How to paint your nails neatly and evenly without staining your cuticles or skin?

Every woman wants to look good. To do this, among a dozen other procedures, she regularly gets a manicure. But it often happens that there is simply no extra money or time to go to a professional master in a salon. In such cases, a home manicure comes to the rescue.

The disadvantage of a home manicure is that it does not always turn out neat due to inexperience, inconvenience, working with your left (or maybe right) hand, lack of good tools, varnishes and conditions.

But don’t get upset ahead of time, because it’s quite possible to get a neat and beautiful manicure at home. To do this you need to have time and certain knowledge. For example, a paint scheme.

The scheme for painting nails with varnish allows you to correctly apply the product to the nail plate and, using smooth movements of the tube brush, spread the varnish over the entire nail.

How to properly apply nail polish to make them look neat:

Pay attention to the condition of your nail; you must clean it thoroughly before painting and wash off all remnants of the previous polish with acetone. Be careful: before painting your nails, do not apply cream to your hands, because the surface of the plate must be completely free of grease for an even layer.
If you want to protect your nails from unpleasant yellowness and even out their surface, you need to apply a layer of clear nail polish. This polish can be purchased at any store or manicure department.
The first drop of varnish should be applied to the nails slightly above the cuticle itself, and only then use a brush to pull this drop down a little so as not to touch the cuticle.
After this, stretch the entire drop of polish up to the very edge of the nail. You should get a fairly straight and even line of painted varnish.
The next step is to place the brush exactly where the first drop was and use the brush to stretch the fresh varnish, first along one side, then along the other as carefully as possible. Do not press too hard on the brush so that when pressed it does not spread and touch the skin on the side of the nail.
Wait until the first layer of varnish has completely dried and only then apply the second layer, which will give the nail a rich and deep color.

Rules for applying varnish

We present step-by-step recommendations on how to carefully paint your nails yourself. To do this, we will consider the procedure, by performing which you can even avoid the need to get rid of excess varnish on the cuticle and skin of the fingers.

Preparing the nail surface

The very first step is to remove the old nail polish, for which you will need a cotton pad or roller and nail polish remover. To keep your nails healthy, you should choose a product without acetone. It will cost more, but will not affect the nail plate in any way.

Before carefully painting your nails with varnish, it is advisable to do a hygienic manicure. This can be a trimmed, untrimmed or hardware procedure. During such a manicure, you need to remove or push back the cuticle, as well as align the nail plate as best as possible. This is done by sanding with a special nail file. Also at this stage, the nails are given the desired shape and length. Now remove any remaining dust from the nails and wipe them thoroughly.

If your nails are even slightly damp, there is a risk of the polish coating peeling off. For the same reason, it is advisable not to come into contact with water at least a couple of hours before the procedure. Additionally, you can treat the plates with a degreaser.

Varnish application process

You should start decorating with a base transparent coating, which additionally levels the plate. Strengthening agents are good as such a base, because... They not only protect, but also treat nails. In addition, the base polish prevents the nail plate from yellowing and prevents dark and rich polishes from seeping into the nail. The last point is very important, because it is quite difficult to completely remove old varnish in dark shades.

After this, the actual application of colored varnish begins:

Lightly heat the bottle with the selected varnish and roll it between your palms. Under no circumstances should you shake it, because... the resulting air bubbles will affect the appearance of the coating.
Using a brush, apply enough polish to cover exactly one nail. If there is a lot of product, it will be more difficult to distribute it evenly over the surface, and it will take longer to dry.
Now we begin to cover the nails, starting with the little finger. To do this, place a drop approximately in the center of the nail, a little closer to the cuticle, and use a brush to reach it. Then we move the brush from the center to the free edge, after which we paint the side parts. If desired, we can first move to the edge of the nail, and only then to the cuticle. At the end, be sure to seal the free edge with a gentle movement of the brush and let the nails dry.
To get a more saturated color and avoid pale streaks, you need to apply a second coat of varnish.
To ensure your nails are completely dry, you can use a hairdryer at low speed or an ultraviolet lamp. However, the best way is to dry it naturally, which will retain all the shine. When all the decorating work has been completed, all that remains is to coat the nails with a fixative. It will also need time to dry, although you can use a special spray to speed up this process. This spray can be slightly oily, thereby helping to moisturize and soften the cuticle.

Tricks for a neat manicure

It’s not enough to know how to carefully paint your nails yourself; there are tricks here:

to cover nails, it is advisable to use high-quality varnishes that have a general structure;
It is not at all necessary to buy expensive degreasers - regular alcohol will do;
to check whether the coating has dried, you can lightly tap your nails against each other or lightly touch them with your lips;
between uses, varnishes should be stored in dark, cool places;
Do not move on to the next nail without dipping the brush into the varnish again;
if you are not satisfied with the result, you should remove it immediately and repeat the procedure;
To ensure that the polish lasts as long as possible, do not wet your hands for several hours after application.

How to paint your nails with tape?

It turns out that tape is a good helper in beautifully coating your nails with varnish. Skillfully gluing it will help not only to make designs on your nails, but also to carefully paint them.

To do this, you need to prepare templates in advance and cut them out, so that you don’t bother with this issue later with wet nails (especially since it will be quite difficult so as not to catch the freshly painted polish on one hand).

For such purposes, use only narrow tape, no wider than two centimeters. With the wide tape, you will have a hard time sticking it neatly to the sides of your finger.

You literally need three pieces of tape for each finger. They are glued one at a time: first from the sides vertically and carefully pressed to the sides, and then a horizontal strip, which, when gluing, you can try to bend to the shape of the nail.

To carefully paint your nails, you can use several types of tape. Transparent stationery is perfect, as it is one centimeter wide. No less convenient is masking tape, as well as electrical tape, which can take any shape and bend in any way.

Shellac staining

Recently, shellac and biogel have become very popular. The product allows you to get a long-lasting manicure. Moreover, you can perform the procedure at home with them. The result lasts until the nails grow back. You can get a manicure every 3 weeks. Procedures using such products are safe.

It is best to use shellac, as it does not stick and is removed faster compared to biogel. The product allows you to carefully take care of your hands, so procedures can be regular. To work you need:

Ultraviolet lamp;
Base coat;
Colored varnish;
Top coating;
Liquid for removing stickiness;
Shellac remover.

Beginner kits are available in specialty stores. The procedure is performed based on the following steps:

The base coat is applied to the nails. They are kept under the lamp for 10 seconds;
Then the first color layer should be applied. It is kept under the lamp for 2 minutes;
You should cover your nails with a second coat and apply the UV lamp again for 2 minutes;
The top coat is being applied;
Nails are treated with a cotton pad treated with a de-sticking agent.

When working with shellac, everything should be done carefully. Due to the viscous texture, the product is difficult to apply evenly. Coloring differs from using classic varnish. You can carry out the procedure for about 2 months, and then you should use regular varnish.

How to paint your nails with a sponge?

It is possible to create a beautiful manicure using such a simple device as a sponge. There are several basic secrets to painting your nails this way, but the most basic one is choosing the right sponge. An ordinary dry kitchen sponge is best suited for this purpose. It has a suitable structure with small bubbles, which are imprinted on the nail.

You can also purchase a special sponge in a store or manicure accessories department.

How to make a manicure with transitional colors using a regular sponge:

Gently paint your nails with polish as you usually do. The applied layer of varnish will serve as the base. It is best to use light colors as a basis: white, beige, pink. So, you can play on contrasts and give your nails volume
After this, wait for the varnish to dry completely, otherwise you will not be able to apply a high-quality and beautiful design with a sponge
After the base varnish has dried, you should begin the preparatory work: apply several colors of varnish alternately to the work surface (a piece of oilcloth or a plastic surface). The drops must be wide enough. Using a toothpick, try to mix the colors of the desired polish until smooth to create a beautiful gradient
Dip the prepared sponge into the resulting puddle of varnish. The sponge must capture a certain amount of liquid
Such a sponge should first be tested on some surface to remove excess varnish from it and only then applied to the nail with gentle pressing movements.
In this technique, there is no way to avoid getting all the skin around the nail dirty, because the sponge should not be too small (this is the secret of applying varnish). Excess varnish from the skin can be carefully removed using a cotton swab or toothpick wrapped in cotton wool. You can also dip the brush in nail polish remover and carefully walk along the edges.
After you have removed all the imperfections of your painting, you should proceed to other decorative elements (if you wish, you can glue rhinestones, stickers or draw something)
The final stage of work is coating the painted nail with a fixative varnish. It is necessary to protect the varnish, make the manicure stronger and shinier, and create gloss.

The procedure of creating a blot on the work surface from the desired colors and dipping a sponge into it is repeated each time for each finger.

Important nuances: how to paint correctly and how to correct mistakes in the cuticle design.

The beauty and effectiveness of this design depends not only on mastering the brush, but also on observing the following subtleties and life hacks:

apply thin layers, which will allow you to reduce the formation of a dispersion layer (contact with which is undesirable for the skin);
To ensure uniform distribution of color, do not forget to lift the pigment from the bottom of the bottle (by rolling the bottle briefly between your hands, or stirring with your own brush or toothpick);
If you have been painting with one shellac or another for a long time and suddenly see microparticles of plastic from the cap on your nail along with the coating, do not apply this gel polish straight from the bottle. It will take a lot of time to remove grains from under the cuticle. Drip shellac onto the palette, remove unnecessary inclusions and paint directly from it;

When sealing the end, work with an almost dry brush. Otherwise, during polymerization in a lamp, an unsightly bead may form on the free tip;
If you have dried both layers of color coating and found that the pigment of the gel polish has crawled to the center of the nail, then the dispersion layer of the base is to blame. Try removing excess with a dry brush or lightly blot the nail with a lint-free cloth (not all the stickiness, but only partially dry the nail);
After creating a design, massage the cuticle more often with creams, oils and waxes. This way you will quickly relieve the stress of the back roller control procedure and influence the rate of cuticle growth (in the direction of slowing it down). At the same time, practice carefully moving away the proximal cushion after the massage. Over time, in this way you will not only be able to increase the length of the nail bed, but also improve the elasticity of the skin for subsequent subcuticular manicures.

We hope that we were able to cover all possible questions that you might have about the cuticle manicure technique. In conclusion, we can only wish you to train more and not lose heart from the first mistakes. Experienced nail professionals advise looking for the one that suits you best in terms of ease of use from the available application options. Fantasies in the field of decorating marigolds created in this style are truly limitless.

How to quickly and beautifully paint your nails on short nails, photo?

Some women have short nails. This happens due to personal preferences, beliefs, the woman's activities, or simply the inability to grow her own.

Don’t be upset, because short and beautifully painted nails are a trend nowadays. Long nails are increasingly being replaced by cute “short” ones, decorated with various decorative elements, varnished and skillfully painted with varnish.

There are several ways to decorate short nails in an original and beautiful way:

For example, you can draw a bitmap on them. To do this, you will need either a special manicure drawing tool with a metal ball at the end, or a regular toothpick. Unlike a special tool, toothpicks will have to be changed several times during work, as they quickly deteriorate.

Applying a dotted pattern to your nails is very simple; all you need is a wide variety of nail polish colors to choose from.

You dip the tip of your tool into fresh liquid varnish (apply a drop onto your work surface) and transfer the dot onto a freshly painted layer of base varnish.

To make your drawing as neat and interesting as possible, you should focus on special templates or examples of ready-made manicures.

To do this, you need to resort to special nail painting secrets, aimed at stretching the area of the nail plate using drawings, lines and other techniques.

The simplest French manicure will help you visually stretch your nails. To do this, you need to paint the entire nail with a neutral beige or pink color and only paint the outermost part of the nail, three to four millimeters, white.

This manicure is coated with a fixative varnish for durability and gloss. It is noteworthy that over time the nail will grow and become more and more beautiful with the help of such a manicure.

Another tricky, but unusually effective technique is the oblique French. This jacket has not a horizontal, but a beveled strip on the nail from one edge to the other.

Visually and on the one hand, the white part of the nail becomes longer and therefore it seems that the nail itself is much larger than it actually is. The oblique French jacket can also be decorated with rhinestones, sand or sparkles.

How to beautifully paint your nails with gel polish or shellac?

Probably every woman has noticed how quickly ordinary nail polish can lose its attractiveness, cracking, peeling and bursting. For this purpose, manufacturers have invented a special shellac varnish.

What is shellac? This is nothing more than an exact combination of the most ordinary polish with gel polish. It is for this reason that working with this varnish is incredibly easy, even at home.

its coating is many times more durable than that of conventional varnish
the reliability of the material allows you to wear a manicure for a long time
It can be easily applied and removed by yourself
it does not require removing the top layer of the nail plate
it has a positive effect on thin and weak nails, making them stronger
is completely non-toxic

first layer - base (using base varnish)
second layer - main (colored varnish)
third layer - fixative (fixative varnish)

Applying gel polish to the nail plate:

Perform your usual manicure with cleaning the nail, giving it a special shape, removing the cuticle
Completely degrease the nail using nail polish remover.
Use a special sanding file to polish the nail so that the varnish “grabs” onto the plate.
Apply the base coat (it's clear) and cure it under a UV lamp for about two minutes.
Apply colored varnish - this is the base. This layer also requires about two minutes of drying under a lamp.
Then the third layer is applied - the fixing one. It must be applied very carefully, since if its residue touches the skin, it can easily break its integrity
After this, the nails are polished with a special lint cloth, and oil can be rubbed into the cuticle. All. Manicure is ready

How to keep cuticles and skin clean

Even with professional skills, you can make a mistake and smear your skin or cuticles with varnish. There are several methods, the preliminary use of which will avoid such awkwardness.

Using tape or adhesive tape

To prevent the varnish from getting on the skin, the girl can stick ordinary stationery tape or electrical tape on the skin before drawing. After all the necessary procedures have been carried out, the adhesive tape and varnish smears on it are removed from the fingers. There is a small drawback to this method - it will be difficult to protect the cuticle, and therefore you cannot do without a trimmed manicure.

Applying hand cream

To prevent the polish from sticking to the skin, you can pre-coat it with a rich hand cream or even Vaseline. At the end of the entire process, your fingers will be cleaned with cotton pads. You need to use such products carefully, trying not to get them on the nail itself. Otherwise, there is a risk of rapid peeling of the coating or chipping.

Application of PVA glue

Stationery glue works on the same principle as duct tape. To protect the skin of your fingers, you need to cover it with glue and wait until it dries, turning into a transparent film. It can also be easily removed once the nails are dry.

Use of corrector and special liquids

This method is practically no different from those discussed above. The only difference is that the means used will be much more expensive. Special liquids are also applied before painting on the nails, turning into a film. It can later be removed by grabbing the free edge with tweezers.

Correctors can be applied before coloring, but there are also those that will remove varnish that has smeared the skin or cuticles. They have replaceable rods and are filled with nail polish remover.

You can see some of the correctors in the table.

What is needed to create a manicure

To make a durable, high-quality shellac manicure, you need to have a certain set of tools and materials. Before covering your nails with shellac, they must be well treated; for this you will need the following tools:

Nail scissors. They are used to process the free edge of nails and give them the required shape.
Pusher. Necessary for getting rid of overgrown skin at the base of the nails.
Buff. It is used for polishing the surface of the nail plate, as well as for removing the keratin layer.
File. Used to align the free edge of the nail plate.
Wire cutters. Used to remove excess cuticle.
Orange sticks. With their help, you can easily lift and push back the cuticle.

After treating your nails with the above set of tools, you will need the following materials directly to perform a manicure: bonds, primers (acidic, acid-free), dehydrators. All these products are necessary to degrease and remove excess moisture from the nail plate. In addition, these products provide better adhesion of the nail to the gel coating.

Disinfector . Used to disinfect nails and prevent the occurrence of various fungal diseases.
Base (base). Designed to level the surface of the nail plate, protect against penetration of gel polish into the nail structure, and provide good adhesion to artificial materials.
Colored gel polish. Used directly to create colored manicure.
Top. The finishing coat, used to secure the color coating, ensures the durability of the manicure, preventing it from damage and chips.

And the main important tool, without which it is impossible to create a high-quality manicure using shellac, is a UV lamp. Used for polymerization (drying) of the gel coating. The quality and power of such a lamp will determine how well the gel polish dries and, accordingly, the durability of your manicure. A 36-watt lamp is perfect for home use.
