Holographic Manicure Design Ideas

Woman's hands are her business card. The grooming and accuracy of the nails is a testament to the fact that a woman is sensitive to herself and her appearance. And the use of fashion trends allows you to add an image of modernity and brightness. The latest fashion trend has become a holographic manicure - more and more you can meet it on the hands of fashionistas. You can find out why holographic varnishes have become incredibly popular, and how to use them, from this article.

Despite the fact that this varnish went on sale relatively recently, in a short period of time, holographic manicure has become incredibly popular. Previously, such varnishes were available exclusively in professional nail salons.

The crazy popularity of such a nail design is understandable - this is due to the interesting visual effect that is obtained by mixing several colors.

Holographic lacquer has several characteristic features that are peculiar only to him.

• In order to obtain such a coating, manufacturers mix several different shades and mix in a special substance called holographic powder. A closer look reveals that it is a powdery composition with extremely small shiny particles.

• Holographic varnish has the interesting property of changing its shade - that is why many manufacturers of varnishes make a note with the inscription "chameleon". A similar effect can be seen when changing ambient lighting. Lacquer intensity and color can change dramatically.For example, a holographic varnish, the predominant color of which is green, under different lighting conditions can become turquoise or saturated blue.

• This coating, perhaps, has the most extensive color palette. Due to the fact that holography in manicure is becoming increasingly popular, this coating encourages manufacturers to create new holographic design options.

Like any other nail polish, a holographic manicure has both positive and negative sides. Among the shortcomings, we can distinguish some of the positions described below.

• Despite the moisture resistance of the coating, a holographic manicure, as a rule, acquires chips already on the fourth or fifth day after application to the nails. The whole fault is caused by minor mechanical damage that a person suffers when interacting with various substances or aggressive chemicals (for example, when cleaning).
• Depending on how much holographic powder was added to the composition by the manufacturer, how many layers were applied to the nail plate, the removal of such a coating can take quite a long period of time. This is due to the fact that the smallest particles of sparkles interfere with the action of nail polish remover.

• Only holders of well-groomed nails can afford a holographic manicure. On sick nail plates, which most often have a wavy shape, a similar manicure will give out all the flaws of the nails.

However, the advantages of such a nail coating is still greater. The most significant thing is that this is a fairly simple procedure that almost any woman can handle on her own at home. But if necessary, you can use the services of a specialist nail service, which will offer a suitable shade, emphasizing the pens favorably.

Since this option of manicure is extremely popular, you can easily find the necessary shade in your city. The ability to get a truly unique coating on your nails is another plus of holographic varnish.

As mentioned earlier, with this coating it is almost impossible to overdo it, so you can safely add sparkles, rhinestones and other decorative ornaments.

For those who decide to perform a holographic manicure on their own at home, it will be useful to familiarize themselves with a few recommendations from nail service specialists. Following them, you can get not only beautiful and well-groomed nails, but also significantly extend their resistance to various external damages, because the key to long-lasting coverage is a high-quality and smooth nail plate.

First you need to prepare the necessary manicure accessories. It is worth doing this in advance so as not to be distracted later.

Then you need to prepare a special hand bath with warm water. You need to take a small bucket or basin and add in it the essential oil of lemon or sea salt. You will also need a soft towel, a base for varnish and, in fact, the holographic varnish itself in the required shade.

After preparing the tools, you can proceed to the procedure itself. You should lower your hands in the prepared bath for 10-15 minutes.

Then the nail plate is cleaned of the old coating and cuticle. In order for the cuticle removal process to be less painful, you need to use a special cream.Its convenience lies in the fact that after applying the composition to the nail, the excess skin around the nail softens. By moving it away, you can easily cut the cuticle.

For a holographic manicure, a base for varnish is required, this will not only smooth the surface of the nail plate, but also allow the tool to better grasp. Be sure to wait until the base completely dries under the varnish. As a rule, this takes no more than 4-5 minutes. Only after all the procedures have been completed can you start applying holographic varnish.

If you want to use additional decorative ornaments, it is better to use tweezers with special sharp tweezers. Also, for better bonding with a coating, you can apply sparkles and rhinestones to the varnish that has not yet had time to dry. The final step will be the application of a special fixing agent. As a rule, it gives a glossy effect to the nails, which looks very nice in tandem with a holographic coating.

Such varnish can be applied in two or three layers. Each applied layer gives a richer shade and lasting coating. Also, do not forget that it should dry well.

It is worth mentioning that after a completed holographic manicure, the first interaction with water should occur in no less than 15-30 minutes. However, some varnishes, which contain holographic powder, require a longer time. If this interval is not observed, then the coating on the nails will begin to chip and become covered with blisters.

An interesting solution is imitation of precious metal. In order to get such a manicure, varnishes in grayish, gold or platinum shades will be required. In this case, it is better to refuse additional decoration, since the shade itself will certainly cause admiration of others. Such a manicure will perfectly fit into the image for a business meeting or attending a chic evening event.

Another interesting design option using this varnish is the chameleon coating. In order to make such a manicure, it will be necessary to strengthen the iridescent effect of the holographic varnish. As a rule, it has a barely visible shade and is intended to create a thin coating on the main varnish. The result is beautiful overflows in bright light.
