How to use a nail polish?

Today, rubbing is one of the most popular elements of nail decor in nail art. However, few people still know how to use it correctly in order to achieve the desired result. The material in our article will introduce the reader to the basic nuances of working with the runtime and tell you how to avoid common mistakes.

Rubbing - a special manicure powder with a fine fraction of particles. Depending on the variety, it can be compared with powder or even crumbly shadows. Someone calls it dust. The powder may have different pigmentation. When applied to the surface of the nail, it is able to give the coating a different effect, including all kinds of overflows.

This “pollen" got its name from the method of working with it: it is rubbed into a painted nail after a little drying of the coating in a special drying lamp. The powder is made of polyester, it is packaged in small jars, supplementing for convenience with a special applicator. Loose pigment may have a different fraction of particles, it creates a different effect on light and dark tones of the coating. In this case, the powder can easily simulate nacre, mat the work surface or make it velvety.

The rubbing is notable for the fact that in a short time it can create an even and high-quality coating, which many pearl varnishes and varnishes with a mirror texture can not cope with. It is characterized by durability, increases the wear of a manicure. In addition, the powder is resistant to ultraviolet rays, it does not fade under the sun.This allows the design to look fresh all the time, as if it had just been completed.

An important point is the fact that water does not harm such a coating. The powder itself is harmless to the skin of the hands, it does not irritate it even in the place of the removed cuticle. To date, there have been no cases of detecting an allergic reaction of clients to the rub. It is important to take into account the fact that absolutely any pigmented varnish from matte and glossy varieties is suitable for working with this material.

The disadvantage is the fact that you can buy a decorative product for decorating nails only in a specialized store or on the Internet. Someone considers a small volume of powder as a minus. However, powder is very economical, although we are used to the fact that there should be a lot of good. Another nuance is the need for some practice, without which it is possible to make mistakes in the work, affecting the quality of manicure.

Manicure dust can be very diverse. For example, today, in addition to the familiar mirror image, it is holographic and even pearl. Its original versions with the effect of glass and a chameleon are original. Few people know, but pigments can be combined with each other, thereby obtaining new effects or subtones.

The mirror rub was the first, the effect of metal or chrome was immediately appreciated by modern fashionistas. However, such a powder needed a black substrate, otherwise the mirror effect was difficult to achieve. On the light tones of the varnish, it looked completely different, and they rubbed it into such substrates not so intensively.

Today pearl dust is trending. Such a powder literally envelops nails with a weightless veil with mother of pearl. Moreover, it looks great not only on pigments, but can also be used for a jacket with a transparent coating instead of a background pigment. The effect on a transparent background is special, due to which even a simple manicure seems status and elegant.

Pearl rub is used for light, nude and dark tones. However, this variety can not convey overflow tones. Therefore, trademarks produce the so-called chameleon pigments. In fact, such a manicure powder has an overflow of two tones. They replace each other if you look at the nails at a different angle.

Finer grinding of the May beetle, apply it only on a dark or black substrate. The unicorn is characterized by rainbow overflow, such a powder has a very small fraction of particles of an almost transparent shimmer. Against a light background, it will seem tender, on a dark background it can give gold. Sometimes this type of master is called a "mermaid."

Aurora allows you to recreate the effect of the northern lights, it is characterized by the effect of flicker. By the way, it can create the effect of a bug if it is used on a dark substrate. At the same time, the price of such a powder is noticeably less than an elite powder. Prism is nothing but a variant of the holographic type. It is able to recreate a coating resembling overflows of gasoline in water.

However, this product, unlike others, is universal, since it can be used on a different substrate color. Other options include powder flakes. It is used in two ways, on which the effect will depend. This powder is also universal and designed for different colors of varnish.

The rub for nails is used in different ways, depending on its variety.For example, if these are flakes, you can not only rub them on the entire surface of the nail, but also spread them individually, making up some kind of pattern or, alternatively, imitating a peculiar gradient. In addition, the powder can be rubbed into all nails or used only for emphasis.

For example, it perfectly replaces a shimmer hybrid coating if applied to a white gel polish. At the same time, a short rubbing will create the effect of a light veil, and therefore the manicure will not look vulgar. If you do not want to decorate all nails with powder, you can use it to highlight accents. In this case, it can look especially beautiful on a dark basis. Today, powder is used even for partial highlighting of accent nail. In this way, create a gradient, decorate the smile of a traditional or inverted jacket.

In this case, you can use powder:

• in the form of colored or plain sequins on the base varnish;
• gold or silver chrome on black varnish;
• any effect for further decor.

As for decorating the coating with the applied powder, this application option opens up a lot of opportunities for the flight of creative thought. If in the simplest version it can be a contour stroke, then more professional masters paint gel polish on top of the rubbing, and then sprinkle it with acrylic sand or the so-called sugar. After removing the excess and drying in a special lamp on an accented nail, a volumetric pattern is obtained, from which a background with a peep peeks out.

Immediately it is worth noting that more often the rub is applied to a hybrid varnish or gel varnish. Such a coating will not only be the best basis: the material stretches perfectly along the nail and does not have bald spots, like ordinary varnish coatings. According to the rules, use rubbed on a not quite dry layer of the drying coating. However, you can rub it into the gel surface, which has not yet been in a drying lamp.

It is important to understand that no experiments with other substrate material will give the desired result, since it is precisely two methods that are the foundation of all work. It is necessary to observe a simple technology, as which you can consider the method of applying rub on gel polish. Before covering the nails with anything, they perform a manicure, removing the cuticle and pterygium growing into the nail. In order not to harm the skin, they try to use special preparations for keratinized epithelium. All excess can be removed not with metal tools, but with the same orange stick. Soaking hands is undesirable, as well as soaring them before processing and staining nails. In the process of preparation, the nail plates are subject to mandatory grinding. However, it is only necessary to remove gloss from them, since excessive polishing will thin out the nails, thereby becoming the cause of their fragility and fragility of the manicure.

After the nails are put in order, begin to apply the base material. It is transparent and slightly liquid, and therefore it is better to apply it with a thin layer. So it will not flow beyond the limits of the nail, and it will hold on better, providing excellent adhesion to the nail. Be sure to walk along the end of the nail, sealing it. Any hack work will cause a quick chipping coating. After the base is applied, it is dried in a lamp, and then they start staining the nail with the pigment chosen for the nails. It is advisable to use varnish with good pigmentation in the work. This will apply it in one layer. Instead of varnish, you can use gel, and it is usually applied in one layer.

Until the varnish is completely dried, glitter from the jar is collected on the applicator with a foam head and they begin to rub it into the nail coating. Someone does not use the applicator, but performs this process with a brush, other masters even prefer to work with a finger.Usually they rub the powder until its layer becomes dense and completely covers the original pigment of the varnish. Since during the work it is impossible to avoid spraying the working area, the table should be protected in advance from pollen by placing a regular sheet of paper or oilcloth.

When the desired result is achieved, the nails are dried in a lamp. Drying time may increase slightly so that the coating dries better. It may also depend on the type of varnish available and the lamp itself. After the varnish with varnish is dried, it remains to seal it with a layer of glossy top, dry it and remove the residual stickiness, waiting about 30 seconds after drying. The mirror effect is achieved by rubbing the powder into a gel or finish without stickiness. Adhesion will be better if the powder is applied to the gel without a sticky surface. Before using the powder, you need to thoroughly dry the nail. Otherwise, the mirror effect may not work, and friable powder rolls in grains. To prevent this, you can dry the base twice.

If there is no gel polish, rub on a regular varnish. In this case, the coating layer should be as thin as possible. The surface must be dried, but not completely hardened. They polish the nail generously with pollen and rub it until the desired result is achieved. The coating should look even and smooth. After that, the remnants of the powder product are removed from it and coated with a clear varnish for durability. It is advisable not to wet your hands for the first two to three hours after performing a manicure.

Unfortunately, far from always the end result is obtained as it was intended. And there may be several reasons. For example, you cannot use a top with a matting effect to seal a design. It is able to absorb shine and deprive the nail of a special effect.

In addition, in the process, you can not do without the use of a special silicone coating that covers the skin around the nail. It quickly hardens, at the end of rubbing it is removed, thereby the powder will not get on the skin, which will allow the manicure to look aesthetically pleasing. The use of silicone protection eliminates the need to use fleece and sticks to remove excess rubbing.

You also need to know that the rub on the nails does not hold for other reasons. For example, if it immediately took on spots, it is better to redo the design again. Ideally, the layer should immediately be smooth and beautiful. It is important to consider that the powder has a different size. The design is preferably done using a product labeled 1 or 2. If it does not hold well, it means that the drying time is not maintained or it is not enough.

A powder with a larger fraction dries faster, but lays on the surface of the nail worse. If it does not initially give the desired result, you will have to choose a finer-grained product. When pollen does not want to stick to the surface of the substrate at all, this indicates a bad sticky layer of gel polish. In addition, you can not ignore the stages of drying, because if it is insufficient, the sparkles can simply slide down, following the brush with the top.

In order for the coating to look more neat, when applying gel polish under the rub, it is worth leaving a half a millimeter from the base of the plate and along the edges. The powder sticks to the base more evenly, it will not protrude beyond the contours. If it seems that the rubbing is unreliable, you can apply a base coat on top of it to increase the strength, and after it the finish. Of course, the total thickness will increase, but the strength will increase. In order not to overdo it with the thickness, both base and top should be applied preferably in thin layers.
