What Kind of Foot Nails Are There?
Next, let’s look at the types of foot nails! There are two typical types, “pedicure” and “foot nail.”
Features and benefits of a pedicure
Pedicure is the same as nails at hand, using nail polish to add color. You can easily do it with nail polish remover, and you can try various designs in a short period because you can remove them with nail polish remover. Recommended for those who want to change the design a lot according to the event or schedule.
Features and benefits of gel nails
- Gel nails are nails that have a special gel placed on the nails and hardened with LED lights.
- It’s a nail pattern that is now as mainstream as a pedicure.
- The merit of gel nails is durability.
- Because it is solidified and designed, it lasts longer than a pedicure.
- Another advantage is enjoying fashion other than color, such as putting stones on it.
There Are Merits in Both Self-made Nails and Salon Nails!
- When starting foot nails, the first thing to worry about is whether to use “self-nail” or “salon nails.”
- Self-nail is a nail that you can add your color to.
- The advantage is that you can create a design that you can do when you think of it.
- Also, if you have the necessary tools, you can enjoy it without spending money.
- On the other hand, salon nails go to the salon and have a nail technician perform the treatment.
- You can make a difficult design to try by yourself and have a professional do it, so its holding and beauty are endorsed.
- It costs a certain amount, but you can enjoy fashion for a long time.
- Also, some salons offer foot care in addition to nails.
- It is good to choose not only in terms of economy and time but also in terms of the design you want!
If You Want to Try It Right Away
Once you know the basics of foot nails, it’s time to put them into practice! If you want to try it out right away or want to be able to design it yourself, we recommend starting with a pedicure. The question then is, “What should I do to apply it neatly?” I will introduce how to apply a simple and clean self-pedicure this time!
What you need for a self-pedicure
- Pedicure of your favorite color
- Basecoat
- Topcoat
- Nail polish remover
- Stick with cotton wrapped
- Nail clippers
- Nail file
Most of what you need is the same as hand nails! If you are a regular self-nail artist, you can get started.
Easy way to apply self-pedicure
(1) First, treat the cuticles of your nails with a stick with cotton.
It is also important to adjust the length of your nails and polish them with a file.
(2) Wipe off oil and dirt on your nails with cotton soaked in nail polish remover. It will be a long-lasting point for Pedicure.
(3) Insert the separator for the toes and apply the base coat.
At this time, if you apply in the order of nail edge → surface, the polish will be beautifully applied.
(4) When the base coat dries, it’s time to apply polish!
The point here is to apply in the order from the edge to the surface.
(5) When painting the nail’s surface, apply in the order shown in the image number. After applying all the nails once, the point is to dry them once and reapply them a second time from the top.
(6) After applying it a second time and drying it, apply a topcoat, and it’s done! If it sticks out while applying it, gently wipe it off with a cotton stick soaked in nail polish remover.
Precautions when receiving a pedicure at the salon!
You can take Pedicures as well as at the salon. However, it would be best to be careful about “shoes” when you receive them at the salon. The polish used in Pedicure takes some time to dry. If you wear normal shoes and the polish isn’t dry, your Pedicure will be ruined. Therefore, it is good to choose shoes with open toes, such as sandals, for going back and forth.
If You Want to Make It Last Longer
“It’s hard to fix each time, so it’s better to last a long time!” If you think like this, it is recommended to try gel nails. You can try it yourself, but it requires a certain skill, so it’s best to go to the salon and place an order.
What kind of menu do you have?
You will choose what you want to do from many menus at the nail salon.
There are many types, and I get lost, but the main axes I choose are design and materials. When asking, ensure you know which one you want, one-color or design nails, the color-rich para gel, the light, thin call, and the durable, long-lasting bagel.
