Design options
There are many options for transparent manicure. It can be used as a base for other coatings. And also this option can be a background for different inserts.

Decorating with drawings
Ladies who like larger drawings can decorate a transparent base with them. However, small elements will make such a coating more delicate in appearance. Especially if the drawings are floral. But you can experiment with other patterns as well. For example, bright stars or small hearts will look great on light nails.
You can even draw leaves or fruits - it all depends on the preferences of the clients. A manicure with an aquarium effect will look very beautiful. To do this, draw your favorite picture under a thick layer of transparent gel polish. When it hardens, it will appear that the pattern is under a layer of water.
However, it is worth remembering, whichever pattern is chosen, it must be applied extremely carefully. After all, almost all the shortcomings will immediately be striking.

Coating without pattern
Such a manicure can also look very impressive. To do this, you need to purchase a varnish with an undertone, which will be closest to the nail plate. It can be a beige or bluish pigment.

Using sequins
Most often, it is the sequins that are used for decoration on the nail plate. After all, such a manicure is suitable not only for parties or going to a restaurant, but also for ordinary business meetings. In addition, glitter can be used at different times of the year. For example, in the summer they will shimmer in the sun, and in the winter they will create the effect of frozen pieces of ice right on the fingers. Of all the sequin decor options, several of the most popular can be distinguished.
- The rhinestone cover can transform any marigold. Will they be arranged strictly according to the scheme or scattered in a rather random order, it does not matter. The result will exceed all expectations. Even ordinary rhinestones in some cases can look much more beautiful than real Swarovski stones.

Cover with inserts
One of the most popular coatings is the moon manicure. Lunula remain completely unpainted.This allows the manicure to look neat and beautiful for a long time. This coating is a bit like a French manicure, but the smile is on the other side.

For nails of different lengths
The clear coat will suit all nail lengths. Everything looks especially good on short nails, because it will visually narrow the nail plate. In addition, if you focus on the tips of the nails, as is done in a jacket, it will lengthen the nails a little.
When making a clear coat for long nails, you can decorate the tips with any decorations or designs. This is to keep your nails from looking too long. In addition, you can use not a completely transparent varnish, but a color-filled coating. It will give your nails a more graceful and natural look.

How to do it at home?
Before deciding to make a transparent coating at home, you need to study some of its features. This is necessary in order to be able to pick up a better quality coating.
- This varnish must include a film former. It helps to harden such a coating better, and also prevents the appearance of chips.
- In addition, another important component is the photoinitiator. It is responsible for absorbing ultraviolet radiation.
- And also the composition should include various thinners or particles that contribute to better fixation of the varnish on the nails.
- Clear varnish has a completely different consistency. This is also worth paying attention to.

When all the features are studied, you can buy a varnish, taking into account all these points, and start a manicure. An independent manicure will also allow you to save some time, which would have been spent on going to the salon, as well as money.
First you need to degrease the entire nail plate. And also remove all remnants of the previous varnish. This can be done with a cotton pad or tissue. If, before this, the coating was done with a colored varnish, and it was not possible to completely remove the color, you can do this with a toothpaste and a toothbrush. And only after that you can start applying varnish.

The easiest way is to make a glitter finish at home. To do this, you need to apply varnish to the nail plate and distribute it evenly. After that, dry glitter must be distributed with a brush along the very edge of the nail. At the end, you need to apply another layer of clear varnish. This will allow the drawing to be well secured.
To further simplify this process, you can combine dry glitter with clear varnish and mix everything well. The sequins can be taken in different sizes. Most of all are large, slightly smaller than medium and quite a bit fine as dust sparkles.
In addition, it will not be very difficult to get a French manicure. To do this, you need to apply a clear varnish to the nail. It is necessary to apply in 2 layers. After it hardens, you can paint the tip of the nail with white or other varnish with a very thin brush.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-337/2018/09/osobennosti-prozrachnogo-manikyura-55.jpg)
The result should be a smile, which is the hallmark of the jacket. At the end, it is imperative to apply a layer of fixative so that the manicure lasts longer. If you want the varnish to dry a little faster, you can dip your hand directly into cold water.

Reviews
Almost all reviews about clear varnish are always positive. Especially girls like the coating made with gel polish. It lasts a long time, and even if the nails grow back, it will not be visible.
In addition, such a coating can be used for different cases. Some make it as a base for a different tone, while others use it in order to create different unusual compositions. After all, if you decorate some bright nails with catchy prints and inserts, then all this will look too lurid. And with a transparent base, everything turns out as accurately as possible.
