If necessary, correct it with a spatula.

The next stage is the cutting of the extra cuticle with special scissors. Here the best way is to see the difference between a quality tool and products from the market. You can use and pliers, it all depends on your skills and habits.

Anna Gorelova evaluates the result of each stage with the help of a magnifying glass, since her hands are always under macro photography.

Final stage: removal of varnish

Next - the removal of varnish. It is best to use zHDCL without acetone. Wipe the cotton disc moisten and attach to the nail for a few seconds with a compress, then wipe the varnish moving from the nail bed to the free edge. Movement in one direction will save from the appearance of peeling and roughness on the surface of the nail.

After removing the varnish, rinse the nails with a brush in water with soap and allow to dry for about 20 minutes.

If necessary, polish the tips and polish the ends of the nails with a buff, conducting rough sides no more than 2-3 times. Regular execution of this step will eliminate the problem of stratification.

And, finally, painting. First, a base is applied with a coating of the lateral ribs and the ends of the nail. Next - the required number of layers of varnish. Complete the process of fixing and drying. Thanks to this procedure of the edged manicure Anna Gorelova, the increase in the nail plate is so effective.

That's all the secrets.
