If someone suddenly someone does not load the picture, here is its content.

Abrasiveness - This is the stiffness of the sawmill, which is measured in special units - glitters. The smaller the abrasiveness, the harder the sawing. The greater abrasiveness, the sategorically the sawo.

Materials from which the Pilks are made:

  • Glass. Well suited for natural nails, but often break.
  • Metal. Durable and practical. Not recommended for use, because lead to the bundle of nails.
  • With emery crumb. Pilking are convenient and suitable for any nails. Break them difficult.

Stiffness of nail shelters

80 grit - hard. To give the length and shape with artificial nails.
150 grit - average. For the final processing of artificial nails.
240 grit - soft. For giving length and shape with natural nails
400 grit - grinding. Removing the gloss and removal of irregularities from the surface of the nails
900 grit - polisher. To give a mirror glitter nails

Forms for nails

Oval - For the correction of a form of a natural or artificial nail.
Boomerang - For rounded nail shapes and mocked artificial cuticles.
Rectangular - to form lengths and giving shape with artificial nails.
Rhombovoid- are considered the most convenient for creating a form of extensive nails.

In the cosmetics of each weaker sex representative there is a metal or ceramic nail file that helps maintain a flawless view of the manicure. Not all women attach the meaning of such a cosmetic affiliation, and some are at all buying the first model that happened. Material of manufacturing and abrasiveness of nail pylons - important indicators, since the durability of the manicure, the service life of the accessory is determined.

  5. Figurines. Such peckings are more often used by progressive teenagers, have the shape of a butterfly, a bottle of "Coca-Cola", telephone.

Abrasiveness

In this case, we are talking about the rigidity of a particular saw, which is measured in special units called the Grit. This is the ratio of the total number of abrasive particles on a certain area of \u200b\u200bthe area. Therefore, one pinks are hard when contacting the nail, others, on the contrary, are soft. According to this criterion, such a classification (grit) is provided:

  1. 60-80. The rigid base that is used only to change the length of artificial nails from the gel and acrylic.
  2. 100-150. The base is also characterized by increased rigidity, designed to focus the surface of the extensive nails.
  3. 150-240. An embodiment of medium abrasiveness, but it is also desirable to use it when working with artificial nail plates.
  4. 240. This is a compromise version, ideally suitable for all structures of natural nails.

Due to the wide variety of types of pylons, you can choose the appropriate option for home care for natural or artificial nails for delicate processing of weakened nail plates, for grinding and polishing the nail surface, to give the desired shape to the free edge.

By the way, in one time the metal sawture is not at all suitable for processing natural nails, since the procedure may appear bundles, cracks on the nail plate, the nail structure is destroyed.

Choosing nail files, it is important to take into account the degree of rigidity (abrasiveness) of each manicure tool. For example, for the processing of natural nails, choose a stroke with abrasiveness from 190 to 300 grits, and for the correction of artificial nails (and especially scorched gel), the manicures of the abrasiveness of 90 to 180 grit are suitable.

The rigidity of manicure saws is measured in glitters. The more the grit is designated on the saw, the more gentle and softer it affects the surface of the nail plate. If the beer is indicated, for example, 140/180 grit, then this means that different working surfaces of the tool have different stiffness.

It is worth choosing a nail pylon not only in color and size only because it is beautiful and suitable for the color of your handbag, and it is worth choosing a pylon and according to its technical data, for example, on the abrasion of the peel, its form and material from which It is made. Even better, if you choose the pylon, an experienced specialist in the field of manicure and pedicure will help you, but if there is no opportunity to take a knowledgeable person with you to the store, then armed with the knowledge you receive, reading our instructions below, you can make the right choice of the nail.


Select the nail pylon in the form

Choose an oval pink:With the help of an oval millet, it is very convenient to give a different shape of a nail, shorten or align it.

Choose a drink boomerang: This pylon is worth choosing only when you need to remove lacquer or acrylic in the Cuticle area. We recommend reading

Choose a rectangular pylon:The main purpose of this pink is to align the nail surface, as an additional option can be used to give the shape of the nail plate.

Choose a nail pylon by material

Choose a glass or crystal pylon:If you stop your choice on a glass bench for nails, it will delight you with your reliability and durability for a long time. A good nail flower made from high-quality crystal or glass has a durable wear resource, which will certainly please the hostess, but do not forget about the lack of a lack of its cost. If you have chosen a nail strain from a crystal or glass at a price that does not exceed the cost of the ordinary peel, then most likely, in front of you are a rough plastic fake. There is one more minus at a crystal file, it has its fragility, yet it is a crystal, but it can be used for both natural and artificial nails, but the glass pedal is used mainly for natural nails. We recommend reading

Choose a metal pylon:Metal leg, like glass and crystal, has a durable wear and if it is high-quality, then you will serve for a long time, but choosing a metal pink, it is worth remembering that microcracks can remain on the nails, which in the future will lead to the flamm of nail Plates. The metal leg can be used for both artificial and natural nails.

We choose the emery popul: This type of the pink is the gap between the glass and the metal filling and has an average price category, and it is used for both artificial and natural nails. Very popular lately.

Choose a stiffening nail pink

Now consider the selection of the nail filling from their abrasiveness, that is, the rigidity that is measured in the glitters. For example, for non-natural nails, the pink abrasiveness is needed as low as possible, that is, a rigid leg is needed and it is not desirable to choose a pylon with stiffness above 100 grits, or the optimal version will be a double-sided pink with a stiffness from 100 grit on one side and 180 grits on the other side. We recommend reading

If you choose a pylon for natural nails, then remember, the softer the rigidity of the peel (the higher the reading of the grit), the less nails are injured, but the more difficult it is to give the shape of the nail plate. In order to give the form of natural nail it is worth choosing a 240 grit abrosiness. To polish the natural nail, you can buy a nail pink with rigidity from 900 to 1200 grit, it will give a shine nail.

Behind the toilets of the French Queen Mary-Antointetti watched everything. She was a mod lawmaker - and not only on the outfits. In those days the smell of the unwashed body fragrant the most high-ranking officials. However, from their court Maria-Antoinette demanded impeccable hygiene.

The demanding French queen was to manicure. It was she who popularized the feeding technique using the usual pumice for this.

A variety of modern pylons would give Maria Antoinette delight.

Glass, crystal, diamond - royal assortment! And today we will be about the saws used when working with gel varnishes - both at the stage of applying and during the removal procedure.

Before: Preparation of nails with pails to manicure gel varnish

What is the perfect manicure?

Imprisable performance of equipment, high-quality materials and all the necessary "accessories" at hand. None of the components cannot be excluded, if only the manicure is not pampering. Then, with appliances you can apply to freely, and with NO NAME varnishes to experiment, and instead of a nail file to use PEMZU.

But more often the manicure includes more responsibly. Moreover, if there are not budget gel varnishes to create it.

With the primer, the base and the top everything is more or less figured out. A variety of pylons and boughs of many leads to confusion.

Let's try to understand the assortment and start with the pylons that are used to prepare nails to apply gel-lacquer coating.

Pilim

The free edge of the nail must be decorated, that is, cropped and written. For feeding natural nails, the pinks with abrasiveness of 180-240 grit are used.

Grit - size abrasive grain. The greater the grit, the smaller the abrasive spraying and, accordingly, softer the pill. Application of pylons with abrasiveness below 180 grit when working with natural nails unsafe.

Pilking for giving nails form varies with materials.

  • Glass - careful, but fragile material.
  • The ceramics is stronger and has the ability to "pinch" the nail cut. On budget metal saws, which are separated by gentle natural marks, it is worth forgetting - their age has passed.
  • Safe and budget alternative Metal - Pilking with emery crumb on a polyurethane basis.

Shlifuem.

Subscribed?

Remove the upper keratine nail layer. Gel lacquer should sit down as a glove, and the glossy surface does not provide the necessary conditions Couplings. Ruthlessly get rid of the treacherous gloss, using a BAU or an abrasive pylon for grinding in the range of 240-500 grit.

Do not press the grinding tool. Try to apply it to the nail plate so as to handle it for the minimum number of movements. Do not get fond of "marking". The procedure, though mandatory when working with gel varnishes, its status is "traumatic".

Question, what piloca prepare nails to gel lacquesIn fact, it was not so problematic. Pay attention to the grits.

Material Choose in accordance with the capabilities of the wallet, remembering the proportional increase in quality with price increases. The form and color of the principled value do not have - leopard print and neon fuchsia of one abrasiveness in operation are the same.

After: Pilking for removing gel varnishes

Gel lacquers, it is known, "swing" in compresses with a special fluid, after which they are removed by an orange stick.

It would seem that the feet here are not a place. However, before the "compression" of the nails, the top layer of the manicure is washed down, providing a remote control (means for removing gel varnish) optimal conditions for penetration.

To the question how much is the grit for spilling gel lacquer Must have, different Neil-masters are responsible in different ways. The main thing is to disrupt the integrity of the top. What - no fundamental importance.

From the point of view of security, you should choose a pylon with an abrasiveness of 180-240 grit. The risks of "finish" to the nail plate and injure it in this case will be minimal.

Ceramics, glass and crystal - unsuitable for spilling gel varnish materials. Masters recommend that these purposes have a sandpaper on a polyurethane foam basis.

Cheap and efficient. In the top 5 Pelleet for removing gel varnish, which will not let and serve for a long time, we turned on the emery peelings from professional brands. Abrasiveness of each peking from the top five - exemplary 180 grit.

Top 5 Gel Laca Remover Pelight

Details solve everything. Such a trifle, these grits on the saws, and what fundamental importance is!
