Types of Manicures With Tips
Hands have become the center of beauty trends these days, and manicures provide the ideal opportunity to experiment without making long-term commitments to full looks.
However, not all manicures are the same; each can vary in terms of how it’s applied, how long it lasts and how easily it can be removed.
Basic Manicure
A basic manicure is a classic nail care look using traditional nail polish. While this type of manicure tends to chip more quickly than others, it remains an ideal way to quickly care for your nails in an efficient and effortless fashion.
At this treatment, a nail technician will trim, clean, and shape the client’s nails before applying a base coat. Next, two layers of color will be painted on them before finishing them off with glitter or other decorative elements for an added splash of flair.
Manicures are an excellent way to relax and improve the confidence in your appearance, while helping prevent nail issues such as ingrown nails or fungal infections. Plus, manicures often include relaxing massages of hands and feet which help relieve stress. Furthermore, increased blood circulation in hands and fingers has numerous health benefits that benefit skin condition and overall body wellness.
Vinylux Manicure
Vinylux manicure is a long-wear polish designed to last up to 7 days without needing base coat. Apply it like regular nail polish but take note of ProLight technology’s LED light curing ability that ensures longer wear time. Plus, there are over 100 fashionable colors to match your weekly style!
This polish contains strengthening keratin, vitamin E, and jojoba oil to strengthen nails while being free from formaldehyde, toluene DBP camphor xylene.
No matter if you’re running around in heels or need to freshen up for your nine to five job, professional nail treatments can do wonders for both your self-confidence and overall wellbeing. Professional manicures not only make your hands look fabulous; they protect them from dirt, grime, buildup of dead skin cells, dry cuticles and ageing signs as well. Plus they have added health benefits: manicures can even reduce bacteria on fingertips to help avoid colds or allergies!
Gel Manicure
A gel manicure offers up to three weeks of chip-free color. The process starts with applying a base coat that ensures optimal adhesion, followed by application and curing under UV light of each coat of polish applied – repeating this cycle each time for maximum color longevity.
Gel nails offer the benefit of long-term manicures without chipping over time – ideal for busy schedules! Curing gel nail systems also helps strengthen natural nails which may otherwise break easily; their hard shell helps protect from breakage between manicures.
One drawback of getting a gel manicure is its exposure to UV rays used in curing process, which could contribute to early skin aging or cancer development. Therefore, it is highly advised that sunscreen be worn and that you limit how often you get one per month.
Acrylic Manicure
Acrylic nails are a popular choice among those seeking to lengthen and shape their natural nails, adding length and shape. You can opt for something subtle such as an ombre look or go bolder with glitter accents; there is something out there to suit every personality!
Starting an acrylic manicure involves trimming and buffing nails before adhering a plastic tip with nail glue to extend their length. A base coat is then applied, followed by curing under UV light.
If you are considering an acrylic manicure, make sure that the salon and nail technician follows appropriate hygiene practices such as sterilizing tools between clients. Be mindful that acrylics may be difficult to remove without damaging natural nails; improper application by an inexperienced nail technician could make them appear bulky.
