Sometimes there is such a mood when there is no desire to look catchy and bright. I want more tenderness and naturalness. In this case, a transparent manicure will work best. In addition, these nails will look quite well-groomed and elegant. And if you also make drawings in light colors on them, this will only add charm.

Advantages and disadvantages

The return of transparent manicure to fashion has delighted almost all lovers of minimalism. After all, it looks rather laconic and neat, and it also has many advantages.

Let's take a look at some of them.

  • Transparent manicure does not take a lot of time. This is very important for women who have too busy work schedules, or those who do not like to spend a lot of time in salons.
  • Even if such a coating remains on the nails for a long time, the growth sites are practically invisible, and this saves both time and money.
  • If the manicure is even slightly damaged, it will not be visible.
  • It gives the hands a well-groomed look.
  • Such a coating allows you to choose any decor option you like. Transparent or light rhinestones will look especially beautiful. In this case, they can be suitable even for every day.
  • In addition, this coating can even be used under false nails.

However, do not forget about the disadvantages of this coating. There are not many of them, but they are still there.

  • Such a manicure is quite easily soiled.
  • If the nail plate has even the slightest flaws, they will be immediately visible.In addition, in this case, the transparent varnish will act as a magnifying glass, only by increasing them.

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. The transparent base can be easily decorated with white stripes at the edges or at the bottom of the nails. A neat manicure of this type is suitable even for false nails of different shapes and lengths.

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. But you can also make the coating with gel polish, which will keep the attractive appearance of the manicure longer.

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.
  • The glitter finish looks great on short nails. This is a dense layer of glitter that immediately catches your eye. You can alternate glitter with transparent inserts on the nails or just highlight a few marigolds for them.
  • Another type of glitter is confetti. This kind of coverage is more suitable for the holidays, so that you can stand out from the crowd.
  • And there are also pixie crystals. The coating is applied, like confetti, the only difference is that geometric shapes are fixed on the nails.

Transparent manicure for office style

This option is perfect for office work as well. Even any additions will not be a hindrance, because the transparency of the varnish will soften everything. For a more discreet option, graphics or geometric shapes are suitable. They will not be so conspicuous, while still looking pretty pretty.

Cover decorated with stripes

Such a manicure is also considered geometric. However, if this direction is nevertheless chosen, then the stripes should be contrasting. It is best if the drawing is done with black and white varnish. This coating will help hide existing defects on the nails. In addition, it will decorate small nails.

Transparent decor made with dots

Those who constantly follow the news in fashion know that polka dots, that is, "polka dot" manicure, has been very popular lately. It is quite easy to apply it even for a novice master.

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.

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.

How to replace colorless varnish?

Clear varnish is a versatile item. However, it is often not at hand at the right moment. Therefore, you have to think about what to replace it with. The best alternative would be a well-done manicure with a nail file. If you approach this issue carefully, then the result may surprise the most picky masters. After all, polished nails will shine as well as marigolds with a colorless coating. In addition, they will look neat and well-groomed.

Of course, you can play around with different shades. For this, a transparent varnish with a delicate pink shade of the same color as the nail plate is suitable.This option can be used in cases where the nail plate is yellowish. This will make your nails look lighter.

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.

If we consider most of the reviews, then following them, it is this varnish that is considered the most common and best-selling among all varnishes.

If earlier almost every woman tried to paint her nails brighter, then in the modern world, simplicity and naturalness are considered a priority. But if this option seems boring, then everything can be supplemented with different decorative inserts. They will be able to diversify this coverage. And then it will definitely not be possible to find fault with him.
