Features of the invoice
Today, matt varnish is a difficult coating. Masters of nail salons offer their clients decoration using hybrid varnishes. They are durable and attractive, they look fresh almost all their life cycle, which averages from two to five weeks. These varnish products are designed to work with a special lamp, under which each layer of materials used is dried on nails.
Opaque gel varnishes today have 4 types of texture for textiles. Their surface can imitate satin, velvet, velor or velvet. Such coatings look expensive and status, and especially attractive in sensual pink color. However, in order to manicure with a matte varnish was perfect, you need to consider some subtleties, for example:
- the surface of the nail should be perfectly polished, any defect will affect the texture of the coating;

How is coverage created?
If there is no matte finish at home, and you just want to do a matte manicure, you can use several techniques to achieve the desired result.
Matte top
For example, you can use the usual glossy pink finish and a special matte top with a velvety effect. As a rule, the technique itself does not change its essence: after two layers of pigment, a matting top is applied to the nails, and the coating is dried under a special lamp.
Performing such a design, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the topcoat will shade the pigmented pink lighter.
Acrylic Powder
Original texture with a frosted effect can be obtained using acrylic powder. In this case, the surface will seem not only matte, but velvety and spectacular. If you use a special transparent powder, you can achieve the effect of "velvet sand". Powder can be ordered online or purchased at a specialty store, working with it using the basic manicure technique.
To get an unusual textured effect, it is sprinkled on top, after which the nails are dried under the lamp. The remains of powder clean brush.
Dust
There is another way to matting varnish. For giving of the beautiful invoice use so-called dust or one more type of powder. As well as acrylic powder, it is economical and may have different tones of the color palette. However, it is not sprinkled on a sticky top, and distribute the brush, then dried in the lamp.
Grinding
There are cases when there is no matte gel polish or matt top at home.In this case, you can do otherwise: the effect of a matte surface can be given to the nails by means of a cutter or buff. The procedure, of course, will be done flawlessly by far not each of us, however, if you still manage to partially remove the gloss from the pigment, the coating will look velvety. After grinding, you need to wipe the nail with a sponge and treat it with a disinfector.
Starch
You can change the texture of varnish with corn or potato starch. At the same time, the surface of the coating will be beautiful and velvety. To achieve the desired effect, a pinch of starch is enough.
However, using this tool is not for gel polish, and the most common coating that does not need drying lamps. Adding starch will slightly change the saturation of the varnish (it will become lighter), and the texture will change a little.
Change the texture in the bottle
If there is a beautiful pink tone at home, which needs to be urgently turned into a matte pigment, you can do it using powder or even non-shiny eye shadow. In order for the coating to have a uniform texture, it is necessary to thoroughly shake it after adding matting agents. However, add powder or shadows need to be dosed, otherwise you can spoil the product that is.
