Neon nails can not be appropriate in the summer, when you want something unusual. Such a manicure looks great at a party or in a club, but it will not work to make it simple lacquers - for this there are special compositions. Designers offer many interesting options with which you can diversify your image quickly and easily.
Kinds
Among the variety of the proposed nail care products, those that are able to glow on the nails have become particularly popular. All such varnishes can be divided into three large groups:
- neon;
- fluorescent;
- phosphoric.
Neon and fluorescent lacquers are hardened on the nails, but their principle of action is different. For the first time such a manicure began to gain popularity in the 90s, when people began to strive for the brightness of the image and went away from the previously familiar routine. Today, neon manicure is preferred by girls who want to stand out from the crowd, although lovers of strict classics are increasingly paying attention to bright shades.
Famous brands are trying as often as possible to release new colors to the marketso that women's interest in their products is not lost. Affordable cost and ease of application have become the main advantages of such tools.
Modern developers together with the designers have created a decorative ornament for nails, which will attract others to him not only during the day, but also at night.
The difference between neon varnish and fluorescent is that it begins to play with new colors under the influence of a particular lamp. It always looks very impressive, especially when the coating is not monotonous, but with the use of various kinds of decorative elements. In order for the luminous coating on the nails to look exciting, it will need to be constantly charged near the light source.
The most popular and easy to use varnish is phosphoric. There is no need to keep the nails under the lamp, so that they then begin to glow, because this coating is self-charging during the day from simple daylight, and at night it starts to glow.
