Yes and No: How to make nails
We continue to tell about what is worth and what not to do the girls in the care and make-up. This time we write about the errors of nail art, harmless varnishes, bases and other important things in manicure and pedicure.
Its OK
Combine manicure and pedicure colors
It is necessary to manage to pick up colors so that they are combined not only among themselves, but also with shoes. The main catch is that the varnish on the feet is worn on average for two weeks, on the hands - for three days, and sandals can be changed at least every day. Therefore, it is better to start solving this puzzle with shoes: approximately estimate which pairs you are going to wear in the next two weeks, and choose varnishes depending on this: first for a pedicure, then for a manicure.
Be able to smooth paint the nails
Time for the salon is not always there, and changing the varnish in mood is much cooler than walking with one week, so you should learn how to carefully paint your nails yourself. Buy a good table lamp, a small flat brush (it is convenient to correct the line near the cuticle, if you dip it in nail polish remover before) and a set of toothpicks - they can remove excess paint between skin and nail.
Know your dating varnish
Men pay attention to the manicure, just do not always talk about it. Most guys like the scarlet, red and berry varnishes. If the soul to these colors you do not lie, try dark metallic (but if you could find a varnish that decorates your hands, the general rules are useless).
Geometric design
The strongest trend in nail art today. To display neat, angular pictures, you need to be patient, but you can make up with several lacquers at the same time and try stamping kits (Konad has the most comfortable ones).
Ideal shape for any length
Short or long - not so important, as long as all the nails are of the same shape and proportionate length that suits you (consider the ratio of the latter to the width of the nail).
Eco lacquers
Eco-lacquer bottles look defenseless, in their palette - natural colors, and in the composition - the most harmless components. This is not only big3free varnishes (like the new anti-allergenic collection of Clinique A Different Nail Enamel), but also big4free (Kure Bazaar) and big5free (Uslu Airlines). In addition, more and more old brands are updating their compositions: the new collections of Chanel, YSL, Estee Lauder are now big4free (that is, without formaldehyde resin). And of course, you should not use varnishes, which contain formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate and toluene - the very big3 components.
Well-groomed hands in general
Many do not tolerate chipped or worn varnish, but do not see anything terrible in the dry cuticle and unkempt side rollers, although there is little that can make the hands more untidy. Watching the same cuticle is not at all difficult, just pick up a special oil like Lush Lemon Sensation, Dior Apricot Cream or pencils like The Body Shop and use it every day - it will greatly simplify the lives of those who decide to abandon the cut manicure .
Brilliant coating
Cream or jelly varnishes look more beautiful and deeper, if you cover them with a glossy top. Tops often save even creamy pastel-colored varnishes, which themselves look like putties, and at the same time eliminate random bubbles and any application errors. Good Anny Super Gloss Gel, Dior Top Coat and Uslu Top.
Unusual textures
The effect of suede, cement, sand, felt, caviar, satin - now you can choose not only the color. Most of these textures are not very comfortable to wear, but there are also quite comfortable ones - Punk Rock Deborah Lippmann, for example.
It's not ok
Nail extensions
Yes, 2013, but extended nails still exist. No, this does not mean that they need to be done. Let's face it: the only person on whom they look organically is Lana Del Rey.
Girl drawings
Butterflies, bunnies and bows - nail art in its worst sense. If you are not sure which picture to choose, it is better to stop at the most minimalist (or not at all).
Pearlescent Varnishes
Nacre is a very slippery category. Firstly, all mother of pearl varnishes fall into stripes, secondly, pearl and pink pearl will definitely cause most interlocutors not the most brilliant memories of the perestroika past. But we give him his due, in capable hands he can be very beautiful.
To paint with a random varnish from the salon
If the master has a poor selection of varnishes, it is worthwhile to come to him with his bottle: nevertheless, his nails are a full-fledged accessory, and it will take at least three days to walk with one color, so you need to like it.
Do not use base
Taking care of yourself is a good form. Saving time on manicure is bad. It is much easier to apply one extra layer of the base than to walk with yellowed nails for weeks. Plus, all varnishes are much better kept with their home base.
Walk with nails of different lengths, if one is broken off
Break the nail and the truth is insulting, but you should not indulge yourself with the thought "what if suddenly not noticeable?" - noticeable. Just around cultural people who are silent about it. And it’s much easier to keep short nails in good shape.
Pointed nails
This is perhaps the only ultimatum regarding the shape of the nails: no one is Rihanna, so you do not need to wear stilettos and other pointed shapes.
Capricious varnishes, which need an approach
If the varnish does not dry, going to the cuticle or on the third layer, the bald spots are still visible - it does not suit you. Unsuccessful textures occur in a variety of brands, even in expensive ones. Therefore, no matter how much such a varnish is worth, it is better to find a replacement for it, and not to try to tame it.
Smooth coating
This is not about caviar and velvet varnishes, but about what happens to the usual, if you do not dry it and go to bed. A waffle pattern from a sheet can be fixed with one layer of top, and it is better to spend two minutes on this than hiding hands all day.
