25 budget funds for hand care up to 260 rubles
A selection of creams, masks and varnishes to make the perfect manicure without leaving your home.
Care
Moisturizing and nourishing hand creams are a girl’s best friend, no matter what they say (after all, diamonds and other jewelry look only on well-groomed fingers). Pay attention to the composition – it’s good if there are vitamins and acids.
It is recommended to do a bath once a week – add a gentle cleanser to a large bowl of warm water. We soak our hands for a few minutes, apply a scrub with massage movements, it will remove dead particles. The granules should not be too large, otherwise the skin will be injured. We apply a mask (for a salon effect, a mask-gloves are suitable, you can even do household chores with it – a special valve fixes the fabric on the wrist so that excess air does not come in and the cream does not leak out). By the way, using the cream, we pay special attention to the fingers and the area around the nails.
Manicure
While the hands are still steamed, move the cuticle aside with a special stick. Cutting the cuticle is not worth it, it has a protective function. Degrease the nails with a cotton pad dipped in nail polish remover. Apply a base coat – transparent varnish. It protects nails and prevents chipping. It is good if the product contains vitamin E and calcium, which are beneficial for the health of nails.
When the base is dry, apply colored varnish in vertical stripes, starting from the base of the nail to the tip. If it has spread, we moisten a stick with a flat end in acetone and go through it in the cuticle area. The varnish with the effect of a gel coating lays down in a thicker layer, therefore, it is enough to apply 1-2 times, and the coating will already look bright and dense, dries quickly, does not require additional base and final layers. Moreover, the product is long-lasting up to one and a half weeks. Finish the manicure with a top coat to make the nails shiny and prevent chipping. Reapplying every couple of days will help keep your nails shiny and your nails flawless for a long time.
Antiseptics
When choosing an antiseptic, we pay attention to the packaging – there are only antibacterial ones, and there are those that destroy viruses. The composition of alcohol may include additional substances – medicinal (for example, triclosan) or those that protect the skin from drying out (for example, glycerin).

Glad to have a break and rest your nails from coatings. I apply only a medical coating!
