Modern nail service masters do not get tired of delighting clients with fresh ideas and the most daring design options. Fortunately, manufacturers of materials and equipment provide the widest choice, so not only those who have a specialized education, but also girls who do not plan to make nail art their profession can find what they need.
Our article will help those who seek to master the intricacies of manicure on their own. Consider several popular techniques and materials with which you can make a golden jacket.
The most stylish manicure
Many professionals consider French manicure the most elegant. Made in natural shades, it will be equally appropriate in a respectable office, in a gym, at a social reception and in a tent camp on the Crimean coast.
But doesn't that versatility make it too boring? Doesn't this design seem faceless and inexpressive? Not at all! It is worth playing with colors and textures, as you can get a lot of fresh solutions.
Shine of gold: eye-catching design for a special occasion
Gold jacket, of course, will suit those who are not afraid to be in the spotlight. Think about this designon the eve of the holiday.
A great occasion to decorate your nails with gold is a strict dress for a gala exit. A monochromatic outfit in black, navy blue, eggplant will look truly luxurious if you complement the look with a sparkling pendant on a thin chain and a stylish gold manicure.
But it's worth noting that of all the existing options, this design is rather whimsical. Gold does not forgive negligence and inaccuracy. Therefore, special attention should be paid to hygiene procedures.
Harmonious color combinations
Gold is one of the most "friendly" shades. It harmonizes with almost any color of the spectrum, from snow-white to slate-black.
One of the neutral tones can act as the main tone for a golden jacket:
- peach;
- pink;
- champagne;
- ivory;
- beige.
It's enough to make a radiant "smile" to make a simple laconic design look festive, but not too flashy.
If the task is the opposite, you can combine gold with a more expressive tone, for example, with one of the shades of red, purple, emerald.
Pairs well with gold and black.
Invoices
The choice of varnish is a matter of priority. Golden manicure can be glossy or matte, there may be inclusions of various sizes in the varnish: small sparkles, large flakes.
Gold can highlight both the edge of the nail and its main part. For the second case, even translucent options are suitable, and for drawing a “smile”, it is better to choose a denser consistency.
The golden jacket on the nails looks very impressive, made with varnishes of the same shade, but different textures. For example, the main part can be glossy, and the ends are matte.
Whatever varnish you choose, carefully read the manufacturer's recommendations before starting work. Different options have features, require different polymerization times.
Shimmer polish
This is one of the most comfortable materials. It does not require special knowledge, tools, labor costs. It is enough just to apply the main coat on the dried base, dry it, and then highlight the ends with golden varnish.
Adhesive applicators can be used. They will allow you to get the same "smiles" on all nails. There is another method - drawing with a special brush with a rounded cut. It is convenient for her to do a jacket, but before starting work, she should practice on tips.
Manicure liner
The popularity of markers is growing rapidly. According to many professional craftsmen and ordinary amateurs, working with them is easier than with brushes and paints. A golden jacket can be made in minutes.
Simply draw stripes, lines and any patterns with the selected liner. The marker itself does not need to be dried in a lamp, but it needs to be covered with a top coat.
Acrylic paints
This material requires skill and the presence of brushes. Colorsthere are many, they differ from each other not only in shades, but also in density, as well as in the method of polymerization. But the result is worth the effort.
With the help of paint you can make, for example, a luxurious black and gold jacket, decorated with a three-dimensional pattern. Thin lines drawn along the edges of the “smiles” look no less elegant and stylish.
Foil and the basics of working with it
Very beautiful gold manicure can be done using foil. This material allows you to get a spectacular uneven coating with a noble radiance and crackle effect. If desired, the foil can be glued and perfectly even, but most craftsmen prefer to beat exactly its folds.
Foil is applied to a special glue, which is sold in the same departments for nail art. In the process, it is convenient to use an orange stick. After tearing off the foil, the shining fragments remain on the nail. For a top coat, a glossy top is best, although a matte finish can work well.
Rubbing: features, principles of operation
Just a couple of years ago this stuff was rare. It was offered only by the largest stores for nail art masters, and it cost a lot. Today, many professionals speak highly of Chinese-made rubs, which, at a very modest price, give excellent results.
The rub looks like a fine-grained powder. The kit often includes an applicator (although many claim that it is most convenient to rub the powder with your finger). You can apply a rub on the nail with a pusher or a similar tool.
Read the manufacturer's recommendations, check which top is suitable for work (with or without a sticky layer). Remember that you can only cover the rub with a glossy top, matte is not good.
This material allows you to make a very spectacular manicure in gold tones. You can highlight the “smiles” and a couple more marigolds with a mirror shine (for example, on the index fingers).
Dry glitter
This material may look like a rub, but it behaves differently in operation. Sequins do not change shape, they are visible on the surface. Unlike glitter varnish, this option gives you much more room for creativity: you can independently adjust the content of shiny fractions.
For ease of use, many craftsmen mix dry glitter into the top, apply on the nail and bake.
Decorative elements for manicure
Gold can be not only varnish. Bouillons, kamifubuki, stickers, metal elements, rhinestones and much more can come in handy in your work. The choice is simply huge.
In the case of using an additional decor for a manicure, in which there are golden touches, remember the sense of proportion. The abundance of gold and sparkling stones can look gaudy. A few discreet elements are enough to set the accents.
For example, such a white jacket with gold does not look too pretentious, but if you add a little rhinestones or other elements, like the wholethe result will come to naught.
A few words about relevance
First of all, it is worth mentioning that none of the above options will work for an office with a strict business dress code. This design suggests a more relaxed atmosphere.
As a rule, it is customary to decorate nails with gold during the cold season. This idea is especially good for the New Year holidays.
It is worth taking care of a worthy addition. Jewelry with large colored stones is not the best company for nails with this design. But you should not rush to the other extreme either: cute rings with lampwork, clay and bone cabochons, inserts made of natural bone, ornamental stones, corals, as well as handmade wire wrap jewelry - all this will also look strange with a deliberately refined manicure.
It is desirable to avoid the neighborhood of silver. The best choice would be a couple of laconic rings made of gold or jewelry metal of the same shade. Jewelry with rubber will suit a black jacket with gold.
