Application Features
Like all light and especially translucent shades. Milk varnish requires a certain skill. It must be applied in several thin layers, usually 2-3 is enough.
This shade is suitable for nails of different lengths. Milk manicure on short nails looks very gentle and completely self-sufficient, it can be combined with different designs, for example, trendy geometry.
It is also well suited for extended extended nails: balances the composition, smooths out the aggressiveness of acute forms. Gives femininity and tenderness.
Milk shades are also popular for complex designs. For example, for a laid-out service jacket. Milk-colored manicure with a pattern can be supplemented with shinju pebbles, pixie crystals, broths.
Milky manicure with rhinestones and opals.
Refined milk background is perfect for active designs with expressive elements. Rhinestones, both crystal and opal, look very good on it.
To make such a manicure, apply milk varnish on the nails, drying each thin layer. Cover the nail on which the inlay will be carried out with a base (it is better to use thick rubber). Carefully arrange the crystals, fill the gaps between them with suitable broths in color and size. Polymerize the work with a lamp, and then circle the composition with a linear brush dipped in top. After drying, cover the rest of the surface with a top, cure and remove the stickiness.
Fashionable minimalism
Considering the most trendy ideas of milk-colored manicure, one cannot but mention such a fashionable trend as a minimalist style. Today, such designs are at the peak of popularity. Their merit is also that the execution does not require any special skill, or a special tool, or a lot of time. What you need for a beginner!
After covering the nails with milk varnish, draw with a thin brush a few elegant even lines on the nails. This technique allows us to solve not only design problems, but also practical ones: short nails visually look longer, their shape becomes more harmonious if the lines are placed along.
You can use a self-adhesive colored tape. To top it off, the design is overlapped with a top.
Manicure Sliders
This is a real find for those who are not confident in themselves as an artist. Just pick the right pattern. On a delicate milky hue, subtle black graphics look very stylish. A special chic - white patterns on a milk background.
After cutting out the picture, lay it on a cotton pad moistened with water. After a minute, the film with the pattern will peel off from the paper substrate and it can be transferred to the nail. This is convenient to do with tweezers.
To make the manicure neat. Do not rush to press the slider. Well look, whether the picture lay flat. Press the film to the surface of the nail with a silicone brush, dots or orange stick. Straighten the folds immediately (if necessary, small cuts can be made on the film to make it fit better). Cover the picture with a thin layer of the base, polymerize in the lamp. Rate the result. Check for wrinkles or edges of the film. At this stage, this can be easily fixed with a buff polisher. The final step is to apply the top.
You can complement the design with rhinestones, small pearl half beads or opals.
Milky color as background for design.
The choice of ideas for manicure in delicate shades is very wide. On the milk look fine spangles, flakes, gold leaf. Such a background is suitable for designs in craquelure techniques, for example, for printing crumpled foil.
You can set accents with the help of holographic kamifubuki, which are also very popular today. Translucent figures on a milk background will be clearly visible only at a certain angle.
Note that this shade can be combined with a glossy top, and with matte options (velvet, satin).
