Required tools and materials
To perform the perfect gel polish manicure you will need:
- drying lamp;
- top and base gel polish;
- primer and degreaser;
- gel polish base and white (they should be the same texture, it is better if they are the same brand);
- palette or foil for mixing varnishes;
- thin brush.
How to make a diamond manicure step by step
The first step is to prepare the nails for the design. They need to be trimmed, manicured, cuticles removed and the edges sanded with a file. With the help of a soft buff, the nail plates need to be roughened. Next, apply a degreaser to the nails, cover them with a base, sealing the tips, and send them to the lamp.
To perform a diamond manicure, the nails are covered with white gel polish and sent to dry in a lamp. Next you needpalette or foil. On it you need to drop white and colored gel polish at a short distance from each other. Just a little bit of the base color should be mixed with white varnish. With the resulting shade, they draw a kind of fence (a crown of triangles), stepping back a little from the beginning of the nail, paint over it and send it to the lamp.
Next, you need to add a little more base color to the resulting shade so that the new shade becomes a little darker. The next row of triangles is drawn with this color, staggering them in relation to the first row. The nail is again sent to dry in the lamp.
Do the same with each subsequent row. The final row of triangles at the edge of the nail is drawn with the main color, without mixing it with white. You need to try to place all the colors on the nail so that the transition looks more natural.
In the end, the nails are sent to dry in a lamp, after that they are covered with a top and sent to dry again. You can experiment by choosing a matte top.
When doing a manicure with rhombuses, it is not necessary to depict triangles of the same size as in the photo. To achieve a different visual effect, you can use rhombuses of different sizes. It is permissible to perform such gradient transitions not only with white varnish, the main thing is that the selected colors are combined with each other.
