Thus, by accentuating the nail in a certain tone, you can improve a separate area of ​​\u200b\u200byour life.

The technique for performing a manicure is quite simple, all that needs to be done is to paint all the nails in one color, while skipping 1-2 nails and covering them with other shades. A very interesting trend that adds zest to such a manicure is to create mini-pictures on accented nails. Thanks to stamps, a stencil and bright varnish, you can create a very unusual pattern or pattern in a matter of minutes.

Manicure - multi-colored jacket

Everyone knows that the classic French technique involves a combination of two colors - the white top of the marigold, as well as a colorless, beige or pink base for the entire plate. However, a new trend has recently become relevant - a colored French manicure, which uses two shades of varnish. The technique of applying varnish is the same as with the classic jacket. The only distinguishing feature is that instead of classic colors, brighter, more contrasting ones are selected. At the same time, the end of the nail plate in some cases is covered with a more prominent varnish - textured, shiny, acid.

You can try to make a jacket with your own hands at home. There is nothing difficult in this, all that needs to be done is to learn how to clearly draw thin, even lines on your nails, and also get varnish with a thin brush. Don't be discouraged if it doesn't work the first time. For convenience, protective stickers for French manicure have long been invented, they are carefully glued to the end of the nail plate, so that the top line is clear and even.

Technique for performing a two-color jacket. At the beginning, a base colorless lacquer coating is applied, which can protect the nail from the harmful effects of lacquer manicure products. After the base, it is necessary to apply varnish on absolutely the entire surface of the nail until it dries completely. In this case, you can choose absolutely any shade, the most important thing is to first come up with an interesting combination of tones. Apply French protective strips, leaving a small space at the tips. These free ends are covered with a second varnish. Stickers are carefully removed, you must wait until the varnish dries. At the end, a fixing coating is applied so that the manicure lasts longer.

Ombre nails technique

A very fashionable manicure technique is the creation of a smooth gradient two-tone transition of varnishes on the nails. The name of such a newfangled nail design technique is ombre. This type of design implies a very smooth flow from one color or shade to another, while leaving blurry, not clear boundaries.

You can distinguish a couple of options for a two-color measurement manicure:

• Creating a smooth transition between two very similar tones from dark to light and vice versa (for example, from red to orange).
• Smooth transition from bright color tone to white.
• Fuzzy transition between two cardinally contrasting colors (for example, blue-yellow).

Before proceeding with this technique, you can lubricate the cuticle and the skin around the nail platinum with a greasy cream, this will help to avoid staining it. Certain nail masters prefer a different method - taping. A base tone is applied to the entire surface of the nail, it is worth waiting until the varnish sets.

Two colors of lacquer are applied side by side on a hard and smooth surface. With a toothpick, the shades are carefully mixed exclusively at the border, while forming a color stretch. A small narrow sponge is savored in the workpiece. Next, the sponge is gently pressed against the nail, voila - an ombre effect is obtained. Don't worry about getting your hands and fingers dirty. At the end of the procedure, all defects can be washed off with nail polish remover. When the varnish is completely dry, a fixative must be applied on top.

Lunar manicure technique

This is a fairly new and fresh trend in nail design. In fact, the moon manicure is an original option for decorating nails with different shades and colors of varnish. Some nail masters refer to this technique as “reverse French”, because in this case the base of the nail is painted in a semicircle, and not its end. The execution technique is a little more complicated than in a regular jacket, and without stencils it will definitely be difficult for the first time. Whereas real sophisticated nail masters can draw neat crescents by hand.

Technique for drawing a crescent moon with a stencil. The base color is applied to the entire surface of the nail plate, you must wait for the coating to dry completely. It is important to consider that the base is the color of the future hole of the moon manicure. Now stickers for this type of manicure are in use. They are applied at the base of the nail. The free tip that is above the sticker is covered with a different color. The sticker is removed, you must wait until the top layer is completely dry, and then the nail is fixed with a colorless varnish.

In this way, completely different types of moon manicure can be performed using two contrasting tones. Crescents of golden and silver hues look very harmonious and elegant.

Application of geometric patterns

The next very bright type of manicure, in which two-color drawings are applied - various geometric patterns. There are a great many patterns, you can draw whatever your heart desires: stripes of different thicknesses, geometric shapes, diagonals, divide the nail into two or more parts, etc. However, it is worth choosing bright colors in this technique that will shade the pattern. You can use stickers to draw lines, or you can try to draw them yourself. It is better not to use adhesive tape, as it can remove the base layer of varnish.

Triangle drawing technique. On the entire surface of the nail plate, exactly the color that will later be the color of the triangle is applied. After the first layer has dried, a triangular sticker is applied to the tip of the nail. You can cover the second layer of a contrasting tone of varnish. The sticker is removed, the top layer is dried. At the end, as usual, a fixer is applied.

This is a real art to smoothly and harmoniously combine different shades. Since certain colors can be out of harmony with each other, creating bad taste. In order to exclude possible errors, it is better to study the plate of compatibility of shades and colors.

And in order to make life easier for fashionistas and manicure lovers, we will describe the most winning color combinations, as well as color solutions for two-color manicure techniques:

• Related shades - they are next door in the color wheel (blue - purple, blue - green, red - orange, yellow-light green, etc.).
• Monochrome tones - shades of the same color, which differ in the degree of saturation (lilac - purple, red - burgundy, mint - emerald).
• Contrasting tones are those colors that are opposite one another on the color wheel (blue - orange, yellow-violet, coral - turquoise, red-green).
• Universal shades - all tones and colors go well with silver, gold, black and white lacquer.

Hands are the hallmark of a woman, according to Coco Chanel. It is difficult to disagree with this, since everything from age to social status is reflected on the hands, which is why it is so important to pay attention to hand skin care and manicure. But worse than a complete lack of nail coverage can only be an untidy manicure. This will never happen to those women who know how to properly paint their nails with varnish.

The appearance of gel polishes has made a real revolution in manicure, allowing you to get a durable coating for two to three weeks with minimal time, which will be almost completely unaffected by external factors.

The advantages of such a nail coating have prompted many women to already learn the new technology at home, and for those who are still thinking, it will be useful to find out what tools and materials will be needed for a gel polish manicure, what are the stages of coating.

Required Tools

The new technology of coloring nails causes the use of not only new materials, but also new tools.

Basic gel polish kit includes:

• coating polymerization lamp;
• buff, he is a polishing file;
• degreaser;
• base coat;
• gel polish, selected shade;
• finish coating;
• adhesive remover.

Let us dwell in a nutshell on each of the points in order to understand their purpose. Gel polish will not dry in the usual way, for this you need a special lamp. Such lamps come in three types: ultraviolet (UF), light-emitting diode (LED) and combined (CCFL).

For beginners, a 36W UV lamp will suffice for home use. The radiation of the LED lamp is absolutely harmless to the human body, and the device that has worked out its life does not need special disposal. In addition, although these lamps shine more dimly and look compact, they dry the varnish four times faster. A 9W LED lamp is equivalent to a 36W UV lamp. Combined lamps are designed for professional use.

Before applying varnish, the nail must be prepared: lightly sanded and removed dust and natural fat deposits from it. For this, a grinding file with an abrasiveness of 900 grit and a degreaser-disinfector are used. Sometimes it is replaced with a 70% alcohol solution.

A transparent base varnish (coating) makes the surface of the nail as even and smooth as possible, and also prevents the pigment from getting into the keratin layer of the nail plate. The purpose of colored gel polish is the same as that of a regular one - to paint the nail in the selected color.

The top coat not only protects the manicure from external negative factors, but also gives the varnish either a glossy sheen or a matte roughness. Not all particles of the gel coating polymerize in the lamp, they make the surface of the nail sticky. To remove it, use means to remove the sticky layer. Recently, they began to produce finishing varnishes without a sticky layer.

Additionally, for a manicure with gel polish, you can use:

• a primer that will enhance the adhesion of layers of varnish to the nail;
• lint-free wipes, which, unlike ordinary cotton pads, do not leave small fibers on the nail during degreasing or removing the sticky layer;
• cuticle oils, you can purchase special blends or buy apricot, grape or almond oil at the pharmacy.

Manicure with gel polish: stages

Having given your nails the desired shape with a nail file and putting the cuticle in order, you can proceed to a manicure with gel polish.

Technology and stages of application:

1. Preparation of the nail plate. At this stage, you should lightly walk the buff over the nails, but without strong pressure, without cutting it off. After wetting a cotton pad or lint-free cloth in a degreaser, wipe the nail, not forgetting to pay attention to the side rollers and the end of the nail tip. At the same stage, you can apply a primer to the nails.
2. Applying a gel coat. Gel polish manicure involves applying 3-4 layers of coating, each of which should be polymerized for 2 minutes in a UV lamp and 30 seconds - 1 minute in an LED lamp, depending on the power. Layers are applied from the following sequence: base, colored gel polish in 1-2 layers, top coat.
3. Removing the dispersion layer and caring for the cuticle. With a cotton pad or a special napkin, remove the sticky layer from the nail plates using the appropriate tool. This will not only prolong the life of the manicure, but also protect the body from allergenic particles that may be present in the varnish. Applying cuticle oil is not only a pleasant caring procedure, but also providing additional nutrition to the nail plate.

How to remove gel polish from regrown nails

Due to the durability of the gel, it cannot be removed from the nails as easily as regular polish.

In order not to damage the nail, all actions should be performed in accordance with the following technology:

1. First, the surface of the coating on the regrown nail should be lightly treated with a buff. This will help remove the varnish faster.
2. Soak a cotton pad liberally in gel polish remover. Then attach it to the nail and wrap tightly with a small piece of foil. Leave the nails in this position for 10-15 minutes.
3. Next, remove the foil and cotton pad, and remove the coating with an orange stick or a plastic pusher. Do not try to remove the varnish with a metal tool, so as not to damage the nail plate. If necessary, treat the nail a little with a polishing file, removing small particles of the coating.

How to make drawings?

You can make a monochromatic coating more interesting and give individuality to a manicure with the help of drawings. Now there are a sufficient number of techniques that allow you to apply unique patterns on the nail at home, even without having artistic talent.

Let's consider some of them:

1. stamping. To make drawings in this technique, you will need a stamp, a scraper, stencils with a pattern and stamping paint with a high pigment content. A small amount of paint is applied with a brush to a stencil with a pattern you like, the excess is removed with a scraper, then the pattern is applied to the stamp with a rolling movement, and from it to the nail with the same movement.
2. Stickers for nails. On sale there are ready-made drawings - decals for every taste. To apply such a pattern on the nail, you need to cut off the pattern or the fragment you like, hold it for some time in water, separate it from the paper backing and transfer it to the varnished nail, dry it and cover it with a finish.

Interesting nail designs can be created using special foil, rhinestones and mirror rubbing.

How to paint nails with regular varnish?

Despite all the advantages of gel coating, ordinary varnish may be a little less than before, but it is also in demand, since coating with it is easier and cheaper than gel polish, and existing resistant varnishes allow you to keep the coating in its original form for up to seven days.

Preparation

Before covering the nails with ordinary varnish, they also need to be prepared. To do this, they are first given a neat shape with a nail file.

Then the cuticle is softened by holding it in a warm soapy bath or applying special oil to it. The softened cuticle is pushed back with an orange stick, or carefully cut off with scissors (for trimmed manicure).

Completes the preparation of nails their degreasing. Nails washed with soap should be dried, wiped with an alcohol solution and dried again. On such nails, regular varnish will last longer.

Base coat application

Primer, base, substrate, base - this is another name for the base coat for varnish. There are various types of bases, among which there are healing, restoring thin and fragile nails, with a whitening effect and leveling. The latter, thanks to microparticles of talc and silk, make the surface of the nail smoother, after which the usual varnish lays down in a more even layer.

The main function of the base coat is to provide a tighter grip between the nail and the varnish, as well as to protect against the penetration of the pigment deep into the nail plate and yellow color afterwards. Usually the base coat is transparent or white. It should be applied in one thin layer. It takes at least 10 minutes for the base to dry well.

Proper staining

After the base coat is completely dry on fat-free nails, you can start applying varnish. To paint the nails of the right-hander should begin with the little finger on the right hand, the left-hander - vice versa. Before applying a regular varnish, the bottle with it should be shaken well in your hands in order to achieve a more uniform consistency and even layers.

Having dipped the brush into the varnish, wipe it on the neck on one side, and cover the nail with the varnish remaining on the outer edge, progressively moving from the tip of the nail to the cuticle. This will prevent the varnish from bleeding. So cover all nails and let them dry well. Then cover with a second coat of varnish.

Use of a fixer

To keep the manicure for five to seven days, you need to firmly glue all the layers on the nail plate. For this, special fixers are used - “smart enamels”. Such products will not only prolong the life of the manicure, but can also make the coating more even and give a beautiful glossy shine without changing the color.

The fixer is applied in the same way as a regular varnish, but you can cover it every day. Drying remains an important condition, each layer of the coating for any manicure should dry thoroughly.

How to speed up drying?

Regular polish takes a long time to dry.

It takes 10 to 20 minutes for one coat to dry properly, but there are several ways to speed up the process:

1. Special dryers. They come in the form of a spray or liquid in a bottle, which is applied with a brush. The effect after using such a product is a completely dry coating in a minute.
2. Bath with cold water. If you dip nails covered with ordinary varnish in a container of cold water and ice cubes, the solvent will quickly wash out, which will dry the varnish and make the manicure more resistant.
3. Vegetable oil. One drop of olive or other vegetable oil, applied to the nail two minutes after staining, will make it dry much faster (after 5-7 minutes).
4. Using special devices for drying or hair dryer in cold air mode. In the latter case, it is important not to bring the hair dryer too close to the nails at first, so as not to spoil the coating with “ripples”.

Useful life hacks

In order not to drive a cotton pad over the nail, removing ordinary varnish, you can spiral into a small glass jar and put a foam sponge and fill it with nail polish remover. Now you need to briefly dip your finger into the foam "bowels", and then wipe the varnish in one motion.

When drawing patterns on nails using stamps and stencils, the skin around the nail is often dirty. To protect it, a latex varnish is used, which creates a film on the skin, which is easy to remove later. In the absence of such a tool, it can be replaced with ordinary PVA glue.

The perfect white stripe in a French manicure without stencils can be drawn with a rubber band fixed in the desired position. And if you still get bumps, they can be masked by running a brush dipped in a colorless varnish with sparkles along the joint.

To protect the delicate skin of the hands from the aggressive effects of gel polish remover, it should be lubricated with a greasy cream or petroleum jelly.

White varnish is considered by many to be basic, and this is no coincidence. First, he now and then appears in the images from the shows. Secondly, this color goes with everything, gives the hands a neat look and focuses on the manicure.

How can you paint your nails with white polish?

• White lacquer can be applied to the nails without additions. But such a varnish in a bottle is rarely so dense as to immediately paint over the nail plate without gaps. Therefore, in order to beautifully paint your nails with white varnish, you will need to apply it in three layers, not two. Try to apply it by picking up a small amount on the brush so that the manicure comes out neat, and not voluminous, like a bubble. By the way, a monophonic manicure with white varnish is especially useful, firstly, if you need to emphasize tanned skin (thanks to the white varnish on the nails, you will get a bright, expressive contrast), and secondly, when you need to make the nail plate visually a little larger - light shades work like magnifying glass.

• In nail art, white varnish is also an indispensable tool. Most of all, it is necessary for lovers of the classic. To draw white stripes on the tips of the nails, special varnishes with a thin brush are produced. But you can cope with a jacket without much white varnish. Then auxiliary items will be needed for manicure: stencils (they are often included in French kits) or ordinary paper tape that can be glued to the tips of the nails in order to easily paint over them with white varnish neatly and evenly.

• Nail polish of white color can be painted not only for beauty, but also for practical use: it is used as a color. The fact is that colored varnishes, which look very bright in the bottle, after being applied to the nails, “manifest” themselves differently and lose their color saturation. To prevent this from happening, experienced manicurists advise you to first coat your nails with a layer of white varnish. Against such a background, colored coatings will look, perhaps even brighter than in the package.

Have you been looking for fresh ideas for a long time, suggesting how to make beautiful nails at home? Then your search is over, because these practical tips will suit every woman. You no longer need to visit expensive salons and manicure masters. At home, you can make a high-quality coating yourself without much effort.

How to paint nails at home?

In order for a manicure at home to turn out attractive and fresh, you will need a minimum of funds that will always be in your cosmetic bag. How beautiful to paint your nails at home? First you need to make sure that you have everything you need at hand. For a manicure (see photo), you will need a cuticle spatula (wooden or metal), a nail file, burr scissors and a sanding brush. Choose the coating yourself: it can be a colorless varnish or a bright and juicy shade.

In order to make beautiful nails, you first need to steam your hands. In a bath of water, add a few drops of lemon, your favorite liquid soap and essential oil. After the skin is wrinkled, start trimming the excess, keratinized skin around the nail, move the cuticles with a spatula. If they go well without the help of scissors, then remove what is not needed. Do the same with the second hand. After these manipulations, lubricate the nails and skin of the hands with cream so that it does not dry out after water procedures. When your hands are dry, start cutting out the shape you need. If you have short fingers, then opt for semi-square nails. If you are the owner of long fingers, then any shape will suit you.

It is forbidden to file nails with a zigzag method. Cut off unnecessary length by moving the nail file in one direction. So you protect your nails from defects. After the shape of the nails is done, the moment of polishing comes. There is a special nail file that cuts off the previous layer of the nail without making it thin and thus preparing it for coating. After the nail plate is prepared for applying varnish, stock up on cotton pads, sticks, toothpicks and nail polish remover.
