Each stylish modern lady must be impeccable to the very ends ... hair, nails, fashionable shoes. Such that the long-awaited prince at the sight of her immediately prostrated herself and recognized her perfection. A stale manicure or regrown hair roots are equated with a crime, and a visit to expensive salons is positioned as a daily ritual. If you want to make sure - open any glossy women's magazine. There is a feeling that a woman, besides taking care of herself, has nothing more to do and there’s nothing to spend money on. But we do not languish at the window of the room in expectation of a narrowed one. We study, work, build a career. Meanwhile, we raise our own business from scratch. No, in no case do I agitate to give up on my own appearance. But where is the time and money to find to maintain an impeccable image, so much so as not to the detriment of other aspects of life. It should be noted that modern cosmetics help us a lot in this. Take at least a nail polish with craquelure effect, which appeared on our shelves relatively recently. With its help, any young lady can make a fashionable and creative manicure in just a few minutes. By the way, if you ask how much this pleasure costs in the salon, then go to the store even faster to buy. Any girl can learn to apply such a coating correctly, since there is no particular trick in this.
I note that craquelure varnish from a well-known manufacturer can be purchased for 300 - 450 rubles. More affordable brands like Avon offer a product of the same quality, but at a price half that price. So there is no need to incur special material losses.
Many of you already know that craquelure varnish is a coating with the effect of cracks. The first artists began to use it - decorators to obtain an aged surface. After the vintage style was firmly established in fashion , cosmetics manufacturers drew attention to the product. And here is the result: craquelure nail polish simply fascinated all the ladies, without exception. And this is not surprising, because with its help you can create a magnificent, fashionable, creative manicure, literally, for one - two - three.
The technology for creating this unusual coating is quite simple. Further it is given sequentially. To work, you will need craquelure varnish, regular varnish, matching with it in color, base and top coat for nails. I omit the process of pretreatment of nails, since this is the topic of a separate article.
First, the base is applied under the varnish. If desired, this stage can be combined with the care of the nail plate. To do this, it will be enough to purchase a suitable tool. For example, from the Smart Enamel series.
The next will be a regular nail polish, which is applied in two layers.
Craquelure manicure leaves a huge scope for your imagination. You can depict anything you want, from painting in the colors of Khokhloma and Gzhel, to semiprecious stones and snake skin. Do you dream of becoming a mistress of a copper mountain? Then buy a varnish to create a background in green colors, and the craquelure is black or dark gray. Get the effect of natural malachite. Enamels with a metallic sheen are especially beautiful.
After the nails are completely dry, craquelure varnish is applied. Perhaps in the whole process this stage will be the most difficult. The pattern on the nails depends on the thickness of the coating. Therefore, in order for the cracks to be uniform and uniform, some accuracy and hardness of the hand will be required. Note that the thicker the layer, the greater the gap between the cracks. Apply the varnish first in the center, then along the edges. Of course, you will have to practice a bit to do this as quickly as possible.
The drawing appears after two to three seconds, but the coating itself still needs a little time to completely dry. You can leave the nails matte or give them a glossy sheen with transparent enamel. It depends on your desire. However, the layer of fixing varnish will not be superfluous, with it the manicure will live a little longer.
Here is such a simple and effective home nail art. If this is too simple for you, you can combine craquelure and jacket, depicting cracks only on the tips of the nails. Of course, any manicure will look better on well-groomed nails. Therefore, do not forget to devote some time to your pens. Then at any moment you will be fully equipped, as they say.
As you can see, it’s not necessary to spend a lot of time looking perfect. It is enough just to be interested in the latest in cosmetics and use them with maximum efficiency for the benefit of your own appearance.
Stay always beautiful and stylish!
