Gel varnishes with spreading effect

The steps of the modern nail industry are swift. Each new season of fashion gives its fans new trends, offers fresh solutions, introduces unusual novelties of materials. One of these types of raw materials today is a spreading gel polish. What is it, what is its difference from the usual technique of drawing on the nails "wet", how to use such a product - read in detail below.

Spread lacquer is a hybrid type of coating. In fact, it is a gel polish with an accelerated spreading effect of the working mass. A different kind of gel polish called "blooming varnish" or "varnish with a flowering effect." Such coatings are different from ordinary varnishes, as well as the technique of working with them has its own characteristics.

The technique itself resembles the principle of creating a drawing on a wet or undried basis. However, the effect of it is fundamentally different from what create droplets of gel or gel polish. Different and method of applying the material. Each drawing created by spreading lacquer will be individual. It will not be possible to repeat it exactly, because the pigment will spread each time in a new way.

The pattern spreads on the nail until it is placed in the lamp and turned on. This feature allows you to vary the pattern, waiting for the desired result. When the picture begins to like the master, you can dry your nails to save the design. After that, for greater effect, you can emphasize the contours in some places.

Due to the fact that the drop will spread at once in all directions, inside it will be more pigmented, the drawing itself will have a unique gradient effect. At the edges of the pattern, the color of the lacquer can be practically weightless and barely colored. It is worth noting that the creation of such beauty from a professional master takes half a minute to two, depending on the complexity of the selected print. It is no longer to draw this design, but to decorate it with rhinestones or with outline contour of individual elements.

The whole essence of the technique is to use special base coats for the design. Depending on the brand-manufacturer, they may have a different look and volume. It should be noted that some companies sell them together with pigmented products, combining them in sets. The price of such sets is quite high: 5 small bottles of small volume together can cost more than 2500 rubles.

In addition, each color set has its own name (for example, the brand Nika Nagel is Lady in white, Lady violet). Firms that produce analogs with more affordable prices (about 240 rubles per bottle) often offer basic coverage. And if in the expensive set the base is white, which is convenient and allows you to do without additional layers of the substrate, then the purchase of a transparent analogue allows you to significantly diversify the design.

Of course, having pigmented gel polishes, you can create spreading patterns on a color base in the same white color. However, a transparent base is an excellent solution, because the palette of spreading pigments is still small and includes only 12 shades. These are red, blue, lilac, blue-violet, black, light pink, crimson pink, fuchsia tone, as well as green, brown, yellow and white colors.

Spreading gel polish has a different form of release. As a rule, a large volume is different bottle with a base coating.It is packaged in bottles of 10 ml. This applies to both white and transparent base bases for design. Pigments produce a volume of 7, 8 ml and 7.5 ml. To draw this is enough, because the drawing takes very little product.

The spreading base type can be used with colored hybrid varnishes. Despite the fact that they do not have the desired effect, they will still spread, although not as much as special pigments from the same series with basic coatings. This opens up a lot of opportunities for nail design, because you can use all the gel polishes that are available. As for working with helium inks, the professionals point out: they spread out worse, and therefore it is often not possible to achieve the desired result.

One of the most popular topics that is suitable for spreading varnish, are flowers. However, they can be very diverse. This is a separate petals and flowers, and sometimes half-open buds. A flower can occupy some part of the nail or its entire area.

Using coatings with the effect of spreading, you can perform prints that mimic the texture of natural stones. Few can even think that to create malachite, it is enough to mix tones with each other, watching the effect they create in a matter of seconds. If you want something extraordinary, you can try to create a different abstraction. To do this, often used foil, as well as painting contours.

The principle of working with special varnishes does not differ from the standard technology of manicure with gel varnish. They also prepare nails, remove the cuticle and pterygium, if necessary, strengthen the source nail plates or increase the length. A mandatory fact is the need to use a special drying lamp. In addition, to increase the adhesion of the nail with all applied layers will have to remove the gloss from the nails and process them with a primer.

Under the design only need a base. And if you plan to create a drawing on a colored background, you will first have to use a regular base coat, after it a pigment, and then a special base with a spreading effect. The drawing in the making process is dried once or twice. It depends on its complexity and desired effect. After the base with the effect of spreading took the final shape, the image is decorated with rhinestones, bouillons, paint on the contours. The final stage of the manicure is to seal the design with the top.

It must be understood that not even the tiniest drop applied to the spreading base will remain unchanged. You will have to work quickly, because the slowdown is fraught with the lateness of applying paint and lines. Use for the design you need thin brushes of different lengths, as well as dots. As for the lines and movements of the hand, everything will depend on what kind of drawing the master has chosen.

If it is a rose, it is drawn on the basis of ordinary commas, surrounding them with the middle and increasing the size of the flower itself. They put a dot in the center and right there they take out the tail with a comma. Further a little recede from the edge of the sprawling flower and draw one more comma. As a rule, the whole process will take less than a minute. And because the paint is prepared in advance, dropping it, for example, on an improvised palette of ordinary food foil.

Lilies or irises paint differently. To do this, in the center of the nail draw a similarity of snowflakes of five rays, using a thin brush. While the pigment is spreading, and the snowflake independently turns into a luxurious and delicate flower with dark veins and a rich center, they draw in paint for other petals and create several more lines between the first petals with almost weightless strokes. They will immediately begin to spread, and therefore the master will have to quickly remove the brush and place the design in the lamp to stop the flowering effect.
