What is the difference between apparatus manicure and classic manicure?

Manicures are an important part of nail and hand care, and choosing between different techniques can be tricky. Some of the most popular methods are apparatus and classic manicures. In this article, we'll take a closer look at how they differ, their pros, cons and who each is suitable for.
What is a classic manicure?
Classic manicure, also known as trimming, is a traditional nail care technique. Its main feature is the use of hand tools to treat the cuticle and nail plate.
The process of execution:
1. Removal of the old coating.
2. Hands are soaked in a warm bath with water or a special solution to soften the skin.
3. Cuticle is carefully removed with manicure scissors or tweezers.
4. Nails are given a perfect shape, carefully working them with a file to create even and neat edges.
5. If desired, the nails can be coated with traditional nail polish or gel polish.
6. The procedure is completed by applying cuticle oil and moisturising cream.

The benefits of a classic manicure:
- Easy to perform and affordable.
- Suitable for any length and shape of nails.
- Effective for rough or overgrown cuticles.
- Achieving a noticeable result after the first procedure, even if the manicure has not been done for a long time.

- Well-groomed nails and hands.
Disadvantages of classic manicure:

What is a hardware manicure?
Hardware manicure is a modern method of nail care performed using a cutter with different attachments, each designed for a specific stage of treatment. The procedure is performed on dry skin, without prior soaking. The key factor in the successful performance of hardware manicure is the professionalism of the master, his skills and experience with the machine.
