As soon as women do not adorn themselves! Everything is used: clothes, hairstyle, shoes, accessories and well-groomed nails, of course. Aquarium gel nail design is a new way of manicure, which creates a transparent base and three-dimensional drawings on it. This method is only suitable for artificial nails, preferably gel nails, it is almost impossible to achieve a similar effect on natural nails. Aquarium design got its name because of the special technique of applying the image, when it seems that the elements of the picture are behind the glass in the water column. So they acquire volume, and the manicure looks just fabulous. Using various techniques, the master can achieve the effect of 3D, holographic illusion, imitation of art modeling or just a beautiful picture.
Gel Aquarium Design - Technique:
- at the initial stage, it is necessary to prepare the nails for extension (degrease and dry);
- the next step is to apply the first layer of modeling material to the plate;
- after preparation, you can proceed directly to the formation of the image, while it is worth usingdifferent materials: rhinestones, sparkles, pieces of mica, colored sand and powder, precious and semi-precious stones. But it must be remembered that the more voluminous the fragments used, the thicker the nail will turn out. The final touch is to cover the nail plate with a layer of gel and smooth out small irregularities, so it will become smoother and shiny.
This method of designing the nail plate can be performed using a single-layer or multi-layer technique. In the latter case, the second and third steps should be repeated until a full image is created.
Aquarium design has quite a few merits. Firstly, it is practical and, with proper care, will last more than three months, and during this time the manicure will not lose its original appearance. It has great resistance to abrasion and wear. And do not be afraid that you may get bored with the drawing - you can apply any varnish on top of it, and then wash it off with an acetone-free product (this will not harm the image protected by a layer of modeling gel). Another advantage is the ability to correct the pattern. The master in the salon can complement the image with details or gradually reduce it, leaving in the end an elegant color fringing like a jacket.
Aquarium design has only one drawback: when using volumetric decorative elements or multi-layer technique, the thickness of the nail plate increases. On the other hand, if the nail is made thicker, it will give itextra strength.
Aquarium nail design will be difficult to do on your own, so all lovers of fashionable and stylish manicure should turn to professionals. Only a specialist will help you choose the right image that will be combined with the shape of the nail (round or rectangular) and with your overall style.
