First of all, let's talk about the nail order: pretreatment (dealing with dead skin)-polishing the nail surface-priming-construction-coloring/modeling-hole sealing. Let's recommend the corresponding tools in this order.
Pretreatment (treatment of dead skin)
Dead skin scissors
Steel push
softener
Clean water
cotton
Dead skin scissors, steel push pretreatment liquid/softener cleaning water, cotton pretreatment is to push the rubber skin on the nail surface and cut off the dead skin, so that you can have a good-looking nail rear edge, and the clean nail surface without dead skin adhesion will be more obedient!
Polishing nail surface
rubber strip
Dust brush
After the pretreatment of sand strip, sponge strip and nail rubbing dust brush, you can trim your nails! Here, we need to repair the nail shape with this nail polish first, and then polish the nail surface with abrasive belt, so as to better coat the nail surface with primer and increase the firmness. After grinding, we need to clean up the dust and polish the lower surface of the nail with a sponge strip to make the nail surface smooth.
Primer coating
primer
Fiona Fang head/round pen
Pen washing water
Phototherapy lamp
Priming round-headed pen, pen washing water/pen washing gel phototherapy machine (required in every subsequent step) This step is very simple. In the last step before painting, the primer is used to bond the subsequent color glue, otherwise the subsequent color glue will be unstable! There are bottled primer and canned primer on the market. If you choose canned primer, you need to paint the nail surface with a round-headed pen ~ remember that every step of gluing needs to be dried in front of the lamp.
Architecture (Advanced)
Phototherapy pen
Building glue
The steps of constructing glue/phototherapy glue with phototherapy pen (Fiona Fang head/square head) are aimed at advanced players, which can make the radian of nail surface look better, especially improve the fan-shaped nail and flat nail. The constructed nail surface will be smoother and the color glue will appear more textured in the subsequent coloring (refer to Little Red Book for the specific construction tutorial). Of course, it's no problem for novice Xiaobai not to construct, and it doesn't affect the subsequent style ~
Color/style
Manicure pen
Nail polish glue, jewelry
Fiona Fang nail polish pen, drawing pen, sweeping pen, drawing pen, beading pen, French pen ornaments, tweezers and magnets (cat's eyes) all need to use colored glue. It is recommended to choose several bottles of solid color, several bottles of transparent color, several bottles of gold and silver sequin glue and several bottles of cat's eye glue, which can meet most nail styles. Besides these, you can also buy some nail stickers, spar and nails.
Sealing coating
Wash-free sealing coating
Frosted seal coat
As the last step of nail art, matte seal can make nail polish more shiny and prevent the nail surface from being scratched. If you like a matte surface, you can use a matte seal. If you like shiny surfaces, you can choose a disposable seal.
These are the basic tools for nail art at home. The rest is practice and practice. Practice makes perfect. I wish you all freedom in manicure!
