White gel polish: design options and recommendations for use

Hybrid coatings for nails are easy to use and durable. They are unique, look fresh and delight the eye, allowing you to realize the most diverse design. Among the huge list of colors, white gel polish is particularly popular in the new season. Let's take a closer look at its features and techniques, through which with its help you can make unique even the most concise manicure.

White gel polish refers to the universal colors of the palette conditionally. It goes well with many contrasting shades, looks good on nails of different shapes. However, this color is quite demanding on the length of the nails. More aesthetically pleasing, it looks on the nails of medium length. It visually shortens short plates and flattens, which is important to consider when there is insufficient length.

This color is able to emphasize the features of the nail plate. This is bad for those cases where the side walls of the nail bed are not parallel. Strengthening the imperfection of the natural shape of the trapezoidal or barrel-like side walls, the white color of the gel polish makes both fingers and hands ugly.

The white color of the gel polish is beautiful, but rarely can do without color or neutral contrast. The fact is that in itself it does not carry emotional coloring. On the one hand, it is good, because the white color fits most of the items of women's wardrobe and many accessories. However, on the other hand, it is contrasts that help him acquire the right mood and high status.

White gel Polish demanding age women. If it looks good on the nails of young fashionistas and luxurious women, then aged ladies can use this varnish only as an accent (background for the design). This is explained by the accentuation of the skin, which with age, alas, becomes wrinkled and flabby. And the white color of the coating will especially attract attention to it.

White color is a full reflection of light rays. It is for this reason that many overly diluted tones are considered white. Thus, you can designate many different tones of white, for example, in the color palette there is a tone:

• pure white (without color impurities);
• soft porcelain (barely gray, glossy);
• frosty (almost white and blue, translucent ice);
• snow (slightly lighter than frosty);
• ivory (white with a yellowish subtone);
• milky (dull with barely noticeable admixture of beige);
• pearl white (pearly white with a grayish tone);
• sea ​​foam (with an admixture of beige and cream);
• flour (soft matte);
• coconut (white matte, slightly transparent);
• opal (matt white);
• moon (slightly lighter than milk).

Different shades of white gel polish look differently on the nails of women of different types. For example, for a winter color type, a pure white color and shade with a barely noticeable bluish undertone are good. Summer type need a soft color. Suitable and options with the inclusion of gray tones. Sharp white here will not look beautiful. In general, it is worth relying on the rule: the shade of white should be in harmony with the white of the eyes. That he will be the best for a particular woman.

Girls with the type of spring is better to choose the options of white with a yellowish subtone, as well as a shade of ivory. "Autumn" need white with the addition of cream or beige. This color type needs the darkest tones of white.

White gel varnish is unlimited in design and a manicure technique. It can be used for such techniques as classic, traditional or reverse french, moon design, gradient, veil, broken glass, powder. In each of them, he can look gorgeous, bringing notes of elegance and high status to the net. However, this will have to take into account the type of coverage, because it is often this nuance that spoils even the best design idea.

For example, choosing a classic manicure with a single-colored nails, it is important to rely not only on the decor, but on the texture of the coating. For example, a white color adorned with a light mother-of-pearl veil will look more aesthetically pleasing than a poisonous matt version, sharply conspicuous. Here you can pay attention to the matte varieties of gel polish with a textile effect. Without shouting about yourself, such options will significantly raise the status of even the most concise manicure.

In this case, drawings on any background can already be pure white color, so that they seem clearer. The white gel polish for the gradient can be different: a combination of shades with different “temperature” and degree of transparency is welcomed.

In addition, the white color goes well with color pigments, allowing you to perform a beautiful stretch both vertically and horizontally, and within any shape on the accent nail of the manicure (pedicure). It can be used as a base for the further application of acrylic powder, thereby creating the original volumetric texture of the nail. For the veil technology choose a translucent texture, "broken glass" needs a glossy varnish.

The choice of a particular contrast for a white gel polish may be limited by its “temperature” and degree of transparency. It is easier to combine soft white with a tiny additive of gray, this tone is more versatile. Regardless of the tone of white, it goes well with nude. In this case, the nude tone can be both light and dark, warm, cold, glossy, matte.

Being a neutral color, it looks good along with a black or gray tone. In addition, it can be decorated with silver and gold, as well as bronze. At the same time, the version of the pattern made of gold (bronze or silver) on a specially created black substrate made of gel polish or special gel paint will be especially beautiful.

When you need a background for drawing with gel or colored gel polishes, the coating is not sealed with a top.

If you need pictures in the technique of flowering, use a special gel polish of white color with a special structure. It differs from conventional analogues, because it contains a substance that accelerates the spread of varnish in all directions. This is what allows in a few seconds to create on a white background various flowers and patterns using similar pigments with a flowering effect. Their palette today is small, but this design looks extraordinary.

As for the actual manicure drawings that can be created using white gel polish, their subject matter is varied. In addition, it depends on whether the gel varnish itself is considered in this case as a background or paint. If it is used as a paint, they draw all sorts of lace and lace, nets, mehendi, dotted patterns. In addition, it is a great color for floral themes, various monograms. White lacquer performs contour strokes of created images.

If the lacquer is the background on the accent nails of a manicure, you can draw on it everything that the soul wishes, starting from simple peas and ending with complex artistic painting with drawing of penumbra. However, it is important to take into account the seasonality of design, which is one of the leading trends of the nail fashion of this season.

If it is autumn on the street, it is worth starting from a particular month, dressing your marigolds with a print with multi-colored leaves, bare trees, frozen puddles, the first snow powder. A winter design can even accent a particular mood, such as the anticipation of the Christmas holidays. These are deer, gifts, Christmas tree toys, garlands, snowflakes, knitted patterns.

White gel polish is applied to the prepared nails. First, perform a hygienic manicure, getting rid of the cuticle and excess skin that grows into the nail from the sides. It is removed by pusher and scissors or a router.After shaping the edge and leveling the nail, the nail must always be buffed, passing along its surface with a soft polisher to gently remove gloss.

Further, dust is removed from the nail, degreased and a primer is applied, followed by a base coat layer. In addition, each applied material is necessarily dried in a special lamp for hardening and solidification of the applied substance. After the foundation for painting is prepared, the nails are stained with gel polish. Given that it does not dry without a lamp, you can not rush and carefully paint over the nail plate.

To the varnish is not flowed over the side rollers and cuticle, it is applied with a thin layer. For half a minute after application, it will spread evenly over the entire area of ​​the nail, and therefore will not strip. Immediately after staining, it is undesirable to send the nail into the dryer. Since the layer will be slightly sticky after dyeing, do not touch it with your hands. To the line of color at the base of the nail was smooth, it should be painted on with a thin manicure brush.

Given that one layer is usually not enough to paint the nail, the operation of staining and drying is repeated. In this case, we must not forget to walk along the end of the nail plate, sealing it with the thinnest layer possible so that during the process of wearing it will not break off from the base.

After drying the second layer, you need to carry out the design, and then seal all the layers with a finishing agent (top). It is applied in a thin layer, evenly spreading over the nail, overlapping the pigment and design, not forgetting the end of the nail plate. After that, the coating is dried in the lamp. After 30 seconds after drying, it will remain to remove the residual stickiness using nail polish remover without acetone.

It is necessary to apply a covering correctly, without forgetting to use both a base and a top. According to the reviews of masters, it is important to carefully select the texture and background, and "companion". For example, the color “cat's eye” pigment is perfectly combined with white color, by means of which today they create a cosmic design. White gel polish looks beautiful against a translucent background using the “veil” technique. In addition, you can create a game of texture, using the design and matte and glossy gel polish.
