How to make at home?
Before you decide to make a transparent coating at home, you need to explore some of its features. This is necessary in order to be able to choose a better coverage.
- As part of this varnish must be a filmmaker. It helps to better harden such a coating, and also prevents the appearance of chips.
- In addition, another important component is the photoinitiator. He is responsible for the absorption of ultraviolet radiation.
- Also, different thinners or particles should be included in the composition, which contribute to better fixation of varnish on the nails.
- Clear varnish has a very different consistency. It is also worth paying attention to.
When all the features are studied, you can buy lacquer, taking into account all these points, and proceed to the manicure. An independent manicure will also save a little time, which would be spent on a trip to the salon, as well as money.
First you need to degrease the entire nail plate. And also remove all remnants of the previous varnish. This can be done with a cotton pad or cloth. If before this coating was made using a colored lacquer, and it was not possible to completely remove the color, you can do it with a toothpaste and toothbrush. And only after that you can start applying the varnish.
The easiest thing to do at home is to make glitter coating. For this you will need to apply varnish on the nail plate and evenly distribute it. After that, dry glitter must be with a brush to distribute on the very edge of the nail. At the end, apply another layer of clear varnish. This will fix the picture well.
To further simplify this process, you can combine dry glitter with clear varnish and mix everything well. Spangles can be taken in different sizes. Most of all large, a little smaller medium and quite a bit of dust-like sparkles.
In addition, it is not entirely difficult to make a French manicure. To do this, apply a clear varnish on the nail. It is necessary to apply in 2 layers. After it hardens, you can draw a tip of the nail with a white or other varnish with a very thin brush.
The result should be a smile, which is the hallmark of french. At the end, be sure to apply a layer of fixative, so that the manicure lasts longer. If it is necessary for the varnish to dry a little faster, then you can put your hand straight in cold water.
What to replace colorless varnish?
Clear varnish is a universal thing. However, often at the right moment it is not at hand. So you have to think about how to replace it. The best alternative is a well-made manicure with a polishing file. If you approach this issue carefully, then the result may surprise the most picky masters. After all, polished nails will also shine like nails with a colorless coating. In addition, they will look neat and well-groomed.
Of course, you can play with different shades. To do this, a transparent lacquer with a delicate pink shade of the same color as the nail plate will do. This option can be used in cases where the nail plate has a yellowish color. In this case, the nails will look brighter.
Reviews

In addition, this coating can be used for different cases. Some make it as a base for a different tone, while others use it to create various unusual compositions. After all, if you decorate some bright nails with bright prints and inserts, then all this will look too coarse. And with a transparent base, everything turns out as neatly as possible.
