Glitter pedicure design options

Despite the constant changes in the fashion world, a pedicure has always remained and remains on the tops of trends. For many centuries, women carefully monitored their nails and tried to make them as well-groomed and beautiful as possible. Ever since the Renaissance, beautiful women covered their nails with improvised varnishes from improvised means - henna, plants, insect wings.

Therefore, many women want to make a manicure not only on their hands, but also on their feet. This makes them even more compelling. And one of the most popular pedicure options is the application of varnish with glitter.

First you need to think about how you are going to apply glitter. You can buy lacquer with already made sparkles, you can separately apply glitter over the colored surface of the lacquer. You can paint your nails just with sparkles. On top of this, be sure to cover them with a protective layer, because glitter must necessarily be supported by something.

There are many different types of sparkles.

• Large. Their size is about 1 mm. The shape of the sparkles is very different - stars, hearts and the like. They are usually laid out individually on a sticky layer of varnish and are the basis of the pattern.

• Small. Their second name - "will give". They are usually used in fairly large quantities to give the pedicure brightness and beautiful shimmering color.

• Dry They can be of all colors, shapes and sizes. Sometimes there are sparkles with a reflective effect.

• Liquid. They are already available in varnish. But it will surely be small sparkles - you will not meet large ones. Liquid glitter includes all varnishes with glitter (gel varnish, shi-varnish and the like).

• Holographic. They are used most often against a dark background, since they contain a lot of light refractive particles. This allows you to create a holographic effect.

• Colored. They, unlike the above, are most often used on a white background. This option allows you to make your nails pretty bright and add festivity to your image. A large number of options and shades contributes to the choice of varnish to your taste.

• Foil. This option you can make yourself at home. To do this, you need only two things - foil and scissors. And the result will look simply irresistible.

• Glitter powder. This is a kind of dry sparkles: they should be applied on a liquid base, and then rubbed with a cosmetic applicator. The result is a smooth mirror coating.

• Glitter sand. This option is the smallest sparkles. The composition is very thick, it should be applied to the nails with a special spatula. Dispersed particles ideally fall on the nail and add shine to it.

To begin with, decide on what color you want to cover your nail plate. Treat this carefully, because different colors can have different meanings and cause different associations.

So, in turn, the first color - pink.

However, there are so many shades that every girl will be able to choose the right color for herself and get rid of vulgar subtext. Also think about your outfit. After all, a pedicure should be suitable for clothes, otherwise it will look tasteless. With flowers such as fuchsia, adelaide, light cherry, magenta need to be careful.

For those who like a calm and gentle style, amaranth, cutters, dusty rose, and terracotta are perfect. These are quite restrained colors that can reduce the diversity of sparkles.

The second in line is white. It is often used as a basis for something brighter and catchy. This combination helps to create a festive and elegant image. However, if you use glitter in moderation, then such a pedicure can also come up in an office style, enlivening the environment.

The black. Use it may be appropriate only at a festive event. He creates an atmosphere of solemnity. Spangles on top of a dark base create an atmosphere of magic and fairy tales. Therefore, gold or red is perfect with him. If you do not want your pedicure to look very bright and catchy, you can add a bit of dark blue to help dilute the abundance of black.

Red. This color will add life and energy to your image. If you apply glitter on top, this will not increase the flashiness of your outfit, on the contrary, it will dilute the brightness of the pedicure with glitter without reducing its effectiveness. Bright and deep red will help you look like a real vamp.

Blue. This color has a huge number of shades: from the warmest to the coldest. Pick it based on the already created image. It is important that blue is already present in your outfit. This will help make your image more harmonious. Spangles as best to pick gold or white. This will help make your nails brighter. Silver goes well with light blue.

Golden is a great option for those who want to become a party star. Apply gold glitter, either directly on the nails, or on a clear varnish. This will make the sparkles look spectacular and noticeable.

One of the most delicate shades - beige. It allows you to maintain the tenderness and restraint of the image, does not look particularly defiant and allows you to keep calm and elegance.

If you do not like the simple version of a pedicure, you can make any pattern on the nail plate. Of the options for how to do this, there are two main ones: choose one of the options described below or come up with your own option.

• French This is one of the variants of the French pedicure, which usually goes in combination with a manicure of similar style. The latter is a prototype for the first. Of all the changes, the main one is that the familiar white edge of the nail is replaced with a shiny scattering, which will add elegance and brightness to your image. The white color of the strip can be replaced with gold or silver - they will ideally be combined with any color, and the brilliant decor will only improve the effect.

• Lunar. This option assumes the presence of a small notch at the edge of the nail, which is painted with transparent varnish and decorated with sparkles. The view is quite unusual. But this oddity only adds to the image of attractiveness.

If you paint your nails in unusual colors, put a few rhinestones on top, this will add a spark and energy to your image, ideally complementing your evening or holiday toilet.

In order to convey the atmosphere of light warm summer days, you can draw on your nails a bright pattern of tropical fruits or seascapes. The summer mood is perfectly conveyed by the combination of several bright colors - each nail can be painted with its own color. But be careful with this - the main thing is that the colors are combined with each other.

Pay a lot of attention to your nails and try not to run them, namely: short enough to cut. It makes you more well-groomed and neat. And do not neglect pedicure for short nails.Paint them in bright colors or make an unusual ornament or pattern. All this will make you simply irresistible.

In order to avoid excessive variegation and not to overdo it with sparkles, you can decorate only your big toe with them. This will help make your legs even more beautiful and will not let you look vulgar or defiant. Densely apply spangles on the big toes of both legs, and paint the rest of the fingers with matt dark colors (it is desirable that they contrast with the thumb).

This type of lacquer will help you enjoy a more resistant manicure. The rest is the same as with ordinary varnish. However, be careful when applying gel polish, as it has a more liquid texture. Use a special brush.

Before you start applying sparkles on your nails, You should do several operations, since there is a special application technique.

1. Do not neglect hygienic procedures. Treat the nails and skin of the feet. This will help get rid of cracks on the heels, corns and generally make the skin more tender.
2. Give the nail plate the desired shape. In order to reduce the risk of injury to the nail or the skin around it, use a nail file with less abrasivity.
3. Carefully polish your nails and try to make the surface as smooth as possible. Otherwise, the glitter will not lie evenly and will only draw attention to all irregularities and roughness.
4. Degrease the nail with primer. It is possible to use both acidic and non-acidic agent.
5. After the entire primer is absorbed, apply a layer of base. This will help smooth out the bumps and align the nail plate.
6. After the base layer has dried, begin to varnish your nails. In order to increase the intensity of the color, cover the nail with a double layer of varnish. Be sure to thoroughly dry each layer and wait patiently for the varnish to polymerize. This is very important for a neat manicure.
7. After you have covered your nails with a layer of normal color, you can start applying the main portion of the sparkles and design.
8. When all the sparkles are applied, the pedicure should be covered with a layer of matte or glossy top.
