Benefits and indications
Japanese manicure received the status of a separate procedure in 1958. But in the Land of the Rising Sun, the history of this procedure goes back more than 4 centuries. It was recognized as one of the most aesthetic and effective and this is where the superiority lies:

Japanese polishing of nail plates
A distinctive feature of this procedure from hardware or conventional manicure is compliance with physiological characteristics and careful treatment of tissues.
During Japanese polishing of nails, a pearly shine appears. This occurs due to the formation of a special barrier in the form of a thin layer that protects from harmful influences, and the nail itself does not rub or polish.
When exposed to detergents and water, this layer is not washed off. The effect of the components after glossing lasts for 3-4 weeks.
Important point! If you carry out this procedure once a month, the condition of the tissues will improve significantly and become ideal. It is recommended to do this regularly, since all vitamins and microelements are fully absorbed in two to three weeks.
The key ingredients in Japanese manicure or polish are beeswax and diatomaceous earth. These components are rich in biological active substances and important chemical connecting elements. They help protect, preserve and restore the texture of the nail plates.
Frequency of procedures
Since the Japanese technique involves care with a therapeutic bias, it is worth adhering to certain instructions.
- Manicures are performed no more than once every few weeks. During the time between sessions, the nutrients are absorbed and work towards recovery or healing.
- The average duration of the procedure should be at least an hour.
- Care and restoration are carried out in courses, the duration of which is 8-10 procedures.
While completing the course, you can resort to other types of manicure as final stages.

Tools
Manicure is performed with a specific set of tools. Kits available. And although their cost is quite significant, don’t let that scare you. The ingredients will last for a long time.
Commercially available Japanese manicure kits include:
- Mineral-based paste, which is used for medicinal and restorative purposes. There are several varieties, differing in purpose of use. They mainly contain algae extract, beeswax, pearl dust, peptides, keratin and other components.
- Block for polishing the nail plate made of suede (calf) leather.
- Special powder enriched with microelements for polishing.
- Orange sticks are a tool needed to push back cuticles.
- Suede files. To adjust the shape.
- A lotion that softens and removes dead cuticle cells.
Pi Shine technique: features
Japanese manicure P.Shine is recommended to restore the plate after removing artificial nails. In general, the procedure is no different from the previous one. There are also no metal tools here. The set consists of preparations based on bamboo, red tea and ylang-ylang oil. The manufacturer also added a serum with cucumber extract to the complex, which will rejuvenate the skin of the hands and restore damaged nail plates.
At the end of the P.Shine Japanese manicure, a peeling mixture based on palmarosa oil, known for its exfoliating effect, is applied. If this product is not included in the set, it can be replaced with a creamy massage mass with a pleasant relaxing jasmine aroma.
Execution technique
As already mentioned, the procedure can be performed at home.
A step-by-step description of how to do a Japanese manicure is offered.
- Stage No. 1. It is necessary to remove the varnish coating, then disinfect and degrease your hands with an antiseptic.
- Stage No. 2. First, using a hard file, the desired shape of the nails is formed. This is followed by the polishing process. Roughness and unevenness are smoothed out with a soft buff.
- Stage No. 3. A softening agent is applied to the cuticles. After a couple of minutes, the thin soft skin is moved with an orange stick or pusher to the base of the nail.
- Stage No. 4. A gel scrub should be applied to each nail and massaged to improve blood circulation and cleanse the nail plates.
- Stage No. 5. A special care product is applied to the rollers, and the hands are immersed in a warm bath with dissolved “royal pearls”. During the procedure, you can relax, close your eyes and enjoy relaxation.
- Stage No. 6. After drying your hands, critically examine and correct deficiencies, if any remain.
- Stage No. 7. Apply mineral paste to already dry nails using a plastic pusher or a special stick (depending on the kit’s configuration) and spread it with a polishing block in the direction from the cuticle.
- Stage No. 8. Glossing of the nail plates is done with polishing powder using a special block or buff with quick movements in all directions.
- Stage No. 9. Finally, the nails must be treated with a medicinal serum, which is selected depending on the condition of the nail plates. If the situation requires it, you can rub in a medicinal aromatic oil.
- Stage No. 10 From nail treatment to massage. Fingers and palms are massaged with silk bags filled with hot or cooled sand, depending on the desire or condition of the hands.
A good option would be to alternate high and low temperatures, this will improve blood circulation in the extremities. The massage ends with rubbing hand care products into the skin.
You can see what the step-by-step process looks like in the presented photos of Japanese manicure.
Spa-Manicure in Japanese from Masura
We all love to pamper ourselves. Masks, peelings, wraps... SPA treatments give us not only pleasure, but also comprehensive care - be it the body, face, hair and, of course, hands. Time spent in your favorite SPA salon has a magical effect not only on the skin, but also on your mood in general. What if you arrange a SPA without leaving your home?
In a country where calligraphy merges with poetry, and the study of etiquette begins with how to offer a person a fan, the approach to nail beauty is distinguished by special sophistication and unquestionable principles of quality.
Masura's philosophy is to be as close to nature as possible. Japan, known for its penchant for meticulous skin care, is pampering this time too. I remember the Kanebo brand, famous for its two-step skin cleansing system, their delicious silk lotions and excellent masks. Yes, the Japanese definitely know a lot about skin care. I am convinced of this time after time. And today I want to show you SPA for hands and nails from Masura.
So, the format of today’s review is step-by-step photos with product descriptions.
Let's get started, I guess. Stock up on cookies and tea, I'll be here for a long time today)))
What we have is a week-old manicure with a two-day-old coating:
We wash off the old varnish to start putting our hands in order: The starting material is dry cuticle and skin of the hands (dacha, I love you!), slightly grown length. Please do not pay attention to the yellowish tips of the nails, very soon they will take on an acceptable appearance, they just have to grow a little)) And also do not look at the scratched hands, I have a temperamental kitten))
First we need to file the length and, if necessary, shape the nails. The Wooden&Elegant wooden file does an excellent job of all these functions.
180 grit The base is balsa wood. Despite the fact that the file is very thin and not very abrasive (in my opinion), it can remove the length in a matter of seconds without injuring the nail or allowing it to delaminate. And due to the fact that it is very thin and has a tapered edge, it is very convenient for sawing off the dry skin of the side rollers.
We file the length and shape the nails: We file the side ridges with the same file:

Now comes the peeling time - Fresh Fruit Gommage - Gommage with fruit acids and passion fruit seeds
Fresh Fruit Gommage from the Masura Gold Line is a fresh SPA gommage with fruit acids, crushed wild rice and passion fruit seeds. A tropical SPA product with a unique set of natural ingredients in one product. Fruit acids (AHA acids) accelerate the exfoliation of dead skin cells.
Broken rice is a natural gommage with a gentle effect on the most sensitive skin. Passion fruit seeds are a natural gommage for the driest areas of the skin. Shea butter – high emollient properties. Jojoba oil – high moisturizing properties. Macadamia Nut Oil is the best skin care product with antioxidant properties. The result is soft, beautiful and moisturized hand skin. Sodium hyaluronate is an analogue of hyaluronic acid, promotes tissue regeneration without the formation of scars, makes the skin softer and smoother. Collagen - stimulates the formation of the skin's own collagen. Significantly improves the appearance of the skin, giving it strength, elasticity and firmness. Elastin - ensures the restoration and preservation of skin connective tissue. It has moisture-retaining and regenerative properties, restores the elasticity of skin tissue. Sage extract has a natural antiseptic effect on the skin. Chamomile extract - soothes irritated areas of the skin, making the effect of gommage granules more gentle and soft on the skin. Does not require removal with water. Completely and quickly absorbed. Used in a SPA procedure before using the Gold Peel Off Golden Mask.
Application: Apply to the skin of your hands with light massage movements until absorbed into the skin. Wipe off the spent particles of crushed wild rice and passion fruit seeds with a dry cloth. Apply Gold Peel Off Gold Mask to your hands.
Girls, if I start describing this peeling with all the feelings that overwhelm me, you will immediately send me to the right address))) So I’ll try briefly. Firstly, the smell. I'm a fan of fragrance-free products. Strong smelling products irritate me. That’s why I even buy neutral shower gels - mint, green tea, etc... So. Scrub - the aroma reminded me of the freshest gooseberry jam from the refrigerator. For some reason, it came from the refrigerator. He's so fresh. Overall, a delight. The consistency is quite liquid, semi-gel. In the first couple of minutes, the scrubbing particles are not very noticeable on the skin, but then it begins to act like a peeling sheet, collecting all the dead skin cells from the hands. In general, I have never complained about terrible dryness - or any dryness at all - of my skin, but you know what? Can you imagine the hand of a one-year-old child? Almost the same tenderness! I swear!

Before the Golden Mask, I decided to apply Cuticle Algae Gel to soften the cuticle
Gel for nourishing cuticle massage with algae from the Sea of Japan. Softens and slows down cuticle growth. Therapeutic algae fill microcracks in the periungual skin, nourish and moisturize it.
Apply to the skin around the nail and massage for a couple of minutes until the balls dissolve and the product is absorbed. The gel with micro-balls perfectly massages the cuticle, slightly pushing it back and at the same time scrubbing a little. I won’t talk about filling microcracks, I can’t see that. But I can say for sure that the appearance of the cuticle is already becoming much more decent. Whether it’s due to this product or the pencil (at the end of the review), my cuticles really began to grow much more slowly. And so... neat or something)))

I am already satisfied with the result after using the peeling, but the ritual requires applying the Gold Peel Off Hand Mask
The Gold Peel Off golden mask from the Golden SPA line contains the latest ingredients that can turn a hand SPA procedure into a real pleasure.
The golden mask contains sucrose and a skin-related microelement - gluconolactone, which moisturize and soften the skin, saturate it with beneficial elements and increase its protective functions. Algin - dried natural algae in gelatinized form - is able to stimulate and regenerate skin cells, has a softening and mild bactericidal effect.
The composition of the mask does not contain preservatives. A gold mask is made immediately before each procedure. When combined with water, the mask powder forms a transparent mass, which is applied in an even layer to the skin of the hands. The mass hardens within 15 minutes and wraps the skin of the hands in transparent gold gloves, under which the fruit acids of the Fresh Fruit Gommage SPA products from Masura actively work. The mask can be removed with one movement of the hand and does not require removal with water.
Application: For one procedure (2 hands), measure 25-30 grams of mask into a clean mixing container. Add 40 ml of clean water at room temperature. Mix until a homogeneous mass is formed. Apply the entire mixture to your hands in an even layer of 2-3 mm. After 15 minutes, remove the formed mask from the skin like a glove. The kneaded mask cannot be reused.

We got to the nails. What do we have? There are grooves on the little and ring fingers, and there is not enough shine.
We will fix both problems. We will need:
Polishing block Kichin
Polishing block made of genuine calfskin for sealing nails. Boat shape.
Wonderful thing! I like it much better than this one from my favorite brand EzFlow. Well, if you compare it with ordinary polishing buff blocks, the latter can easily be donated/thrown away/burned/eaten. Very comfortable handle, boat shape - top class ergonomics.

Mineral paste for manicure Ni
Mineral paste is one of the main preparations in the Japanese manicure procedure. Ni mineral paste seals and polishes the natural nail plate; it is saturated with microelements beneficial for nails: marine peptides, keratin, pearl chips. Mineral paste, like mastic, fills all the microcracks and grooves of the nail, strengthening it and giving the nail plate a lasting shine. Application: Use Ni Mineral Paste with Kichin Suede Polish.
I had my doubts about this remedy, but it also amazed me. The action as a ridge filler is excellent. Of course, not the same as the usual ridge base, but very worthy. Seals the entire nail. In the first minutes there is not much shine. But... No matter how shiny my nails are after polishing powder, after a while (3 weeks have passed since these photos), my nails on my ring and little fingers shine - strongly and still do. But the rest lasted only 10 days. Although... Who sees it under the varnish?)))
I apply mineral paste to 2 striped nails. And I rub it in with a polishing block.

Natural polishing powder Hon
Natural polishing powder with beeswax creates an additional lasting shine on the natural nail plate. Application: Use Hon Polishing Powder with Kichin Suede Polisher.
As I understand it (if you compare) this powder is something like Miracle Shine from EzFlow. In the sense that the impact is similar. Added to assist the polishing block. The shine is simply amazing! The ends of the nails are like mini mirrors.
I apply it to the nails of the middle, index and other fingers.
I also rub and polish with Kichin

Make your cuticles look better with Amakawa Blue Cuticle Remover
:
Liquid for softening and removing cuticles with mineral components in a convenient dispensing pencil form. The product has a rich composition of medicinal microelements, has a moisturizing and antiseptic effect on the periungual skin, and slows down the growth of the cuticle.
And again delights, gasps and sighs.
A thin product, almost water, without taste, color or smell. I don't know how it works, but it works! Wherever you put the cuticle, there it will stand and remain; everything unnecessary will be taken away at once. Plus it’s already immediately moisturized. And, you know, it becomes so thin and transparent. Either she or the gel (or both) really slow down her growth. Price:

For comparison, 2 hands. Guess which one was processed?)))
Painting your nails:
I kept silent about the base and drying - I use my own. They suit me completely and I'm afraid to experiment. Although you could still try drying, why am I doing this?
Here's another... Instead of varnish, you could apply the Shimerike White Whitening Mask
This is what they write about it: Whitening film mask with D-panthenol for dry and brittle nails. The mask is developed on a water basis to restore dry, brittle nails, as well as nails with flaking free edges. The mask formula includes D-panthenol, a cosmetic ingredient responsible for moisturizing and restoring cell plasticity. Intensive hydration of nails occurs thanks to a conductor - iodized water - which distributes D-panthenol throughout the cells of the nail plate. At the same time, the film structure provides natural air exchange on the surface of the nails. The effectiveness of D-panthenol lasts for 24 hours, then the mask can be easily removed, like a face film mask. The mask is evenly applied to the nail plate, forming a durable coating with a camouflage effect and a soft shine. On the nail plate the mask becomes completely transparent. After 24 hours or earlier, you should renew the coating by first removing the film mask. SHIMERIKE WHITE-MASK can also be used as a night mask for nails if you wear decorative polish during the day.
I had high hopes for this serum. That she will whiten my nails so much. But it didn't work out for me. The first day I carried her without incident. Then I took it off and applied it again. After some time, Cinderella woke up in me, and I went to put things in order, wash the floors, etc. And in the evening I couldn’t understand whether the mask had become so absorbed into my nails that it could not be removed. I picked and picked my nails until I realized that the mask had been washed off with fairy and water. So either I'm doing something wrong or I don't understand something. In general, I don't know how to use it. It must be on the nail to have an effect. And it dissolves in water. So what should we do?

Well, one of the last stages has arrived - moisturize the skin of your hands. Softening non-abrasive gel for hands and cuticles Amakawa Pink
A thick softening gel with a pleasant cherry aroma, has no abrasive particles - non-abrasively removes dead skin particles, evens out the turgor of the skin of the hands (and feet), whitens the skin. Directions for use: Apply a thin layer to clean hands, spread with gentle massage movements and leave on the skin for 4-5 minutes. Remove any remaining spa products with a dry cloth. In a full-fledged SPA procedure, we apply a Cocoa or Rose Petals hand mask. For a European no-edge manicure, apply Amakawa Pink to the cuticles and side ridges in an even layer, leave for 3-5 minutes. Use a dry cloth to carefully remove any remaining product. Using a Tachibana stick or Pusher, push back the cuticle and remove the pterygium. At the end of the procedure, apply the Rose Petals mask or Cocoa mask and Japanese Jasmine hand and nail cream to your hands.
The first thing I want to say is that I use this product as a final product, without applying anything to the skin afterwards. And without wiping off the residue with a napkin (what residue? It is absorbed 100%!). For me it's much more. But perhaps girls with dry hand skin will need further care. But take a look at the second photo below (this is not a wet gel gloss, this is how the skin has become!). I think I managed to convey all the tenderness of the skin that I received from using this gel. An additional bonus - no greasiness like after creams. Absolutely dry skin. But soft, moisturized, all so beautiful! The gel still smells a little chemical, but not very much.

And finally, we moisturize the cuticle. Cuticle oil “Lotus Oil”
Suiren Oiru cuticle oil in a convenient dispenser pencil form. The product contains natural extracts of vanilla and lotus seeds. The oil has a soft, soothing effect on the periungual skin and cuticle, preventing the appearance of hangnails. Lotus seed extract slows down cuticle growth.
I love such low-fat but effective products. I just can't stand oil on my skin. This lotus oil is again like water, but still a little greasy. The shine is present immediately after application. But if you rub it into the skin, it disappears. An ideal option for those who like to swatch a fresh manicure))) It provides excellent hydration. But here, you know, it’s based on needs. I apply after every manicure. That is, approximately once every 2 days. But I’m thinking of taking it to work and using it there periodically.

And, voila, our manicure is ready!
In conclusion, I want to say this: 1. All products are incredibly economical. 2. I am very pleased with the usefulness in the composition. 3. The remedies are really effective. Thanks to them, I switched to unedged manicure; my clippers and scissors are gathering dust in a box. 4. There are several volumes to choose from. From small ones in 50 (!) ml for testing, so to speak, and in decent tubs to save money if you like the product))) This applies to creams, scrubs, masks, etc.

Duration of saving the result
A complete healing course lasts from 8 to 10 sessions, after which the nails are completely restored. The effect will last as long as the body’s resources last. An additional factor may be taking vitamin complexes.
In order to have healthy and well-groomed nails, experts recommend conducting a full course once a year.

Photo of Japanese manicure
Manicure Masura: what is it?
Japanese manicure is a comprehensive care, as a result of which the nails are restored and strengthened, and acquire an attractive appearance. In addition, it is a pleasant relaxing effect that gives peace of mind.
Manicure uses products that contain natural ingredients. The main ones are: beeswax, marine peptides, pearl crumbs, ginseng. That is why the nail care procedure using products from Japanese specialists has another name - eco-manicure.
Japanese manicure will be especially useful if serious rehabilitation is required after removing extended nails. The procedure is intended for brittle and peeling nails, for dry and rough skin of the hands.
