How to make a matte manicure with regular polish?
First of all, you need to pour water into an ordinary saucepan and put it on fire.
The next step is to prepare the necessary tools (don't forget the nail polish remover).
Next, carefully clean the nail plate from the previous varnish.
Using a nail file (preferably of medium hardness), give your future "canvas" the desired shape.
Paint your nails with regular polish. Do not forget that your "art" should be applied in turn, first on one hand, then on the other. This is necessary because the varnish will not become matte if brought to boiling water with a delay.
After you do decide to "steam" your nails, you should hold them over the pan for a few minutes. Then it remains only to repeat this procedure with the second hand, and the matte manicure is ready! Feel free to show off beautiful nails to your girlfriends.
How to make a matte manicure with a special varnish?
This procedure is very fast, in three steps:
- Cleaning the nail plate with nail polish remover.
- Her leveling and polishing, shaping.
- Painting nails with matte varnish.
Another way to get such a manicure is to use the fixer of the same name. This tool is designed to convert ordinary varnish to matte.
CurrentlyThis type of manicure is gaining more and more popularity. Girls complement it with rhinestones, stickers, in general, decorate it as you please. It turns out very nice, but the main thing is not to overdo it. Using matte varnish, it is better to make a manicure modest, with the addition of small decorative elements. So your nails will look more impressive than if you fasten a bunch of sparkles on them. Yes, and excessive outrageousness scares away guys.
The matte manicure is very beautifully combined with a glossy pattern of the same color. This coating will look no less elegant in combination with several variants of such a varnish, complemented by a sticker pattern (only glue on one or two nails, no more).
Speaking of complexity, we can conclude that a matte manicure is quite easy to do. The key is consistency and patience. Of course, the first time the perfect coverage may not work, but no one bothers to repeat the procedure several times! In extreme cases, you can seek help from video tutorials or a specialist who will definitely give you a great matte manicure.
And finally, a few rules for nail care
- Don't paint your nails all the time. Take breaks of two to three days (this will help avoid unwanted yellowing).
- Do not scrape off the remaining varnish with improvised means. There are appropriate devices for this.
- Always keep an eye on the varnish: as soon as it is peeled off, wash it immediately. In no case do not go out "to people", groomed nails canchange even the most pleasant impression of you.
- Dishes should be washed with gloves, not otherwise.
- Too long nails look vulgar. Prefer medium length.
- Regularly (once a week) do special baths using WARM water.
- Regularly clean the space between the finger and the nail plate - there is the greatest accumulation of bacteria (just washing your hands will not get rid of them).
Follow all the rules and your nails will be he althy and strong. And do not forget to visit a manicure specialist at least once a month or two.
