Lacquer must be decent
Mirror polishes look so impressive that they are used in different collections. There are lovers of varnishes in blue, purple, berry tones. Regardless of the chosen color, you should, first of all, pay attention to 2 features:
- You need to purchase funds from leading manufacturers. In this case, you can be sure of their quality. If the low cost of the goods is indicated, then you should not be tempted and purchase such a varnish. The mirror shine will most likely not appear after using the product chosen because of the attractive price.
- Of no small importance is the composition, which on low-quality products is often indicated in very small print. In this case, you should try to read the text yourself or ask a sales assistant. The composition of the varnish should not contain the following components: toluene, dibutyl phthalate, formaldehyde. They can have a harmful effect on the nail plate.
The quality of the brush and the consistency of the product
Then you should open the vial and check if the drop stretches, flowing down from the brush. It shouldn't be. Good quality mirror varnishes can be identified by the rapid fall of the drop. It is in this case that the expected effect will certainly be achieved.
You also need to pay attention to the brush. Its rigidity plays a role, as well as a rounded or even edge. There should be no protruding bristles. We all know that a brush should be good, but we do not always have an idea of what kind of brush should be preferred.
When buying, you should pay attention to the fact that mirror varnishes in bottles are uniform. Stratification or accumulation of the silvery composition should not be observed. This indicates that the product was stored improperly, is diluted with something or simply expired. To avoid such troubles, you should purchase the product in a well-known store.
How to apply polish
To make the coating really high quality, you need to use a few tips.
- First you need to cover your nails with a colorless base. Thanks to her, the varnish lays down without streaks. In addition, the base evens out the surface of the nail.
- Then you need to shake the bottle with the main tool. This is due to the fact that mirror varnishes have a dense consistency.
- The first layer should be applied in a thin layer, stepping back 1 mm from the cuticle. Drying is fast.
- Then the second layer is applied. It also needs to use a small amount of varnish. Everything should be done carefully so that bubbles do not appear on the surface of the nail.
- The 2nd layer should be done in 3 quick and precise movements. First you need to cover the center of the nail, then its sides. In this case, the varnish dries faster.
- Then you need to apply a fixative, due to which the shine is significantly enhanced. If desired, you can do withoutfinish. But in this case, a beautiful manicure will delight the owner within 3-4 days.
Gel polishes
Gel polishes are considered the most modern. After applying them, you can forget about doing a manicure for a long time. After all, nails that are covered with gel polish remain beautiful for 2 weeks. This is very appreciated by girls who are constantly busy. If you need frequent cleaning or child care, there is nothing better than to prefer such a manicure.
Immediately after application, the mirror gel polish looks like a mother-of-pearl. There is indeed a resemblance. But after drying, the visible grains should disappear, and the nail should look like a mirror. When a monochrome coating appears, one can judge the complete drying of the product. And this procedure is accelerated with the help of a special lamp.
Applying a mirror gel polish
First, push back the cuticle. Then it is necessary to grind the surface of the nail with a special nail file and remove the resulting dust with a brush. Then you should use products that correspond to the line of selected products. This is necessary in order to apply gel polish (for example, VOG) exclusively on a smooth, dry surface. The sticky layer cannot be varnished. In this case, the manicure will be spoiled. After all the activities, a mirror gel polish is applied to the surface of the nail with a thin layer.
If the coating turned out to be even and completely satisfying to its owner, then there is no need to apply varnish a second time. With insufficientcoating density, it is recommended to perform a second layer. According to the technology from many brands, the mirror gel should be applied in 2 steps. In addition, many girls prefer rich color.
Regardless of the number of layers of applied gel polish, a very thin plastic film is created. It should be treated as an artificial material inside the coating. The fixer can be applied at the moment when the mother-of-pearl crumble completely disappears, and the film becomes invisible.
Mirror polishes look amazing. The only thing that is necessary is to take a responsible attitude to the execution of the manicure itself. It should be remembered that if flaws and irregularities of the nails are noticeable, then the coating will not add beauty. Also of no small importance is the basis, which must be of high quality. Either way, glitter nail polish can take pride of place on every girl's dressing table.
