Glitter nail polish

Glitter manicure is very popular among both young girls and mature women. Thanks to modern manicure techniques, you can achieve any effect that will stylishly decorate the image. The design of a manicure with sparkles on the tips of the nails looks especially interesting and elegant. It is quite unusual, but at the same time it is restrained and versatile.

Sequins are the most effective and at the same time easy-to-use material for the design of high-quality manicure. The modern market offers a wide range of models. This iridescent material can be dry or liquid in texture. Glitters are applied to the surface of the nail using a special rub, brush or by hand. To achieve the most effective designs, several types of glitter can be used, which may vary in size or color.

Moreover, women often turn to this design option to extend the life of their manicure due to savings or lack of time. The fact is that with a neutral background in a manicure, skillfully performed using gel polish, even after a month and a half, the nail growth line remains unobtrusive, and the sparkles on the tips of the nail still look impressive and attract attention.

If a girl does not want to contact the master, but decided to make a manicure with sparkles on her own, then first she needs to decide on the type of material and the method of applying it. There are several varieties of glitter.

• Dry. These include the classic glitter or the "give" glittering dust.They are applied to the nail using a brush or a special tool that comes with the kit. In this case, application can be carried out by attaching them to a dry varnish or by dipping a brush with varnish into a tube of sparkles just before application. In some cases, for example, if the glitter is rather large, you can attach the glitter to a special permanent manicure glue over a layer of gel polish.

• Liquid. This option includes varnishes that already contain sparkles or a special liquid glitter. Applying them yourself is more difficult because another layer of texture is added to the base varnish - one mistake, and the tip of the nail will look sloppy and "thicker" than the rest of the manicure.

Before starting a manicure, you need to choose a base varnish, which will become the background for the sparkles. For a more versatile everyday design, it is best to choose varnishes in light pastel colors - milky, beige, peach, pale pink. To create a more daring evening look, it is recommended to pay attention to brighter and darker shades of varnish - red, black, blue. The color of the shiny part must be in perfect harmony with the base color. Light sequins with a metallic shine will suit both dark and light manicure, however, as well as multi-colored.

Manicure is performed in several stages.

1. Application of a base coat of clear varnish for long-lasting manicure.
2. Application of the second layer of varnish in the main color.
3. Without waiting for the varnish to dry to the end, in the case of dry sparkles, we take them on a brush and gently distribute them over the surface of the tip of the nail. In this case, the first layer can be applied to large sparkles, and then, fixing them with transparent varnish, smaller ones. Liquid glitter is applied in the same way, but you need to shade them more carefully and thoroughly.
4. Applying the final layer of clear varnish and waiting for the manicure to dry under the lamp.

Thus, you can easily create a spectacular manicure at home.

There are many design options for such a manicure. The most popular are the following methods.

• French manicure. To create a stylish modern jacket, glitter must be applied along the line of the tip of the nail using a template.
