From the dream of pretty manicured hands - Instagram way - to reality, everyday life catches up with you. Exposed to external aggressions (household, cold, sun, repeated washing, etc.), your hands are often dry. They sometimes have spots. Your nails are brittle or soft.
The nude varnish does not allow the slightest defect. A failed pose, torn skins at the edge of the nail ? " Nude " nails require flawless neat hands!
To succeed in your manicure with nude varnish and present nickel nails, here are the 7 essential steps to follow.
Thoroughly clean your hands and nails
First, clean your hands with a gentle solution. If the skin of your hands is particularly fragile, damaged, choose a formula enriched with moisturizing agents. Clean the inside of your nails with a boxwood tarpaulin. You can also whiten the white of the nail by passing a cotton swab soaked in lemon juice: radiance guaranteed !
Then you need to rid your nails of varnish residue. Remove makeup from your nails with a gentle, acetone-free remover. In water, cream or oil, today there are products without harmful ingredients to remove your nail polish in a more delicate way. As a bonus, they smell good : no more unpleasant and stubborn smell of solvent in the bathroom !
Treat brown spots on the hands
If you have brown or black spots on your hands, we recommend that you complete the cleaning with a scrub. This will reduce the spots, gently and naturally activating the cellular renewal of the skin your hands. You can exfoliate your dead cells on dry skin. Mix a vegetable oil with sugar, or use your usual facial scrub.
Applying an anti-stain serum every day in addition to your hand moisturizer will enhance this action.
Give a nice shape to your nails
To heal the shape of your nails, file them dry from the outside to the middle gently. Take care to match the shape of the nail to that of the contour of your fingers. We advise you not to touch the sides. This clumsy but common gesture weakens the nail. The trend is more oval or squared. Sharp nails no longer have too much rib ! Choose cardboard files over iron ones for a gentle treatment.
Moisturize the skin of the hands
Prepare a bath of warm soapy water and soak your hands for 5 minutes. Dry, then cover each finger and the contour of the nail with a vegetable oil adapted to your needs. Sweet almond or jojoba oil is suitable for all skins.
However, if the skin of your hands is very dry, coconut oil is the right choice ! You can also use shea butter known for its very nourishing virtues.
Without forgetting to feed that of the nails!
To strengthen fragile and brittle nails, opt for castor oil, rich in vitamin E. Take the time to massage gently, deeply and for a long time to further soften the perimeter of the nail. This will stimulate blood circulation and promote the growth of your nails.
With the skin softened, you can repel the bead of the cuticle, without the risk of injury. For a gentle gesture, we advise you to use a boxwood stick covered with cotton.
Taking care of your cuticles
If your cuticles are naturally smooth, leave them as they are. This fragile part of the nail should not be attacked. You risk inflammation of the skin. However, if you have small pieces of damaged skin around the perimeter of the nail, you can cut them. Avoid performing this delicate operation without a specific tool. A pair of scissors with " cravings " will be the only one allowed to have sharp cuticles without injury.
The installation of the varnish: a gesture in 3 steps
Before applying your nail polish, give a satin look to your nails naturally. Polish the top with a polisher or buffer. Depending on the nature of your nails, you can apply a whitening base if they are yellow, or a hardening treatment if they are soft.
Then, a three-step installation is recommended to avoid packages ! Still in the direction of the cuticle towards the edge, apply the first layer in the center, then another on each side. Let it dry. For an ideal outfit, put a second layer. Finish with a top coat for a long-lasting hold.
The fashion of nude varnish offers you a great opportunity to be beautiful simply. Nourish the skin of your hands and the contour of your nails every day for a few minutes to prolong the benefits of your manicure.
This will allow you to be more sure of yourself, in all circumstances, and to be beautiful to the end of your nails !
