How to make nails look better without manicure?

 


If you want to have beautiful nails, your physical condition is the first priority. Health is very important. No sick person will have plump and moist nails.


Healthy nails should be: the nail bed color is light pink (healthy color), showing a large C-shaped arc in the direction of the nail length, and a small C-shaped arc in the direction of the nail width, three-dimensional plump and shiny state.


Let's talk about the basic structure of nails, for the convenience of understanding, popular explanation.


1. Nail cover


Nails, mainly composed of keratin, are responsible for things like picking up small objects.


2. Nail bed


The nail bed is the carrier on which the nail cover is attached.


3. Nail base


The nail base is at the root of the nail and is responsible for supplying the nutrition of the nail (nail matrix)


4. Nail core


The nail core is a thin layer of soft film that connects the nail bed and the nail, similar to the inner protective film of an egg.


The above is the main composition.


5. Free line


The free line refers to the front end of the finger, the edge of the connection between the nail bed, the nail core and the nail cover. The normal state is at the same height as the fingertip, and has a natural symmetrical arc, like a crescent moon, like the corner of a smiling mouth, so it is also called a smile line or smile line. If you often cut your nails past the smile line or very close to the smile line, it will naturally recede to protect the nail bed. If this happens for a long time, the nail bed will degenerate and become shorter.


6. Free edge


Free Edge, as the name suggests, allows the nails to grow indefinitely. From the smile line to infinite length is called free side. Most people's nails are prone to breakage or delamination due to nutritional deficiencies.


7. Nail groove


A nail groove is the groove between the side of the nail and the finger. When the hands are relatively dry, they are prone to pimples or crusty skin. This problem cannot be solved by any hand cream. Hand cream mainly cares for the skin on the palms and backs of the hands. Finger thorns can be treated with finger oil. You can choose moisturizing and softening finger oil for prevention, such as avocado finger oil.


8. Finger edge and finger skin


The finger edge refers to the fleshy part surrounding the nail, including the finger skin and the edge of the nail groove. The finger skin has no nerves and blood vessels, and plays a role in protecting the methyl group.


The above are the basic common sense that personal care needs to know. The terms of professional manicure and professional care products are not introduced one by one.


The following introduces personal care appliances


cotton swab


gauze


Alcohol


Nail clippers (preferably large ones)


manicure file


Polishing strip


fresh lemon


Basic steps of personal nail care at home


1. Cut nails


As mentioned above for the smile line, the length should be reserved when cutting the nails, and the shortest point should be reserved to 2 mm from the smile line, which can be square, square, oval, pointed, etc. Polish the ideal shape according to age, occupation, hand shape, preference, etc. As a reminder, the ellipse is moderate and stable, while the square is cool and fashionable.


2. Soak fingers and nails in warm water


You can put a small amount of hand sanitizer in the water (don't put it if you mind), soak the finger edges until soft, and use eyebrow scissors to cut off any thorns.


3. Exfoliating


Wrap the gauze around the index finger, and use the fingertips to wipe off the dead skin floating on the surface of the other nails (skin flakes, that is, the inactive cell dander that comes out with the growth of the nails), especially the nail grooves, and do it repeatedly . Pay attention to only rubbing the surface of the nail, and non-professionals should not push up the finger skin.


4. Polishing


Use the front and back of the polishing strip to buff the nail surface to a glossy finish. (If the dead skin is not wiped off, the brightness will not last long)


5. Clean


Clean the inner surface of the free edge of the nail with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.


6. Whitening


Repeatedly rubbing the inner surface of the fresh lemon peel on the nail surface will have a very good whitening effect.


Well, wash your hands and dry them with a soft towel. See how your nails have changed?


7. Apply finger oil around the nails and massage until absorbed


8. Apply hand cream and massage until absorbed.

Every product of this brand is very cost-effective. Like this eyeshadow. The actual color is as shown in the picture. Put a picture of the color test, you can see how delicate its powder is. I don't think there is any need for more words to describe it, one word: amazing.

What's the most attractive thing a guy does?

  First of all, this is a teaching post, not a storytelling session. The routines in the story are indeed very attractive when expressed in words, but there are too many restrictive conditions, such as the premise that the girl is your girlfriend, or is in an ambiguous state. The truly practical "flirting" refers to the process of making a girl's favorability for a boy go from zero to one, and then from one to one hundred. There is a saying that "Girls are not chased, but attracted". So, have you ever thought about what girls are attracted to? Someone rushed to answer "rich, handsome..." Then the question is, if you are on the same economic level as another boy, even he earns $500 more than your monthly salary; your looks are about the same, even he is five centimeters taller than you. This is most often the case because of social circle constraints. So, based on this premise, what is "flirting": 1. Satisfy the gender of girls At the very lea...

How to clean jewelry?

 Jewelry cleaning is basically divided into two parts, gemstones and metals. Both have their own preferences and the best way, depending on the specific situation. First introduce the common cleaning tools. The selection method is attached at the end of the article. 1. Brush It is very convenient to have brushes such as toothbrushes at hand. To clean jewelry, it is recommended to use dish soap. You can use fine-grained toothpaste to clean silver jewelry, which has a slight cleaning effect, but it will cause small scratches on the surface. Not recommended for use on coated jewelry. Delicate jewelry such as pearls should not touch a hard brush. I generally use a soft brush, or a clarisonic face brush to clean my jewelry. This ultra-fine hair cleansing brush on Taobao has delicate, soft and very fine hair, which is very suitable for cleaning delicate things. I usually use it to clean antique jewelry with pearls in many details. Toothbrush In fact, toothbrush and toothpaste are also ve...

Book Recommendation Series 1 - Psychology: Core Concepts

  It is no exaggeration to say that if you can persist in reading this book, your understanding of the world will rise to a new level. I have nothing to share after reading: After more than a month, I finally finished reading Zimbardo's book General Psychology intermittently, and took a lot of notes in the middle. Now I try to share with you some psychological skills that I think are practical. Because the original impetus to read this book was to save my terrible memory - I don't understand why human beings claim to have a massive brain of 760 million terabytes, but I can't remember my wife's phone number or even any one The license plate number, and I can't even remember the name and appearance of a friend who has eaten several times. So first of all, what I want to share is the skills of memory: how to remember, how to remember firmly, and how to remember for a long time. I will try to explain all this in the simplest language possible, with as little psychologic...

Are there any things that are especially delicious when boiled directly in water or dipped in some seasoning?

  What ingredients are suitable for cooking directly in water? Not all ingredients are suitable for boiling directly in water. Since it is to taste the original taste of the food, it must be "fresh", "sweet" and "sweet" to be more suitable. Among them, seafood and vegetables are the two most common ingredients boiled with water. Seafood, common ingredients include shrimp, snails, cuttlefish, gun barrels, etc. But not all the above seafood can be boiled? of course not. Boiling has very strict requirements on ingredients. Take shrimp as an example. For shrimp, which will start to smell when it dies, live shrimp is needed. The same is true for fish. Therefore, dishes such as boiled shrimp or boiled snails use live ingredients. For cuttlefish and gun barrels, which are difficult to buy live ingredients, it is necessary to ensure that the ingredients are frozen, fresh or freshly caught. If the ingredients are not fresh and then frozen, they must not be used. Ve...
