Matte or glossy varnish? What to choose? Frankly, glossy is more popular, but matte looks much more noble and more elegant. In addition, in the era of the dominance of gloss, one can surprise only with its absence. Therefore, we dwell in more detail on why it is worth paying attention to such a direction in nail art as matte varnish. It differs from all other varieties in aristocratic subdued shades and incredible velvety structure.
You can apply it in different ways: cover the entire surface of the nail completely, combine with glossy (for example, apply it only on the free edge or randomly combine on the entire surface). As a rule, matte varnish does not last as long as regular glossy. However, this is not a reason to refuse to use it. The effect is worth it. The manicure looks stylish, unobtrusive and at the same time very expressive. This is ideal for a business woman, bride, jobseeker for a well-paid job. In other words, if you want to give the impression of a smart woman with good taste in special situations, use a matte varnish, leaving the usual shine for everyday life.
The popularity of glossy varnish is due to the fact that the gloss of nails has always been considered the main indicator of their beauty. However, the decorative coating does not have to be as close as possible to the natural look of the nails. If there are black and green shiny varnishes, then what are the daring decisions in matt performance?
Matt varnish was developed back in the nineties of the last century. It took about twenty years to turn from an unclaimed novelty into a fashionable trend. The consistency of such products is thick and viscous, which ensures a uniform and smooth coating of nails. Varnishes spread evenly, do not leave gaps and clots. However, it is very important that the nails are perfectly smooth, since the texture of the varnish treacherously gives out all the small tubercles and depressions, if any.
One of the best matte varnishes are considered American OPI and ORLY. These are leaders in the production of decorative coatings for nails. They were the first to produce matt varnish, so the color palette is the most impressive. They are loved, for example, by Nicole Kidman, so you can not worry about quality. However, their price is impressive.
What are the most relevant shades? Do not be surprised, but it is gray, black and transparent. Gray is an independent value in the world of matte fashion.
The manicure performed with its help is called smoky, it can also be used for
French. Black varnish is appropriate not only in the
Gothic style, it is a noble color of elegance. In combination with rhinestones it looks simply luxurious. Transparent matte varnish (photo is not even required) is used as the basis for experiments. A drop of color is added to it and an original tone is obtained.
How to make varnish matte? The easiest way is with such a transparent framework. It will come in handy repeatedly and help create varnishes to match any outfit. Attention! Do not use this varnish together with hand lotion and means for drying, as this can lead to the disappearance of the matte effect.
