In order to do a manicure yourself, you need to prepare the tools with which the processing, correction and staining of the marigolds are carried out. You will definitely need the following items.

• Nail scissors. It is important that they are sharp enough. With prolonged use, the scissors begin to dull, and instead of a straight cut, they crush the nail plate. In this case, it is impossible to achieve a neat appearance of the nail.
• File. Experts do not recommend using metal files. Because of them, the nails begin to exfoliate strongly over time. The best option are glass instruments for shaping and processing the edges of the marigolds.
• Cuticle sticks. Orange tree sticks are most commonly found on sale. They are the most convenient to use as they do not injure the skin at the base of the nail.

• Nail care products: sea ​​salt, strengthening and nourishing oils. Baths with sea salt strengthen the nail plates well, and essential oils nourish and make the surface of the nails smooth and shiny.

Therefore, it is worth stocking up on nail polish remover. In order not to dry out and not injure the nails, it is better to buy such a liquid, which additionally contains softening components.
• Cotton balls, sticks and discs. They will be needed to correct manicure and remove varnish.

• Nourishing hand cream. The condition of the skin of the fingers and palms is no less important than the neatness of the nails. Untidy hands can spoil the visual perception of even the most stylish and original manicure.
• Hardener for varnish. This tool will help the applied varnish layer to stay on the nails for longer.
• Nail polish.

The main condition for creating a nail design is the proper condition of the latter. The Feng Shui teachings also emphasize that applying flowers and symbols to unkempt nails is likely to be ineffective. Energy flows through clean, prepared channels. The neglected state of the hands impedes its flow, inhibits the reception and release of energy particles.

Therefore, caring for fingers and nails should become a must for girls and women seeking emotional balance and harmony.
