Express manicure: what is it and how is it done?

In the fast paced pace of life, a modern woman always lacks time. Despite this, you want to look perfect, and this is possible only when every little thing is perfect. Express manicure will help in this situation. What it is, what are the differences from salon procedures and what is the essence of the technique itself, you will learn from the material of this article.

Express manicure is a procedure for the instant transformation of nails, which is performed when there is a lack of free time. It takes no more than half an hour. Basically, this is a quick manicure at an affordable price that can be done in between shopping at the supermarket. It is called an island because such a point can be located anywhere in the shopping center, since it does not need any complex equipment and furniture.

Express manicure is performed by experienced nail service masters. This is what explains the tight deadlines. In addition, quick action tools are used in the work. At the same time, in addition to hygienic manicure, the master manages to apply a coating on all nails. Depending on his experience and speed of work, the design can be classic or French.

This service is mobile, it does not require an appointment with a specialist. Basically, the execution technique will be dry (without soaking the nails in a bath with warm water).In the course of work, the master will work in rubber gloves and use acid-based materials, which, due to their composition, will accelerate the dissolution of dead cells and soften keratinized areas.

In general, most of these gels have a moisturizing complex that provides finger skin care. Also, special pencils with tips made of plastic or felt are used in the work, through which it is easier to distribute the emollient around the nail. These tools help the professional to shape the cuticle easier and faster. Often, at the end of work, a nourishing nourishing cream is applied to the skin.

Scissors or scissors in this technique are rarely used., and even then only for deburring. The main part of the work is done with files (normal and soft grinder). They give the desired shape, remove dead skin cells around the nail plate, and also level the surface of the nail. In addition, the master uses wet wipes with a disinfectant liquid. The disadvantage of this technique is the lack of sanitary conditions. Often in such points the required level of cleanliness is poorly ensured.

The essence of the so-called European unedged manicure is a quick hygienic manicure and decorative coating. Since the special gel softens the skin instantly (almost a minute after application), you have to work quickly.

The technique of execution consists of several main stages, an idea of ​​which any girl who wants to have well-groomed nails in a short period of time should have an idea.

First, the master must prepare the workplace by disinfecting it. After that, he is obliged to treat the client's hands with a broad-spectrum antiseptic. You cannot pour a lot of products on your hands, since it will moisturize the nails, thereby reducing the adhesion of varnish materials. This can be one of the reasons for the low wear of the manicure.

After disinfecting the hands, the master removes the old coating, if any, and then proceeds to modeling the nails. He is armed with a file, first with a larger grain size, and at the final stage he takes a fine one so that the edge does not have chipping. The master gives the shape, relying on the features of the nail plate.

After shaping and leveling the length, the master applies a special gel with a softening effect to the nails. This is not a simple emollient oil that is used to treat nails for cuticle care. This product is designed specifically for cuticle removal. After a minute or two, the specialist removes the dead skin pieces with a pusher or an orange stick.

After the excess skin is removed and the cuticle is sealed, it is necessary to finally get rid of the excess gel. The express material is removed, the nails are treated with an antiseptic. Depending on the chosen coating, gloss and sawdust residues are removed. To do this, a specialist should not use a hand, but a special brush, which will better remove particles of nail dust.

It is important to understand that in half an hour the master will have time to cover the nails without any design. Therefore, nail decoration is not included in the price. There is no need to count on the execution of the drawing - this service is separate. In addition, it can increase the duration of the express manicure. This moment is discussed before the start of the technique.

To master the technique of express manicure is within the power of every woman. In this case, it will be useful to arm yourself with the recommendations of the masters of the nail service, thanks to which you can to learn how to professionally and quickly perform nail design as well as experienced specialists.

• If the nails are short, it is preferable to process them with a fine-grained file. When the length is sufficient, you can start working with coarse-grained tools. It is imperative to walk over the nails with a grinder.
• You do not need to apply the product to all fingers - it is enough to treat only the cuticle removal sites with it. Rub nothing, and even more so it cannot be pressed under the nail.
• All quick action cuticle removers are different. You need to work with them, based on the recommendation of the manufacturer. In this case, there can be no variations with the technique. An increase in duration can provoke skin injury.
• You cannot start working with the cuticle gel without doing a sensitivity test. It is better to spend a little time on this than to suffer from allergies and skin burns in the future.
• Remove the cuticle cleaner immediately after cleansing the keratinized skin. The skin is removed not with your hands, but with an orange stick.
• It is important to use quality materials in your work. To do this, you can flip through the reviews of nail service professionals. To have a reliable rating of the masters, it is worth looking at the reviews on several forums.
• In work, you can use a corrector pencil, inside which a liquid is poured to remove varnish. It makes it easier to touch up the coating and eliminate possible smudges if the cuticle is not cleaned sufficiently.

Despite the seeming safety, express design is not suitable for everyone. And the reason here may lie in low-quality products that are used by would-be craftsmen of low qualifications. In an attempt to save money, they purchase products with alkalis that corrode the skin. These materials do not have a sparing effect, which neither the client nor the novice master himself may know. Therefore, in rare cases, already on the second day after the execution of the express design, inflammation may appear in the places where the gel is applied. In addition, the condition of the nail plates may worsen.

Having decided to do a quick manicure yourself, you should purchase a cuticle tool based on fruit acids. If it becomes necessary to use scissors or nippers, the movements are performed not upward, but along the cut. This will reduce the likelihood of injury to the skin.

Regardless of the type of varnish applied to the surface of the prepared nails, it must be applied in thin layers. Firstly, this will eliminate the likelihood of the coating flowing over the lateral ridges and cuticles. Secondly, it will prolong the durability of the manicure. To take for work you need varnishes with good pigmentation. They can be applied in one layer, which will shorten the time of the general procedure.

Often this design is not recommended due to the fact that a gel is used in the work. Considering that it affects the skin, it needs rest from time to time. It must also be remembered that no matter how gentle the effect of a specialized tool, its use should not be constant. It is especially important to take into account that express manicure cannot be done often at mobile points. If you really do this, then it is better at home, where you can provide the best sanitary conditions.
