Machine for hardware manicure: how to choose and use?

Well-groomed hands are considered the hallmark of a girl, they complement the image and make it more feminine and beautiful. Thanks to modern technologies and equipment, it has become possible to make a high-quality manicure not only in professional salons, but also at home. To facilitate independent nail care, it is enough to purchase a manicure machine and use it to process the cuticle and nail plate.

Recently, many women prefer hardware manicure, which is carried out using a special machine called a milling cutter. This device consists of a housing with a built-in power supply and an operating handle, onto which various attachments can be inserted. The machine has a speed controller, an on / off mode and an indicator. In addition, professional models are also equipped with a foot pedal that allows you to conveniently switch speeds.

Thanks to the manicure machine, you can quickly and easily provide care for the nail plates and skin of the hands.

This tool is indispensable for those women who have flaking and brittle plates, as it reduces the risk of injury and the formation of allergic reactions.

Despite the fact that the manicure machine is multifunctional, it is most often used to create a manicure. To perform the procedure at home, it is recommended to purchase a device with a speed of no more than 10,000 rpm.In beauty salons, masters use equipment with head rotation up to 30-35 thousand o / m. To process nails, the machine must be equipped with a minimum set of attachments.

• Milling cutters. These are cutting blades that help remove hardened skin fragments.
• Bor. This is a tool that performs cuticle removal.
• Polisher. Made of silicone and coated with a special component with fine abrasive. White tips allow you to smooth the nail, blue tips are used to treat gel and acrylic surfaces, and dark ones eliminate calluses and dense formations on the skin.
• Grinder. Helps to correct the shape of the plate and evens out furrows and waviness on the surface of the stratum corneum.
• Cap. It is a disposable instrument and is used to treat hardened skin.

Thus, having the apparatus and all of the above attachments, you can independently tidy the nails and prepare them with high quality for the subsequent design. Thanks to simple actions in a short time, it is possible to correct the length and shape of the nail, remove the cuticle and rough skin. After such a procedure, the manicure is perfect and retains its attractive appearance for a long time. In addition, hardware manicure protects nails from damage and makes their surface even and smooth, which is important, for example, for a jacket.

No matter how beautiful a gel nail design is, sooner or later it loses its attractiveness, so you have to remove it. The easiest and most affordable way in this case will be to use a manicure device - it will provide painless and gentle removal of shellac. Unlike the procedure for creating a manicure, the removal of gel or acrylic is carried out at a higher rotational speed of the cutter and requires care. To clean the nail plates, metal and ceramic nozzles with large notches are used.

Metallic ones are made of hard alloys and are well suited for removing a thick layer of gel. They can operate in two modes: reverse and forward. The main advantage of the attachments is also the fact that they do not create gel dust.

The process of removing gel with a manicure machine is simple. To do this, the master takes a comfortable position and begins to work from the cuticle area, performing movements first clockwise and then counterclockwise. Then clean the plate around the edges by swiping the machine from top to bottom. After the hardware removal of the gel, the surface of the marigold remains in the same condition as before the extension.

Today, a large assortment of manicure devices is presented on the market. Moreover, each model may differ not only in design, but also in functional features. Therefore, when purchasing a product, it is important to pay attention to some basic indicators.

• Power. If a manicure machine will be used in a salon, then it is advisable to choose it with a high rotational speed of the cutters. For home use, a device with a speed of up to 10,000 rpm is perfect. It costs much less and will allow a novice master to get skills in work without injuring the marigold. For products without a built-in vacuum cleaner, the optimal power is considered to be from 30 to 60 watts.
• Engine type. The devices are produced with brushed and brushless motors. The first type is most often found in simple models, such motors create a lot of noise at high speeds, quickly heat up and fail. The second option is considered more progressive and technological. These motors work silently, as they do not consist of brushes, but of special sensors.

• Location of the cord. Its length should be optimal and not interfere during operation.If the cord is long, then it will constantly gather in a knot and twist, which will cause a lot of inconvenience. In addition, the place where the wire with the handle is attached must be well insulated. The shape of the wire can be either straight or twisted.
• No vibration. The machine should not generate vibrations at a high speed.
• Hardware device handle. Typically, the weight of the pens is between 150 and 200 grams. For work, it is best to choose a heavier handle, since it should not vibrate during the procedure. The diameter of the handle is selected so that it fits easily in the palm of your hand.
• The presence of attachments. As a rule, most models of manicure machines are equipped with the required number of attachments (usually there are five of them). At the same time, some manufacturers supplement the device with only a minimal set. Therefore, this nuance must be foreseen in advance and, if necessary, additionally purchase nail files and cutters. The complete set includes ceramic, metal and diamond cutters.

• Pedal. Thanks to the foot control, the work process is facilitated.
• Built-in vacuum cleaner. General hygiene and keeping the workplace clean is considered an important condition when creating a manicure. The presence of a vacuum cleaner will save you from the formation of gel dust and protect the master from allergic reactions. This is especially important in salons, where a specialist has to serve many clients per day.
• Place of work. In the event that the master plans to perform a manicure not only in the salon, but also at the clients' home, the machine must be additionally equipped with a handbag or a carrying case.
• Overheat protection. With frequent use of the device, it may overheat and fail. That is why a function must be provided that will protect the equipment from breakdown and prolong its operation.
• Possibility to enable reverse rotation. The presence of a reverse is important when processing not only the nail plate, but also the cuticle.

In addition, you should also consider the cost of the product, brand awareness and user reviews.

You also need to make sure that the machine has a standard clip and that all types of attachments will fit.

After the manicure machine is selected and purchased, you can safely perform a manicure at home, but you need to use the device correctly. This will help to avoid injury and prolong the service life. Before starting work, it is necessary to carefully inspect the control unit, micromotor, pedal and make sure that they have no visible defects. Depending on the type of nail treatment, a special nozzle is selected and neatly placed in the nib of the pen. It must be inserted all the way and fixed well.

During operation, compliance with the speed also plays a huge role, the rotational speed of the cutters should not exceed the permissible value - this can lead to microvibration of the motor and subsequent malfunction of the device. At a high rotation speed, not only the nozzles will heat up, but also the apparatus itself. The motor starts working when the pedal is pressed, its speed must be adjusted smoothly. The nozzles may only be replaced when the device is completely disconnected from the power supply.

Regardless of whether a simple manicure or gel removal is planned, the master should use personal protective equipment: a screen (glasses), a mask and gloves. If during the operation of the micromotor increased vibration is felt, work must be suspended and the cause of the malfunction must be found out. Repairs to the product should only be carried out at service centers.

It is impossible to work with the device on the weight - the master must be sure to select a convenient support point. The movements of the cutters are short and smooth. The surface of the nail is treated along no more than three seconds (otherwise, the plate can be injured and cause a burning sensation).

After the work with the manicure machine is completed, it is important to put it in order. For this, the outer parts of the device are cleaned of dust using a soft cloth soaked in alcohol or a special cleaning solution. You can also remove dust with a vacuum cleaner. As for the open mechanisms, they are cleaned with brushes.

The frequency of such events depends on the intensity of use of the device. So, for example, in the salons, the car must be sent for inspection once every three months. It is forbidden to independently engage in internal cleaning, it should only be carried out by a specialist.

After the theory has been studied, you can start using the manicure machine. To do hardware processing of nails at home, you should perform some steps in stages.

• First, you need to select all the necessary attachments and prepare the skin of the fingers for the procedure. The cuticle can be trimmed or soaked in an emollient oil and pushed back with an orange stick.
• Then a medium hard diamond cutter is attached to the handle and the skin around the nails is processed. At this stage, it is important to monitor the sensations: if you feel that the nozzle is removing a small layer, then it is recommended to replace it with another one (with greater abrasiveness). Also, using a diamond cutter, the cuticle area is polished.
• The next step is to form the nail plate using a trapezoidal or cylindrical cutter. A minimum length of 2 mm must be left above the fingertips.

• Then the nails are polished with a machine - this must be done carefully so as not to damage the horny surface and not leave scratches on it. The nozzle should perform movements in different directions and not linger in one area for more than a second. The procedure ends with cleaning the plates from dust and processing them with oil. A manicure can be supplemented with simply colored varnish or decorated with an unusual design.

In addition, the device is ideal for removing gel coatings. The rules for using the typewriter in this case are similar. The work must be carried out consistently and carefully, making sure that the device does not overheat. However, one should take into account the fact that a lot of dust arises during the cleaning of the gel, so the machine will have to be periodically cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.

The market for manicure products is represented by a huge selection of hardware devices. Models of manicure machines differ in size, weight, design, price and manufacturer. In this case, the latter plays a huge role in the purchase of a product, as it guarantees the quality and durability of the device.
