Nail care: sawing, shaping and varnishing

Want to have beautiful manicured hands? Then nail care is simply necessary! Tips and tricks for pampering your nails.

Step 1: Careful preparation and mitigating care

Before starting manicure, it is necessary to carefully and thoroughly clean your nails with a liquid to remove varnish and soft detergent lotion. To prepare your nails for the next steps and prevent delamination when sawing and trimming, apply nail oil after cleaning. The oil moisturises the nails and also makes the cuticle soft and elastic. This facilitates retraction and subsequent removal.

Step 2: File treatment and shaping

What shape of nails do you want? Deciding on the form is not so easy. Whether round, oval or square, it's best to shorten your nails to the desired length first with nail scissors or nail tongs. For hard nails, we recommend nail clippers, and for soft nails, it is better to use nail scissors. Torn nails are also easier to handle with nail scissors. When nails are the right length, use the right file to give them the shape you want and you'll be ready for the next stage of manicure.

Step 3: Remove the cuticles

Thanks to nail oil, the cuticles have become soft and pleasant, which is perfect for shaping them. Gently move the cuticles away with a rosewood stick or special cuticle remover, then remove them with special cuticle scissors. They are much more delicate than nail scissors and allow you to carefully remove the cuticle.

Step 4: Painting

Now the colour comes into play: first apply a base coat to protect your nails from discoloration and give the manicure a longer lasting resistance. Then paint your nails with your favorite shade and fix the result with a top covering. There are some tips and tricks that will help you achieve a particularly beautiful and durable result when applying varnish.

Help: How to care for brittle nails?

Fragile nails require increased attention to look well-groomed. Our tip: If you have brittle nails, say goodbye to nippers and nail scissors and shorten them with a file. This procedure treats nails carefully and prevents them from unintentionally dissecting. We also recommend sawing the brittle nails in only one direction - this will make them less rough.

A must-have for sensitive nails is nail oil, which provides an extra portion of care. If you put a little helper on your bedside table, you can always treat your nails to a few drops before bed.
