But with the help of a combined manicure, you can create a beautiful manicure, even at home. In this article we will tell you what a combined manicure is, as well as its benefits.
What is a combined manicure
A combined manicure can simultaneously combine several types of manicure techniques. That is, it can be a hardware and trim manicure, or a Brazilian manicure with cuticle treatment using a device.
It is also possible to use Japanese manicure, and the skin of the hands is improved using traditional SPA treatments.

Another incredibly trendy decor for transforming your nails, giving them a shiny look. Foil can safely be called the main decoration of a manicure, regardless of seasonality, occasion and style. Looks original in combination with other nail design decor with different effects. Foil can be used with regular polish, as well as gel polish, gel or acrylic. A combined manicure using foil-potal and rubbing looks fresh and relevant.
Benefits of a combined manicure
Let's say you have a delicate cuticle that shouldn't be treated with hardware manicure. In this case, the master uses standard trimmed manicure sets or removes the cuticle using the Japanese manicure technique. In this case, he uses cucumber extract to soften it, and then removes it with a boxwood stick - Tachiban.
But the ridges surrounding the nail are quite rough. Here the wizard takes the device and removes what is not needed. Thus giving you a combined manicure. This manicure will make your nails look better, since different techniques will have an individual effect on the nails, cuticles and skin of the hands.
A combined manicure can prevent delamination of the nail plate, and provide them with a healthier and more beautiful appearance.

Technique for performing a combined manicure
Typically, a combined manicure is performed in the following steps:
- Polishing and giving nails the desired shape.
- Treatment of cuticles and ridges around the nail.
- Treatment of the nail plate.
- Coating application.
- Hand skin care.
Each stage can use a different technique. In the second: trimmed and hardware manicure, in the third - the use of a Japanese type of manicure aimed at improving the health of the nail plate. And in the fifth - paraffin therapy and light massage.
What is the difference between a classic manicure and a combined one?
The classic trimmed manicure is a rather outdated procedure, incompatible with extensions or gel polish. Before this treatment, your hands need to be steamed in a bath; During soaking, nails absorb water, which will inevitably lead to detachments and chips of the material.
The combined method does not require steaming. Processing takes place using a special device - a milling cutter and many attachments that are needed for shaping, polishing, removing rough skin and many other types of work.
Doing a combined manicure at home
To make such a manicure at home, you will need a hardware machine, a set of tools for trimming manicure, as well as various care products, softening the cuticle and polishing the nail plate.
First, you should treat the tools with a disinfectant and remove the varnish, and then proceed to design and adjust the nail plate.
Then you need to apply an acid-containing emulsion to the cuticle, which will soften the cuticle, and you can push it back with an orange stick. What you cannot remove can be trimmed using nippers (European and edged type of manicure)
Then turn on the device and polish the nail rollers using a small, low-abrasive attachment (hardware type of manicure)
Afterwards, proceed to polishing the nail plate with a buff and apply a special mask containing avocado oil to the skin of your hands (Brazilian type of manicure)
Then you should apply a special oil based on red tea (Japanese manicure) to the nail plate. This oil can nourish the nail plate with useful elements, which will affect its healthier appearance in the future.
