This type of manicure requires the frequent wearing of gloves: think about it a hundred times before doing it!

Nail masters advise using household gloves during all household chores: from cleaning plumbing to washing dishes. They help prevent harsh cleaners from affecting the nail coating. In addition, keeping hands in water for a long time is also harmful for the delicate skin of the hands: as a result, it becomes drier and ages faster.

However, getting used to doing everything with gloves is very difficult. After all, they are so uncomfortable and hot! But if you want to make a manicure with a matte effect, it is better to put up with the discomfort: otherwise, the money spent on the nails will be wasted.

The matte finish has a grainy, porous structure. This means that “alien” pigments in the manicure will inevitably get stuck in it – from food particles to the remains of household funds.

Latex, nitrile, regular household gloves – choose the gloves you feel are comfortable for specific tasks around the house. In the case of a matte manicure, the main thing is to protect the nails from direct contact with pollutants.

If the appearance of stains on the nails cannot be avoided, then an ordinary sponge or an old toothbrush will help refresh the manicure. Just take such a “tool” and rub it with a nail until clean. But don’t overdo it, so as not to remove the sub-zero coverage!

And remember: the faster you wipe away dirt, the more likely the matte finish won’t change color. This is especially important with light colors. You are left a bit speechless – and that’s it, the nails look messy.
