Metallic manicure colors and design options

Metallic manicure has become a real trend in recent years. It is made not only on special occasions, but also for every day. There are a lot of options. Plus, it goes well with bags, shoes and other accessories in the same shiny finish. We will talk about how you can create such a miracle on your nails.

Metallic manicure can be muted or completely mirrored. If the first one has been familiar to us for a long time, since such varnishes have long appeared on the shelves of specialized stores, then the second option is a modern novelty.

Many people are afraid to do such a bright manicure because of its catchiness. When properly combined with accessories, it looks very stylish. For example, putting on a business suit, you can complement it with a belt with a metal plaque or repeat the shade of a manicure in shoes.

It is used in a duet with gel polish. The manicure is very durable and practical. If you have the necessary tools, then easily repeat it.

1. In a specialized store, choose a chrome powder of the desired shade.
2. Preparing the nails. We decorate the manicure in the usual way for you, give the nails the desired shape.
3. We apply a base coat and cover it in two layers with varnish and gel. It is important to choose the right shade so that the metallic looks bright.The best base will be black or beige. It is not forbidden to apply the coating in tone. Just keep in mind that the powder will cover it. In order to get the desired ebb, it must be very bright and saturated.
4. After applying the second layer, use a brush to drive in the powder. The transparency and intensity of the metallic sheen will depend entirely on the density and thoroughness of shading the powder.
5. Cover with finish and dry.

To simplify the work, manufacturers in the field of nail design make a ready-made gel polish with a metallic effect (steel). This is very convenient, since the wizard does not have to perform additional actions. Manicure follows the usual scenario and is no different from the procedure for applying plain shellac.

There is one minus - the salon will have to purchase a large assortment of varnishes with gel, because it will not work to change the shade. Another drawback is that their palette is very limited. That is why it is more profitable to use rubbing, since it will look completely different on different base colors.

Many masters have already fallen in love with this unusual material for nail design, although working with it requires some skill and experience. The advantage of such a coating is that in addition to the metallic effect, you can additionally create a decorative "wrinkle" effect (which is also typical for ordinary foil). At the same time, the manicure will not look casual.

If you want a perfectly flat metal surface, then pay special attention to the preliminary preparation of the nail plate. The base coat is able to hide minor imperfections; it should initially be even and smooth.

After applying the base, match the color of the varnish. It must be chosen to match the foil. This will help to hide those "cracks" that form after applying the foil.

Next, we apply foil glue, wait a bit, and carefully apply the material to the entire plate. The edges extending beyond the plane of the nail are cut off with sharp movements.

Another decorative material that appeared in the arsenal of masters relatively recently. It is very convenient to work with it, since you do not need to pick the perfect base color, as is the case with foil or powder. The procedure is divided into stages.

1. We align the nail plate, removing all irregularities and imperfections.
2. Apply a base coat, dry, but do not remove the sticky layer. We warm up the film under the lamp. This will make it elastic, which will help to attach to the nail without unnecessary creases and air bubbles.
3. We apply the material to the nail and level it right away. This can be done with a cotton swab or a regular napkin.
4. Cut off the extra edges with scissors.
5. In order for the manicure to last a long time, cover it with a top.

When there is no time for a full-fledged manicure, then you can use this method. For example, you were unexpectedly invited to visit in the evening, and you no longer have time to go to the master.

Mirror-finish false nails can be found at any specialty store. Very high quality and beautiful material is presented today. If you put in a little effort and choose the perfect size for each nail, it will be very difficult to distinguish them from natural nails (or a manicure with shellac).

For a secure attachment to the nails, there is a strong special glue. It will securely fix the pad on the plate. The downside is that it will be very difficult to remove it later. The main advantage of the method is its simplicity, and a short period of time required for a manicure. In addition, you can independently set the desired shape for the nails, since they can be processed with a file.

Just stick it onto your nail, remove the top coat, and attach the false nail. Press it well over the entire surface so that it fits securely. It can be easily removed in the evening. You can leave it until next time.

To enhance or soften the dramatic effect of a mirror manicure, you can use a certain shape of the nails. Consider the main types and the effect they produce when coated with mirror varnish.

A classic uniform that will suit both a business woman and a young beauty - a student. The metallic effect will look quite understated and stylish.

This form is also called "pointe shoes". Since in shape it is very similar to this ballerina's accessory. With straight edges, they taper slightly at the end. The edge has a straight cut. It cannot be said that this is a popular form. It is more suitable for self-confident and extravagant personalities, especially in such a bright performance as metallic.

Very soft and laconic shape. Even a daring mirror tint looks neat and laconic on them. This is a very popular nail shape. It is not recommended for young ladies with full fingers, as this can visually shorten the fingers and make them disproportionate.

A straight cut of the edge of the nail speaks of you as a determined nature and knows exactly what she wants. The uniform should not be done if you adhere to an easy and romantic direction in the style of clothing. A strict business suit or classic options will look very relevant.

Many young ladies note that it is not very convenient to work at a computer in this form. As you know, beauty requires sacrifice. The length should be more than average, otherwise they just won't look. Do not confuse this form with stilettos, which we will burn about a little below. The top of the nail here does not go to a point, but has a smooth rounding, although it is quite sharp.

It is also called "cat's claws". A bold shape suitable for femme fatale. Not everyone can venture into such a manicure. Combined with metallic, an interesting effect is created. You will fully qualify for the title of Catwoman. You can enhance the effect by making not only a metallic manicure, but in the ombre style.

Calm shape that suits almost everyone. She is elegant and simple. There are no special requirements for the style of clothing either. Choose the metallic varnish you like, feel free to embody a mirror manicure on your nails.

How often did you have that one or two nails broke, it was no longer possible to leave the others at the same length. It is in such cases that a round shape is used. It looks perfect on short nails, and follows their natural shape.
