Metallic manicure has become a real trend of recent years. It is made not only on special occasions, but also for every day. Execution options weight. In addition, it goes well with bags, shoes and other accessories, in the same brilliant performance. We will talk about the ways in which you can create such a miracle on your nails.

Features

Metallic manicure can be muted or completely mirror. If the first has long been familiar to us, since such varnishes have long appeared on the shelves of specialized stores, then the second option is a modern novelty.

Many are afraid to do such a bright manicure because of its catchiness. With proper combination with accessories, it looks very stylish. For example, wearing a business suit, you can add a belt with a metal plaque or repeat the shade of manicure in shoes.

When performing it, it is necessary to be extremely careful and align the nail plate in advance. All flaws and irregularities on a smooth mirror surface will be clearly visible. Do not confuse! This glitter can hide all the roughness, the metal, on the contrary.

Chrome powder or rub in

It is used in a duet with gel polish. Manicure turns out very resistant and practical. If you have the necessary tools, then repeat it without difficulty.

  1. In a specialized store, choose the chrome powder of the desired shade.
  2. Prepare the nails. We make a manicure in the usual way, we give the nails the desired shape.
  3. Apply a base coat and coat it in two layers with varnish and gel. It is important to choose the right shade so that the metallic looks bright. The best base will be black or beige. It is not forbidden to apply and coating in tone. Only it is necessary to take into account that the powder will block it. In order to get the desired ebb, it must be very bright and saturated.
  4. After applying the second layer, we brush the powder with a brush. The transparency and intensity of the metallic reflux will depend entirely on the density and thoroughness of the powder feathering.
  5. Cover the finish and dry.

Gel polish

To simplify the work, manufacturers in the field of nail design are making ready-made gel varnish with a metallic (steel) effect. This is very convenient, as the master does not have to perform additional actions. The manicure follows the usual scenario and is no different from the procedure for applying monochromatic shellac.

Minus one - the salon will have to buy a large assortment of varnishes with gel, because you cannot change the shade. Another drawback - their palette is very limited. That is why it is more profitable to use rubbing, as on different basic colors, it will look completely different.

Foil

Many masters have already managed to love this unusual material for nail design, although working with it requires some skill and experience. The advantage of such a coating is that, in addition to the metallic effect, you can additionally create a decorative effect of “bruise” (which is also typical of ordinary foil). In this case, the manicure will not look careless.

If you want a perfectly flat metal surface, then pay special attention to the preliminary preparation of the nail plate. The base coat is able to hide minor flaws, it should initially be flat and smooth.

After applying the base, select the color of lacquer. It should be chosen to match the tone with the foil.This will help to hide those "cracks" that are formed after the application of the foil.

If you want to experiment, create a unique design on your nails, you can try to apply a varnish of a different color. Then create a shabby metal effect.

Next, apply glue to the foil, wait a bit, and gently apply the material to the entire plate. The edges that go beyond the plane of the nail, cut off with sharp movements.

Film

Another decorative material that appeared in the arsenal of masters relatively recently. It is very convenient to work with it, since it is not necessary to pick up the ideal base color, as is the case with foil or powder. The procedure is divided into stages.

  1. Align the nail plate, removing all the irregularities and flaws.
  2. Apply a base coat, dry, but do not remove the sticky layer. The film is heated under the lamp. This will make it supple, which will help attach to the nail without extra creases and air bubbles.
  3. We put the material on the nail and immediately leveled. You can do this with a cotton swab or a normal napkin.
  4. We cut off excess edges with scissors.
  5. In order to manicure lasted a long time, cover it with a top.

False nails

When there is no time for a complete manicure, you can use this method. For example, you were unexpectedly invited to visit in the evening, but you no longer have time to go to the master.

False nails in mirror design can be found in any specialty store. Today is presented very high quality and beautiful material. If you make a little effort and ideally choose the size for each nail, then it will be very difficult to distinguish them from natural nails (or manicure with shellac).

For reliable fastening on the nails there is a strong special glue. It will securely fix the plate on the plate. The downside is that it will be very difficult to remove it later. The main advantage of the method is its simplicity, and a short period of time required for carrying out a manicure. In addition, you can independently set the desired shape of the nails, as they can be processed by sawing.

If you need a manicure for one evening, you can use a more benign remedy. This is a double-sided special tape that repeats the shape of the nail plate.

Simply attach it to the nail, remove the top layer and attach a false nail. Well press it all over the surface so that it locks securely. In the evening, it is easily removed. You can leave it until next time.
