How to prepare pens before coating?
Girls who do manicures in salons should not bother with this topic, because the master himself will do the necessary procedures. If a manicure is done at home, then before coating you need to prepare your hands. The easiest is the usual well-known edged manicure. After the manicure is done, you can start applying the coating.
Some girls prefer not to cover their nails with varnish, because it quickly chipped. For them, a great solution would be to make a special nail design - red and white gel polish. This manicure can be worn for up to four weeks.

French manicure
French has been the most popular manicure design for a long time. According to many experts, the French manicure is versatile and is great for everyday manicure and for any special event.
The classic is a white jacket on nude nails, but modern fashionistas have come up with a variety of options. An example of nail design inred and white in the style of French manicure is a white jacket on red nails and vice versa - a red jacket on white nails.
Despite the fact that this nail design looks very simple, to make it even and beautiful, you need to try. From the first time it is unlikely to make a beautiful jacket. The most important part of such a manicure is the tip of the nail - the so-called "smile". It must look straight and neat. To create this design you will need:
- base coat;
- white and red polishes;
- fixing (top) coating;
- varnish brushes or French stripes.
The process of creating such a design is very simple and consists of several steps:
- After preparing the nails for coating, a base coat is applied to the nail plate. It is necessary in order to smooth out the unevenness of the nail plate, to increase the wear time of the polish.
- After the base has dried, the nail is covered with the main color in two layers. When the first coat is dry, apply the second coat and wait for it to dry.
- Now you need to start covering the tip of the nail plate. You can draw a “smile” of the nail with the help of special strips for a jacket or with a brush. After the varnish has been applied to the tip of the nail, it must be dried and covered with a fixing agent. The top also needs to be dried and, if necessary, remove the sticky layer with alcohol.
Moon Manicure
Lunar manicure is often called a reverse jacket. It came into fashion relatively recently, but has already become very popular. It looks very elegant and beautiful. Just like a french manicure, the moon manicure looks great on any shape of nails: from a soft square to a sharp almond.
To make a moon manicure, you will need the same tools as for a jacket. The technique for creating such a design is almost no different from a jacket. The only difference is that the “smile” is drawn not at the tip of the nail plate, but at the base of the nail.
Red and white gradient nails
Ombre is a transition from one color to another. This style is now very popular: in the ombre style, hair is dyed, nail designs and even makeup are done. In order to achieve a smooth transition, use two or more colors. The boundaries between these colors are blurred, and it seems that one color smoothly flows into another.
The first way to make a gradient manicure yourself is to buy a special device and use it to apply a coating. It is called an airbrush and is not cheap at all, so it is recommended to purchase such devices only for those people who decide to take manicure seriously.
The second way is to create a similar design using a regular sponge. This is the most popular and easiest way to apply a gradient manicure.
- To make this red and white nail design, you must first cover the entire nail plate with white and dry.
- The next step is to apply red and white varnish on the sponge and gently move this side of the sponge along the nail. You can repeat this step for more saturation.
- Next, you need to remove excess varnish from the skin and apply a top coat on the nail plate.
You can also make a smooth transition with a brush. To do this, you need to apply white varnish on one half of the nail, and red on the other. Next, you need to shade the borders of varnishes with an ombre brush and dry. For greater brightness, this action must be repeated several times. Finally, a topcoat is applied to the nails and also dried.
