People often care most about the care of their face, because it is the most exposed, but we like to forget about our hands, even though they are the first physical contact when meeting and greeting. Hand and nail care experts from Manikira Urban Spa offer advice on how to deal with various obstacles and achieve beautiful hands.
Hand and nail care
In addition to regular care at home - cuticle care, hand care with cream, scrub, serum for home use, use of undercoat and a suitable file - a manicure in beauty salons is also recommended, approximately once a month. In this way, the manicurist can ensure proper care and arrange the cuticles and nails more professionally. At home, we then use the products to maintain the condition until the next visit to the manicurist. Hands, just like the face, are constantly exposed to cold, heat, sun, wind, dirt, and aggressive chemical agents. The sun's rays age the skin prematurely, cause age spots and dry it out. Beautiful palms also belong to well-groomed and shaped nails. An oily cream should be applied to the hands, which should be rubbed well into the palms, and if we put on cotton gloves overnight, even small cracks and wrinkles will disappear. Daily use of moisturizing hand creams contributes to softer skin. Acetone nail polish removers dry out the nails, so it is better to use oil removers that do not dry out the nails and cuticles.
Three products that every woman should have for nail care
The first product is a manicure moisturizing gel, a care product that, with a high content of hyaluronic acid, gives the nail and cuticle flexibility and moisture. It also contains aloe vera, panthenol, keratin and rose essence. The second product is a base coat, which we use as protection against any color varnishing, or as protection for our nails. In this way, we will prevent yellow nails due to strong pigments of color varnishes. Undercoat with calcium is an excellent protection for the nails even for those who do not like painted nails in colored shades. The third product is a glass file. We use this to shorten and shape the nails. The advantage of a glass file over conventional shaping files is that the nail can be filed in both directions and the nail is not jagged. The glass file can be used for a very long time, as it can also be washed under running water and cleaned with a brush. These properties enable long-term use and quality.

This summer's colors and trends
As with make-up, a natural look is fashionable this year with nail polish. Almost transparent or really bright pastel shades are the "must have" of the season. The main word is not the varnish, but the top coat, which will be applied in several layers. The wet look on the nails is fashionable, which will ensure freshness and shine during these summer days. The moon piece, a trend introduced by designers and starlets, is considered to be one of the hottest trends this season. The simple technique of moon patch allows us to mix and capture different color tones and use a new approach to color combination. Also, one of the trends this year is the non-classical French manicure or the standard French manicure turned upside down. This can be done with a bold colored base or by painting the tips of the nails with two colors instead of the conventional thin white line. We must also not forget about the lines, which provide an additional measure of variety to clean and natural nails, and among other things, they also create the illusion of longer nails.
