Steps to learn how to do manicure

People often say that hands are a person’s second face, which shows that hands occupy an important position in a person’s appearance. For this reason, more and more people now like to do manicures to make their hands look more beautiful and also to enhance their image. Of course, if you want to do manicure, you can not only go to a professional nail salon, but also do it yourself at home. So, what are the steps to do your own manicure?

Step 1 to do your own manicure:

First, use a cuticle scissors to remove the dead skin at the base of the nails, then use a cuticle fork to remove the dead skin, and then use a cuticle scissors to simply trim the remaining dead skin to make the nails look better.

Step 2 of doing your own manicure:

Use a sanding strip to polish the stripes on the surface of your fingernails and smooth out all the uneven areas on the surface of your nails. If this step is missed, unevenness will easily occur when applying nail polish on your nails. Then use a polishing strip to polish the nails, because the polished surface of the nails looks dull and matte, and it also paves the way for coloring the nails later.

Step 3 of doing your own manicure:

Apply pH balancer evenly on each nail. pH balancer is like the lotion or moisturizer we use for makeup. Do simple care for your nails before applying nail polish. Then apply the protein strengthener evenly on each nail. The ingredients of the protein strengthener will form a protective layer on the surface of the nail, making the nail harder and preventing the nail from breaking.

Step 4 of doing your own manicure:

Base coat is equivalent to the foundation used for makeup. The purpose of applying base coat is to lay a base for the nails. With base coat as a base, the color of the nail polish will last longer. Otherwise, the color of the nail polish will fade quickly. The method of applying base coat is to apply the first brush on the middle of the nail, and then apply from the root of the nail to the tip of the nail. Following the same method, evenly apply base coat on all ten fingernails.

Step 5 of doing your own manicure:

After applying the base coat, you can use a nail machine. The price of a nail machine ranges from a dozen to several hundred yuan. If you are well-off, you can choose a more expensive one. If you really don’t want to buy it, you can also use a hair dryer instead, but you have to use cold air. Of course, the effect is definitely not as good as a nail machine. The editor recommends that you buy a sensor-based nail art machine, that is, the kind that will automatically shut down within a set time, because some nail art machines will bake the nails for too long, causing the color of the painted nails to differ.

Step 6 of doing your own manicure:

Don't buy cheap nail polish, because some cheap nail polishes have a strong smell, and nail polish contains certain chemical ingredients. The stronger the smell, the more harmful it is to both the nails and the body. Nail polish usually needs to be applied two or three times so that the color will appear fuller. If you want to draw some patterns, you need to use nail polish of different colors to depict them. After applying, use a nail machine to dry the nail polish.

Step 7 of doing your own manicure:

After applying nail polish, you can apply a layer of reinforcing oil to consolidate the colored nails according to your personal preference. The purpose is to prolong the durability of the nail color. After applying the reinforcing oil, it also needs to be dried on a nail machine.

Step 8 of doing your own manicure:

In order to prevent the color of the bottom layer of the nails from being polluted and damaged by the outside world, you can apply a layer of sealing oil, which can also maintain the brightness of the nails. There are two types of sealing oils, one needs to be wiped off and the other is no-clean. If it needs to be scrubbed, there will be a layer of floating glue after using the nail machine, which needs to be wiped with gel water to be shiny; if it is a wash-free nail machine, there will be no floating glue after using the nail machine, and it can be done directly.
