"Sugar" manicure: ideas and ways to create nail design

Beautiful nail design is an essential element of the image of each girl. Based on this, every year designers create a variety of options for decorating nails. The nail, made by this technology using varnish with the effect of sugar, looks very unusual and visually similar to velor.

Neatly executed "sugar manicure" It has many advantages compared with the classical versions, for example, with a jacket:

• this design is significantly different from the rest - it looks incredibly stylish, unusual and more than original;
• Coating particles are used both for shaping the whole nail plate, and for the image of individual fragments, ornaments, drawings;
• This design solution is safe for the nail plate;
• subject to all the necessary rules, especially if the master did a manicure in the salon, such a design would please the owner for a long time;
• the execution procedure, in principle, is not particularly difficult to perform and, with all the necessary materials at home, sugar manicure is quite realistic to perform independently;
• the material is perfectly kept even when performing regular household chores, in contact with water, washing, cleaning.

The disadvantages include:

• when performing a similar nail design in a beauty salon, a check for a manicure will be quite solid;
• a manicure that is not fixed by a special finishing tool at the end of the process requires extremely careful wear;
• household chores should be done exclusively in gloves with voluminous decorations on the nail plates (although, in fact, the manicurists always, no matter what the design, recommend working in household gloves).

There are several techniques to perform such a manicure, you should first familiarize yourself with all, then to choose for yourself the one that fits best. The first method consists in the following algorithm of actions.

• Having done the easiest cut manicure, you should steam your hands in a herbal bath, pushing and cutting the cuticle, give your nails the desired shape and carefully dry each nail with a towel.
• Time for a protective base. When the base is completely dry, a little varnish is applied to the nail (or UV gel, if the manicure is performed with a lamp). Preference is given to soft shades: cream, pink, sandy, but sometimes they choose something completely opposite.
• Before the varnish dries, it is necessary to carefully, with a thin layer to cover it with sugar, waiting for it to stick to the surface.
• Using a special brush, brush off the extra particles, if necessary, to form a pattern, you can also use this brush.

The second method is suitable when using gel polish and a special ultraviolet lamp.

• Paint the nails with the desired color and paint the selected pattern. In the future, it will be sand.
• Carefully, sanding the ornament with a thin trickle with the help of bamboo sticks, we correct the grains that were not on the planned parts.
• Then the nails are dried in the lamp, special attention is paid to the thumb, where the gel usually dries the longest.
• It is necessary to complete the manicure with a few strokes of a professional topcoat to fix small particles.

If the classic version of sugar manicure already seems boring, manicure masters suggest adopting several of the following options.

• It is proposed to fix the sand not on the entire surface of the nail, and select only the hole or put on the tip. Do not be afraid of additional decorations when choosing a design manicure.
• No need to save material, as the result is clearly not happy. When choosing a velvet manicure, it is worth remembering that it is better not to save on sand grains in order to get the coating that will be as close as possible to what you want. No need to fear that fingers get dirty - they instantly crumble from the skin of the hands.
• You can also experiment with “sugar” patterns and monograms made in several color variants.

Ardent opponents of nail gels, who believe that they spoil the nail structure, will please nail polish, which is called "sand." It is ideal for creating a "sugar manicure", as it contains small silicone particles of various sizes. Due to them, creates a "sand effect" on the surface of the nail. Often in the composition there are sparkles that make the manicure festive and radiant.

Before using such a lacquer, it is necessary to shake the vial well, so that the particles evenly then lie on the nail. For a more textured and rich manicure, lacquer should be applied in two layers. And in order to smooth the surface, in case it seems excessively rough, the nails can be covered with a finishing fixer, thereby also strengthening all the necessary shiny elements in their places.

To manicure pleased his owner, It is important to adhere to some recommendations.

• No need to ignore the base coat, as well as pre-treatment of nails before applying: nails need to be processed and properly defatted.
• Use only quality products. It is important to pay attention to the composition, expiration dates, texture, whether the products are manufactured by a proven company, or whether it is a dubious vial with Chinese hieroglyphs.
• When using sand do not need to skimp, the tool is applied to the surface of the nail with a thick layer. For the best fixation, the powder is pressed down with barely perceptible touch.

Jerden presented 15 gorgeous rich shades that look unusual and quite interesting.

Further, Sahara Crystal from Dance Legend is submitted for consideration. Unlike the previous brand, Dance Legend occupies a niche of professional tools for creating a manicure with a "sugar" effect. The color palette is also pleasing to the eye, but here it is important to note one feature: nail polish looks different than in a bottle. And, of course, using this tool can not do without the use of high-quality base before applying color.

In comparison with the two previous assistants in creating a "sugar manicure", this option is much cheaper. The so-called budget option for those who want not to deprive themselves of the pleasure of enjoying a beautiful manicure, without spending money on the very expensive services of the masters of nail salons. It is important to note that even at a low price, this series of lacquers does not lose at all in the quality of its counterparts belonging to a higher class of products.
