Neat and well-groomed hands are always very beautiful. A good and high-quality manicure not only makes the hands more attractive, in the modern world it is a very important component of a harmonious woman's image. Luxurious manicure is every girl's dream. Fortunately, this is not a problem. You can create an interesting nail design both in the salon and on your own at home. In this article, we will talk about how to get rid of the most common problem when applying gel polish to the nail - getting polish on the cuticle and skin. We will also present several options for protecting the skin before applying varnish.

Features of working with gel polish

Gel polish is a fashionable trend of the last few seasons. Its advantage is that having all the necessary tools and equipment, you can do a manicure yourself, without wasting time and money on a trip to the salon. For many, this has already become an additional income. But in addition to the desire and inventory, you also need to have special skills that will help make everything perfect.

There are methods that will help you make your manicure perfect without staining your skin and cuticles:

  • we use petroleum jelly;
  • we use PVA;
  • apply a greasy cream;
  • we use special means.

There is one more method - sticking tape, but it is ineffective and there will be no sense from it. Let's consider them all in turn.

Petrolatum

You can use petroleum jelly to create a protective barrier near the nail. It is necessary to gently apply petroleum jelly to the cuticle and skin around the nail. This material has a structure that allows it to clothe the skin and prevent the varnish from sinking into it.

PVA glue

It would seem a very dubious method, but effective. Using a small brush, apply the glue to the skin and cuticles. You need to be careful so that the glue does not flow under the nail. When air acts on the glue, it turns into a film that envelops the skin and does not allow the varnish to pass through. Any material that has gotten onto the protective film can be removed with a cotton pad moistened with water.

The method is perfectly applicable for a manicure that is performed at home. It is affordable, convenient and does not need additional financial expenses.

Fat cream

The most popular and used way to protect the cuticle from unnecessary nail polish is to use a greasy cream. Thanks to its inherent density, a previously familiar film is formed, which is so necessary for protection. Like petroleum jelly, carefully and carefully using a brush, the cream is applied to the surface of the skin and cuticle, removing with a cotton swab at the end.

Keep in mind that this method will not work if you are doing an ombre manicure. It involves painting not only the nail, but also the skin next to it. In this case, you need to use special means.

Special protective equipment

Along with the emergence of this type of manicure, such as gel polish, special tools have appeared that will help with the protection of the cuticle. They showed themselves well and found application in all professionals of the manicure business. Their advantages are as follows.

  • The presence of natural rubber in the composition and the absence of harmful components.
  • They smell good. The formula of their composition includes essential oils that have a positive effect on the skin.
  • Dry quickly.
  • The size of the container is small, it will fit anywhere.
  • A small, neat brush ensures easy application and integrity of the nail surface.
  • At low cost, they have a long shelf life.

How to remove excess nail polish?

If, due to some events, you forgot to use protective equipment or a small incident happened, use the following advice: Take:

  • orange stick;
  • a cotton swab and toothpicks;
  • small strong tassel.

These tools will help remove gel polish from the skin around the nail after drying.

Orange stick

You can buy it in a wide variety of places. In most cases, it is used for the cuticle, but here it also found its application:

  • we use a nail polish remover, in which you need to slightly dip the stick;
  • very carefully wipe the skin with it, on which we leave the varnish;
  • we perform this action as necessary until all unnecessary material is removed.

Cotton swab

The method is easy and quite often used:

  • in the same liquid as before, we dip and wipe the skin;
  • because of its size, the cotton swab will not wipe some places, it is now that you need a toothpick and a piece of cotton wool;
  • wipe the skin with a toothpick, on which cotton wool was previously wound and soak in liquid;
  • we do everything carefully so as not to catch the base varnish.

Apply a brush

We take the most common medium or small brush.

The procedure is simple and straightforward:

  • we take an emulsion to remove varnish, dip a brush into it;
  • we clean, as in the previous methods, until completely wiped off.

Choose for yourself the most convenient and suitable way to remove unwanted products from nails, or even better, use the methods for protection that have been given above. Experiment, be original, then the manicure will be your pride and "highlight".
