A universal and always up-to-date pink manicure still occupies a leading position among all shades of varnish. However, the fashion for its tone changes, and women choose these new varnish colors to stay in trend. The most popular shade of pink is the color of powder, or in another way, a dusty rose. Slightly muffled and delicate pink gives the woman softness and femininity. Today we will talk about the options for powder manicure.
How to make a manicure with gel polish?
Today, few women use ordinary varnish coatings. More and more prefer gel polish. The excitement around fashion trends is quite explainable. Indeed, in addition to an amazing glossy finish, manicure with gel polish has tremendous durability, about 15-20 days. Agree, this is a real relief for women around the world who no longer need to repaint their nails every 3-4 days.
If you want to learn how to make manicure gel polish at home, we recommend that you follow our instructions step by step.
- Begin any manicure with a hand bath. To do this, dip your hands in warm water with any useful additive (essential oil, sea salt, a special tool) and hold them there for 10-15 minutes.
- At the end of time, get your hands out and proceed to cuticle processing. If you have not yet mastered circumcised manicure or are simply afraid to do it yourself, simply move the cuticle away with a special orange stick. Also for these purposes, a pusher is suitable. File your nails, giving them a beautiful, neat shape.
- Degrease the nails with a special liquid and a lint-free cloth. Apply a primer to them. These two points are required if you want to carry a manicure as long as possible. The primer dries on its own and does not require drying under the lamp.
- The next step is to apply the base. Regardless of which base you choose, apply it with a very thin layer. After application, place your hands under the lamp so that each nail is well lit by the rays. Drying time depends on the lamp power, on average 30-60 seconds are enough for the gel polish to adhere to the nail plate.
- Apply color gel polish to the nails with the same thin layer. If the gel structure is transparent, it is recommended to apply 2 or 3 layers, drying each of them.
- The final stage is the topcoat. There are 2 types of finish: with and without a sticky layer. The second option is less problematic in work and does not require removal of this stickiness. If your topcoat belongs to the first option, then after drying it, wipe the nails with a degreasing agent. Another important technique for maintaining the persistence of manicure with gel polish is sealing the ends of the nail. With a semi-dry brush with a top, walk along the edges of the nail plate and only then dry in the lamp.
Powdery jacket
One of the most popular types of nail art is French. In its classic version, the jacket is a pale pink manicure with a highlighted white stripe on the edge. However, today women are increasingly choosing unusual versions of the service jacket with the replacement of flowers. One of these is our next idea in powdery gold.
This manicure uses 2 colors of gel polish and a top coat with a dull effect. Make such a manicure is not difficult. However, it will most effectively look on long nails of the “ballerina” form. As a rule, women build their nails to such a length with acrylic or gel.
To do this, following the instructions provided above, make a manicure in powdery color and apply a matte top. Then dry in the lamp. Next, you will need a thin brush with a long pile and a golden thick varnish. Contour the triangular end of the nail and dry it. Now you need to carefully apply a finishing gel polish with a glossy effect to the golden shade. The easiest way to do this is with a separate brush.
Black and pink
If you like a powdery manicure, but it seems a little faded, we suggest diluting it with a different color. A great addition to soft pink can be black or dark blue. The unfading classic of this tandem will appeal to any woman and will draw the attention of others to her hands.
If you are not very strong in nail art, then try to make a simple manicure with a light design. For example, like the one in the photo above. For it you will need: pale pink and black gel polishes, as well as a thin brush with a short pile.
How to do a manicure with gel polish, you already know, the design remains. Using a thin brush, draw a contour of hearts in the center of pink nails. Then fill them and stretch the strip to the end of the nail. Finally, cover with a layer of top.
The second version of powdery with black
And here is another idea of manicure in powder tones, but already more complex. In order to repeat it, prepare: black, pink and white varnish, brush and dots with a large ending. In the photo, powdery manicure with a black design.
Cover your nails with different shades of gel polish and dry. Then proceed to the decor. To make the peas even, use the dots. This is a small stick with two ends in the form of metal balls. Dipping a ball in black gel polish, you can imprint its trace on the nail, creating polka dots. Draw lines and bow also by hand.
