Mirror manicure is one of the most striking and attractive trends of recent seasons. There are several ways to achieve this effect - with the help of varnish, film, foil or overlaid plates. Let's consider in detail each of the options.
Mirror manicure with Minx film
Specially designed thermo-stickers allow you to achieve, perhaps, the brightest manicure. They can be monochrome or with an unusual pattern: under a snake or leopard, with flowers or stripes, in stars or with abstraction. The Minx film is applied as follows:
- with a special stick heated under the lamp;
- after the coating has contracted and has taken the form of a nail plate, it is superimposed and smoothed;
- the excess is removed with the help of a nail file;
- The film is fixed by means of a conventional coating or Shellac.
Mirror manicure with foil
It looks more glossy than any varnish, but still not as flawless as Minx. Unlike the first method, where the film itself has a sticky side, in this case you will need special glue. The foil is also used special, it can be transferable and non-transferable - this fact is important to consider when buying.
Manicure with a mirror coating of varnish
With the help of nail polish the effect is somewhat different. In fact, a pronounced "mirror" you will not achieve, but to create such a coating at home is much easier. One of the best varnishes is Layla Mirror Effect Nail Polish - the reflecting particles in it are the smallest. Also, good options are available from the following brands:
- Essie - Mirror Metallics;
- Stranger - Chrome Metal;
- Maybelline - Mirror Magic;
- Sally Hansen - Chrome Nail Makeup;
- OPI - Your Royal Shine-ness.
Mirror manicure with sequins
Another way to achieve a retro-reflective effect in manicure is mirror-like grinding. To do this, use small glitter-pollen, which are applied to a slightly dried coating. Do not use quick-drying varnishes - it is very difficult to determine the moment when the varnish is no longer lubricated, but still not clutching hard. Shimmer is poured on the cover from the jar with a brush or applied with a finger (depending on the desire of the master). Next sequins are literally rubbed into the lacquer. This should be done very carefully so that the coating remains uniform.
The last way to achieve a manicure with a mirror shine is to use false nails . They are sold in some specialized stores. Work with them is easier than with any of the above methods, but often the factory plates do not match the size of the nail, because of which there is an empty space on the sides.
