Metal manicure

What do metal mirror manicure and the Chicago "Cloud Gate" sculpture created by Anish Kapoor have in common? And the first and second - art-modern objects, because you can not tear your eyes from ideally polished surfaces! Silver and gold metal manicure, also called Hollywood, is incredibly in demand today. It seems that the nails are covered with a very thin layer of metal. Such a manicure perfectly complements the evening image, and everyday makes extraordinary.

Metal foil

To create a metallic manicure used a variety of techniques and materials. The simplest option is applying a special reflective film. To make a mirror manicure at home, it is necessary to have at hand:

This design begins with a hygienic manicure. A normal metal manicure or a metallic manicure with a pattern always attracts attention, so cuticles should be handled with the utmost care. Mirror shine is guaranteed only if the nail plates are polished flawlessly. After hygienic manicure, the base is applied under the varnish, and after it is completely dried, the base coat is applied. Then, using an orange stick, the foil is glued. Making sure that the foil tightly adhered to the nail, its sharp movement is broken. It remains to apply a fixer, and the manicure is ready!

Mirror tips

This method is even simpler, but it does not suit owners of thin and too graceful fingers. The fact is that silvery and golden tipsy thicken the nail plate. As a result, the manicure can look somewhat rough.

The nails are fastened very easily. It is enough to apply a special glue on the plates and fix the tips. Metal manicure with the help of false artificial marigolds is good because it allows you to complete the image in a few minutes. By the way, it was the steel tips that adorned the hands of Gigi Hadid during the Ball of the Met Gala 2016 costume institute, and blew up social networks with a new trend of nail art.

Metal powder

A manicure with metal ornaments, strips, original curves or divorces can be done in two ways described above, but it is extremely difficult to achieve an ideal mirror surface. But the beauty industry is not standing still, and today there is such a unique product as metal powder. To make a metal manicure with this powder, it is enough to rub it thoroughly with a special puff into the surface of the nail. Often the base coat is a black gel gel. Black manicure , treated with a powder with a metallic sheen, looks incredibly stylish!

Separate attention deserves and design, in which the metal luster of the coating acts as an element of decor. These are stripes that are traditionally used in the moon and French manicure, vertical, horizontal and fantasy lines that adorn the background coverage.

There is also a separate category of nail polish with a mirror effect. To obvious minuses of such a manicure include the fragility of the coating, which can be covered with miniature cracks the very next day. And do not forget that for mirror manicure only lacquers with a mark of mirror are suitable, and means with the inscription metallic are designed to create a matte effect. Having chosen the optimal method of performing a mirror manicure, you still have to anticipate the kisses with which your hands will be covered!
