Manicure and Cosmetic Treatments allow to prevent and alleviate many alterations of Natural Nails and give us a pleasant moment of relax during which we can take care of our Hands!
That is why we always recommend to constantly perform a Manicure - I would say at least twice a month - just to give our nails the time to grow Healthy and Beautiful!
But do we really know what is a Manicure and what are the Correct Steps for a complete Manicure (with the duration of generally 1 hour, unlike a simple Manicure treatment that lasts approximately 45 minutes)? Let’s see Together all the phases for a Professional, Safe and Perfect work!
We begin by the Preparation phase and the Filing of the Natural Nails!
First, when we are going to realise our complete Manicure, we remove any residue of Nail Polish previously applied, with the ais of a disc of cotton pads soaked with Acetone Free Nail Polish Remover.
At this point we can choose and give our nails the shape and length that we want: we File and We model our Natural Nail using a Straight Nail File Fine Grit – which is ideal also for more fragile Nails - to give it precisely the Shape that we prefer!

We eliminate any residue of Filing by using a Nail Buffer.
Once the Filing is finished, it will be appropriate to remove any residue of Filing that might compromise the precision of the successive Steps of our Manicure.
We use, in this case, a Nail Buffer: often also called Nail Buffer Block, Block or Snow Block, it is a Nail particular File characterised by its 4 sides with rough grit (240) that allows us to define each phase of Filing, in the case of a Manicure but also of a Nails Extension or Gel Polish Application!
We apply the Cuticle Oil:
This is a very important Phase of our Manicure too! The Application of the Specific Cuticle Oil, in fact, will allow us to hydrate and soften the "hangnails" that surround the Nail, facilitating in this way the successive working Steps!

We proceed by applying the Cuticle Oil (available in our Catalog in different formats, from the Cuticle Oil Roll-On to the Cuticle Oil Dropper) and gently massaging the area of Application until the product will be absorbed.
We now proceed with the Handbath for a full of wellness!
We immerse Hands for some minutes in the lukewarm water that we placed inside the special Manicure Bowl.
The temperature of the water, in fact, will allow us to soften the skin, dilate its pores and thus to prepare our Hands to the following Steps and to the absorption of the active principles of the specific products that we are going to use later!To complete the work, we add Perfumed Mild Soap and a few drops of Disinfectant to the Water and we leave our hands "soaking" for a few minutes. Once this step is finished, we will be able to gently dry Hands with single.use napkins or with a small towel.
We apply the Cuticle Remover:
We remove the cuticles in excess with the aid of the Cuticle Remover, a specific and delicate product characterised by the particular composition which allows us to dissolve the remains of the cuticle that often remain attached to the nail surface and that would compromise the coat of our Nail Polish.

We apply our Cuticle Remover directly on hangnails to treat, using the integrated brush present in the Bottle of the Product itself.

We remind you to always proceed with gentle circular movements that will allow us to remove and move the Cuticles quickly and effectively, and to avoid unnecessary pressures which might damage our Nail Surface.
Let us prepare ourselves, arrived at this point, to take care of the Skin of our Hands in successive Steps of our Manicure!

Arrived at this point, it begins the part that is generally more relaxing and loved by our Customers, the Phase where we begin to take Care and to “cuddle” the Skin of our Hands with the aid of specific products and rich in nutrients for the epidermis!
We begin, then, to prepare the Skin of our Hands to "welcome" the most the Hands Scrub which we are going to apply in the next working Step: we use a sponge and we gently damp the Hand with lukewarm Water.
The temperature of the lukewarm water in fact, favours the dilation of the pores of the epidermis, for an effective absorption of the active principles of the Hands Scrub. The still damp skin, moreover, will allow to easily slide the microgranules during our Scrub!

And now is the time to the Hands Mask!
After the Hands Scrub we can proceed with another Step of our particularly relaxing Manicure, the Hands Mask!
This is a specific Product that is fundamental for a perfect and complete Manicure, rich of nutrient and emollient components able to nourish even the driest skins and to give us an immediate purifying and refreshing action.
We apply an uniform layer of Hands Mask with the aid of a spatula or a Manicure Nail Brush, then wrapping Hands up to the wrist in the tinfoil, in a small towel or in a cotton glove, which will keep Hands warm, favouring the dilation of pores, the elimination of toxins and the absorption of the active principles of the Hands Mask.
