If you don’t have the time or desire to bother with gel polish or visit a salon, try the Japanese method – polishing your nails. IA EAOMedia will tell you more about the “cool” method.
For the procedure you need an orange stick, manicure scissors, a soft file or buff, as well as nail oil or wax.
Here's what to do:
First, treat the nail from the cuticle: lift it with an orange stick and carefully cut it so that there are no burrs left.
Then take a soft file and go over the entire surface of each nail until a natural shine appears.
To make the result even better, apply 1 drop of oil and rub into the nail plate. And for a glossy effect, proceed in 2 stages: first rub in the wax, and then the oil.
Additional lifehacks:
- Movements should be smooth and in one direction.
- Don't put too much pressure on the nail.
- It is better to polish your nails in the direction of their growth.
“For polishing, choose files from 400 to 1200 grit. Do not use files made of metal for polishing,” said experts in the Zen blog “Beauty School “INTERIMAGE” (18+).
Important: despite the fact that the procedure is safe, there are contraindications:
- nails that are too thin, brittle or peeling;
- chronic diseases and infections;
- recovery period after injuries.
