Nail art: techniques and tools
11/04/2023How to make a perfect manicure
Doing a perfect manicure to achieve well-groomed, manicured nails is an essential aspect of beauty and personal care, and requires experience and precision.
The secret to a flawless manicure lies in the details and following 3 basic steps for hygiene, aesthetics and nail health:
1. clean cuticles and nails;
2. define the shape you want;
3. spreading nail polish precisely is easier with LACTUBE™.
By meticulously performing these steps, it is possible to have a perfect, durable manicure on healthy, strong nails.
Of course, it is crucial to choose quality products, such as those offered by LEB World, to ensure optimal manicure durability.
1. Clean the cuticles
To achieve a well-groomed and sophisticated look, it is important to spend time cleaning the cuticles.
These “pellicles” are essential to protect the growth area of the nail itself, but they can become unsightly. In addition, if not treated properly, they can cause discomfort and pain and even infection.
Therefore, it is essential to remove cuticles by performing dry manicure with ad hoc keratolytic-based cuticle cutters or cuticle removers before applying the semipermanent gel.
Some techniques require a completely different, dry method. This is the case with the dry manicure, which proceeds the removal of cuticles without moistening them and by means of the glass rod, a special file made of genuine Bohemian crystal.
Thanks to these treatments, problems such as onychomycosis can be prevented, keeping nails healthy, as well as achieving a base for a perfect, elegant and sophisticated manicure with every look.
2. Define the shape you want
A perfect manicure starts with a good definition of the shape you want for your nails.
- square;
- oval;
- almond-shaped;
- squoval(a combination of square and oval).
The choice of shape can affect the overall appearance of the hands and the feeling of confidence when showing them. In addition, the nail cut chosen can affect the strength and durability of the manicure.
Square nails, with their sharp, precise angles, are perfect for those seeking a clean, professional style, while oval nails, soft and rounded, convey a sense of sweetness and delicacy, ideal for those who want a feminine, romantic look. Almond-shaped ones, which are long and tapered, go with, on the other hand, an elegant and sophisticated style, and, finally, squoval nails, with a shape that combines the length of the almond and the square angle, are a good choice for those who want a balanced and versatile look, with a modern touch.
The choice of cut also depends on the outline of the fingers and hands. For example, short, thick fingers are suited to an oval shape that visually elongates them. On large hands with long fingers, however, you can dare with a squoval.
Once the shape has been decided, work can begin on filing, which should be done with a fine-grained file to be passed through in gentle, continuous movements, maintaining the desired line. Never overdo it with the file lest you risk weakening them and causing the nail to break.
Only by setting the cut and filing precisely can the foundation be laid for spreading the polish and having a perfect manicure.
