Description of common nail art tools and how they are used

The use of tools for nail art involves several steps and different tools, below is a detailed description of common nail art tools and how they are used:

1. Nail clippers

Classification: Nail clippers come in small and large sizes, and in terms of the shape of the front end, there are two types: flat and beveled.

How to use: After washing your hands, cut your nails to the desired length with flat nail clippers. If the nail grooves on both sides of the nail are too deep and long towards the nail grooves, cut off both sides of the nail with beveled nails.

Note: Do not cut the nails too deeply to avoid shortening the nail bed and affecting the beauty of the nails.

2. Nail files

Classification: Nail files are divided into steel files and colored files (flower files).

How to use: Cut the length of the nails with a steel file or flower file in the order of the first two sides and then the front end of the trimming, trimming into the desired shape.

Note: When resharpening, take care that the sides of the nail are finely trimmed and the front end is rounded in shape.

3. Foamer bowl

How to use: Pour the soaking liquid or warm water into the soaking bowl, soak your left hand first and then switch to your right hand after five minutes. This cleanses the nails and loosens the finger skin.

Note: No cool or too hot water should be put into the soaking bowl.

4. Finger skin softener

Features: Finger Skin Softener is a milky white liquid that accelerates softening.

How to use: Dry soaked hands with a towel and apply the softener evenly on the nail surface.

Caution: Do not apply softener to the nail cap to prevent it from being softened.

5. Dead skin tools (e.g. dead skin stick, dead skin pliers, dead skin fork)

Dead Skin Stick (Push Skin Stick)

Classification: Divided into wooden push rods, steel push rods and push leather sanding rods.

How to use: Use the oval flat side of the head to push the aged cuticles on the fingers towards the palm of the hand, and then use the spatula on the other end to scrape away any remaining cuticles on the nails.

Note: Push the finger skin should be moderate force, not too hard, so as not to damage the methyl.

Dead skin pliers:

How to use: Use the dead skin pliers to cut off the dead skin and flesh spines just after pushing, so that the fingers look beautiful and neat.

Note: When using the dead skin pliers should be careful not to pull, should be cut directly to avoid damage to the finger skin, and not cut too deep.

Dead skin fork:

How to use: Dead Skin Fork is used for dead skin on both sides of the nail, trimming the fork in the direction of the fingertip in turn.

6. Nail massage oil

Classification: Nail massage oil, also known as nutrient oil or nail edge oil, can be classified according to its ingredients into those containing almond ingredients, those containing vitamin A and those containing vitamin E and other nutrients.

How to use: Apply a small amount of the massage oil around the skin of the fingers of the manicured hands and massage slightly with the fingers.

Effects: Moisturizes the skin of the fingers, prevents the growth of thorns around the fingers, softens the skin, and protects the nails from becoming healthy and shiny.

7. Polishing files/bars

Usage: Generally polishes in a specific order of application (e.g. black, white, gray). The black side throws away the cuticles on the surface of the nail, the white side throws the surface of the nail finer, and the gray side shines the surface.

Note: Always polish in one direction, never back and forth.

8. Other tools

Crystal pliers: only used when doing crystal nails, can not be replaced by finger skin pliers, otherwise it is easy to cause crystal nails to break.

Plastic or bristle brush: for cleaning nails and crystal nails during hand treatments.

Sanding Stick: for pushing the skin of the fingers, also used to remove bumps on natural nails and stains on the skin.

Scissors: Used to cut fiber products such as nylon, silk and fiberglass nails.

Small tweezers : Used to hold nail chips, diamonds, or to hold nail skin for trimming.

Sterilization and maintenance

Since nail tools are not disposable, they must be sterilized before each use to ensure sanitation and safety. Tools should be sized so that they can fit into a container of sterilizing solution. After sterilization, tools should be stored properly to avoid contamination.

In conclusion, the use of manicure tools requires care and patience, following the right steps and methods to create beautiful, healthy nails.

Nail buildup is an important nail art technique that is performed by applying specific treatments to the nails to make the surface flat, hard, and perfectly curved. The following is the detailed science of nail building:

1. Definition of Nail Build-Up

Nail build-up, which can also be referred to as filling in the high points of the pile, refers to the use of materials such as high-hardness extension adhesive, reinforcing adhesive or primer to pile up a side parabolic arc on the surface of the nails, so that the surface of the nails become flat and hard. This technique is mainly for people with soft, upturned, uneven or problematic nails, through the construction can visually adjust the nail shape, while enhancing the hardness and durability of the nails.

Second, the significance of nail construction

Make the nail surface flat: through the construction, you can make the original uneven nail surface become smooth and flat, providing a smooth canvas for the subsequent nail decoration and pattern drawing.

Enhance nail hardness: reinforces nails, prevents them from breaking and peeling, and prolongs the durability of the manicure.

Modify nail defects: skillfully cover up nail defects, such as flatness, indentation, upward curvature, downward hook, etc. to make nails look more perfect.

Protecting the nail: For people who often do nail art, the build-up can protect the nail from over-polishing and avoid thinning or damage to the nail.

Classification of nail art construction

Nail construction is generally divided into pre-construction and post-construction:

Pre-construction: mainly focus on dealing with the problems of the nail itself, such as thin and soft nail surface, uneven, upward and downward hooks. Pre-construction is done before applying the nail plate to ensure a tight fit between the plate and the nail, so that the nail will not buckle easily.

Post-construction: This is to "fix" any problems that occur during the manicure process, such as uneven application of color gel, thicker styles that need to be covered, etc. After the construction can ensure that the final effect of the perfect presentation, so that the nail more exquisite.

Steps of nail art construction

The steps of nail construction may vary depending on the habits of the nail technician and the materials used, but they can be roughly summarized in the following steps:

Preparation: clean the surface of the nail, remove grease and impurities, ready for the subsequent construction work.

Base Gel Treatment: Apply base gel and light cure to provide a stable base for the build.

Build-Up: Use the build-up adhesive to build up the desired curves on the nail surface. This step requires the nail technician's skill and experience to ensure that the build-up is natural and customized to the individual's needs.

Shape Adjustment: Use a stylus or other tool to adjust the shape of the constructed nail to make it perfect.

Curing: Cure the constructed nails with light to make them more durable.

1. Precautions

When building up your nails, you should choose the materials and tools that are suitable for your nail condition.

Follow the correct operation steps and techniques to ensure the best presentation of the construction effect.

Pay attention to protect your nails from damage and avoid over-polishing and excessive use of chemical products.

In conclusion, nail building is an important and practical nail art technique for perfect and durable nails. By understanding and mastering this technique, we can better protect our nails and enjoy the fun of nail art.
