Trim manicure
A trim manicure is a classic manicure using scissors and tweezers designed to remove cuticles and cleanse the nail plate.
How to do a trim manicure
Before doing a trim manicure, you need to cleanse the nail plate with a cotton pad with nail polish remover or a special acetone-free nail degreaser. You should not rub the nail intensively and for a long time so that it does not become porous and does not exfoliate.
If necessary, before the manicure, you can trim the regrown nails with manicure scissors or simply trim them.
Filing of nails must be carried out from the side edge of the plate to the center of the nail so that the surface does not flake. The best tool for filing is a long file with a fine grain.
When carrying out a classic trim manicure, it is necessary to soften the cuticle for its quick and painless removal. It is better to remove the cuticle three minutes after softening baths. A gentle remedy is wooden orange sticks, with which you need to carefully pry the cuticle and remove it in the direction opposite to the nail.
Burrs and leftover cuticles can be gently removed with nail tweezers. The tweezers should not cut the skin to the vessels, so the depth of their action should not exceed 2 mm. It is best not to remove the cuticle completely to protect the nail from infections and open wounds.
After the cleansing and corrective treatment, you should start polishing your nails with a polishing file, which makes the nails even, smooth and stimulates blood circulation.
The final stage of the classic edged manicure is the application of varnish and decorating the nails. A colorless base coat is applied in the first layer to maintain the healthy appearance of the nail and strengthen subsequent coatings. Then the nails are covered with a base varnish of a certain color, and after a few minutes an additional top coat can be applied to it to fix the varnish. The top coating protects the varnish from abrasion and gives a glossy finish.
In addition to the trimmed manicure, you can decorate your nails with the help of manicure beads, rhinestones or special stickers.
