Modern masters of nail service do not get tired of delighting customers with fresh ideas and the most daring design options. Fortunately, manufacturers of materials and equipment provide the widest choice, thanks to which not only those who have specialized education can find the right one, but also girls who do not plan to make nail art their profession.
Our article will help those who seek to master the intricacies of manicure on their own. Consider several popular techniques and materials with which you can make a gold jacket.
The most stylish manicure
Many professionals consider French manicure the most elegant. Made in natural shades, it will be equally appropriate in a solid office, in the gym, at a secular reception and in a campground on the Crimean coast.
But doesn't this versatility make him too boring? Does such a design seem faceless and expressionless? Not at all! It is worth playing with colors and textures, as you can get a lot of fresh solutions.
Gold shine: a spectacular design for a special occasion
A golden jacket will certainly suit those who are not afraid to be in the spotlight. Think about this design is on the eve of the holiday.
A great occasion to decorate nails with gold is a strict dress for a solemn exit. A monophonic outfit of black, dark blue, and eggplant will look really luxurious if you complement the image with a sparkling pendant on a thin chain and stylish gold manicure.
But it is worth noting that of all the existing options, this design is quite moody. Gold does not forgive negligence and carelessness. Therefore, special attention must be paid to hygiene procedures.
Harmonious color combinations
Gold is one of the most “friendly” shades. It is in harmony with almost any color of the spectrum, ranging from snow-white to black-black.
One of the neutral tones can be used as the main tone for the gold jacket:
- peach;
- pink;
- champagne;
- Ivory
- beige.
It is enough to make a shining “smile” for a simple concise design to look festive, but not too catchy.
If the opposite is the case, you can combine gold with a more expressive tone, for example, with one of the shades of red, purple, emerald.
It goes well with gold and black.
Invoices
The issue of choosing a varnish is a priority. Gold manicure can be glossy or matte, varnish can contain inclusions of various sizes: small sparkles, large flakes.
Gold can distinguish both the edge of the marigold, and its main part. For the second case, even translucent options are suitable, and for drawing a "smile" it is better to choose a denser consistency.
Very impressive is the golden jacket on nails made with varnishes of the same shade, but with different textures. For example, the main part can be glossy, and the ends are dull.
Whatever varnish you choose, carefully read the manufacturer's recommendations before starting work. Different options have features, require different polymerization times.
Shimmer varnish
This is one of the most comfortable materials. It does not require special knowledge, tools, labor. It is enough to apply the main coating to the dried base, dry it, and then highlight the ends with golden varnish.
Sticky applicators can be used. They will allow you to get the same "smile" on all nails. There is another method - painting with a special brush with a rounded cut. It is convenient for her to make a jacket, but before starting work, it is worth practicing on a tips.
Manicure liner
The popularity of markers is growing rapidly. According to many professional masters and ordinary amateurs, working with them is easier than with brushes and paints. Gold French can be made in minutes.
Just draw stripes, lines and any patterns with your chosen liner. The marker itself does not need to be dried in the lamp, but it needs top coating.
Acrylic paints
This material requires skill and brushes. There are many paints, they differ from each other not only in shades, but also in density, as well as in the method of polymerization. But the result is worth the effort.
With the help of paint, you can make, for example, a luxurious black and gold jacket decorated with a volumetric pattern. Thin lines drawn along the edges of “smiles” look no less sophisticated and stylish.
Foil and the basics of working with it
Very beautiful golden manicure can be done using foil. This material allows you to get a spectacular uneven coating with a noble shine and crackle effect. If desired, the foil can be glued and perfectly evenly, but most masters prefer to beat just its folds.
Foil is applied to a special glue, which is sold in the same departments for nail art. In the process, it is convenient to use an orange stick. After tearing off the foil, the radiant fragments remain on the nail. It is better to use a glossy top for the finish, although a matte finish can give a good result.
Rub: features, principles of work
A couple of years ago, this material was rare. It was offered only by the largest stores for nail art masters, and it cost a lot. Today, many professionals speak very well about the rubbing made in China, which at a very modest price give an excellent result.
It looks like a fine powder. An applicator is often included in the kit (although many claim that it is most convenient to rub the powder with your finger). You can apply it on the nail with a pusher or a similar tool.
Read the manufacturer's recommendations, specify which top is suitable for work (with or without an adhesive layer). Remember that only a glossy top can be covered with a mat, matte is not suitable.
This material allows you to make a very effective manicure in gold tones. You can highlight the mirror shine of the "smile" and a couple more nails (for example, on the index fingers).
Dry sparkles
It may seem that this material looks like a rub, but in work it behaves differently. Spangles do not change shape, they are visible on the surface. Unlike glitter varnish, this option gives you much more room for creativity: you can independently control the content of brilliant fractions.
For convenience in work, many masters mix dry spangles into the top, apply to the nail and bake.
Decorative elements for manicure
Not only varnish can be gold. You can use broths, kamifubuki, stickers, metal elements, rhinestones and much more in your work. The choice is simply huge.
If you use an additional decor for manicure, in which there are gold touches, remember the sense of proportion. The abundance of gold and sparkling stones can look tasteless. Just a few discreet elements to emphasize.
For example, such a white jacket with gold does not look too elaborate, but if you add a little rhinestone or other elements, the whole result will come to naught.
A few words about relevance
First of all, it is worth mentioning that none of these options is suitable for an office with a strict business dress code. A similar design implies a more relaxed atmosphere.
As a rule, it is customary to decorate nails with gold in the cold season. This idea is especially good for the New Year holidays.
It is worth taking care of a worthy addition. Jewelry with large colored stones is not the best company for nails with such a design. But you should not rush to the other extreme: cute rings with a lampwork, clay and bone cabochons, inserts from natural bone, ornamental stones, corals, as well as handmade wire wrap jewelry - all this will also look strange with deliberately exquisite manicure.
It is advisable to avoid the silver neighborhood. The best choice is a couple of laconic rings of gold or jewelry metal of the same shade. To a black jacket with gold jewelry with rubber will do.
