How long does manicure usually last?

Before applying the primer, scrub the nail bed with a cotton swab dipped in white vinegar, so as to wipe off all nail polish residues, as well as natural stains and oil stains on the nail bed. After that, when the nail bed is dry, you can apply the primer.

Soaking your nails in warm water is actually bad for your nails, because the manicurist wants you to soak them to soften the stratum corneum and facilitate pruning, but the nails will also soften, the nail bed will swell, and then the nail polish will make the contact not fit.

It is best to let the nails coated with primer dry naturally instead of using any hot air or drying them.

Development history

Manicure, the ancient Egyptians took the lead in rubbing the gazelle's fur to make the nails shine, and coated them with foam flower juice to make them look charming and brilliant red. In an archaeological study, someone once found a cosmetic box in Cleopatra's tomb, which recorded that "virgin nail polish" was applied to the western paradise.

During the Tang Dynasty in China, it was a fashion for Han women to dye their nails. The material used is impatiens balsamina. The method is to mash the flowers and leaves of Impatiens balsamina with strong corrosiveness in a small bowl and add a small amount of alum, which can be used to dip-dye nails.

You can also knead silk cotton into nail-like slices, add flower juice, take it out after absorbing water, and put it on the surface of nails. Soak it for three or five times continuously, and it will not fade for several months. Manicure is not only a symbol of beauty, but also a symbol of status. In ancient China, officials also used decorative metal false nails to increase the length of nails to show their noble status.
