It is worth noting that not everyone knows what kind of procedure this is. Although if you think logically, then everything becomes clear. In fact, nail polishing is a specific way to improve the nail plate, and how appearance and overall health and well-being of the nails. And if you pay attention to the hands of Japanese girls, then in most of them we will see exactly the glossing technique. Actually, this option for caring for hands and nails is recommended for use when foliating nails, with brittleness. A similar Japanese manicure helps prevent drying of nails and stimulates their growth. Often, such ailments of the nails occur with improper or monotonous nutrition, often this is due to external influences on the nails. Therefore, polishing nails involves removing the cuticle and polishing the nail plate.

How is nail polishing done?

The most important thing in this type of manicure is the correct use of the glossing technique. Initially, you need to prepare the nail plate. Further, the cuticle is processed with gentle, emollient and healing agents. Hands must be disinfected and often hands are lubricated with protein.

Next, the nails are treated with mineral paste "ni". Its composition is almost identical to the structure of the nail plate. Cavities and microcracks are filled with this paste. Next, the nail is polished using a polishing block, preferably from natural calfskin. If you are interested in the composition of the mineral paste, then it is as follows: it is a combination of quartz, pearl chips and calcium ceramides. All this increases the elasticity of the nail and allows you to polish the nail plate to the smallest irregularities without leaving scratches. Paraffin and beeswax are used, which are part of the powder. They create a kind of thin protective film on the surface of the nail, which helps to preserve the natural shine.

Next comes the actual process of polishing the nails. Glossy is done with polishing powder, and polishing is provided by a special polishing block. All this protects the nail from external influences, and the paste that was used in the initial stages of glossing nourishes the nail plate.

Benefits of nail polish

Due to glossing, the nails become healthier, their condition noticeably improves, they level out and become almost perfect. The procedure for glossing nails is recommended to be used after extension, to restore and strengthen your own. The glossing procedure prevents them from drying out and delamination, perfectly stimulating growth. It is worth noting that nails that have gone through the glossing procedure can be covered with decorative varnishes, manicured and all previously familiar actions can be performed.

The specifics of nail polishing

Hello everybody!

I won’t believe those who say that gel polish does not damage the nail plate and does not affect the nails. Affects. Thins the plate, so much so that it turns into parchment paper. When I started going to the pool, painting my nails every other day became terribly uncomfortable and I decided to switch to gel polishes. Worn for 3 months without a break. During the last correction, I noticed that my nails have very strange white stripes, which I have never had. Nails have always been uniform in color. I decided to remove the gel polish completely.

The nails were exfoliating terribly, she could not grow a millimeter. Home care and vitamins did not help much to look decent, not to mention the very health of the nail plate. In the salon, a friend suggested doing a permanent nail polishing using Japanese technology.

I learned about this technology for the first time and I was told that it is curative and will help my nails recover.

The technology was patented in Tokyo in 1958 by P.Shine. The name translates as "permanent gloss" or "permanent radiance".

The essence of the procedure:

The procedure of permanent polishing of nails has no analogues. This is all about the traditional sealing or polishing of nails, but something more.

During permanent glossing, a gentle effect is exerted on the nail plate, additional strengthening and coating of the nail surface is given. As a result of this procedure, various defects are eliminated, the nail acquires a healthy and beautiful shine, an even pink tint, and becomes resistant to negative impact environment.

The set includes 10 items:

The process itself is short and even entertaining.

But since my nails were thinned, the first session was very painful, especially rubbing the paste. Each pressing on the nail gave off a dull pain.

First, the nail plate is cleaned with a special soft nail file.

Then they begin to rub the paste with a special suede buff. The paste contains:

"Dieselguhr" or diatomaceous clay and beeswax, as well as minerals and trace elements to nourish the nail.

The final stage is glossing, which gives a mirror shine to the nails. With the help of organic powder and another buff.

As a result of the procedure, the nails acquire a beautiful shine and protection, which lasts up to 10-12 days. Then the gloss starts to fade, but the nails look better. Smooth, durable beautiful and healthy.

I have only done this procedure 3 times. And even after that I noticed a difference. Nails have become much stronger, no longer exfoliate.

The cost of this procedure in my city is 350 rubles.

The kit itself costs about 4,000 rubles. I myself would be happy to carry out such a procedure at home, only a set can be bought at training centers. I never found it in free sale, so I periodically carry out the procedure in the salon. The price, in principle, is adequate, and the result speaks for itself when I look at my nails.

Now the condition of my nails makes me very happy. Nails are stronger and grow faster. Stop layering.

P.SHINE Permanent Nail Gloss Technique 1. Opening the nail plate Cleaning the surface of the nail and delicately removing the natural protective layer. This is necessary in order to prepare the nail for penetration of the P.Shine nail nourishing paste. If the procedure is performed by a certified master, this stage is carried out as comfortably and painlessly as possible for the client. 2. Saturation of the nail plate The plate is saturated with P.Shine paste using a buff with a suede working surface. The master applies the paste in such a way as to prevent the cells of the nail plate from being sealed, but to ensure penetration active substances composition in depth. It is the saturation with the paste that makes the nails healthy. 3. Glossing of the nail plate The final stage is the formation of gloss on the surface of the nail instead of the previously removed one. Gloss is produced by P.Shine powder of organic origin and a second buff (for paste and powder, different ones are necessarily used). Glossing differs from banal polishing in that the surface of the nail is not rubbed, but an additional barrier layer is created that will retain the nutrients of the paste on the nail and will not be washed off under the influence of water and household chemicals. After the procedure, the master can proceed to the classic manicure. Repeating the procedure is required no more than once every 1.5-2 weeks, like a regular manicure. Main Active Ingredients: Diatomaceous earth Diatomaceous earth, also known as diatomaceous earth, is a unique rock. it is formed mainly from the remains of diatoms in the places of ancient seas and lakes. The valves of these algae are rich in silicon, the healing properties of which are difficult to overestimate. It is used in orthopedics for the treatment of the musculoskeletal system, it is invariably included in skin rejuvenation programs, strengthening hair and nails. In combination with various bioactive trace elements left from the inhabitants of the water depths, it stimulates key processes in the formation of the nail plate. Beeswax Natural beeswax is a key (along with honey) beekeeping product with high bactericidal properties. It has long been used in medicine, it serves as the basis for many pharmaceutical and cosmetic preparations.

A new service has appeared in many salons - polishing nails. Advertising promises that immediately after the procedure, the nails will look shiny and healthy. Talks about the pros and cons of glossing master of nail service Jema Ibragimova within the framework of the program "Nails: master class".

- Jema, glossing is important new technology manicure?

No, glossing has existed for a long time, but during its existence it has changed its name more than once: sealing, imprinting cream into nails, driving oil, biopolishing, and so on. Now the Japanese have developed the already existing technology, focusing on the visual effect, so the procedure is called "glossy". The popularity of glossing is explained by the fact that during this procedure creams and oils are used, and metal tools do not touch the hands.

- And glossing replaces traditional manicure?

The procedure has a different purpose, and polishing is not done on neglected nails. If the cuticle has grown, a manicure is still necessary.

It is not entirely correct to talk about "strengthening nails", nails are not alive, only the matrix is ​​alive - the root of the nail, two or three millimeters from the cuticle. In a manicure, when glossing, the nails are sealed, and this prevents their delamination in the future, since all the scales of the upper layer of the nail, the so-called protein layer, fold in one direction. Due to this, the effect of gloss is obtained.

- And this effect is manifested immediately? Do your nails look healthy right away?

Look - yes. Shiny smooth nails after glossing are visually perceived as healthy and strong, and truly strengthened nails can grow after two to three months of regular procedure and additional care.

- And what exactly is rubbed into the nails during glossing during manicure? What are the beneficial substances?

Different manufacturers have different compositions, there are creams, oils, waxes, they can include clay, algae, acids, lanolin, glycerin, and many other substances. By the way, Europeans believe that in addition to a nourishing cream, nothing else should be rubbed into the nails. I repeat - all these cosmetic products do not affect the health of already regrown nails. They can only affect those nails that begin to grow and will grow for three months.

- How often do you need to polish?

About once every three weeks. In time, glossing itself takes about half an hour - plus the same amount for a manicure, a total of an hour.

- Is the procedure expensive?

Glossing will cost you from 250 to 500 rubles. But if every time you do it together with a manicure, then this, of course, will be a significant cost. So it’s better to ask the master to choose home care for you, it will be cheaper. I prepare kits for my clients that include a cleaner, cream or oil for the intended purpose, a file and a polisher.

- Can you name the pros and cons of glossing during manicure?

Obvious pluses are a healthy appearance of the nail and its real health in the future. And the downside may be that some craftsmen use buffs and files incorrectly, and besides, they use them too often. As a result, the nail becomes thinner, becomes sensitive, exfoliates.

- You talked about additional care - what exactly do you recommend?

Apply lotion after washing your hands, by the way, this also applies to men without fail! When using any detergent, wear gloves. Twice a day, smear your hands with a nourishing cream, and your nails with cuticle oil. When there is no coating on the nails, rub a nourishing cream into the nails once every three days and drive it in with a suede file or buff. Exfoliate your hands twice a week. Push your cuticles back regularly with a wooden stick. If you visit the salon less than once every two weeks, make clay hand masks or unflavored sea salt baths (you can add a few drops of iodine). It is useful to lubricate the nails with a mixture of lemon juice and sunflower oil, or use a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice and vitamin A for baths - they are taken twice a week for a month.

Cut your nails exclusively with a nail clipper, leaving no corners, and remember to use a file when nicks or breaks appear. When a hangnail appears, lubricate it with cream, and only then remove it with tongs. Wear gloves in winter and use lotion with UV protection more often in summer. If you paint your nails at home, follow the rules: one coat of base, two coats of varnish, top coat and, when provided by the manufacturer, oil drying. Leave the rest of your hand care to a professional.
