When it comes to manicure, a large part of women prefer to use, in addition to conventional coatings, shimmer ones.

Features
Pearl manicure can not be called universal. If earlier it was considered an anti-trend, today its owner cannot say that she does not follow fashion. And the secret is to use modern manicure products. Previously, coatings needed to be constantly updated, because they were dimming very quickly.

Today, a manicure can stay on nails for up to 2 months. Moreover, if all the rules of the technology are followed, he will not need to be adjusted.
In addition, pearly manicure is demanding on the condition of nails. If the nail plates are poorly processed, it will enhance this anti-effect, emphasize the poor condition of the cuticles and wounds, if any. Among other features, one cannot fail to note the exactingness of the pearl material to the shape and length of the nails. He will demonstrate any discrepancy between adjacent nails quite clearly, and therefore, before applying varnish or other material, it is necessary to achieve the identical length of nails and cut lines.
As for the length and roundness of the nail plates, for example, short nails the mother of pearl will shorten even more, and flat - expand. At a moderate length, it will look great, but on too long, like, say, stilettos, it will give a dazzle glitter. At the same time, if your nail plates are elongated by nature, and the length is small, the mother of pearl will not spoil the look of the manicure.

Classic Design Options
So that the monophonic coating, which is called a classic, does not knock out of the bow, but complements it, the mother of pearl needs to be dosed. Say, if you want to make all nails pearl, you need to use the rub in moderately. If this does not work out, you can do with gel polish with nacre. There may be several options for classic design.
- For example, you can bet on the game invoices. All nails are covered with the same gel polish, and then they are rubbed into the powder, and the accent nail is showered with powder or broths.
- If you want to combine mother of pearl with lace, you can take as a basis the dark color of the varnish, add it with a rub, and at two or three accents, make a pattern and sprinkle it with acrylic sand on top.
- Mother of pearl in a manicure will look beautiful if spraying is made completely light, and for one or two accents choose stickers. Moreover, the subject can be the most diverse, both summer and winter, autumn, spring.
- You can paint all the nails with the same color, process two out of ten with a brush, and draw flowers on top and sprinkle them lightly with powder.

Nuances and techniques
In order for a pearly manicure to successfully fit into one or another image, you need to take into account the purpose of the design, the style of the woman, her age and available wardrobe details. To say that mother of pearl looks the same on the nails of a young girl and a respectable lady would be a mistake. It will also be wrong to completely fill with pearls all ten fingernails, bringing the mother of pearl to a mirror shine. Instead of delicate mother-of-pearl, nails will become part of the light music, sparkling every time the sun or ordinary lamp hits them.
The best design for a pearly manicure would be a combination of techniques.
- service jacket (both regular and inverted);
- lunar technique;
- gradient
- broken glass;
- veils;
- powder technology.
For rubbing, classically painted nails are suitable, as well as French manicure and gradient. It can be used on top of nail plates for broken glass and powder, but as for the veil, the effect of kapron requires dullness. At the same time, two adjacent nails (with a grease and a veil) look super beautiful and fashionable. The rest can be painted with matte varnish to soften the perception of mother of pearl.
Unusual Design Ideas
To design with a pearl coating looked not only status, but also attracted the views of others, you can resort to various techniques of decor. For example, you can cover the accented nail with pigment, then rub it in, and draw a pattern on top of it (roses, hearts, lace, monograms) and sprinkle it with powder. In this case, the remaining nails can be painted with both glossy and matte varnish.
A pearly pattern occupying some part of the accent nail plate will look beautiful and unusual. Let's say it can be the petals of a large flower or the wings of a butterfly, which is even more interesting and allows you to show a creative approach to decorating nails. You can do with a simple vertical strip, and rubbing it, you can paint it yourself or first a nail, and on top of the pollen draw a vertical matte varnish and decorate it at the base of the nail with a pair of small rhinestones.
One of the most unusual ideas of pearly manicure is logomania. It is not difficult to do it: on the mother of pearl or glossy finish they glue the logo sticker of a certain Fashion House, and then seal it with a layer of top.However, at the same time, the choice of varnish with an overflow should be thoroughly considered, because rubbing with a smaller fraction of particles will allow you to create a more modern and expensive design than gel polish with pearl sequins.
As for other new methods of designing pearly manicure, you can decorate it by emphasizing the cuticle area. This can be done with foil, rhinestones, gel dots, drawings. Mother of pearl can be used to designate a smile zone in a French jacket, as well as for stretching in a gradient. It will look cool if you try to create using the rubbing effect the gilding or silvering of the contours of a three-dimensional pattern on a black background. In addition, transparent drops look great on nacre.
