Today, nail artists offer fashionistas different ways to treat their nails. This includes healing and caring Japanese technology, and gentle European unedged, and hardware. However, despite the abundance of choice, the classic trimmed manicure does not yield to its position. In salons, many nail experts offer this technique to their clients. They also use it at home. Why? Often, only this type of treatment is able to cope with rough, strong overgrown cuticle, keratinized skin on the side ridges. Neither the eastern method, nor the cutters, nor the remover are able to cope with such a task in a reasonable time. No one will spend hours softening or grinding the hard layer of skin to remove it with newfangled means. It is simpler, faster and easier to cut it with ordinary nippers or scissors.

This technique has also undergone changes during its use, becoming more diverse and beneficial for the health of marigolds. If desired, it can be freely combined with other techniques:

• caring and healing spa treatments, medicinal herbs, essential oils, mineral supplements;

• Brazilian and Japanese;

• European, hardware.

Since it is not always possible and time to visit a nail salon, many ladies take care of their nails at home. The classic option in this regard is one of the most affordable. It does not require special education or extensive practice. To perform it, you do not need expensive professional equipment and the ability to handle them. Even a novice craftswoman can successfully bring her hands to perfect condition by treating the nail plates and the skin around them.

What is a trim manicure in 2022?

The features of the classic method of processing nail plates are clearly indicated by its name: trimming. In other techniques, the methods have their differences:

• when using the European cuticle, the overgrown cuticle is softened with a remover. This is a special substance containing a mild solvent that acts on dead, dry areas of skin, dissolving them. Initially, the product was more caustic and was intended for removing gel polishes and false nails. After processing and softening, the remaining cuticle is moved with an orange wood stick;

• in Japanese, the cuticle is softened with oil and lotion, then simply moved with a stick.

To perform the modern method of classical nail treatment, good tools made of high-quality steel are used:

• rounded or square blades;

• scissors, clippers or nippers;

• pushers are single-sided and double-sided, with different functionality.

The success of the work and the aesthetic appearance depend on the sharpness of their sharpening and the degree of hardness of the edges. A significant disadvantage of this technology is the high risk of damage and wounds from blades or points. In addition, if the rules for using cutting tools are violated and there is no thorough disinfection, there is a high probability of infection in the scratch. Therefore, the work is carried out extremely carefully, without sudden movements.

Before removal, the cuticle must be softened. For this purpose, baths with water or a decoction of medicinal herbs, a solution of mineral salts at a comfortable temperature are used.

When going to the salon or caring for your nails yourself, you need to remember: gentle and hardware methods are not applicable to too hard, rough cuticles. Only a good cutting tool can cope with such a problem. Experienced nail technicians, who have long trained their skills, successfully complete the task, cutting off only dead tissue and leaving a delicate, soft skin. Well, later, when the bulk of the built-up and rough skin has been safely removed, the girl can move from classic to European or Japanese manicure.

Nude manicure

In the era of everything artificial, something natural becomes even more valuable. Therefore, there is no point in talking about the importance of beige shades in the modern world; nail technicians, makeup artists and stylists love them. In a word, nude shades fit perfectly into the standards of classics and aesthetics and combine perfectly with each other.

What tools will you need when working on a classic manicure?

To do a classic manicure correctly and beautifully, you need the appropriate tools and special compounds. They are selected taking into account personal habits and preferences, the presence or absence of allergies, as well as quality. You should not skimp on tools, care products, cosmetics or disinfectants: cheapness today can result in severe grief or even injury tomorrow.

Before starting the process, you should prepare on the table:

• nail scissors, nippers or clippers;

• pushers with different attachments, spatulas;

• disinfectant liquid for hands and work area;

• a bath with a set of saline solutions or essential oils to care for fingers and strengthen nail plates;

• disposable or regular nail files, nail buff;

All tools are selected according to your hand, depending on your habits. For example, many ladies prefer to use safe clippers instead of sharp scissors. And pushers that are too long become a hindrance when performing delicate tasks in which extreme precision is important. Also, all selected compositions should not cause allergies or skin irritations. If a woman develops a rash from contact with this type of oil or care product, it must be replaced.

All reusable instruments must be sanitized before the procedure. For this use:

• special disinfectants;
• roasting or processing under a UV lamp in a special box;
• boil for 20 minutes.

Precautionary measures

• When performing trim manicure at home, make sure that the clippers or scissors are sharp enough . A dull tool will not allow you to achieve a “clean” manicure;
• ensure sterility .
  Even if you are only doing a manicure for yourself, treat your tools. Of course, you won’t get serious infections in this case, but bacteria that multiply on the surface of the pusher or nippers will happily “migrate” to the fresh cuticle cut. To treat your personal instruments, use an alcohol solution. Masters must carry out a full sterilization cycle. How and with what to disinfect, sterilize and clean manicure instruments

How to properly do a classic manicure at home

There have long been no strict boundaries in this technique: each nail artist or fashionista brings something of their own, individual, to the process. They hone their skills with original combinations and new techniques. However, the basics remain the same.

• Before starting work, even cleanly washed hands must be disinfected with an antiseptic.

• Next you need to soften the rough skin. A bath of warm water is prepared, to which mineral salt solutions, decoctions, oils and other care products are added that promote regeneration and healing of the skin. Fingers are dipped into the container for 5-15 minutes, depending on the condition of the skin.

• Then, using a pusher, the pterygium is removed from under the cuticle and side ridges, moving from the root to the tips. The shifted and raised cuticle is cut off with any sharp instrument and again passed through with a pusher. The tongs are held at an angle of 900, smoothly turning them as the plate bends.

• The plate is cleaned with a brush to remove all residues.
• The handles are blotted with a napkin and the edges are trimmed, giving them the desired shape. The nail file only works in one direction.

If a natural manicure is required, then the final stage is the application of nourishing oil. If you need a nail design, then you can start decorating your nails.
