How to use metallized varnishes
Many varnishes have a metallic effect. The manufacturer offers a wide range of shades and textures. In this case, the density depends on the amount of sparkles that are contained in the composition. Use a shimmer for evenness. On request, you can purchase matte or glossy materials, they look different.
In professional quality lines you can find gels with the effect of sand, silk and foil. But they cannot be applied at home without an ultraviolet lamp. But if you have one or you work for clients, be sure to use the finished product.
The indisputable advantage of gel polish is durability. It is worn for two weeks, then correction is needed. If the master has been offering services for a long time, in his set there will certainly be coatings with shimmering particles, varieties of gold (black, white), mixtures with original and interesting blue, lilac, pink tints. There are products that change their tone when the lighting is changed.
The disadvantage of using gel polish is the complexity of application. It is difficult to distribute it evenly in order to hide all plate defects, level the surface and not leave small gaps. Therefore, next we will look at ways of using foil and rubbing, which are considered less time consuming.
Advice! The shape of the nails does not matter, so the method can be called universal. The trend is medium length and a rectangle with rounded edge lines.
Foil design
An extraordinary and fast method for creating luxurious overflows is foil. It can be embossed, sheet, thermo or in the form of stickers as you wish. In addition to a monochromatic coating, you can depict clear stripes, geometric shapes, patterns and other effects. To do this, simply cut out the necessary patterns and secure them with a top.
To create a flawless, even tone, use the transfer method. To do this, follow the step-by-step instructions.
- Prepare surfaces (shape, remove cuticles and file lengths). Apply base and one coat of decorative varnish.
- Treat the top with special pre-purchased glue and wait until it dries completely. It should become transparent.
- Place a piece of foil paper on the side where it shines. Press with a pusher or cotton swab. Pay special attention to the tips and edges near your fingers so that the entire film adheres and there are no gaps.
- Tear it off with a gentle motion. The pattern will remain in the places that were smeared with glue. If there is room left, reattach the foil to that area to print.
- When the entire plate is covered with glitter, secure it with a top.
Remember to apply with the matte side. If you can't figure out where it is, run a pusher over it. If there are traces left, then they have found it.
Advice!Combine rhinestones, sequins and sequins with soothing shades, otherwise the look will turn out to be provocative and vulgar.
The benefits of rubbing
The mirror surface, created using a special powder called rubbing, looks rich and stylish. You can buy it at specialty stores. The advantage is easy use. Even a beginner will be able to create an unrivaled manicure. How to use it?
- Prepare your hands for the procedure. To do this, carefully trim the ends and give them the desired look. Use a wooden stick to push back the cuticle or remove it with an emollient. Be sure to polish the plate so that there are no bumps and other defects left, otherwise they will be visible.
- Apply a thin layer of base gel polish to paint the background. Remember to seal the edge by lightly brushing over it.
- Cover the plates with a little colored shellac. It's okay if there are stripes and gaps. Dry with an ultraviolet lamp for 2 - 3 minutes. The top should remain sticky when decorating with glitter. Choose the tone depending on the sparkles.
- Using the applicator, brush or finger, spread the shimmery powder evenly and rub thoroughly. Do not be afraid, if it gets on your skin, you will wipe it off, and there will be no problems. In case of gaps, add more grains and rub in until you get the desired result.
- Dry the resulting result under a lamp, and then add a top gloss. Wait until it is completely dry. You can apply a matte texture to add some flair to the look.
Discard the idea if you have damage, irregularities and other defects. Even a small burr can hurt you if the powder gets inside.
