“Mirror” manicure with gel polish: new design and tips for creating it

Mirror manicure is one of the novelties of this season. Gel polish with a reflective effect will help to be in trend. It looks great both on its own and as part of the decor.

Modern manicure with a mirror surface performed using several types of coatings:

• metal varnish;
• shimmer lacquer;
• sparkles;
• foil;
• chameleon gel polish;
• rub.

The most effective and high-quality is gel polish. It includes particles that reflect light best. In such a manicure, everything is really visible, as in a mirror.

The coating is combined with any style of clothing and gives the image the most modern look. Nails favorably complement the chrome details of the handbag and shoes.

• The first thing you need to pay attention to when performing this type of manicure is the quality of gel polish. Brand manufacturers, as a rule, offer a good product of the required consistency, which should be sufficiently liquid. Thick varnish will dry for a long time, so its smooth application will become difficult.
• Important and proper storage of such a composition. The bottle itself is produced matte. This protects the product from direct sunlight, from which the varnish can exfoliate. The expiration date is also important. Of course, expired gel polish is not put on the shelves. But if the date of use is coming to an end, it is better not to use such a composition. When the date on the packaging is worn out, the validity can also be determined with the help of smell.A low-quality product will have a sour smell.
• The brush has a great influence on the coating. The hairs in it should be located often (thick brush), tightly fitting to each other. In the absence of these criteria, it is better to use a separate accessory of suitable quality.

Mirror varnish coating requires a smooth and even work surface. On this type of manicure, minimal irregularities and flaws in the shape of the nail are visible. Therefore, the implementation of such a manicure must begin with thorough processing.

The shape of the nail can be any. The main thing is that all fingers are filed the same way. A grinding file here is a mandatory attribute, because after removing the cuticle at home, often on the surface of the nail there are small irregularities. They must be removed.

Before you start staining, it is better to immediately prepare everything you need:

• ultraviolet lamp;
• degreasing fluid;
• basis for gel polish;
• color gel polish with reflective particles;
• topcoat;
• Napkins polyester (lint free).

After thorough surface treatment, it is necessary to remove the residue of nail dust from sanding. This is done with a degreaser. Then the nails should dry. A base coat is applied to the finished surface, which will help to even out the nail plate as much as possible. Dry the base well under a UV lamp.

Then you can cover the nail with colored gel. It is applied in a single layer and dried under a lamp for up to 3 minutes. To get the perfect shimmering shine, a second layer is also applied. After the nails are again placed under the lamp. And finally, you can apply the finish coating and carefully dry the manicure. So he will hold on for a long time.

To obtain a mirror shine, a rub is also a good fit. It is a fine powder with metal particles that, when applied, penetrate the varnish and give it an amazingly soft shimmer. This method is also good because the choice of the main color of the manicure is simplified.

The most fashionable areas of this style are nail designs with a mirror shine and with a metallic effect. The most beneficial on the nails look silver and gold coatings. These colors are universal, as they can not only compose an independent composition, but also perfectly complement each other, as well as other shades.

All-gold coating best emphasizes the tan, because it is mainly used to create a summer manicure. Silver metallic will be an appropriate addition to a bow in any season.

This type of coating creates unique combinations with other types of manicure. So, it is actively used as a vivid detail of the moon design. A small mirror semicircle at the base of the nail or at its tip immediately attracts attention. But when decorating, it is necessary to remember that metallic is better suited to cold colors, and it is better to complement warm tones with gold.

Trend geometric style provides a large field for creative activity. Here you can combine not only a mirror coating with ordinary varnish, but also add matte textures. Such geometric figures on a shining surface (if the mirror coating is chosen as the basis) look expressive and unusual.

Any ornate patterns applied to a mirror coating will also be effectively perceived. An excellent combination with a classic touch is the additional decoration of one or two fingers.

Unusually and concisely will complement even a strict office image of a service jacket with a gold or silver strip at the tip, which will become a stylish and simple decoration of the image.

But the design decisions of nail art specialists include not only the most reflective surfaces.Creating a moderate sheen with a small amount of rubbing is also welcome. The most beneficial such a gentle shine looks when painting not the whole hand in metallic, but only a few nails. The remaining fingers can be decorated with a different color, as well as complement with rhinestones, if the image is evening.

However, as in most combinations, in the case of making various additions to the decor from other styles, it is necessary to observe moderation. A manicure should not resemble a Christmas tree randomly decorated with everyone at once.
