In order for manicure to look neatly, did not cause you inconvenience or even injury, and also did not occupy a lot of time, it is important not only to have suitable skills, but also necessary devices. What is needed tools for manicure?
Manager to promote goods and services of Zewana Irina Astakhova.
"In order to understand this issue, it will be determined that the manicure is two species - the unedged (so-called European) and edged," says the manager for the promotion of goods and services of the company Zewana Irina Astakhova. - And for each of these species, various sets of tools are needed. So, when performing a European unedged manicure, tweezers, nippers or scissors are not used. Whereas in the classic edged manicure, these tools play an extremely important role. About them it is worth telling more.
Observe the entire list
So, for the classic manicure, the following tools are needed:
- Films;
- scissors;
- nippers and / or tweeters;
- Pusher (Shabra) for the cuticle;
- polishing leg or bug.
These materials and equipment for manicure are a minimum that is necessary for creating a high-quality and safe manicure at home. The greatest load when performing the right manicure carries a saw. Before the appearance of laser saws, it was necessary to select individual saws for natural nails, as well as extensive and for pedicure - so that inappropriate abrasiveness does not destroy natural nail and not provoke the separation of the nail plate. Today, the situation is somewhat different. Studio Nail Service Zewana offers to use a laser pylon. On the metal plate of stainless steel laser engraved cloves of different widths, heights and tilt. Thus, when you lead a pail in one direction by the free edge of the nail, it cuts it, and in the opposite - seals the edge of the nail and prevents further stratification. Another plus: the sawing is conveniently bent under the shape of the nail.
As for the boughs and pylons for polishing, the situation is much easier with them. But it is important to remember that even very healthy and strong nails can be carefully polished at no more than once a week. Therefore, Zewana proposes to use the instant brilliance, which does not require long and thorough polishing, and literally for 2-3 movements gives the nail smoothness and shine.
Well, and the most important tool when performing a manicure - both in the arsenal of a professional manicure master and in the cosmetics of any woman - are scissors. After all, with the help of manicure scissors, you can gently adjust the shape of the free edge of the nail, cut the cuticle and burrs.
Various twisers are also used to remove burrs and cuticles. They have tribaded tips and beveled edges, which allows them to fit the skin almost perpendicular to them. Such crushes should not be delayed, but carefully bite off. If you prefer to make a edged classic manicure, without twigs to remove the cuticle you can not do.
Well, finally, the last, but no less important tool is a flusher, or Shabra. It is necessary for preliminary preparation of cuticle to circumcision. Pusher for manicure must be sharp on the one hand (to remove the cuticle from the nail plate and put the "fence" for the convenience of cutting, as well as to remove the remaining PTRIG - this is such a thin layer of the cuticle, an earneering of the nail plate and growing together with the nail ), and on the other hand, in the form of a blade (so that after processing, move the skin and give the nail well a beautiful view). Pusher for a pedicure should have a less acute and more elongated tip on one side, so that it is more convenient to brush under the nails in all hard-to-reach corners and do not hurt. "
Choose scissors
Since manicure scissors are one of the most important tools for manicure, you need to know the main rules how to choose the best tool. After all, how neatly the cuticle is treated and what form to have nails, the overall impression of the appearance of female marigolds depends.
Manicure scissors for nails are divided into two types - some of them are designed to cut off the free edge of the nail, others - to remove the cuticle.
"Nail scissors are straight and curved, as well as narrow and wide," explains Irina Astakhov. - Choose scissors straight or curved is a matter of habit. But another moment is important. Because the narrow scissors have a smoother sharpening and are designed to cut non-harden nails and cutting with rigid, thick cuticle and sowing. Scissors with a wide blade are designed for thick nails on their hands and legs. One blade of such a model has a small notch for hard clutch with solid nail.
Zewana's specialists draw the scissors under the left and right hand. The main thing is that you need to consider when choosing, - fastening the instrument (most often the scissors begin to chew a cuticle or climb the nail not because they fucked, and because their move was sinking, and then it makes sense to pull the screw in the joint), as well as the sharpening of the knives (You can only check the quality of sharpening on the nail: if you are right-handed, take the scissors into your left hand and cut off the nail, respectively, if you are left-hand, cut your right hand). An important role also plays the closure of knives -
There should be no grinding, clicking and with a slight pressure on the blades should not cut each other and the material from which scissors are made.
Now - about scissors for the cuticle. Here the first thing you need to do is carefully inspect your nails and explore the cuticle and the area around the nail (side rollers). The fact is that all people have a cold cuticle. Someone is fat and dense, someone is thin and transparent, and someone has an average density. For each type of cuticle exist their manicure scissors.
For thin, barely distinguishable cuticles are suitable scissors with the thinnest web and thin tips. Such scissors are able to pick up even the finest cuticle and cut it gently.
For thick and dense cuticle, it is better to choose manicure scissors with thicker tips. Such scissors are also useful to use when processing dry skin areas on the side rollers of nails.
For normal cuticle (and this is a soft to the touch, its length is about a millimeter) standard manicure scissors are suitable.
Check the quality sharpening cuticle scissors very simple: take a soft packing package or type "T-shirt", bite the tips to the end and pull on yourself. If the blade is well sharpened, then you will not even feel the blades will rock the package. If the sharpening is bad or on the tips there is a deformation (burr, bad blades are docked), the package will be wounded or the tips will cut a piece of package. "

4 ordinary advice, how to choose good manicure tweezers.
Tip No. 1.
Check the smoothness and ease of manicure tongs. They must have a very easy move, but not be bitten. If the tweezers are slightly tugged, you should not hope that you can develop them yourself. Of course, if you take a tool for home use, it is not so important. But if you are a manicure master, then by the end of the working day, the hands are very tired. If the tweezers hang out, it is also not very good. Choose tweezers from which the handle does not fall under their own weight.
Tip number 2.
Check the gap on the lumen. It is necessary to pay attention not so much on the size of the gap, as on the push force on the handle, at which the lumen disappears. The canvas should be closed, ranging from the tips to the heel. The force must be made, as a rule, somewhat less than the force of compressing the removal springs. Therefore, you need to check without springs. Take the twinkers of the twigs so that they do not interfere.
Tip number 3.
Check the cutting edge offset. It must be done when compressing the handles and without load. In the closed state, but without push, as if scratching the finite of the cutting edges. Wherein
In one direction, the nail will be unhindered to slip from the pads of the twigs, and in the other direction you will feel the edge, for which the nail clinging is slightly cling. It is allowed when the canvas performs almost imperceptibly or does not perform at all. Of course, it is assumed that the height of the canvas should be strictly the same.
And it is difficult to disagree with it. After all, the protruding canvas interferes with working. Does not cut off the thin, shallow skin layer. However, in practice it may be a bad sign. As a rule, the blades are on the same level and do not protrude when the nagging, if the tweezers are either tight, or the cutting edges overlap the cross. Both options are not the best option. Therefore, hardly catchy with the help of the nail, the selection of one cutting edge of manicure tweezers will be the best option.
Tip number 4.
Check the pen sharpening. There are good manicure tweezers, but badly sharpened. There is no reason to buy. They will have to shut immediately. If, of course, you know where it is good for manicure tweezers.
But there are not very good manicure tweeters, but relatively well sharpened! Such tweems will need to drag every two or three days or a week if you are a master, and every month if you use at home.
Accurate sharpening
How to understand that the tools should be sharpened? "It's simple: when the scissors ceased to cut, and began to eat the cuticle or climb the nail," Irina Astakhova advises. - In this case, for a start, tighten the screw in the joint, if in your tool it is a screw, and not a rivet. And if it does not change the position, it's time to visit the wizards. The same with the impositions, the cuticle needs to be cut off, and not tear off, hooking the cloth of the bustard.
But when it is time to change the tool, you will rather tell the master.
• When the joint scissors with a rivet is no longer possible to bother.
• When the bustard does not have the reserve of the blade for sharpening.
• When steel from improper handling with sterilizers has come into disrepair and no sense to sharpen the tool, because after a couple of days it will again be stupid.
Is it always a manual sharpening tools - is it a guarantee of their quality? No, no matter how magnificent sharpening when buying a tool, its durability will depend on steel, from which the tool is made. But you can say with confidence that the hand sharpening is the best. Find the wizard who correctly shakes your tool - the task is not simple. It is better to turn to Zewana masters - they have already more than 10 years of work experience - or consult with manicure masters who sharpen them. But it is definitely impossible to carry a tool into a metalmont - no matter how they assure that it is good. "
Sharpening types
Mechanical, it is manual (with diamond circle or vibration plates), which remains the best today.
Laser. On laser equipment, it is more convenient to work and easier, but the wear of the cutting tool increases. The laser beam removes a significant metal thickness from the cutting part of the tool.
Self-folding tool. Such a tool can hold sharpening a little longer than others due to the different hardness of the cutting edge and the inner plane of scissors, but not forever. It must be sharpened, like any other tool.
Life time
How long will the quality tools last you? "In fact, no one will ever say any specific exploitation of operation," says Irina Astakhova. - At least honestly. "
How long to serve you tools depends on many factors:
Steel from which the tool is made. The most chassis and scissors - with the addition of cobalt.
Unfortunately, now very often come across fakes. The manufacturer declares that cobalt is present in the composition, and it is impossible to check this visually, but the sharpening process refutes his words. When you start to sharpen, you see that the tool is too easy to steal - therefore, it will not last sharp short. The harder metal, the less you need to sharpen it. However, the carbon content indicator is important in steel. This chemical element makes it solid, but with a high content also fragile. If the nipples of steel with too high in carbon will fall on the tiled floor, then the nose will necessarily interfere. Steel with the addition of cobalt is less saturated with carbon, therefore, when the plumbings fall, the nose does not dig up, but bends - the sharpening master can straighten it, and then sharpened. The highest quality tools are obtained from high-alloyed and aviation steel, as well as kalena steel, but the price of such a tool increases at times.
Careful appeal. Often we are faced with the consequences of rough operation. Locking and scissors have subtle tips, which are deformed with non-accurate shocking into a manicure tool sterilizer. They often hide the walls of the sterilizer, thrown into a bunch of tools, stick into the ball sterilizer ... The tools get damage during transportation, because the wizard forgot to wear caps. Zewana always provides its tool with silicone or rubber caps. Without them, thin edges of tools are deformed in bags.
Use of tools is not intended. For example, the husband took manicure nippers cut the nails on the legs or to bite the wiring. And the Pusher - in order to twist something. Often you can hear stories about how the master I was released, and on my return I discovered a spoiled tool: the client took the nippers and cut off without a burr, and nail. As a result, the master carries them into the sharpening of manicure bodies. Bands for the cuticle can not be cut off the nails, because they are harder cuticles. And thin scissors for the cuticle can not only cut the nail, but also woolen threads.
Sterilizers. Another problem is Alaminol. If you violate the rules listed in the instructions, for example, put in alamineol tool longer than 15 minutes or forget overnight, then metal corrosion occurs - it rusts and is covered with a raid. To correct the consequences, the blade has to cut a lot - it becomes shorter, as is the service life. Usually the wizard can diverting plugs 10-20 times before replacing new ones. And if they are regularly redistered in alamineol, they will be taken out, for example, only five sharpeners. In a word, a solution for disinfection, like a sterilizer of tools for a manicure, can become a source of defects with inaccier use.
Spring (fastening of bustard). Unfortunately, answer the question why some nippers served 10 years old, and others have flown a spring after a month, we still can't. Here as lucky. Naturally, it is necessary to check that initially there was no defect - cracks, even a hint of a crack, and chip.
In any case, you need to competently care for the tools to extend their service life. "
This will help The following rules:
• One should never be sharpened tool on your own, using sweater;
• Casting a tool for manicure should be at a timely manner of the experimental inscription;
• use the tool only by destination;
• Do not keep the tool in the bathroom or other room with high humidity;
• Do not boil the tool at home, it is better to contact the beauty salon;
• Do not knock out the skin, nails, hair from the tool on the table or comb, you should use the fabric;
• Hold a tool in protective cases or covers. Do not allow contact tools among themselves, as it is tupit cutting edges;
• In the hairdressing scissors there should be a working tension of the canvas, the canvas should not hang out when closed. Barling leads to premature rolling of cutting edges;
• after each use to wipe the tool dry;
• Do not abuse disinfectant apparatus and solutions: This can lead to premature dumping cutting elements;
• No less often, once a month, lubricate with oil (it is better to use oil for sewing machines) whiskers of scissors and bodies.
