Instant Manicure
You might have heard about instant manicure and you might have been wondering about what that is. Actually it is not like the ‘just add water’ products, but it is quite similar. There are several products that have this name and they have different effects on the nails.
The first product is an effervescent powder that has to be put in warm water. If your soak your nails. In this solution it will whiten and clean your nails in a few minutes. Its ingredients include plant extracts that are very beneficial for the nails. After you are finished soaking your nails will have a nice scent and the powder forms a film over the nails that will protect them. The tips will become whiter and the cuticles will be softer. All you have to do is to pour the powder in a bowl with warm water, soak your fingertips and wiggle them in the water for about three minutes. Then dry the hands with a towel or a cloth.
Another product is the BC Spa Manicure Instant Manicure that is said to soften and moisturize the hands and cuticles. It is best known for containing Dead Sea salts that will exfoliate the dead skin cells. It also contains natural oils that nourish, moisturize and protects the nails.
The last type of instant manicure is the one that refers to nail polish. The most well known instant polishes are produced by Incoco, Avon and Minx. The point of these manicures is that you don’t have to apply nail polish and then wait for it to dry. These are thin filmy layers that are actually dried nail polish and you have to stick them on your nails just like some stickers. They really are nail polish because when you open the package you can smell that distinctive smell of nail polish. This smell lasts for only a few minutes, and then it disappears. It is a lot faster to apply than traditional nail polish and you don’t have to wait for it to dry. The downside of these manicures is that it is possible that you won’t find the right size in the package, but there is nothing that a scissor can’t resolve.

Before you apply the nail enamels, you should remove any trace of nail polish and then you should push back the cuticles. Then peel the strip of the protective film and place the round end of the enamel as close to the cuticle as you can. Start smoothing the film, but be sure to start at the base, so there will be no air bubbles trapped under the film. When the entire nail has film on it, bend the excess and rip it off.

There are some women that use this kind of instant manicure instant manicure regularly and they say that it is very easy to use and it can be removed just as usual manicure, using nail polish remover. If you haven’t tried it yet I suggest you do.
