And the main advantage is that in this formcare does not apply tweezers and scissors, which in the classic manicure cleanses the hangnails and cuticles. All you need from the tools is a nail file. But their assortment is huge, and it is necessary to be able to choose correctly.
How to choose a nail file?
Some prefer diamond sawscrumb, others prefer glass, and someone uses disposable paper files. Films differ in quality of execution, price, external design. Let's try to figure out what to make of and how they differ.
The first difference of correcting nail files indegree of hardness of the coating. Usually, nail files with a softer cloth are used for accrued nails, and for natural nails the degree of rigidity should be higher. The degree of rigidity has its own unit of measurement, called grit. The highest rigidity is the file used for polishing nails. Manicure files are made of different materials and using a variety of spraying.
Paper or cardboard nail files are most oftenone-off. As a spray, crumb of granite or quartz is used. The basis of such a nail file is multi-layer paper or cardboard. There are also reusable files, and their service life is low. Paper files are soft enough and are used for children's manicure or correction of artificial nails.
Manicure files from plastic are cheap enough. They are comfortable and soft. They are made of plastic with a Teflon coating. Plastic nail files are better for women who have soft nail plates.
Metal nail files are very populardue to their strength and durability. They have a rather coarse coating using diamond chips or cut grooves. Due to the high degree of the grit, they can damage the nail plate. Continuous use of a metal file can lead to the fact that the nail begins to exfoliate. This file can handle extended nails. To save the nails, it is better to abandon the usual metal file.
Glass files began to be used to care fornails not long ago. And she has already gained popularity with women. A glass file gently processes the nail plastic, does not harm it, it is easy to handle. The lack of a glass file is only in the fact that glass is glass and it easily breaks. Awkward movement, careless gesture, and, falling out of his hands, the glass file will break. And its cost is considerable, the minimum price is 200 rubles.
One of the latest innovations in the manicure service -ceramic nail files. They are ideal for weak nail plates. They qualitatively polish the nail, aligning it and giving the desired shape. The downside, like the glass nail file, is a large proportion of the likelihood of quick breakage due to the fragility of the material. Although with proper handling ceramic file will last a long time. The price of such a product for the treatment of nails from three hundred rubles.
And the latest development of specialistscosmetology - laser nail file. It is designed not only to adjust the nails, but also to handle the cuticle. The form of the canvas, made in the form of honeycombs, filled with soft diamond grit, easily slides, gently removes the cuticle, removes coarse skin, gently polishes the nail plate. The cost of the file varies from 150 to 700 rubles.
Forms of manicure files can be the mostvaried. For example, traditional straight lines are used for both manicure and pedicure. They can be made of any material. Block files or buffs may have different spraying, because they are used for different degrees of treatment of the nail and cuticle.
The file, made in the form of a boomerang, is veryConvenient for manicure at home. Its owner will be comfortable using the tool of this form. Nail files in the form of hearts, bunnies, flowers are produced for children and teenagers, because their main purpose is to carefully polish the nail plate.
There are sawing, made rhombus or square. These tools are used by professionals. Files of this form clean and accurately handle the nail.
What kind of nail file to choose, each woman decides for herself, focusing on the features of the nail plate, the scope of application and, of course, prices.
