Colors and design options for metallic manicure

Metal manicure has become a real trend in recent years. It is done not only on special occasions, but also for every day. There are a lot of options. In addition, it goes well with bags, shoes and other accessories, in the same brilliant performance. We will talk about the ways in which you can create such a miracle on your nails.

Metal manicure can be muted or completely mirror. If the first one has been familiar to us for a long time, since such varnishes have long appeared on the shelves of specialized stores, then the second option is a modern novelty.

Many are afraid to do such a bright manicure because of its catchiness. With a competent combination with accessories, it looks very stylish. For example, wearing a business suit, you can supplement it with a belt with a metal plaque or repeat the shade of manicure in shoes.

It is used in a duet with gel polish. Manicure is very persistent and practical. If you have the necessary tools, then easily repeat it.

1. In a specialized store, we select the chrome powder of the desired shade.
2. Prepare the nails. We make manicure in the way that is familiar to you, give the nails the desired shape.
3. We apply the base coat and coat it in two layers with varnish and gel. It is important to choose the right shade so that the metallic looks bright.The best foundation is black or beige. It is not forbidden to apply the coating in tone. Just keep in mind that the powder will block it. In order to get the desired tint, it must be very bright and saturated.
4. After applying the second layer, drive the powder with a brush. The transparency and intensity of the metallic tint will completely depend on the density and thoroughness of the powder blending.
5. Cover with finish and dry.

To simplify the work, manufacturers in the field of nail design make ready-made gel polish with a metallic effect (steel). This is very convenient, since the master does not have to perform additional actions. A manicure takes place according to the usual scenario and is no different from the procedure for applying plain shellac.

There is one minus - the salon will have to purchase a large assortment of varnishes with gel, because it will not work to change the shade. Another drawback is that their palette is very limited. That is why it is more profitable to use a rub, as on different basic colors, it will look completely different.

Many masters have already managed to fall in love with this unusual material for nail design, although working with it requires some skill and experience. The advantage of such a coating is that in addition to the metal effect, you can additionally create a decorative effect of "bruising" (which is typical of ordinary foil). In this case, the manicure will not look careless.

If you want a perfectly smooth metal surface, then pay special attention to the preliminary preparation of the nail plate. The basic coating is able to hide minor flaws, it should initially be even and smooth.

After applying the base, select the color of the varnish. It must be chosen in tone with tone with foil. This will help to hide those "cracks" that form after applying the foil.

Next, apply glue for the foil, wait a bit, and carefully apply the material to the entire plate. The edges extending beyond the plane of the nail are cut off by sharp movements.

Another decorative material that appeared in the arsenal of masters relatively recently. It is very convenient to work with it, since it is not necessary to pick up the ideal base color, as is the case with foil or powder. The procedure is divided into stages.

1. We align the nail plate, removing all the bumps and flaws.
2. We apply the base coat, dry, but do not remove the sticky layer. We heat the film under the lamp. This will make it elastic, which will help to attach to the nail without unnecessary creases and air bubbles.
3. We put the material on the nail and straighten it right away. You can do this with a cotton swab or a regular napkin.
4. Cut off the excess edges with scissors.
5. In order for the manicure to last long, cover it with a top.

When there is no time for a full-fledged manicure, then you can use this method. For example, you were unexpectedly invited to visit in the evening, but you no longer have time to go to the master.

Mirrored false nails can be found in any specialized store. Today presented a very high quality and beautiful material. If you make a little effort and ideally choose the size for each nail, it will be very difficult to distinguish them from natural nails (or manicures with shellac).

For reliable fastening on nails there is a strong special glue. It will securely fix the pad on the plate. The downside is that it will be very difficult to remove it later. The main advantage of the method is its simplicity, and the short length of time required for a manicure. In addition, you can independently set the desired shape for the nails, since they can be processed with a file.

Just attach it to the nail, remove the top layer and attach the false nail. Press it firmly over the entire surface so that it locks securely. In the evening he is easily removed. You can leave it until next time.

To enhance or soften the dramatic effect of mirror manicure, you can use a certain form of nails. Consider the main types and the effect that they produce when coated with mirror varnish.
