How to file nails correctly?
As a rule, before starting to do your own manicure, you should carefully prepare your hands.
How does this happen?
⠀
1. The first step is to wash your hands with soap and water.
⠀
2. Then we prepare a nail file, with which we need to form the desired shape of the nail plate. Which file is better to cut your nails? It is better to select a tool with an abrasiveness of 200 to 300 grit.
Montbleu glass nail files contain 200-230 grit. The figure is not accurate, since it is handmade and there is a smooth transition from soft to hard on the surface of the file. As a rule, at the base of the file, the surface is softer and amounts to 230 grit, and closer to the tip, the surface becomes rougher and amounts to 200 grit.
3. How to file nails correctly? The file should only move in one direction. This usually happens this way: from the edge to the center of the plate. Manicurists advise keeping the nail file parallel to the part of the nail plate that is filing.
⠀
4. The tip of the nail is sawed with a certain movement “towards oneself". The tool is tightly pressed against the nail plate. The file itself should be perpendicular to the nail.
⠀
If you do not follow these simple, but very important rules, then damage to the keratin layers of the nail will be provided.
⠀
5. How to properly file the other side of the nail plate? The principle of operation is exactly the same. It is necessary to round off the edges of the nail a little, but so that the angle of inclination of the file changes.
⠀
6. Small notches and irregularities that may form at the edges of the nail plate can be simply removed with a buff. The tool should be guided from the top to the very bottom, while the finger should be turned.
⠀
7. How to make nails appear glossy? In this case, we need the buffing side of the buff. After such treatment, you will not even need to varnish your nails.
⠀
8. And at the end of the whole process, nourishing oil is applied to the cuticle.
