Spa pedicure
The procedure is quite long and takes about 1.5–2 hours, but it is a real pleasure for the feet.
While the master makes a bath with essential oils, applies a fragrant scrub and massages the feet, you can relax and take a nap in the massage chair, leaf through a magazine or watch a movie. Peculiarities:
When the procedure according to one of the above options ends, you can get a classic edged or European unedged manicure. In this case, there are fewer risks if you choose the second option.
Elegant spider web nail design
If you are tired of the usual patterns on your nails, you should think about an original and relatively new solution - spider web gel paint, which helps create beautiful weaves on your nails, which are somewhat similar to weaving a spider web. The wonderful “gossamer” pattern is beautiful in any design, combining equally well with both a matte finish and sparkling decor. For mid-spring, such an unusual design is a godsend!
Hardware pedicure
Many of those who are in this position are wary of doing a hardware pedicure, considering it dangerous. In fact, this is one of the best ways to take care of your feet. Firstly, this type of procedure has moved to salons from medical offices, where many foot problems are solved with the help of special devices. Secondly, attachments of different types and sizes allow you to carefully remove the stratum corneum without touching healthy skin.
Peculiarities:
there is a minimal risk of skin damage, which depends on the qualifications of the specialist and the ability to handle the device. Not suitable for those with thin, dry skin or increased sensitivity. Often masters combine two techniques - hardware and classic pedicure, you can choose.
Manicure during pregnancy. Does the end justify the means?
When a woman finds out that she is pregnant, what comes to the fore is not her own beauty, but the health of the long-awaited baby. We will tell you how to avoid the dangers that await you during manicure. Especially during pregnancy.
Types of manicure, advantages and disadvantages of each
1. Trim manicure. Classic type of manicure. Instruments must be sterile.
2. European unedged, without the use of metal tools. The best option for a pregnant woman. In this case, the cuticle is not cut. The master shapes the nails, gently treats the cuticle with an orange stick and a special softening agent, without cutting. At the end of the procedure, moisturizer and cuticle oil are applied.
3. Hardware manicure. The master uses special attachments to cut off the hard skin from the side ridges and cuticles. This type must be chosen carefully. The master must have a good command of the technique.
There is a widespread myth about the safety of hardware manicure, which prevents injury to the cuticle, and the dangers of classic trimmed manicure. In fact, the danger is equal in both cases, because cuts and injuries depend not on technology, but on the professionalism of the master.
We recommend a European manicure for a pregnant woman. In this case, you are protected even from micro-wounds. The wound can lead to an increase in the level of white blood cells in the blood of a pregnant woman. This could potentially lead to hormonal imbalances. And if elevated white blood cells are detected in the tests, the doctor will send you to undergo a bunch of additional tests to rule out liver problems, cystitis, pyelonephritis and other diseases.
Shellac during pregnancy
Shellac does not contain any harmful substances that can penetrate the body through the nail. Harm is caused by tearing and unprofessional removal. Shellac is developed according to the 3-free formula and is absolutely safe for pregnant women! The 3-free formula means it does not contain harmful formaldehyde, toluene and dibutyl phthalate.
Can dust, solvents, or varnish during manicure cause harm?
How do harmful substances enter the body? You can also inhale through the nail plate. As a rule, the dosages of such harmful substances are insignificant. But a pregnant woman’s body is sensitive and there is a risk that you will react more strongly. Please note that the materials used by the master are from leading Western manufacturers, at least not from China.
Inhalation of dust from nails can cause relative harm. And even then only in case of prolonged contact with it, and therefore only for the master, if he has not protected his body with gloves and a mask. The client is absolutely safe!
It is important that the artist does not use acrylic when doing extensions. Surprisingly, this material is still often used in salons and, what is even more dangerous, by private craftsmen who want to save money. It is terribly harmful and dangerous. The whole house stinks so much that you want to run away. Super harmful thing. Therefore, if you choose extensions, then only gel ones.
Is it possible to get a manicure in the maternity hospital?
During operations, the doctor judges the general condition of the patient’s body by the color of the nail plate, because it reacts to a lack of oxygen by turning blue. Therefore, previously in the maternity hospital it was forbidden for women in labor to have a colored manicure. But no one will forbid you to do a neat manicure with a colorless coating.
A good master is the key to excellent results
What to pay attention to:
- Does the master use only disposable and sterile instruments (your health directly depends on this). To ensure sterility, the Maniqu.ru master takes with him on a shift as many sterile sets of instruments as he currently has clients. Each set of instruments is sterilized in the office. The package is opened in the presence of the client.
- Availability of a medical book, cap, mask, robe, shoe cover from the master. If you choose not a private master, but one who works for a company, then the employer will see to it, you won’t have to worry. Don’t be shy and ask the master for a medical book.

Problem feet
In addition to calluses and cuticle overgrowth, there are other problems your feet may experience during pregnancy.
Rough skin, cracks:
Unfortunately, a specialist in a salon cannot cope with such tasks, but a doctor can easily solve them. He will prescribe treatments and procedures based on your exceptional situation.
Corns, ingrown toenails:
Often bad, uncomfortable shoes lead to such consequences. To avoid such problems during pregnancy, when the load on your feet is maximum, it is better to choose shoes half a size larger. If the problem has become a medical problem, podologists will help solve it, who will also relieve problems with foot deformities, excessive sweating, hardened calluses and other troubles.

Can pregnant women use nail polish?
It is no secret that nail polish is made from chemical components. Perhaps for many the answer is “can you paint your nails during pregnancy?” obvious, but let's look at the heart of the matter. After all, science does not stand still, the production of all kinds of cosmetics is being improved, and preference is given to more natural and safe substances. Therefore, the main point is the information contained on the label: the composition of the nail polish. Regular varnish contains toluene, camphor, formaldehyde - these are quite harmful substances that may be undesirable for pregnant women.
Toluene has a carcinogenic effect when it is absorbed into the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract.
Formaldehyde is one of the most harmful components, because it can cause headaches and tachycardia. It weakens the immune system, which will not have the best effect on the development of the unborn child. The reason for the sharp, slightly suffocating smell of varnish is the presence of formaldehyde; it is quite harmful to a pregnant woman, having an adverse effect on her nervous system and the unborn baby.
Camphor oil may have an undesirable increase in uterine tone. In this condition, pregnancy may be at risk. It must be said that the varnish contains a minimal concentration of camphor, so there is no point in talking about an obvious threat. Still, future mothers should play it safe and paint their nails in a ventilated area and as rarely as possible, no more than once every 7 days.
To protect yourself as much as possible from the unwanted effects of decorative varnish, there is a special product - a base coat that protects your nails. The ideal option, of course, is a varnish from a series of products for pregnant women. It contains no harmful components, which means it is safe for the expectant mother and the unborn child.
The issue of removing varnish is also worth attention, because the usual “removal” contains harmful acetone. Therefore, pregnant women should use only acetone-free products. In addition to the fact that it is harmless, it also has a beneficial effect on the nail plates, nourishing them with calcium and vitamins.
Natural textures in nail art
In the newfangled manicure for April, many designers decided to focus on unusual designs in the “natural textures” style, which look cosmically beautiful and extraordinary on nails of any length and shape. “Natural textures” look best in designs with rich shades of varnish, and such a nail design cannot do without the “negative space” technique.
Nails spring 2020: geometry
For those who don’t like excessive shine but want something new, a great option is a manicure with geometric patterns. All shapes are made with neat and smooth lines to create a truly unusual and sophisticated nail art.
Stripes are especially popular this spring. They can be made either multi-colored or plain. The choice is yours. In any case, such a nail design will look modern and unusual.
It is difficult to spoil such a design with a large number of figures. Even if you add a lot of lines, you won’t get a tacky manicure, but an original solution that will make you stand out from the crowd.
Geometric design is an endless field for new ideas and techniques. Use a variety of subtle shades as a base and a variety of shapes to create a stylish spring manicure.
To obtain geometry, take special stencils or draw triangles, squares, etc. yourself. For more discerning ladies, experts will offer designs with origami prints. It will really look unusual.
Plant motifs of nail design
A real hit in the newfangled spring nail design in April 2020 will be nail art with plant and floral prints. Trendy designs in this style can serve as an independent design or complement an abstract, geometric, gradient manicure.
Kart at home
Pedicure using Kart technology is also available at home (if there are good reasons not to contact a specialist). In this case, you should carefully study the entire range of Kart drugs, using available sources - methods, videos, etc., and read reviews. The manufacturer insists that the procedure session excludes the use of other means.
The course looks like this step by step: First of all, you need to treat your feet with liquid soap, while actively massaging them. Then apply the peeling evenly to the feet without massaging. Wrap your feet in film. This will have the effect of moisturizing the skin, softening the stratum corneum and increasing blood flow. Rough calluses and corns require additional intervention with special Kart preparations. They should be applied only to problem areas and then “isolated” with film for 30-40 minutes. After removing the film, you need to remove the softened, rough areas of the skin, and then treat the nails with preparations in the usual way. The procedure ends with lubricating the feet with a moisturizing and regenerating cream.
Why remove your manicure on the eve of giving birth?
Indeed, doctors warn that you should not apply manicure on the eve of childbirth. Everything is explained simply: childbirth is not an easy process, and it is difficult to predict the behavior of a woman in labor. If she has long nails, then she can easily get hurt by them. Or deform the wall (scratch), sheets, appliance wires. In a word, it is unsafe.
Women in labor often clench their hands into fists (which is also not worth doing), and if she has long nails, then the risk of injury is very high.
Finally, manicure requires care and correction. Will the young mother have time for this? What will the situation look like when a woman in the ward takes out a cosmetic bag, from there a nail polish, nail polish remover with specific and definitely unhealthy odors? No matter how you look at it, you need to give up long nails and bright nail polish before giving birth.
Vitamins during pregnancy: 5 types of products
But no one will prohibit:
- Neat, non-flashy pedicure that does not require immediate correction;
- Short-cut nails with neat cuticles, coated with light or clear varnish.
Well, gel nails are not a beauty that you can’t refuse. They will take up too much time from the young mother. And, at least at first, it’s difficult to care for a baby with long nails.
