Step-by-step manicure lessons at home. Basics of manicure with gel polish on video with lessons for beginners
Shared
A modern female image today is impossible without a good manicure. Fortunately, it can be done not only by an experienced master. Even beginners can implement trending ideas. It is important to know the basics of professional manicure and nail design. They will help you create many of your own options.
Today, manicure has ceased to be an activity that requires a long time and a large number of devices. Modern procedures tend towards simplicity and versatility. The most advanced method is the so-called dry manicure. No water is used in the process. Even spas are doing away with soaks and baths. This allows you to significantly reduce process time and improve the quality of the coating.
A hand bath softens the nail plate and increases its size. After coating with varnish, the nail shrinks. This leads to the appearance of microcracks in the varnish. Refusal of water allows you to significantly extend the durability of your manicure - up to 1-2 weeks.
Manicure at home is easy to do
For a simple home dry manicure you will need:
- formaldehyde (Formaldehyde),
- phthalate (Dibutyl Phthalate, DBP),
- toluene (Toluene).
Sequencing:
If you press a cotton wool or disc against your nail for a few seconds, the old polish will come off more easily.
Do not take on almond-shaped outlines if you do not have enough experience - when creating this shape it is difficult to maintain symmetry and correct proportions.
Nails are filed with smooth movements in one direction.
Polishing makes the nail texture even
A few drops of oil are enough for the cuticle.
Manicurists use wooden or ceramic sticks
For beginners, the unedged manicure method is suitable. No scissors or nippers are used for the skin around the nails; it is only gently pulled back.
After thoroughly preparing the nail plate, you can begin applying varnish. It happens in three stages:
With a base coat for your nails, your manicure will last longer.
Colored varnish is applied when the base layer has dried.
Use a synthetic brush to remove excess polish from the base of your nail.
Spray drying will dry the varnish in a very short time
Nail art for beginners
Minimalist design is almost always in trend. Master the classic methods and ideas from the runway will become available to you.
French manicure
French manicure as a nail design style was born in the 1930s. This is what they call nail design, in which a fake white edge is created on the nail plate, imitating a natural one. For some time, French (as manicurists call the French style) was forgotten, but in the 1990s and 2000s it experienced a new wave of popularity. Today, French manicure is one of the most popular nail designs all over the world.

Moon manicure and its variations
Lunar manicure has become popular in the last decade thanks to a new wave of attention to burlesque and Dita Von Teese. Every year new options for lunar manicure appear. The relevance of this nail art does not go away, because with its visual effectiveness it is easy to implement even without experience.
The moon nail design appeared in the 1920s. Until the 1930s, this term was used for a manicure in which only the central third of the nail was painted with red polish, leaving the edge and bed bare or covered with a lighter shade of varnish. At the end of the 1930s, a lighter version came into fashion, when only the hole (base) of the nail remained without color.

Step 1: Tools
To do your own manicure at home, make sure you have all the necessary tools. You may have to do some shopping to complete the entire set. Once you have a complete set of tools, you won't have to worry about this in the future the next time you do your nails at home.
Here's what you'll need:
- Nail polish buff
- Nail trimmer
- Cuticle trimmer
- Cotton pads
- Nail polish remover
- Nail clippers
- Nail file
- Nail polish
- Hand cream
- Primer
- Upper layer
Step 2: Preparation
You need to choose a place. Both nail polish remover and nail polish itself can damage fabric, wood trim, or carpet. You may also accidentally stain your clothes, so wear an old T-shirt and remove your rings. Lay down paper or an old cloth to protect the table surface.
Before you start doing your manicure, make sure you have everything ready.
Step 3: Cleaning your nails
Remove old nail polish. Soak a cotton pad and gently apply it to your nails. Sometimes nail polish becomes too hard to remove quickly. In this case, place a cotton pad on your nails for a while to easily remove the old polish completely.
Do not use acetone to remove old polish as it damages your nails.
Step 4: Sharpening your nails
After removing the old nail polish, it's time to treat your nails. Use nail clippers to trim your nails. Don't file your nails too short. Shape your nails into the desired shape, rectangular or tapered, as per your choice. For a better understanding, we have added a video tutorial so you can see how a specialist treats his nails. Try to create smooth lines without corners, otherwise you will end up with uneven nail growth.
The nail shapes for the manicure will be determined at this stage. But this is not enough to know what a manicure is and the different types of manicure, you also need to know how to properly adjust your nails.
Step 5: Polish your nails
Now use a nail buffer. Polish the surface gently until it is smooth. However, don't polish too much as this will weaken your nails.
Polishing your nails is an important step in a manicure, so make sure you invest in a good nail buffer.
Step 6: Soaking Nails
Take a bowl, fill it with warm water with a few drops of soap and soak your hands in it for a few minutes. The soap solution helps remove dead skin cells and dirt from the surface of the nail while softening the cuticle.
Keep in mind that if your nails are fragile, instead of soaking them, simply rinse them.
Step 7: Forming the Cuticle
First, apply the cream or oil to the cuticles. Then carefully move it away using a special spatula or an orange stick. Never cut your cuticles and always be careful when preparing them for a manicure. Due to the removal of cuticles, the skin around the nails can become easily vulnerable.
Step 8: Applying Cream
Now use body lotion and massage on both hands. If your hand skin is dry, use a moisturizer. Avoid contact with water or detergent for at least half an hour to allow your nails to absorb the lotion well.
Moisturizing your nails guarantees you healthy nails and a beautiful manicure.

Manicure at home - video tutorial
We hope you found this article on how to do a manicure at home useful. You will no longer spend money on salons, as you can get a beautiful manicure without leaving your home.
Trim manicure
This type of manicure is performed using the following tools:
- scissors;
- nail file;
- stick for pushing back cuticles;
- cuticle softener.
The photo shows how to perform a manicure step by step at home.
To soften the cuticle, a specially designed product is used, which is held on the hands for several minutes. After this, an important step is a 10-15 minute hot bath with essential oils. Next, you need to wipe your hands and push back the cuticle, which is cut off with tweezers or scissors. The final stage of this manicure is to apply moisturizing cream to your hands with light massage movements.
Advice! When removing cuticles, you should try to use the tool without leaving the skin to minimize the risk of damage.
European technology
Untrimmed manicure is a very time-saving, safe and painless nail care technique in which the cuticle is not cut, but simply pushed back. For this purpose, it is softened with special means. Then the nail plate is traditionally sanded and polished. The photo shows how a manicure was done at home on short nails.
The following types of unedged manicure are common:
- wet European;
- dry European;
- unedged hot.
Initially, the remnants of old varnish are removed from the nails. Using a special liquid that is rubbed into the skin around the nail, the cuticle softens. The liquid is wiped off, and the cuticle is pushed back towards the sides of the nail with a wooden stick. Next, as in the previous manicure technique, the nail is polished and sanded. At the final stage, massage the softening oil into the cuticle.
Secrets of Japanese manicure
Let's look at how to do this manicure at home (photo) using a special manicure set. This manicure differs from others in the well-known type of nail care with a healing effect.
Before starting this type of manicure, you need to take a 10-15 minute hand bath and apply a cleansing scrub
To strengthen nails, a serum is used to grow and strengthen the nail plate, which contains proteins, calcium, and pearl powder.
To soften the cuticle in Japanese manicure, preparations with her extracts are widely used. Once softened, the cuticle is easily pushed back and removed. The nails are covered with a special paste, then with powder, and polished.
A very interesting aspect of Japanese manicure is hand massage at the final stage with warm bags filled with medicinal herbs and mineral salt. And at the end of this technique, women’s hands will be treated to a pleasant procedure of applying a softening cream using massage movements.
DIY French
Today, French manicure (French) at home (photo) is one of the most common and favorite types of nail art. It is ideal for both short and long nails; it will be appropriate in any life situation and under any clothing.
What is “classic French?” These are translucent beige or pink nails with a white free “smile” tip (or crescent). But in today's practice, French manicure involves the use of varnish of a variety of colors to decorate the “smile” tip, and also serves as the basis for other types of nail art.
French can be easily done at home. To do this, first of all, after preliminary preparation of the nails, cover them with translucent beige, pink or transparent varnish.
After this layer has dried, a special stencil strip is glued onto each nail to create a “smile” on the free tip. The area formed above the stencil is covered with white varnish, after which the stencil has completely dried.
The final chord in the design of nails in the French style is to cover the nails with a fixing layer of transparent varnish.
Advice!If there are no special stencil strips for a French manicure, you can use tape at home and paint the free tip of the nail with white polish using a nail polish brush or a special thin brush.
Gradient or ombre
Gradient manicure (stretching on nails, ombre, degrade) at home (photo) is a unique and original nail art technique. Having appeared several seasons ago, it continues to enjoy wide popularity among lovers of extraordinary nail designs. An attractive feature of gradient nail art is also its effect of visually lengthening the nails.
The essence of this technique is a smooth transition of nail polish colors from one to another. The optimal solution is a combination of two to four colors of decorative coating to maintain the elegance and harmony of the manicure. This manicure can be complemented with drawings, rhinestones, etc.
The following types of gradient manicure are common:
- horizontal;
- vertical.
The most common way to design nails with a gradient is to use a sponge. To do this, the selected varnishes are applied either to a sponge, or to foil, or directly to the nail in strips adjacent to each other, and the sponge is printed on the nails several times until the colors evenly transition into one another.
Advice! To avoid the appearance of bubbles when imprinting polishes on nails with a sponge, the first couple of prints should be made on paper. It is also better to use a fine-grained sponge to prevent this problem.
In addition to the sponge, when decorating nails with a gradient, fashionistas use the glitter stretching technique, covering part of the nail painted with a single-color varnish with glitter varnish; thermovarnish; acrylic paints.
Advice!To prevent the skin of the nail from getting dirty when creating gradient nail art, you can stick tape around the nails or cover the skin with a rich cream or a special product for gradient manicure.
American manicure at home
American manicure is a unique nail art technique, the choice of successful and self-confident women. The peculiarity of the American manicure lies in the combination of decorative varnish colors such as red, rich white, dark blue, pink, burgundy, on the nails, which are given a slightly square shape.
As a base, nail polish is often applied in a discreet color (pale pink, white). Against this background, 3-4 red or burgundy stripes are created using a stencil. The American flag is depicted in one of the following ways:
- in the corner at the tip of the nail, a square is applied with blue varnish, inside which white star-dots are drawn;
- one of the nails is completely painted blue, against which white star-dots are depicted.
Advice!It is better to apply the image of the American flag not on all nails, but on one or two on each hand in order to avoid oversaturation of an elegant manicure with flashy elements.
One of the nails is completely painted blue, against which white star-dots are depicted. DIY Spanish manicure
Spanish manicure at home (photo) is one of the relatively new types of manicure. An unusual feature of this technique is the mesmerizing brightness and colorfulness that is achieved by using at least two colors of varnish to create stripes.
Spanish manicure is interesting and attractive because it makes it possible to combine varnishes of a wide variety of shades: from pastel, delicate, to bright and catchy, which, at first glance, do not match or harmonize at all. The Spanish manicure technique is an excellent solution for women with thin nails, as it creates a visual effect of lengthening and thickening the nail plate.
Two types of Spanish manicure are common:
- two-color;
- striped.
Advice!In the Spanish nail art technique, the lighter varnish should be applied first. In a two-color manicure, it is better to cover the nail a little more than half with the first polish, and apply the second, slightly overlapping the edge of the first to create the effect of density and lengthening of the nails. In a striped manicure, darker stripes are applied to a nail coated with a lighter polish.
Mini manicure at home
A mini manicure or simple manicure is done at home (photo) and is a type of manicure that is most easily done at home. A mini manicure takes very little time compared to other nail art techniques, so it can be considered an ideal option for busy business women.
To carry out a simple mini-manicure at home, lovers of this type of nail care should follow the following sequence of steps:
- hand baths;
- cuticle treatment;
- filing and polishing nails;
- hand treatment with nourishing fortified cream;
- applying varnish.
Advice! Treatment of nails with a file should be done with movements in one direction only after they are completely dry after previous peeling procedures.
This type of manicure is often used on short nails (photo).

Which one to give preference is the choice of each woman, which depends on her imagination, mood, character, life circumstances, amount of free time, etc. Each of the considered methods is original, irresistible and unique in its own way.
No matter how much you go to the salon, there will still come a time when you want to do a manicure yourself. And the point here is not at all about financial difficulties. As a rule, the main inconveniences begin on the way home from the salon, especially in the cold season. What does it take to button up your jacket without ruining the fresh varnish coating? For those who understand what we are talking about, we offer video lessons on manicure for beginners.
What should be on hand
First of all, these are sharp manicure scissors and a nail file. No woman's cosmetic bag should be without them. Try to choose a glass or plastic file; they are less damaging to your nails.
For trim manicure, metal tweezers are simply necessary. With their help, we will subsequently remove the cuticle. When purchasing, be sure to pay attention to what material they are made of. Surgical steel will remain sharp for a long time.
How to choose a tool for manicure and pedicure
Metal spatula we will need it to push back the cuticle. Some people use an orange stick instead.
We will also need various bath products. Which ones specifically are up to you to decide. These can be various oils, sea salt and much more.
Choose nail polish remover without acetone. This way we will damage the nail plate less. You can add a little glycerin to a regular liquid containing acetone and save your nails from dehydration.
Cotton pads (balls, just cotton wool)– indispensable assistants when removing polish from the nail plate and around. For more “jewelry” work, you can use cotton swabs. In stores you can easily find a special correction pencil. It's a pleasure to use.
We will also need cuticle removers, cuticle care oil, hand cream, base coat and nail polish fixer.
Bath
A bath must be done before trimming your manicure. In this case, you will soften the cuticle and be able to remove it painlessly.
You will find how to make a bath correctly on our website.
Cuticle removal
This stage always follows the bath while the cuticle is still soft. We push back the cuticle with a metal spatula or an orange stick and begin cutting. To cut it off, use tweezers or curved nail scissors. Remove any remaining skin from the surface of the nail plate with a spatula.
In the process of moving and cutting, try to ensure that your actions are as careful as possible. Otherwise, you may damage the skin or the base of the nail.
If you decide to do an unedged manicure, you won't need scissors or tweezers. Apply a special product to the cuticle and remove it with a stick.
Shaping your nails
Choose the shape you like best and get started.
If the nails need to be shortened to a decent length, it is better to do this with scissors. Just cut in one motion and do it confidently.
Afterwards we smooth out the shape a little with a nail file. In this case, you need to make movements in one direction, otherwise the nails will begin to peel.
Check that all nails are the same length.
Let's get to the main point
The preparatory work is over and we begin to create beauty on our hands.
First, let's apply the base. The base layer strengthens or vitaminizes the nails (depending on which one you use). In addition, it provides an even coating.
Let's start applying the varnish. It's better to paint the nails of your dominant hand first. And that's why. If you are right-handed, then painting your right hand will be awkward. As a rule, in this case the layer turns out to be thick, and the color, accordingly, is more saturated. Starting with your dominant hand, you can adjust the layer thickness with your second. Thus, the manicure on both hands will not be different.
It is advisable to start painting your nails from the little finger. This way you won't smear the polish on the rest of your nails.
Finally, you must apply a sealing layer to your nails. In this case, the manicure will please you longer. And don't forget to apply cream and moisturizing cuticle oil to your hands.
Doing a classic manicure
How to carefully paint your nails?
Every girl should have beautiful and well-groomed hands. Since it’s very easy to do a manicure at home, you don’t need to spend any money to always be neat.
Nail preparation
The first step is to prepare the nail plate and cuticle for further processing. To get started you will need:
- Tweezers, trimmer;
- Scissors;
- File;
- Scrub, oils, cream;
- Degreaser (you can use alcohol or face lotion).
To learn how to do a cool European manicure, you need to remember that the most important part is preparation. In this step, the old coating is removed, the cuticle is trimmed, the nails are filed and their surface is leveled. To carry out the procedure, you can use a special apparatus or several files and hand tools (they must be sharpened before use).
Step-by-step instructions on how to prepare your nails for a manicure at home:
- The old varnish is erased. Immediately after this, the marigolds are soaked in the bath. We recommend adding a little sea salt and iodine to the water - then the plate will become thicker and stronger;
- After 5 minutes of “soaking” the nails, you need to take out one finger at a time and check the cuticle. If it is easily deformed, then it can be cut. Using a file or a special stick, the peel is carefully brought to the hole itself, after which it is cut off. Depending on your experience, you can use a trimmer (for professionals) or tweezers (for beginners). The action is repeated with each nail;
- After trimming, you need to lubricate the cuticle with oil. Most often, spas use cocoa or shea for this purpose, which have excellent antimicrobial and regenerating properties;
- Next, the plate is leveled and the desired shape is given to the nails. For rough processing - shaping, hard tools are selected. For example, with diamond or mineral coating. For soft - cleansing the nail from growths and irregularities, more gentle - silicone or wooden;
- When the treatment is completely finished, all that remains is to degrease the surface and hole, remove any remaining oil from the cuticle;
- If everything is done, then the instruments must be sterilized. If the main work is carried out by machines, then they are disassembled and washed in a special solution. Hand instruments are rinsed in Chlorhexidine.
Photo - Preparing for a manicure In exactly the same way, trimmed pedicures are performed at home. After this you can start designing.
Unedged or European manicure is carried out without tools - it is easiest to do it yourself. The plate is cleaned of varnish and fat, then a special gel is applied to the cuticle. It is noteworthy that when using the unedged technique, you do not need to soak your nails.
After applying the softener, a few minutes should pass, then you simply move the skin closer to the hole. The cuticle is very pliable and soft. You do not need to use any trimmers or scissors to remove it. It can even be removed with an orange stick. All that remains is to wipe the plate with remover and cover it with a base for further coloring.
Simple edged manicure with regular varnish
The easiest way to do a manicure on short nails at home is with your own hands. In addition, it will look most advantageous on small plates. All points are carried out in the same way as written in the section above. After giving the desired shape and degreasing, the plate is covered with a base - it will fill the cracks and become a strong and even base for the paint.
You can make different types of manicure with regular polish:
- On the water;
- Gradient;
- Art design and many others.
Let's focus on the most common coating - it is very easy to do yourself and does not require much time. After the base has dried, a layer of colored varnish is applied on top of it. It must also be completely dry. If the shade is not bright enough, the surface is repainted.
To make the manicure last longer, a professional fixer is used. It performs several functions: it gives neatness, strengthens the plate, helps remove delamination and prolongs the life of the varnish. The fixative is often enriched with various vitamin and mineral supplements.

Lunar manicure with gel polish or shellac
The original moon manicure, which can be easily performed with both shellac and regular varnish, is becoming increasingly popular. Of course, if we talk about convenience, then it is best to do it with gel - it lasts longer and it is easier to draw holes with it. In appearance, lunar is the complete antipode of French. If in a French manicure only the tips of the nails are shaded with white (or another color), then in a lunar manicure the holes are shaded.
To make a professional lunar design, you need to prepare a manicure kit: these are accessories for trimming, tools for working with gel (removers, primers, etc.), and an ultraviolet lamp.
