Many materials are used in nail design. Among them there are sparkles, which are called glitter varnishes. There are certain rules that apply to the application, they must be followed. Because sequins are not always in place, and if they are applied carelessly, they will spoil the impression of a manicure.
What are glitters
Glitter is a finely cut foil of various shapes and colors. The particles are large and dusty, they are called a shimmer. Although glitter comes in an abundance of shades, gold, silver, bronze and the so-called “hologram” are the most popular.
Glitter nail polishes are regular clear nail polishes with sparkles. Experts note that the effect of their application in one layer will be expressed slightly. Sometimes it takes about 3-4 coats of liquid glitter to get a thick glossy layer.
How to apply
One of the applications of glitter is to apply it all over the plate. First apply base coat, then varnish,and after that, sparkles are fixed on the surface. The color of the varnish is unimportant, as it will hardly be visible. The finger is dipped into a container with shiny particles, and this is how they are fixed. This should be done smoothly, with slightly swaying movements. This will distribute the colored dust particles evenly across the plate.
There is another way that is more economical and practical. The first steps are the same as in the previous method: the base and varnish are applied. Then, even on the wet varnish, patterns are made with a brush, which is pre-moistened with glitter UV varnish.
Application life hacks
An ideal manicure will turn out if you take very large particles in glitter with tweezers. The coating will last longer if a clear varnish or top coat is used. If the glitter is applied with a sponge on a base that has not yet dried, then the manicure will be beautiful and even.
Glitter Manicure Ideas
The main task of decorating nails with glitter polishes is to complement the image. Such a manicure attracts attention. It can be created in different variations. Gold-colored glitter is recommended to be applied to shortened nail plates. It goes well with a delicate pink polish. They should paint the nails of all fingers except for the middle ones, which are covered with glitter. In addition, you can decorate with round gold elements. They must be distributed throughout the nail plate.
One of the most popular is silver glitter, which looks great on medium length rectangular nails. Forto make nail art interesting, glitter varnish needs to be covered with only one nail on each hand. On one more finger, you can draw some kind of drawing, for example, on the right on a white background, draw half a turquoise snowflake, and put dots on the rest of the space with the same varnish. Paint other nails with turquoise nail polish.
Glitter gel polishes look good on sharp nails too. The design will be more successful if the nail of the middle finger is painted with a matte varnish, and a glossy finish of the same color is applied to:
- pinky;
- large;
- pointer.
At the end, paint the nail plate of the middle finger with liquid glitter of the same shade. They can be applied right in the middle of a narrow line or cover the entire base. For a party, you can take small gold sparkles that go well with dark blue glossy varnish. They are recommended to be attached to the hole of the middle and thumb on both hands.
Sharp long nails will be emphasized by a transparent polish with multi-color sparkles. They paint the plates from the ends to the middle, the rest is covered with a transparent coating. Any of the selected nail designs using glitter polishes perfectly suits different nail shapes and suits women of any age.
