Design Features
Like all light and especially translucent shades. Milk varnish requires a certain skill. You need to apply it in several thin layers, usually 2-3 is enough.
This shade is suitable for nails of different lengths. A milky-colored manicure on short nails looks very gentle and quite self-sufficient, it can becombine with different designs, such as trendy geometry.
It is just as well suited for elongated extended nails: it balances the composition, smoothes out the aggressiveness of sharp forms. Gives femininity and tenderness.
Milky shades are also popular for complex designs. For example, for a folding jacket. A milky-colored manicure with a pattern can be supplemented with sinju pebbles, pixie crystals, broths.
Milk manicure with rhinestones and opals
Sophisticated milky background is perfect for active designs with expressive elements. Rhinestones, both crystal and opal, look very good on it.
To make this manicure, apply milk polish on your nails, drying each thin layer. Cover the nail on which the inlay will be performed with a base (it is better to use thick rubber). Carefully arrange the crystals, fill the gaps between them with bouillons of suitable color and size. Cure the work with a lamp, and then outline the composition with a linear brush dipped in top. After drying, cover the rest of the surface with top, polymerize and remove stickiness.
Trendy minimalism
Considering the most trendy ideas of milky manicure, one cannot fail to mention such a fashionable trend as a minimalist style. Today, such designs are at the peak of popularity. Their advantage is also that the implementation does not require any special skill, no special tools, or a lot of time. Just what you need for a beginner!
After covering the nails with milk polish, draw a few elegant, even lines on the nails with a thin brush. This technique allows you to solve not only design problems, but also practical ones: short nails visually look longer, their shape becomes more harmonious if the lines are arranged along.
You can also use self-adhesive colored tape. To top it off, the design is overlaid with a top.
Manicure Sliders
This is a real find for those who are not confident in themselves as an artist. Just choose the right pattern. On a delicate milky shade, thin black graphic images look very stylish. Special chic - white patterns on a milky background.
After cutting out the picture, lay it on a cotton pad moistened with water. After a minute, the film with the pattern will peel off from the paper backing and can be transferred to the nail. It is convenient to do this with tweezers.
To make the manicure neat. Do not rush to press the slider. Take a good look to see if the picture lay flat. Press the film to the surface of the nail with a silicone brush, dots or orange stick. Straighten the wrinkles immediately (if necessary, small cuts can be made on the film so that it fits better). Overlay the pattern with a thin layer of the base, polymerize in the lamp. Rate the result. Check if there are wrinkles or edges of the film sticking out. At this stage, this can be easily fixed with a buff polisher. The final step is to apply the top.
You can complement the design with rhinestones, small pearlhalf beads or opals.
Milky color as background for design
The choice of ideas for manicure in delicate shades is very wide. Small sparkles, flakes, gold leaf look great on milk. Such a background is suitable for designs in craquelure techniques, for example, for an imprint of crumpled foil.
You can set accents with the help of holographic kamifubuki, which are also very popular today. Translucent figures on a milky background will be clearly visible only at a certain angle.
Note that this shade can be combined with both a glossy top and matte options (velvet, satin).
How to make your own milk polish
If you can't find the right color on sale, or if you can't wait to try a manicure in a milky color immediately, you can get the right varnish with your own hands. To do this, mix a white or light beige gel polish with a top or base in a ratio of approximately 2:1. Do not get carried away with layers, the coating should not be too dense, similar to milk jelly.
