How To Give A Basic Salon Perfect Manicure?

Video Transcript:

So today I’m going to show you how to do a basic manicure treatment this map before you to do on clients or on yourself at home I’m going to use a selection of products including the skin truth products which are available from salon services which is a warehouse for hair and beauty industry if you working on clients it’s important to make sure that you sanitize the hands before you start so I’m going to spray both the hands and arms and use a piece of cotton wool to wipe over if you’re working on yourself at home just make sure you’ve washed your hands before used up next you go in to file the nails of one hand using a fine emery board that’s not too rough for the natural nails when you file in nails it’s important to start in one direction to the center and from the other direction to the center this is to avoid the nail spy thing so I’m using the full length of the nail files to file the nails going from the side to the center and the opposite side to the center if you do file back and forth in a soaring action this will cause the nails to split if there was a lot of length on the nail that you wanted to remove you would clip the nail before you start you can also bevel the nails this is when you may get some excess bits of nail along the edges and you file downwards with your nail file to remove any excess the next step is to apply cuticle cream to the cuticles to help soften the cuticles before you put them in the handball to soak so for this I’m going to use the skin truth cuticle cream I’m going to use an orange wood stick to remove some cuticle cream and I’m going to dot a little bit along the cuticles on every finger and then go into massage the cuticle cream into the cuticles applying a firm pressure then go to use a nail bowl that’s been filled up with warm water and a little bit of hand soap and plays the clients hand into the hand wall or if you’re doing this on yourself just use a small bowl at home and allow the hand to soak for a couple of minutes in the bowl if you’re working on somebody else whilst that soaking you can then start to perform the same movements on the other hand by the time you’ve repeated that process on that hand the first hand will be ready to come out of the water and we’re going to swap over with that first hand you drained off the fingertips and also massaging the cuticle cream in to reinforce that so we’ve removed that first hand from the humble thoroughly dried it off and reinforced the pushing back the cuticle movement now I’m going to push back the cuticles using an orange wood stick wrapped in cotton wool the reason for this is because if we use the orange wood stick just like this it’s too harsh and you could at cause pain to your client or to yourself by opening up a custom wall pad and twisting it into the cotton wall like candy floss this custom wall will just provide a bit more protection for the clients fingertips or for your own fingertips so using the orange wood stick we’re now going to gently push back the cuticles by pushing back the cuticles this will enable you the finished product to look better and you polish application to be more easy okay so you’ll find that the nail plate appears a little bit longer by pushing the cuticles back effectively now what you would use is the cuticle nippers to tidy any excess cuticle you have to be very careful with these nippers to avoid nipping yourself or a client’s only remove any excess cuticle if there is any present Emily has got very neat cuticle so I’m just going to double check if there’s anything that needs removing very carefully just removing any of that excess cuticle again this will just make your polish look much better the other thing you’re looking for to remove with these cuticle nippers is those bits of skin that may stick off at the side of the nail they’re called hang nails and you can nip those okay and that’s that bit complete if you are using metal tools like this on clients it’s important that you do a dare to hygiene procedures and all metal tools would have been sterilized in something like an autoclave before you start to maintain the cleanliness and hygiene keep them in a disinfecting fluid such as barbicide if you work it on yourself and it’s just your own tools then that’s much better then you’re going to remove the second hand and again dry the fingertips thoroughly and massage the cuticles whilst you do in cell so we’ve repeated the process from the first hand on the second hand so so far we’ve cleansed both hands we’ve failed both hands applied cuticle cream push the cuticles back and removed any excess cuticle now we’re on to hand and arm massage this is nice for you to be able to perform on yourself at home or on your partner or friends and family it’s nice to know some basic massage movements I’m going to use the skin truth noticing nourishing hand lotion for this I’m going to show you some basic massage movements so massage the cream into your own hands to start to warm it up make sure the clients arm and elbow is supported the client shouldn’t be having to hold her hand up herself you should be supporting it and she should be fully relaxed okay the first movement you do and start with it’s called a flourish and this is a stroking movement used in all types of massage whether you’re on the back the had everything starts with an a flourish movement a stroke a movement you’re going to repeat this about six times and then the next movement you’re going to do is called petrissage which is a kneading movement I’m doing small circular movements with my thumbs up the forearm and when I got to the elbow I’m just going to drag back down and I’m going to do that again 3 times working up the arm okay then we’re going to do the same movement some circles around the wrist bones work onto the hand again thumb circles which is a petrissage movement working all the way over the hand apply a good pressure for this to be effective and these kind of movements are increasing the blood circulation which in turn and encourages new cell renewal then going to come under the fingers and fingers and thumbs thumb circles working up and down turn hand over and again massage in the palm of the hand using thumb circles all over the palm of the hand and I’m going to hold each finger and these are called passive movements and I’m rotating the finger and thumbs one three times one way and three times the other way this kind of movement helps joint mobility good for clients or friends and family that may have arthritic or joint problems again you should be doing the work for the client the client should be fully relaxed I’m going to put the hand on to the elbow hold the hand I’m going to do three circles clockwise and three circles anti-clockwise again this is helping joint mobility and I’m going to finish with the starting movement which was effleurage and this is a stroking movement and I’m going to do it six times just ensuring all that hand lotion is fully absorbed so you would then repeat those massage movements on the other hand and arm then you’re ready for polishing before you polish the nails it’s important that you remove any grease or from the creams and oils that you’ve used as part of the manicure so to do that you’d use nail varnish remover and cotton ball just to squeak over all of the nails in my manicures I always use limp free wipes this is because cotton ball can be quite fluffy and it can be left on the nail and then show up as part of a polish so the lint-free wipes make sure that nothing left on the surface at the nail I always use an acetone free nail polish when you’re working on the natural nails to ensure less damage the nails so just go over each nail give it a good rub on top and underneath of the nail to make sure nothing’s on there that will affect the polish okay before you start to put your polish on it’s important that you use a base coat the base coat that I like to use is called sash Clare this works alongside sash veep’s which is the top coat and Seche clear is a base coat the reason you use a base coat is to prevent any staining to the nail from polishes particularly if you use in a red nail polish or a dark polish this can cause staining to the nail plate so with your base coat try and keep with any polish try and keep the bottle in your hand if you’re keeping it away from the hand it means you’re going back and forth and then you can drip on your working area so keep the bottle in your hand and you’re going to support the finger with your thumb and fingers okay support the finger of your little finger and apply base coat so that all of the nail plate repeat this on all five nails so the Polish I’m going to use today is a China Glaze Cola code China Rouge we use China Glaze polishes in the salon because we feel it quite easy to paint with the reason I’ve chosen a red to paint with today is because if you can learn to polish with a red or a dark color then you can learn to polish with any color because this will show up any imperfections while she practices them we’re going to leave the bottle to one side for there so you can see the application so I dip my brush into the polish wipe one side completely and halfway down on the other side I found that this is about the right amount to cover the nail the first coat that you do is purely a guide to cover the nail so I’m going to place them and pop my brush into the middle of the nail plate and I’m going to push down towards the cuticle this is to try and ensure a nice smile line and then pull back you don’t want to go too close to the cuticle because you want to avoid flooding the cuticle so that it looks nice and neat and you’re trying to apply in three coats when you’ve done the whole the nail plate cap the free edge this is the prevent against chipping so again I’m going in the middle of the nail plate and pushing down towards the cuticle you want a hairline gap between the polish and the cuticle don’t worry too much if you got any nail polish around the skin of the nail that can be removed so place your brush in the center of the nail plate push down towards the cuticle and pull back so a good polish application should have a hairline gap between the polish and the cuticle at the end a nice smile line and it should be smooth without any bubbles you always do two coats of any cough polish so they actually first coat on the first hand you would then move over to the second hand and apply the first coat on that hand so I’m now going to apply the second coat of polish this is to ensure that get the coverage that r1 and ensure that the final look is slick so I’ve just finished the second coat on all ten fingers I’m now going to finish with the top coat which is called sash beat top coat I like this top coat because it’s very good at evening hour any little imperfections that you may have and it’s also quite fast drying the topcoat is also very good at providing a high shine finish ensure that you cover everywhere that you’ve polished at the end of the manicure when you finish your polish if you find that there’s any polish around the nail on the skin and you need to need some this off then the little tip is to apply cotton wool wrap around the end of an orange wood stick and dip it into nail varnish remover you can then use this as an eraser to get rid of any little bits of nail polish so just gently work around the nail on the skin the might be look at the bits under the free edge and that will lift off for you and ensure that your lock is complete at the end of the manicure now we would just apply top coat to the second hand and that is your varnish application complete.

Does the manicure work on your nails even without using glue?

Yes, with the SuperHold technology, the manicure works still the same on your nails even without the glue. The top layer holds the artificial nails and the lower layer holds your natural nails and this is done by the adhesive on both the layers. This adhesive nature allows the manicure to stay fit on your natural as well as artificial nails perfectly even without applying the glue.

What to do, if the nails are not set right on your hands?

How to do basic manicure at home?

Video Transcript:

Since I usually get questions about how to just do a basic manicure not using any efile or fancy tools this is my version of that in my last pedicure video you guys probably remember me saying that I was really tired of my cuticle pusher so I decided to just chuck it and have ever placed it yet so I’m just using my thumbnail to push my cuticles back however I first sprayed on the Ord mineral peel which you guys know is my all-time favorite not actual cuticle softener but perfect cuticle softener and if you don’t have it you can just soak your nails in water for about three to five minutes and then we’re gonna get to cutting and next I’m gonna grab my cuticle nippers because I like the area around my nails to be very clean and obviously this is a personal choice you don’t have to do any of this if you don’t want to if you guys want to know how I actually use cuticle nippers as in how do I know what to cut and what not to cut but I actually already have a video on that that will be much more helpful and goes into a little bit more detail as to what I’m actually looking at so I’ll link that down below in the description box and also you can click the card in the right-hand corner of the screen and I do want to preface this by saying that I know that some people are opposed to doing this type of work because some people think that it causes harm and if you are one of the people who are curious as to why I do it to sum it up we all have our personal routines that we do for maintenance for me this is one of them if there was any other part of my body that had dead skin that needed to be exfoliated I would have no hesitation in doing that nor would anyone have any objection to me doing so because they may not want to see me walking around with flakes on my face or body whenever you take a bath or a shower and the epidermis fills with water any skin that is ready to be exfoliated lifts on its own as you guys can see I’m not only cutting my cuticles I’m also cutting the keratinized or hardened skin surrounding my nail so noting that I am cutting is live tissue if it were I would be bleeding my understanding from the experience that I do have with the tools that I use is that the anatomy doesn’t stop beyond what it is that we can see meaning just because I push my cuticle back doesn’t mean that I am removing it just because I’ve reached what I think is the top of my nail doesn’t mean that that’s where it actually stops your nail goes further into your finger than you think it does so after I’m done cutting I’ll usually spray a little bit more of the mineral peel just to kind of check my work almost so basically moisturizing the skin with some type of liquid he’s gonna allow me to see any areas that I might have missed and then also using my cuticle nippers which you should never do I’m actually just trimming my nail because I couldn’t find any clippers to save my life so again I don’t recommend doing this because if you want your cuticle nippers to remain sharp you need to only use them for that purpose and nothing else and today I’m just going for a short kind of oval so instead of just cutting them straight across I also like to clip the corners on like kind of a 45 degree angle because this will eliminate some of the work when I’m actually going to file them into the final shape and this is my very old diamond cell like many so I’m thinking about getting a few more in different grid sizes and also some more files for my feet and since I’m using a coarser grit file also I just finished up with a sponge file this is I think like a 180 220 but just to make sure that my free edge is nice and smooth and then lastly I just remove any polish that’s on my nails because I find that having on something even if it’s just a clear coat is better than filing them when they are completely naked because the c-curve is being reinforced which can affect the shape so when I file I definitely want the c-curve to be there and for it to not be flat so now my nails are prepped and ready to be done so if you guys want to see that process I was thinking about maybe filling like a gel manicure since I haven’t done my nails since like January when I did the Ivy Park nails so if you guys want to see it just leave this emoji in the comment section but quick update if any of you have messaged me recently on Instagram and actually don’t have access to my phone right now it just started acting up on Saturday so I’m not sure how soon I’ll be able to address it with everything that’s going on right now so if you need to reach me feel free to leave a comment down below because I will definitely be responding to my youtube videos by the way I hope that everyone is doing well please continue to stay safe wash your hands and I’ll see you guys in the next one you.
