Types of manicure: main trends of 2021

• What types of manicure exist, what are their main features?
• What types of cutters are used when performing hardware manicure?
• What types of manicure with varnish and permanent compounds are most popular today?

Manicure is a set of procedures aimed at improving the appearance and strengthening of nails, as well as the skin of the hands. There are a huge number of its types, and understanding them can be quite difficult. It can be trimmed and untrimmed, classic and hardware, American and Japanese. How do you know which type of manicure is right for you? Read on to find out what types of manicure there are and how they differ from each other.

Types of manicure

The time when well-groomed nails were a rarity and a cause of surprise is far in the past. Nowadays, bewilderment and a negative attitude towards themselves are caused by people who look careless.

Everyone knows that manicure is necessary not only to improve the appearance of the nail plates, it is also an important hygienic procedure. There are a huge number of types of manicure, differing from each other in the methods of execution, the equipment used, tools and means.

Classic edged manicure

In this case, special nippers and scissors are used to give the nails the desired shape and remove the cuticle. Classic edged manicure is currently very popular. The cuticle is pushed back to the nail bed using a pusher and trimmed, the ptergium is cleaned with the sharp tip of the pusher.

The main disadvantage of this type of manicure is that the cuticle is very easy to damage during processing, which can cause hangnails and inflammation. In addition, injury to the cuticle can cause accelerated growth and keratinization. So, maybe you should give up this type of cosmetic procedure? But there are situations when your hands are in too much of a state of disrepair, and then you can only get them in order with the help of a trimmed manicure.

Unedged (European) manicure

With this type of manicure, the cuticle is not cut, but softened with a special product called remover. After this, it is carefully pushed towards the nail bed using a stick made from orange wood. In this case, there is practically no chance of damaging the cuticle and causing infection. In addition, this procedure is completely painless.

But this method of treating nails also has its drawbacks: with the help of a European manicure it will not be possible to treat rough skin; only scissors and nippers can handle it. To maintain a presentable appearance of hands and nails, the procedure should be carried out at least once every 7 days.

American manicure

According to the technology of execution, this type of manicure is identical to the classic one. First, the skin on the hands is steamed using a bath, and then the softened cuticle is pushed back to the nail bed and trimmed. The surface of the nail is polished with a soft buff. A characteristic feature of this method is that the nails are given an elongated oval shape.

Brazilian manicure

Manicures made using Brazilian technology have become famous in our country quite recently. This type includes a number of sequential operations that provide complete care for the nails and skin of the hands. The procedure is performed using disposable instruments, and specialists use special gloves to moisturize and nourish the skin.

Stages of manicure using Brazilian technology:

1. Hands are immersed in a bath filled with warm water for a few minutes.
2. The nails are given the desired shape using a file and scissors.
3. Nourishing cream is applied to the skin and disposable gloves are put on hands. This can be done differently: soak thin cotton gloves with cream and put them on your hands for 20 minutes.
4. They soften the cuticle with a special product called remover, and then move it to the nail bed and trim it.
5. At the end of the procedure, a hand massage is performed.

French manicure

It is very similar to the European one, but thanks to the use of a soft glass nail file and an orange stick, French manicure is a more delicate and gentle procedure. Its characteristic feature is a two-color coating, reminiscent of the natural color of a nail.

Japanese manicure

It has radical differences with other methods of nail treatment. Its goal is to improve the appearance and strengthen the nail plates using natural remedies, and not to disguise defects under layers of varnish. During the process, masters use a wooden file and buffs covered with natural suede to grind and polish the nails. Hard files and metal tools are not used.

Spanish manicure

This cosmetic procedure is identical to the European one. It involves the use of two or more bright colors of varnish. Coatings are applied in the form of vertical, horizontal or diagonal strips, layered on top of each other.

SPA manicure

This type of manicure includes a set of procedures aimed at improving the health of the nails and skin of the hands:

1. Baths for hands and nails.
2. Peeling and procedures aimed at exfoliating dead skin.
3. Hand massage using lotions and creams.
4. Hand masks.
5. Paraffin therapy.
6. Applying coatings with strengthening properties to nails.

Manicure using the Jessica system

The technology of nail treatment using the Jessica method combines elements of trimmed, hardware, European and spa manicure. This process involves an individual approach - the masters select products, tools and procedures for each visitor individually, depending on the condition of his nails.

The uniqueness of this type of manicure is that special thermal mittens are used when performing it. They heat up and cool smoothly, thanks to which the beneficial components of cosmetic products penetrate better and faster into the skin of the hands, helping to increase its tone and improve microcirculation. The varnish is applied not only to the outer surface of the nail, but also to its end, as well as to the back side of the regrown nail plate.

Hot manicure

It is a subtype of the regular edged one. The peculiarity of the “hot” procedure is that during manicure, baths with lotion heated to 40–50 ° C are used. The brushes are immersed in the bath for 20–25 minutes, and then a regular trim manicure is performed. Warm lotions and oils soften the stratum corneum of the skin, improve blood flow, and accelerate the penetration of cosmetic components. This type of manicure is indispensable for too rough and dry skin.

Hardware manicure

Its difference from trimming is that the procedure is performed using various attachments of a special device. Thanks to the availability of cutters made of different materials and the ability to rotate them at different speeds, you can quickly and easily give nails any shape, as well as polish the nail plate and process the cuticle.

This manicure should be performed on dry nails. There are various devices for the procedure, some of them are intended for home manicure, others are professional, used for work in salons. It should be remembered that an incorrectly selected nozzle or its rotation speed can cause damage to the cuticle and nail plate, as well as thinning of the latter.

Below we present the traditional stages of manicure and the average time spent on them:

• if necessary: ​​removal of the previous coating, which is affected by its layer, solubility, solvent quality, “age”. Usually the top is cut off before soaking (5-10 minutes), then the remaining material is removed. The complete removal process takes from 15 to 30 minutes;
• complete preparation of nails with treatment of the cuticle and pterygium - at least 30-40 minutes;
• applying the base - 5-10 minutes;
• drying the base in a lamp - from 30 seconds to two minutes (depending on the type and power of the device used);
• applying gel polish to the nails of both hands - 5-10 minutes;
• drying the color coating - 30 seconds-2 minutes;
• applying the second layer of color - 5-10 minutes;

On average, the total duration of the procedure is an hour or two. If the work is performed by a professional (and uses a “high-speed” lamp), it usually lasts no more than an hour, provided that the master does not create super complex decor. Usually, the most time is spent on hand painting and design with rhinestones, but using sliders or film can reduce the duration of a manicure.

Do-it-yourself manicure at home

If you do a manicure at home yourself, the time spent on the process increases by 1.5-2 times. Because, for example, while the nails of one hand are drying in the lamp, the master uses this period to paint the nails of the second hand. When we create beauty alone, it is, of course, impossible to do this.

Manicure with regular polish

If we use traditional varnish (not shellac), then the duration of the manicure is longer, since if drying gel polish takes a maximum (!) 2 minutes, then drying regular polish (including base and top) takes up to five minutes. Let's add this time to the list above.

What if you get nail extensions?

If you build it up, then add about 4 minutes per nail to the announced total time (40 minutes in total). During this time, a professional usually removes the old coating, adjusts the length, arch and gives the final shape. Of course, the time increases if the nails are problematic and require additional treatment.

Types of cutters for hardware manicure with descriptions and photos

The device (milling cutter) is a handle connected by a cord to the processor. Nozzles are installed on it, including cutters.

There are five main attachments used for this type of manicure:

1. Mills are attachments with a blade that cuts off the rough layer of skin or varnish from the surface of the nail plate.

1. Burs are a spherical attachment designed to remove cuticles.

1. Grinders are designed to give a smooth surface to the nail. With their help, part of the stratum corneum is removed and the grooves are removed.

1. Polishers . Such attachments are made of silicone with tiny abrasive particles. They are dark (for the final stage of treating the skin of the feet), blue (for working on acrylic and gel nail plates), white (for making the surface of the nail smooth and polishing the skin around it).

1. Caps are disposable caps. The base underneath is sterilized after the manicure is completed. They feel like sandpaper. They are used for rough work with acrylic coating or gel polish, as well as for removing the stratum corneum of the epidermis on the feet.

Hardware manicure

It is impossible to pass by hardware manicure when considering the types of manicure and their features. Technology is a subtype of European manicure, which has transformed into a separate direction. It cannot be tried at home - during the procedure the specialist uses a special machine and a set of attachments. The first difference from previous types is observed when removing varnish residues. Hardware manicure uses products that do not contain acetone. The cuticle is freed from dead cells, remaining intact, thanks to the diamond nozzle in the form of a ball.

Manicure is done on dry skin. Fast-rotating grinding attachments, which the master uses to remove the cuticle, are an analogue of tweezers and manicure scissors. Using the machine, you can even level the surface of the nail plate and correct the shape. A hardware manicurist must be an avid professional, otherwise you risk damaging the nail plate.

Types of cutters for manicure and their purpose

In order to have a good understanding of such a variety of attachments and cutters, you should familiarize yourself with their classification, compiled on the basis of the functional purpose of the tools. By focusing on their specifications, you can avoid mistakes during manicure and keep track of the quickly updated assortment.

Based on their functional purpose, there are five types of nozzles:

• Steel (necessary for treating the area around the nail and removing the cuticle).
• Ceramic or corundum. The latter are a newer and more modern tool (used to shape the nail plate and delicately remove the cuticle).
• Carbide (necessary for high-quality processing of artificial nails).
• Diamond (used for hardware processing of nail plates with acrylic or gel coating).
• Polishers (used for polishing any nails).

Since there are now a huge number of different attachments that differ from each other according to a number of criteria, it is quite difficult to choose the right tools without appropriate training and experience. In this case, it is better to seek help from specialists.

Cost of manicure

A manicure with gel polish costs from 500 to 3000 rubles from different masters. But where does such a range of prices come from? Let's figure it out.

Manicure from a specialist: cheap

The low cost of the service is always due to the following factors:

• the master is a beginner and is gaining experience, attracting with the price;
• there is a promotion going on in the beauty salon;
• the master uses cheap and low-quality materials.

There are also craftswomen who work from home. Their services usually cost around 700-800 rubles. But there is a danger here: such “handicraftsmen” do not always follow the rules of instrument hygiene. A client blinded by profit can become infected with fungus, hepatitis and other diseases through unsterile equipment.

Manicure from a specialist: expensive

Ideally, the high cost (2000-3000 rubles) of a manicure in a salon is due to the highest qualifications of the master and the use of premium quality materials. But, unfortunately, this does not always happen, and the girl leaves the salon with a streaky coating that runs under the cuticle.

What to do? And it is undesirable to go to “cheap” masters, and “expensive” ones may not live up to expectations. We recommend going to trusted professionals whose reputation is confirmed by numerous reviews and examples of work.

Do-it-yourself manicure: starter package and its cost

Recently, girls are increasingly buying lamps and materials for doing their own manicure. Firstly, “if you want it done well, do it yourself,” and secondly, it will save both time and money. What is required for the starter package and how quickly will it pay for itself?

Types of manicure with varnish and their description (with photo)

The final stage of any type of manicure is the application of strengthening or decorative agents to the nails. You can choose both calm and bright types of designs for manicure. You can also experiment and cover your nail plates according to the latest fashion trends in nail design.

French manicure (French)

The most popular and favorite type of manicure design by most women is the French one. This is explained simply. Firstly, it is easy to do it yourself, without visiting a salon. Secondly, the French manicure is a universal manicure, suitable for any celebration and everyday life.

Lunar manicure

This type of manicure appeared in the 20s of the last century, and currently the fashion for it is being revived. In terms of technique, moon manicure resembles a French manicure. The only difference is that the color highlights not the regrown part of the nail, but its socket (a semicircular area at the rear nail fold).

Gradient manicure (ombre)

Gradient manicure (ombre) - covering the nail with several varnishes of different shades that smoothly transition into each other. For this manicure, different tones of the same color or contrasting shades are used.

There are two options for this type of manicure:

1. Each nail is covered with different colors that blend into each other either vertically or horizontally.
2. The nail plates are painted in different tones of the same color, their saturation changes from the first to the fifth finger.

Water manicure

This type of manicure is quite simple, every woman can do it, but at the same time it looks very impressive. To create a water-based manicure you will need several colored polishes and a little patience.

Lace manicure

This type of manicure looks very original. Nails decorated with a lace design will be the perfect complement to an evening or wedding look. The pattern can not only be drawn, it can be made using thin and light lace fabric.

Stamping

This is a method of applying images to nails using imprints made of silicone. A wide range of stamping kits allows you to depict almost any design on the nail plates (various ornaments, stripes, flowers, checks, etc.).

Stained glass manicure with acrylic paints

An unusual effect of a translucent coating is obtained if you decorate your nails with a design using acrylic paints. It is best to paint long nails with them, then the grown part will shine through under the rays of the sun. Acrylic paints are as durable as regular varnish.

Photo design

This type of manicure design allows you to apply even the most complex images to the nail plates. For this procedure, special printers are used that create designs for all nails at the same time.

Volumetric design

Using this type of manicure design, you can depict three-dimensional figures of flowers, leaves, plants and animals on your nails. Each figurine is made by craftsmen with their own hands, without the use of blanks.

Drawing using a special pen with water-based ink

With this type of manicure design, the master draws on the nails in the same way as on regular paper, having first covered the nail plates with a base layer of varnish. A fixing base is applied over the picture. In order for the design to fit well and not spread, the base layer must dry well.

French manicure (types of French manicure) with photo

This type of manicure involves short, square-shaped nails with slightly rounded corners, coated with varnish of a light natural color (beige, light pink, milky) with a white tint highlighting the regrown area of ​​the nail plate. Hands with such a manicure look elegant, and nails look natural and well-groomed.

The colored French differs from the classic one in that the regrown part of the nail is covered not with white, but with any other color of varnish. Often, in this type of manicure, different tones are combined, covering the nail plate with one shade and its tip with another. A colored French jacket looks unusual and very stylish.

Two-color French - the nail and its regrown part are covered with varnishes of contrasting shades, or products of different textures are applied, for example, the nail plate is glossy, and the “smile line” is matte.

French millennium with rhinestones and sparkles - the overgrown part of the nail is separated by a line of sparkles or rhinestones, or the “smile line” is completely filled with them. This type of manicure is very easy to do, but it looks beautiful and original. This pattern will ideally complement an evening look.

French with a pattern - the base or overgrown part of the nail is decorated with patterns, ornaments, flowers and other pictures. In this way you can easily diversify the traditional French jacket.

A non-standard French manicure has radical differences with all other variations of this type of manicure. It is often difficult to understand that this is a French jacket. Its originality lies in the fact that the tip of the nail stands out with a special arc. With this type of manicure design, the overgrown part of the nail plate is emphasized by depicting squares, zigzags, triangles and other geometric shapes on it.

Designer French is a type of manicure design in which the master’s idea is translated into reality. Such decor is the result of the creative work of a specialist, which is unlikely to be repeated exactly again. A designer jacket is suitable for special occasions.

Wedding French has recently been distinguished as a separate type of manicure. White, golden or silver patterns are applied to a light pink or beige base. Marigolds are decorated with designs of flowers and rhinestones. This manicure will perfectly complement the feminine look of the bride.

French ombre style . For this type of manicure, colored varnishes of various tones are used. In the direction from the root of the marigold to its tip, there is a gradual change of colors and their lightening.

Black French is another version of this type of manicure using black varnish.

The deep jacket is characterized by a wider “smile line” than in the classic version. This type of manicure is ideal for long nails.

Twist French is a bit like a colored version of this type of manicure. Both the main and grown parts of the nail are covered with colored varnish.

What types of manicure are suitable for short nails?

Recently, most women prefer well-groomed, short nails with a neat manicure, and this is easy to explain. Firstly, with short nail plates of a natural shape it is more convenient to carry out everyday activities. Secondly, they look neater and more well-groomed. Thirdly, according to sociological surveys, representatives of the stronger sex are much more attracted to women's hands with short nails than with long natural or artificial ones.

Short nails should be painted with small contrasting images. Volumetric and large designs are not suitable for such a manicure, as they will look vulgar and disharmonious.

Wondering how to decorate your nails?

Below are unusual, beautiful and stylish manicure options that look perfect on short nail plates.

Manicure with an accent

Delicate light colors will not make you bored if you add a bright accent to one or both ring fingers. Colored designs, rhinestones, sparkles will decorate your manicure and make it unique.

French and moon manicure

A manicure with a neutral base and a white or black smile will perfectly complement any of your looks. If a regular French manicure seems too banal and boring to you, you can try a side French manicure. The French jacket goes perfectly with a bright accent on the ring finger, and delicate lace designs on the nails will be a wonderful addition to the wedding look.

Colored French manicure on short nails

The jacket, made in bright contrasting shades, looks original and stylish. An unusual option would be a transparent base combined with tips of different colors on each of the nails.

Gradient manicure (ombre)

This type of manicure design has been one of the most popular for a long time. Ombre looks very stylish on short nails.

Leopard manicure

It is also ideal for short nails. You can experiment with shades here as much as you like. Traditional leopard spots come in turquoise, gray or even coral colors.

Feng Shui manicure

Explosive colors combined with original designs are sure to attract attention to your nails. This type of manicure design shows your desire for experimentation and playful nature. Cats, bows, berries, polka dots – there are countless options for decorating nail plates.

Mirror manicure

A mirror shine on your nails is obtained by covering them with special gold or silver foil. This type of manicure looks especially good on square-shaped nail plates. There are two types of foil:

1. Tear-off. It consists of thin sheets wrapped in paper packaging.
2. Translated. It is applied to the nail, previously lubricated with glue, after which the foil is torn off from the nail plate with a sharp movement. A very thin layer of material remains on its surface, which is covered with a fixing layer of varnish.

Partial manicure

This type of manicure design is characterized by the fact that the nail is only partially painted over. The natural color of the nail plates must be visible. You can easily do this manicure yourself. You can paint whatever you want on your nails: stripes, geometric shapes, and even perform a manicure with an emphasis on the cuticle and French manicure. The most important thing is that between the drawings there are unpainted areas of the nail plates.

From all of the above, we can conclude that you can create a stylish and unique manicure on short nail plates. Come up with original designs, experiment with images, and your well-groomed and neat nails will become the object of everyone's attention and admiration.

The most popular type of manicure is shellac.

A durable coating that stays on the nails for three weeks without chipping or scuffing provides a permanent manicure. Types of coating, such as gel, acrylic, shellac, create a durable film on the nail plates that is resistant to mechanical stress, and allows you not to worry about the appearance of your nails for quite a long time.

Shellac is a special durable nail coating that polymerizes under a specialized ultraviolet lamp. This product stays on the nail plates for about three weeks without damaging the nail structure. Shellac comes in all sorts of colors, so you can paint your nails absolutely any shade. There are various options for applying the base and top, which allow you to create a French, gradient and lunar manicure, as well as decorate the nail plates with sparkles, rhinestones and images.

Stages of performing a manicure with gel polish:

1. Performing a trim or alternative manicure to clean the nails, smooth the shape and surface of the nail plate. The presence of small roughness after a little sanding with a fine file will ensure adhesion of the coating to the surface.
2. Degreasing.
3. Applying bond and primer.
4. Applying a transparent base.
5. Dry under an ultraviolet lamp for 30 seconds.
6. Applying the first layer of base coat.
7. Drying 2 minutes.
8. Reapply and dry.
9. Apply topcoat and dry.
10. Removing sticky surfaces with a degreaser.

The best of the best in the field of offering gel polishes today continues to be the products of the Shellac brand. The products of this company have proven themselves to be high-quality and reliable nail coating products. A large assortment of colors and shades provides fashionistas with the opportunity to stay on trend. Shellac varnishes were especially popular among housewives. Everyday living has a negative impact on nails and special nail coatings. The problem of peeling edges forces you to regularly repaint your nails, causing incredible damage to your health. Gel polish coating eliminates the need for frequent removal using special products. You can change your nail design every two to three weeks.

Special types of manicure will help ensure the health and beauty of women’s hands. These include Japanese manicure. Not everyone knows about this method of caring for the skin of hands and nails today. Every woman in Japan uses it. The effect of technology is truly amazing. It is guaranteed by natural preparations and painstaking work of a specialist. Pleasure and positive emotions are guaranteed to all users.

Types of manicure with gel polish (photo)

The technology of a manicure performed using gel polish is very similar to a regular one: initially a base is applied, on top of which two layers of the base coat and a top coat are applied, which fixes the entire manicure. The only difference is the need to dry each layer under an ultraviolet lamp.

The technique for applying gel polish is the same as regular polish, but it will last three times longer. Using this product, you can create not only a single-color coating on your nails, but also perform various types of manicure designs (French, moonlight, etc.). Below are a number of techniques that are most popular this season:

• Marble manicure with gel polish.

This type of manicure is very similar to water manicure, so they are often confused. But these are two completely different methods. Marble manicure is an imitation of marble on the nail plates, and to obtain a similarity with it, various techniques are used, including water-based ones. They also use a technique using cling film. Both of them are quite simple to perform, so they can be done even at home.

• Temperature gel polish.

This varnish contains heat-sensitive substances that react to heating and cooling. As the temperature increases, the color becomes lighter, and as it decreases, it becomes darker. The effect appears at any time of the year and in any weather conditions, the shade of the varnish changes during the day and night.

Different areas of the nail have different temperatures. The nail plate is warmer at the root than at the tip. That is why the shade of gel polish will not be monochromatic. In addition, the length of the nails also affects the effect. The shorter they are, the more uniform and smooth the tone transition will be. On long nail plates the effect is fantastic!

A strong change in color occurs even if you simply pick up a hot mug or dip your fingertips in cool water. Gel polish manifests itself already in the process of creating a manicure. This product gives positive emotions to the owner and allows her to always be different.

Often the color change can be very significant. In a warm room, nails can be almost snow-white, but in the cold they turn dark. The unique coating of temperature gel polish can combine contrasting colors. For example, a pink tint, reacting to a decrease in temperature, becomes blue, white turns into purple, and green turns into brown.

• Manicure “broken glass”.

Also, this type of manicure can be called glass or nail design with glass shards (in England it is Shattered Glass Nails). It looks especially advantageous in the summer: it is quite bright, and the glass shine charmingly shimmers under the sun's rays. The effect of broken glass is created using foil, special films and mica in a variety of shades.

In the traditional version of this type of manicure, a translucent thin rainbow film is used, which is easily and evenly attached to the sticky layer of gel polish. It is sold either already cut into small pieces, or in the form of a whole sheet, which you need to cut yourself. Rainbow tints look gorgeous on both dark and light bases.

Foil can also be used for this type of manicure design. It is best to use untranslated material. But applying foil is more difficult than film due to its greater thickness.

Such a variety of types of manicure simply obliges you to experiment, try different options so that your nails are always irresistible!

Permanent manicure

Permanent manicure can provide durability (up to three weeks without scuffs or chips). Special compositions (gel, acrylic, shellac) create a durable film on the nails that is resistant to mechanical damage, and allow you not to worry about the beauty of your nails for several weeks.

Shellac

Shellac is a unique, long-lasting nail coating that polymerizes under a special UV lamp. Shellac stays on nails for up to three weeks without damaging the nail structure. A rich color palette allows you to paint your nails in any desired color, make a French manicure or perform any nail art at the request of the client.

Gel polish

A manicure made with gel polish is not too different in technology from a regular one: a base is applied, then two layers of colored coating and a top coat that seals the manicure. The only difference is that each layer must be dried under a UV lamp. Gel polish is applied in the same way as regular polish, and lasts at least 3 times longer.

Gel polish allows you to get not only a single-color coating, but also to create different designs on your nails (moon, French, cat-eye manicure, etc.)

Variety leaves no chance for inaction: choose from a variety of options what suits you, and let your hands be beautiful!
