Can I do manicure during early pregnancy?

During pregnancy, you also want to be beautiful, but many people do not dare to get a manicure because they cannot come into contact with some chemical cosmetics during pregnancy. But they also hope that their nails are beautiful and not bare. In fact, if pregnant women want to have a manicure, it is recommended to do something safe and non-toxic or consult a doctor before doing a manicure, which will cause less harm to the body.

Pregnant women can have manicures .

First of all, pregnant women should understand that nail polish is a chemical substance. If pregnant women come into contact with these substances, it will have a certain health impact on the fetus. Therefore, for the health of the baby in the belly and themselves, it is better to have less contact with these chemicals, so as to avoid these chemicals causing deformities and other effects on the fetus.

If pregnant women want to beautify their nails, it is recommended not to go to a nail salon to get nail polish or the like. You can choose to buy henna stickers. These ready-made nail stickers generally do not cause health hazards to the pregnant woman herself and the baby. But don't choose nail stickers that are irritating or scented.

Precautions for manicure during pregnancy

1. Clean the nail surface thoroughly

Manicure experts say: Before doing a beautiful manicure, you must thoroughly clean your fingertips and nail surfaces. The best way is to polish the nails into a suitable shape, then use a cotton pad dipped in high-quality nail polish remover to gently wipe the surface of the nails to remove the grease and impurities on the surface. Then apply base coat, which can ensure that the nail polish is more durable and the color is better.

2. Apply primer

In order to be lazy, some girls often skip the step of applying nail polish and directly use colored nail polish for manicure. This is wrong. Before applying colored nail polish, apply a layer of base coat to prevent the nails from turning yellow and increase the hardness of the nails. The subsequent colored nail polish will also be easier to apply and the color will be stable and not easy to fall off. It is recommended to apply a layer of nail polish on each nail surface and wait for it to dry naturally.

3. The thickness of nail polish should be moderate

When applying colored nail polish, first hold the nail polish in the palm of your hand and use the temperature of your palm to heat the nail polish so that the temperature of the nail polish is close to body temperature. Then take a proper amount of nail polish, hold the brush at a 65-degree angle to the nail surface, and apply a thin and even layer. After the first coat is dry, apply a second coat to make the color more saturated. It should be noted that if the colored nail polish has solidified, it cannot be used anymore.

4. Don’t apply nail polish on your skin

When applying nail polish, you must accurately control the application area and try not to let the nail polish touch the skin around the nails, otherwise it will easily cause the nail polish to fall off. It is recommended that you hold a tennis ball or other spherical object of the same size when applying nail polish. This will allow your fingers to separate naturally, making it easier to apply nail polish. If you accidentally apply nail polish to the edge of your nails, quickly scrape off the undried nail polish with a cotton swab.

5. Apply polish

Top coat is the last step of the entire manicure, which is used to shape and brighten the entire manicure look. It can protect the color of nail polish and effectively prevent it from fading and cracking. Professionals recommend: Apply a layer of topcoat every three to four days to make the nail color more lasting.
