In addition to natural ingredients, glycerin, panthenol and lanolin can be used during the procedure. With the help of these products, all layers of the nail and surrounding skin are deeply moisturized. Zinc as additives during care will speed up the restoration of the structure, and vitamins B5, E, A have a beneficial effect on the renewal of nail plates and its growth.

Manicure technique
Masura
Sequencing:
- Hand disinfection. The most important step that cannot be excluded is applying a disinfectant solution and degreaser to the skin. If the skin is very rough and dry, then, if necessary, take a softening bath with sea salt or lavender oil.
- Correction of nail shape. This is done with a diamond file, but experts recommend using a wooden one. If there are detachments and delaminations on the nails, then they must be removed with a suede buffer.
- Soften the cuticle by applying professional varnish or serum to it. This will keep the nail cells moisturized and the surrounding skin will become soft. This will avoid damage to the cuticle. After softening, the cuticle becomes pliable and can be pushed back with a pusher or an orange wood stick.
- It is better to remove any remaining moisture from the surface of the nail plate with a napkin. At the end of the procedure, you can apply a serum containing vitamins and amino acids to the nails.
- When the surface of the nails has dried and absorbed the vitamins, you can apply mineral paste using a special buff. The product is applied to the nail in a small amount. You need to rub the paste over the entire surface, moving chaotically. Nails will acquire a natural shine.
- Applying polishing powder. All steps are the same as in the previous step. Only polishing needs to be done with another buff designed specifically for powder. You need to rub in much faster than paste. The powder seals the surface of the nail and protects it from harmful influences. The resulting film cannot be washed off with water and alcohol.
- Finally, a special SPA hand massage is performed. Creams with bee jelly or jojoba, avocado or grape seed oil are best.
Technique for performing Japanese manicure Masura:
P-Shine
Sequencing:
- Japanese manicure is such a special sacrament that begins with the disinfection of hands and tools. Beginners need to look at professional tips on treating their hands before working on their nails. You need to buy disinfectants separately from the kit. The shape and length of the nails are also adjusted, and all detachments are removed. The P Shine kit includes a special double-sided buffer for this purpose with varying degrees of abrasiveness.
- A softening agent is applied to the cuticle. Some stores sell oils that soften the cuticle so much that it can be easily removed using orange sticks. Remains of the gel or product are removed with lint-free wipes. You also need to buy them separately or use regular wet wipes.
- When the surface of the nails is dry, you need to rub in the mineral paste with a special buff. P Shine added a plastic pusher to the paste. The buff is usually green in color and, thanks to its soft suede surface, gently rubs the paste into the nail.
- The effect of all the work done is consolidated with a special polish powder, which will give the nails a natural shine. P Shine have developed a special pink suede buff for this purpose. The powder contains beeswax, which covers all nails with a thin layer, thereby protecting them from negative effects.

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.
Instructions for doing it at home
- The cuticle, skin around the nails and the nails themselves are treated with softening oil. The oil should be rubbed in with gentle, smooth movements, like a massage. This will ensure maximum penetration of oil into the skin. Before starting the next stage you need to wait 10 minutes.
- Japanese manicure kits include special chichibana sticks. They are similar to regular orange sticks. On each nail, the cuticle is pushed back with a stick, and the pterygium is carefully cleaned. Also, use a stick to remove dirt from under the free edge of the nail.
- Preparing nails for paste consists of polishing and filing them. For this you need a special suede block. It does not harm the nails and carefully removes dead nail particles. It erases all cracks and chips and promotes nail growth.
- Using a special buff or stick, apply a little paste to each nail. The buff should be made of suede. This material will not scratch the surface of the nail, nor will it thin the nail layer.
- For the final therapeutic effect, you need to apply powder that has the property of imparting gloss. This stage cannot be skipped, since all the beneficial substances that got inside the structure along with the use of the paste will quickly be erased. The powder will seal all the microelements inside the nail and give your hands a well-groomed and healthy look. The beautiful pinkish shine on your nails will not go away after swimming and washing dishes.
- Baths with herbs. They will open the pores in the periungual ridges and cuticle, soften the epidermis and moisturize it. To do this, purchase the most common herbal mixture at the pharmacy and mix it with sea or mineral salt. This mixture must be placed in fabric bags, which are heated in a water bath, and after the manicure, the hands are massaged. After this, it is worth applying a light cream to maintain the water balance in the epidermis and protect it.

Japanese manicure has a cumulative effect.
