There is a wonderful way to draw attention to the nails, making as if an ordinary manicure. Mirror varnishes are an amazing way to add a twist to an image.
Variety of mirror varnishes
When reading the article, many, of course, had an association with a silver coating. Now mirror varnish is presented in a wide range of colors. After all, ladies want to not only look irresistible, but also to comply with fashion trends. Therefore, the beauty industry is effectively working to create new products.
If you work on your style, as well as follow the news, you can create an amazing and unique image. If you choose and apply nail polish, the mirror effect will be simply amazing. Moreover, a brilliant manicure is not able to go unnoticed. And if you add it with hand-made patterns, decorative ribbons or stamping, you can create a real masterpiece.
The varnish should be decent
Mirror varnishes look so impressive that they are used in different collections. There are lovers of varnishes in blue, purple, berry colors. Regardless of the color chosen, 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 do not be tempted to purchase such a varnish. Mirror gloss, most likely, will not appear after using the product selected due to the attractive price.
- Of no small importance is the composition, which is often indicated in very small print on low-quality products. 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.
Brush quality and consistency
Then you should open the vial and check whether the drop is draining from the brush. This should not be. Good quality mirror varnishes can be identified by the quick drop of a drop. It is in this case that the expected effect will certainly be achieved.
You also need to pay attention to the brush. Its stiffness 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 the mirror varnishes in the bottles are homogeneous. No stratification or accumulation of silver composition should be observed. This indicates that the goods were not properly stored, diluted with something, or simply expired. To avoid such troubles, you should purchase the product in a well-known store.
How to apply varnish
To get a really high-quality coating, 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 stripes. In addition, the base aligns 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 must be applied with a thin layer, departing 1 mm from the cuticle. Drying is quick.
- Then a second coat is applied. For it, you also need to use a small amount of varnish. Everything should be done carefully so that no bubbles appear on the surface of the nail.
- The 2nd layer should be made in the form of 3 fast and clear 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 gloss is significantly enhanced. If desired, you can do without a finish. But in this case, the beautiful manicure will please the owner for 3-4 days.
Gel polishes
The most modern are gel polishes. After applying them, you can forget about performing a manicure for a long time. After all, nails that are coated with gel polish remain beautiful for 2 weeks. This is greatly appreciated by girls who are constantly busy. If you need frequent cleaning or caring for a child, there is nothing better than to prefer such a manicure.
Immediately after application, the mirror gel polish looks like pearlescent. The similarity is indeed there. But after drying, the visible grains should disappear, and the nail should become like a mirror. When the coating appears monochrome, you can judge the complete drying of the product. And this procedure is accelerated with the help of a special lamp.
Application of mirror gel polish
The cuticle should be moved first. Then you need to grind the surface of the nail with a special nail file and use the brush to remove the dust. Then you should use the funds corresponding 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 must not be varnished. In this case, the manicure will be ruined. After all activities, a mirror gel polish is applied to the surface of the nail with a thin layer.
If the coating is smooth and completely satisfied with its owner, then the second time you do not need to apply varnish. If the coating density is insufficient, a second coat is recommended. In accordance with the technology from many brands, mirror gel should be applied in 2 stages. In addition, many girls prefer saturated color.
Regardless of the number of layers of gel polish applied, a very thin plastic film is created. It must be treated as an artificial material inside the coating. The fixative can be applied at the moment when the pearly crumb completely disappears, and the film becomes invisible.
Mirror varnishes look amazing. The only thing that is needed is a responsible attitude to performing the direct manicure. It should be remembered that if flaws and bumps in the nails are noticeable, then the coating of beauty will not add. Also of no small importance is the foundation, which must be of high quality. In any case, a shiny nail polish can take pride of place on the dressing table of every girl.
