Video tutorial: unedged manicure. How to make an unedged manicure for yourself How to do an unedged manicure at home

This technique can be done in several ways:

• Dry method without preliminary soaking. It is used in cases when there is simply no time for steaming hands. But it is only suitable for owners of healthy and flexible nails. Brittle nails after dry treatment will immediately begin to exfoliate.
• Brazilian spa manicure. Similar to the previous one. The only difference is that before processing, cream is applied to the hands for a while and gloves are put on. It is much easier to process the skin after that, and softened nails do not break during trimming.
• Wet way. Moisturizing the skin in water. To soften it and take care of your hands, lotions and oils are added to the bath.
• Hot manicure. Ideal for brittle nails. With this method, the skin is steamed not in water, but in a cream or special lotion warmed up to 50C. For the convenience of the procedure, you can purchase an electric bath. With this method, the cuticle softens even without a gel, and it can be easily pushed back and cleaned off with a stick.
• Hardware. A special sander with attachments is used to process the cuticle and polish the nails. You can also buy it for home use.

Advice! Did you know that after a wet or hot manicure, you cannot immediately apply varnish? Otherwise, he will not last long. After all, moisturized nails, absorbing moisture, change their size and expand, and after complete drying take their original shape. That is why the varnish begins to crack quickly.

Pros and cons of the procedure

This type of manicure has a lot merits:

• the absence of even the slightest opportunity to bring an infection - after all, no sharp manicure tools are used during it;
  therefore, it can be done even if you have poor immunity and your wounds do not heal well;
• it is a real salvation for girls with thin and very sensitive skin;
• over time, the carousel grows more and more slowly, so the hands will remain well-groomed for more than one week;
• unedged manicure at home (see photo), unlike usual, does not require special skills and takes a minimum of time.

In addition to the advantages, like any procedure, the European manicure also has minuses:

• it is better not to use it for women with rough skin, since it will be problematic to completely remove the cuticle;
• the first few weeks, due to the fact that the skin is used to frequent pruning, hands will look sloppy, so it is better to switch to unedged manicure during holidays or vacations;
• cuticle removers can be irritating;
• at first, you will have to cut off the burrs in the corners of the nails;
• this technique is absolutely not suitable for extended nails.

Advice! In order for the manicure to last as long as possible, treat the nails before applying the varnish with a protective base, and after it dries with a glossy coating.

How to choose a cuticle remover?

These products (removers) come in the form of sticks, liquids or gels. They may contain alkaline potassium or sodium hydroxide, with the help of which the dead skin of the cuticle is quickly destroyed. More gentle are products made from plants with alpha hydroxyl acids. They do not destroy the skin, but only remove the glue-like substances from it that hold it. According to reviews, it is better to do unedged manicure at home with high-quality products such as El Corazon and Shillak.

After treatment, the keratinized skin around the nail is removed very easily and painlessly with a special wooden stick. In addition, the substance contained in them prevents cracks from forming on the skin, so over time you will no longer suffer and cut off the burrs. Since such products are powerful and can affect the condition of the skin, they should not be applied more often than once a week.

Important! Alkaline sodium and potassium hydroxides can cause dry skin, so keeping such formulations on the skin for a long time is not worth it. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly under running water after handling.

What tools and tools will you need?

Believe me, the technique of performing unedged manicure at home is simple even for beginners. We need a minimum of tools:

• regular hand cream;
• nail scissors;
• scissors with rounded ends;
• nourishing oil for elasticity of the skin;
• pusher (metal tool with blades at the ends) or orange
• stick for moving the cuticle;
• cuticle remover;
• a file with a larger abrasive;
• a special soft file with a fine abrasive or buff for polishing nails;
• bio wax for polishing.

Advice! If you do not have a complete manicure set at hand, you can start with the usual disposable set of sticks and files.

Orange stick for manicure

I would like to tell you separately about this wonderful instrument, invented in France. Outwardly unpretentious, modest orange tree stick is an ideal tool for treating cuticles. After all, wood of this type is very dense, but it does not exfoliate at all, so it does not injure even sensitive skin at all.

Outwardly, such a tool resembles a thickened toothpick and is also sharpened, however, only from one end. It is inexpensive, so we advise you to take note of it. After all, some procedures without it, especially unedged manicure, are difficult to imagine. Another important advantage of such a stick is the presence of antiseptic substances contained in its wood.

Advice!For the most sensitive skin, orange sticks with rubber tips are available.

Using this tool, carry out:

• cutting the cuticle: it is the main tool for treating nails without trimming;
• removal of a softened cuticle treated with a special gel or cream;
• cleansing the inner surface of the nails;
• sticker of tips (plastic parts that imitate nails) when building up;
• laying out acrylic material and biogel;
• removal of extended nails;
• decoration: art painting or the application of small details, applications, sequins and rhinestones.

Advice! After the procedure, it is better to discard the orange sticks immediately and do not reuse. After all, soft wood quickly absorbs dirt and residues of fatty deposits..

Execution stages

We will describe in detail and step by step the implementation of unedged manicure at home:

• Before carrying out the procedure, the old varnish must be removed.
• A cream or gel is distributed in the places where the cuticle is located. A drop is enough for one nail.
• Now gently rub the product with an orange stick. It is more convenient to use the widest one (they are numbered by thickness).
• The holding time on nails is always indicated on the package. As a rule, it is no more than 5 minutes.
• The gel or varnish can be washed off with running water.
• Any nourishing oil is applied to the cuticle.
• With gentle movements of an orange stick, the cuticle moves to the very edge of the nail.
• The skin around the nails is cut or filed with a diamond file.
• It remains only to process the nails with a nail file, and then polish.

Advice! Do not apply nail polish immediately after treatment. First, lubricate them with any nourishing cream or essential oil and leave for a while. Let your marigolds be supported by nutrients.

Polishing nails with buff or wax

Nails treated with a file with a mild abrasive, buff or wax look healthier and more well-groomed. Even to the touch, they become smooth. A similar procedure helps and align the marigolds that have grooves and irregularities.

Their means for leveling before applying varnish is no longer needed.

Perfectly adheres to the nails and varnish after such a procedure:

• Naturally, the varnish must be removed before polishing.
• Outwardly, the buff looks like a small bar, each side of which is covered with an abrasive - from medium to very fine (micro). As a rule, the sides are numbered for convenience.

• You can also polish your nails with a special nail file. Since it is much softer than usual and is very often performed on a paper basis, it should not be wetted.
  Tool movements should be directed only in one direction from the center of the nail plate to its sides. It is not worth working in different directions, otherwise the nail will be wrinkled.
• After polishing, the nails are treated with a bio wax containing silicone and paraffin, as well as nutrients. A small amount of the composition is applied to each nail and gently rubbed in with small movements of a nail file or buff.
• Since the bio wax fills even the smallest cracks, the nails look just perfect after processing.

Advice! Regular nail polishing helps to stimulate blood circulation, improve nail condition and accelerate growth. However, you should not abuse this procedure and remove too large a layer of the nail, otherwise you will get the exact opposite effect.

How often should you get an unedged manicure?

Skin regeneration is different for each person. It depends on the general condition of the body. However, in any case, an unedged manicure is required to be carried out less often than a regular one - about once every 2 weeks. For delicate skin, treatment once a month is sufficient. So just watch your hands. They themselves will tell you that it is time to repeat the procedure.

Advice! So that after removing the bright varnish the skin does not stain, apply any cream on your hands before the procedure, preferably a fat cream.

File for nail correction

Cuticle remover special liquid

Orange sticks

Cuticle oil (but can be replaced with a nourishing cream if not available)

First, we remove the varnish coating, if any. Shape the nails with a nail file. It is important to do this first, before applying the product, so that the nails remain dry and not damaged during filing. If the periungual rollers are very dry and overgrown (this happens at the beginning of the transition to a European manicure), then you can lightly walk on them with a nail file. If not, then immediately proceed to the second stage. Apply the cuticle remover to the skin around the nail and wait for 30 seconds or more. up to several minutes depending on the recommendation indicated on the remover. Then we push back the skin and remove the exfoliated particles with an orange stick. We wash our hands and, if desired, apply nail polish, and then oil or cuticle cream. Everything! The manicure is ready!

Also, before applying the cuticle remover, you can make a warm bath with salt for your hands, you don't have to do it, it all depends on the time you have for a manicure. I make varnish with gel polishes: Bluesky or Jess Nail. I remove gel polish with Severina, a very good product.

But, going back, I want to write a little about why I gave up the classic manicure! The fact is that for many years I have done only trimmed manicure at home and sometimes in the salon EVERY week! The cuticle grew at an incredible rate and burrs often appeared. In addition, several times in the salon, my skin was injured to the point of blood, soreness around the nail and the fear of contracting something worse than a fungus made me refuse to visit the salon altogether. At home, manicure took me at least an hour, and the quality on my right hand was "lame", well, I don't know how to hold scissors with my left hand.

After reading the information about European manicure, I decided to switch to it! It was not very easy for me, the first 2-3 weeks my hands looked neglected or it just seemed to me that there is such a thing - a habit. But I didn’t regret it at all and now I recommend this type of nail care to my girlfriends. If you also decide to switch to such a manicure, then the most important thing is consistency, for the first 3 weeks to do a manicure twice a week, then one will be enough and under no circumstances CUT OFF the overgrown skin, well, or in extreme cases (burrs, etc.) .NS.) ! Moisturize cuticles. That's all! In less than a month, you will enjoy always well-groomed pens!

Now it takes me 15 minutes for an uncoated manicure, the skin is always thin and does not grow, but I completely forgot about the burrs!

These are always beautiful, well-groomed nails that are pleasant to look at and apply varnish, paint or other types of art. Have you noticed how quickly nails lose their spectacular and neat look after a classic trim manicure? Already on the second or third day after the procedure, overgrown tissues form at the site of the removed cuticle, which immediately spoil the entire manicure and give the hands an unkempt look. To avoid this, many girls switch to unedged manicure, which belongs to dry types of manicure and does not involve mechanical removal of the cuticle at the base of the nail plate.

Among the people, unedged manicure has another name - European. No one thoroughly knows why they call him that, but judging by the "legend" it was invented somewhere in Europe and almost 85% of European women prefer this type of manicure.

What is the popularity of unedged manicure?

Safe from injury, first of all, as well as the simplicity of the technique itself, which can be mastered by every girl who wants to. Next - about the benefits of unedged manicure.

Why is European manicure better than edging?

Unedged European manicure does not require special skills, it is easily performed at home using special cuticle softeners based on lactic or fruit acid, as well as a set of tools - a wooden or plastic stick and nail files. In addition, unedged manicure has a number of other advantages over its classic edged brother:

• Ideal for girls with thin, delicate and sensitive skin, as well as those whose capillaries pass too close to the top layer of the skin, which leads to bleeding when trimmed manicure.
• Micro-injuries, inaccurate removal of the cuticle with edging can lead to infection, which is fraught with a number of consequences. Unedged manicure is devoid of trauma and any painful sensations, which means that the risk of contracting any fungus during a manicure is minimal.
• During unedged manicure, the cuticle is not damaged, but simply gently pushed back to the base of the plate. At the same time, the nail root remains intact, which accelerates its growth and positively affects the quality of the nail plate itself. With constantly unedged manicure, nails become strong, break and exfoliate less, and the varnish lasts longer.
• Cuticle removers are predominantly acidic compounds - milk or fruit. Plus oils, extracts and vitamin complexes are added there. In combination, this has a beneficial effect not only on the cuticle (it becomes soft and pliable), but also on the health of the nails. Emollients remove only dead skin cells without damaging living tissue.
• With regular unedged manicure, the cuticle becomes thin and grows with less intensity. In a couple of months, you will spend much less time on a manicure, as it will become easier and faster to eliminate it.
• Unedged manicure is cheaper and faster than edging. To complete it, you do not need to soak your nails in trays, then painstakingly cut the cuticles on each finger. Plus savings on numerous tools, as well as means for treating nails after a trim manicure.

Unedged manicure also has a number of disadvantages, but they can be called insignificant, considering all its advantages:

• European manicure is not suitable for neglected nails with dense overgrown cuticles.
• In this case, you will need to spend a lot of time on softening and no one guarantees that the cuticle will be removed carefully, without flaws.
• Unedged manicure requires perseverance and systematicity. If before you did only a classic manicure, then you can achieve an ideal result without circumcision only after a month and a half. And then: you should always have a cuticle stick and oil in your purse. The more often you apply oil to the cuticle and gently push it towards the base, the thinner and weaker it will be.
• In this situation, you will have to do the coating more often, as part of the "naked" nail will be visible. But this is temporary. Until you completely accustom your nails to this procedure.
• Unedged manicure is ideal for girls with thin skin. Owners of dense skin will spend much more time on it. Sometimes it is impossible to accurately perform a European manicure without the use of scissors and tweezers.

Unedged manicure: technique and what you need

As we wrote above, unedged manicure refers to a dry type of manicure, but sometimes some girls still use baths to soak the cuticles. This is a wet unedged manicure.

Previously, a remover gel is applied to the cuticle, the effect of which is enhanced in warm water. There is also a hot European manicure, when nails are soaked in a heated special lotion or oil: most often it is performed just if the client has a dense cuticle and, in general, rough skin. This type of manicure, by the way, is often offered to men.

Unedged manicure can be done in the salon. The cost of such a procedure varies from 100-200 UAH. And you can easily do it at home. To do this, you will need some inventory:

• Cuticle remover (cuticle remover, cuticle away gel, cuticle Treatment, cuticle softener, etc.). It is best that such a product contains natural oils, essential oils and plant extracts that gently work with the buffoon and, in general, strengthen the nails.

Means for removing cuticles: Ecrinal Gel Emollient Cuticules 227 UAH, Artdeco Cuticle Remover gel 142 UAH, Solomeya Pro Cuticle Away Gel 111 UAH

• Cuticle stick. You can take it from an orange tree (the most common and cheapest), or you can take a silicone one (elastic, but soft tip). The latter is better, since it is easier to disinfect, it is reusable and removes cuticles more gently. If your choice fell on a wooden one, remember that it belongs to disposable, it is best to throw it out after a few procedures at most.
• Manicure nail file. Use your usual nail file to shape your nail. If you do not have one, choose, for example, ceramic or glass - they are durable and do not injure the nail. It is also good to have a polishing file or buff to smooth the surface of the nail.
• Cotton pads, cotton swabs, towels and other essential attributes for manicure.
• Bath for manicure + additional means for the care of nails and hands. If you choose a wet unedged manicure, it is best to add there either a special tool with a complex of extracts and oils already included in it, or add chamomile decoction, sea salt, lemon juice and essential oils to the bath yourself).
• Means for the care of the cuticles and hands after manicure: oil that nourishes the nails and softens the cuticles and hand cream. Better for summer with SPF.

Remove the varnish and shape the nails

Let's start the procedure by removing the varnish from the nails using a nail polish remover. Choose without acetone with a vitamin complex and extracts. When your nails are clean, arm yourself with a nail file and reshape them. Now the most popular are oval and almond-shaped nails, as well as semi-square with rounded edges or, if you plan to wear short nails, completely square, but so that the sharp edges do not protrude beyond the finger. When choosing the shape of the nail, be guided by the shape of your fingers and the hole at the base of the nail plate. If you stick to one shape, just update it with a file. Perform movements in one direction from the center to the edges.

Soften and remove cuticles

If you want to do a wet unedged manicure, put warm water in a tub, add oils, salt and or a bath agent there, and also apply a remover to the cuticle beforehand. Hold your hand for about 5-6 minutes. Wipe dry. Then reapply the cuticle remover (you can do something else - with oils, for example), rub it into the base of the nail with massage movements. You can massage your nails for the time indicated on the cuticle softening jar. About 8-10 minutes. Next, we remove the cuticle as described below.

If you are doing dry, unedged manicure, we will do without a bath. To do this, simply apply a powerful cuticle remover to the base of the nail. Choose removers with keratolics that quickly attack the stratum corneum, as well as acid-based. After 10 minutes, when the cuticle is soft and pliable, remove it and the rest of the product with a cotton swab or cotton swab. Carefully push the remaining thin part of the cuticle with a stick to the base of the plate. Perform these actions gently from the center to the edges, do not press on the plate and do not go deep under the skin.

Care after unedged manicure

When the cuticle is removed, it remains to treat the nail plate with nourishing oil, and apply a moisturizer or lotion to your hands. Ready!

How to care for cuticles with unedged manicure

In your arsenal should be special means for caring for the cuticle with unedged manicure. These include products that soften the cuticle and strengthen the nail plate, stimulants of nail growth, natural oils that nourish the nails and skin, and products that slow down the growth of the cuticle.

Unedged manicure at home, is it possible? Our answer is simple - of course possible! The fact is that this cosmetic "operation" presupposes a complete absence of mechanical action on the cuticle. Hence, in fact, the name of this design of ladies' fingers originated. Carefully read all sections of this article, and feel free to get to work, time is running out!

Types and varieties

Today there are a large number of techniques, among which are considered especially popular:

• Dry method. It does not require lengthy and tedious pre-soaking. It is used in cases when only a few hours are left before an important event, and your pens are not yet ready for a solemn event. But there is one contraindication: all the necessary manipulations can be performed only on healthy and flexible marigolds. Brittle plates after processing will begin to exfoliate even more and lose their visual appeal.
• Brazilian spa manicure. In terms of its technology, it is comparable to the previous version, but here it will be necessary to first apply a special cream to your hands and put on gloves with a greenhouse effect. So you can greatly facilitate the process, because it is much easier to work with softened dermis. In addition, the risk of brittleness is reduced to zero.
• Wet way. The preliminary stage will be water procedures - baths with oils and lotions.
• Hot nail art. A special agent is applied to the girl's nails, which is preheated to 50 degrees. An electric bath is very suitable for these purposes. These items are sold in any home appliance store. In this case, the cuticle becomes soft without any gel. It can be easily removed with an orange stick.
• Hardware. Many modern women of fashion buy such appliances for home use. Thanks to this miracle unit with attachments, they largely save their money and time, which can be spent on any other purpose than paying for the work of the master.

Advice! Nail design experts advise against applying varnish to freshly processed nails (we are talking about hot and wet manicure). The fact is that the nail plates, absorbing moisture, expand, and after complete drying they return to their original shape. Accordingly, the applied pressure coating begins to crack and loses its aesthetic appeal.

Advantages and disadvantages

Unedged manicure has a large number of positive aspects. To prove this fact, we present several arguments:

• Absolute absence of mechanical stress. When processing the plates, no sharp instruments are used, which completely eliminates the risk of contracting infectious diseases.
• No contraindications. Most people experience a decrease in the body's immune abilities, wounds heal for a long time, sensitive skin reacts even to the simplest actions with irritation and inflammation. Unedged manicure is a real find for those who suffer from similar ailments.
• Long lasting effect. The cuticle grows back very slowly after the treatment, so your hands will have a well-groomed appearance for several weeks.
• Lack of complex processes. Even uninitiated beginners can learn the basics of the European design of marigolds. In addition, the procedure itself does not take much time.

Now let's talk about the disadvantages, which are much less than the advantages. But without them it is impossible to build a complete picture for yourself.

• It is better for owners of rough skin to abandon such experiments, since removing the cuticle is likely not to have the desired result.
• If you will be doing the procedure for the first time, you should understand that your pens will not look very attractive during the first weeks. This is because your skin is accustomed to frequent pruning.
• In the early days, burrs may appear in the corners of the nails.
• Some products used to soften the dermis can cause allergic reactions. Before use, you should carefully study the composition, perhaps you will find in the list the ingredients that cause your individual intolerance.

Advice! If you want your self-made nail art to serve you for a long time, you need to apply a base, then apply varnish and fix the result with a top coat.

Choosing the right product

All products designed to soften the hardened dermis are called the resounding foreign word "removers". They come in a variety of sticks, gels and liquids. The main components here are potassium or sodium hydroxide. They help dead particles break down quickly.

Manufacturers add plant extracts that contain alpha hydroxyl acids to more gentle mixtures. They do not affect the deep layers of the skin, but only remove glue-like substances.

It's no secret that various forums constantly appear on the Internet, where women leave their comments and reviews about a particular product. After analyzing the opinions laid out, we can conclude that the most popular are mixtures such as El Corazon and Shillac. According to the assurances of customers, the keratinized cuticle after the application of these wonderful elixirs is destroyed in a matter of minutes and can be easily removed with an orange stick. In addition, they create a protective film that prevents micro-cracking, which favorably affects the rate of burr formation.

Advice! The above liquids are classified as potent, so they can only be applied once a week.

It should also be remembered that alkaline potassium and sodium hydroxides can cause dryness and uncomfortable tightness. Therefore, experts recommend not to ignore the manufacturer's instructions, which indicate the optimal time for contact of substances with the skin of the hands. In addition, it is necessary to thoroughly rinse off the residues under running water.

Cooking tools

As noted earlier, unedged manicure is a simple procedure, so even a novice nail service master can perform it. So, before completing the task, carefully lay out the following items on the table:

1. Cream (moisturizing or nourishing);
2. Manicure scissors with rounded ends;
3. Finger care oil;
4. Pusher;
5. Orange stick;
6. Cuticle remover;
7. Files with soft and hard abrasives;
8. Biovosk.

Go to execution

When all the preparatory work is done, it's time to start implementing your plans:

• Remove old varnish.
• Choose a technique. If you prefer wet methods, apply a special cream to your fingers or immerse them in the bath for 20-30 minutes.
• Apply a special gel or liquid to the base of the nail plates. In most cases, a small droplet is sufficient for each finger.
• Distribute the liquid with an orange stick.
• After five minutes, remove the remaining product under running warm water.
• Cover the cuticle with nourishing oil.
• With the same orange tree stick, move it to the very edge of the marigold.
• Cut or file the skin around the plate with a diamond file.
• Now you should move on to grinding.

Advice! As mentioned earlier, do not try to apply decorative colored varnish immediately after processing. Lubricate your hands with a nourishing cream or essential oil blend and rest a little. At this time, a large amount of nutrients will enter the surface.

Buff polishing

This stage is very important, since it is he who is responsible for the aesthetic component of the manicure. After processing, the fingers look well-groomed, and the marigolds acquire a natural natural shine. By the way, as a result of prolonged use of gel polishes and nail tips for building up, depressions, irregularities and grooves are formed on the surface. So, they are very easy to remove with files with a soft abrasive.

What is a buff? Outwardly, it resembles a bar rough from all sides. For the convenience of women, they are numbered as the size of the polishing particles increases.

• Polishing can also be carried out with special nail files. It should be softer than usual. The only drawback of most of them is the paper base. This is a serious contraindication, because such a product is very difficult to clean without water. For best results, slide gently across the plate from the center to the sides.
• After processing, apply a layer of bio wax, which contains silicone and paraffin, as well as a large amount of nutrients. Just pour a little of the product into the middle of the nail, and then rub it in with a buff.
• Bio wax helps to achieve perfect smoothness by plugging micro cracks and grooves.

Advice! By constantly performing the above manipulations, you improve blood circulation and accelerate growth. However, it is important not to overdo it here, because removing a thick layer can trigger reverse reactions.

How often should the "operation" be performed?

This question is individual, because the rate of skin regeneration depends on many factors, including genetic inheritance and lack of vitamins in the body. Basically, it all depends on the general condition and the presence or absence of certain diseases.

However, experts say that such a manicure should not be carried out more often than once every 12-14 days. Simply put, once every two weeks is enough. Owners of sensitive skin generally should devote only a few hours a month to such experiments. Just pay attention to your pens as often as possible, after 10-15 days you will understand that it is time to correct the external data of the manicure.

Unedged manicure at home is a great opportunity to combine business with pleasure. Firstly, it is an opportunity to spend your free time in a fun way. Secondly, the cost of such equipment in a beauty salon varies between 1500-2000 rubles. Buying once every few months a cuticle remover for five hundred rubles and performing the entire "operation" yourself, you have the opportunity to save your own money and spend it on buying new fashionable outfits for the next season.

Every woman should comprehend the features and rules of unedged manicure. This technique is also called European manicure. Today, this method of nail treatment is becoming more common. To understand what advantages and disadvantages this popular technique has, it is important to have a clear idea of ​​what an unedged manicure is and how the procedure is performed. This will help determine how much this option is right for you.

The essence of unedged manicure

Unedged (European) manicure is the safest procedure of all. In general, it is not much different from the edged one. The main feature is that the cuticle in this case is not trimmed, but shifted with a special stick after preliminary softening. This is precisely the dignity of such a manicure, and its disadvantage.

Otherwise, the European version of nail processing has a standard set of operations, such as filing, grinding, varnishing. A hand bath is sometimes used, but you can do without it.

Benefits of European manicure

Unedged manicure is the safest. His procedure does not involve the use of forceps or other instruments that can traumatize the skin. This saves not only from discomfort, pain, bleeding, but also from the appearance of burrs.

The procedure is absolutely painless. It is easy to carry out at home with a certain set of tools and cosmetics. If you refuse the bath, you can achieve a longer preservation of the varnish on your nails.

Disadvantages of unedged manicure

The main disadvantage of European manicure is that it sometimes takes several months to fully switch to it. The situation is especially difficult in cases where there is a dense, tough cuticle. Burrs may appear after the first procedures. But gradually the situation will return to normal and you can easily and painlessly take care of your nails, quickly bringing them in full order.

Who is an unedged manicure suitable for?

Having figured out what an unedged manicure is, it is easy to understand who it is most suitable for. Of course, for those whose skin is thin and delicate, with capillaries located close to the surface. In this case, careful, delicate care is required. Edged manicure is simply contraindicated here.

But even if your skin is not too thin, then you can try this method of nail care on yourself. Just keep in mind that it will take some time to fully transition to a European manicure. To begin with, it is better to contact an experienced master, and gradually, if you wish, you can begin to carry out the procedures at home on your own.

European manicure at home

What is required to process nails?

Unedged manicure is a fairly simple procedure. Therefore, you can do it at home. To do this, you will definitely need the following tools and care products:

• nailfile;
• cuticle stick (wood, metal or silicone);
• cuticle softening gel;
• oil or pencil to strengthen nails and slow down cuticle growth.

In addition to all of the above, you can optionally take decorative varnish and everything you need for a manual bath.

Procedure for the procedure

The first thing to do is prepare your hands for a manicure. Wash them with soap, remove varnish from nails. Then proceed directly to the procedure. It takes place in several stages:

1. File your nails into the desired shape.
2. Then you can make a bath. Choose your favorite composition, hold your hands in it for a few minutes, and then dry off with a towel.
3. Apply a softening gel to the cuticle area. Follow the instructions on the package. As a rule, the product needs to be left on for a while.
4. Remove excess gel with a cotton pad and pick up a manicure stick. Gently push back the softened cuticle while removing the thin film at the base of the nail.
5. The process is coming to an end. It remains only to treat the nails with a strengthening oil or a special pencil.
6. You can also sand the surface if necessary.
7. If you need to cover your nails with colored varnish, then first degrease them, otherwise the coating will not last long.

Sometimes at the very beginning of the transition from an edged manicure to an unedged one, it becomes necessary to use cuticle tweezers. This is fine, but you should only remove the bare minimum necessary to keep your nails looking attractive. Gradually, the need for this will disappear, and you can do a full-fledged manicure quickly and painlessly.

Each woman independently chooses how to care for her nails. Some go to an experienced master, others prefer to act independently. In this case, preference is given to different methods of care. Now you know what an unedged manicure is, and you can take it on board. This is a real salvation for the owners of delicate skin and weakly expressed thin cuticles. However, among other women, European manicure is popular, because it allows you to quickly put your nails in order, avoiding discomfort and microtrauma.
