Gel-lacquer matte. Nail design options

Among today's various materials for manicure is particularly distinguished gel-lacquer matte. Why? Because now he is at the peak of popularity among girls. Manicure, performed with his help, attracts the attention of others, catches and intrigues.

All facets of dullness

Than so it is remarkable gel-varnish matte? Yes, even if it can be "done" yourself from any gel-lacquer. But this will be discussed below. Matt manicure with gel-lacquer came into fashion relatively recently: a couple of seasons ago, but already managed to fall in love with many girls. And there is for that. Glossy and pearly designs, as well as floral / animals and their prints have already become boring - they have been tried along and across. A matte gel for nails is something from the category of a small black dress: refined, beautiful, stylish and feminine. Therefore, all facets of dullness, whether it's a manicure or an accessory, have become a new and, perhaps, immortal hit.

Design Options

They can be mass, if you use gel-lacquer mat on natural nails. And they, by the way, too have returned to a fashion, having displaced from a pedestal accrued nails. Now it's not enough just to completely cover the nail plates with a matte gel-varnish to get a stylish manicure. No, the trends are such that they simply require interesting designs. For example, a combination of glossy and matte, where on one coating with the help of another exactly the same color pattern or pattern is made. This is actual! For example, glossy droplets of water are depicted on a matte nail. It's interesting and stylish, but it's simple and fast. Or another option: all the fingers are covered with a matte gel-varnish, and on one the whole nail is lined with rhinestones. A kind of festive option, because everyday is too smart and impractical.

Out of gloss in matte

Many owners of color coating for nails are wondering how to make the gel-lacquer frosted, and whether it is possible at all. Yes it is possible. At what at once in two ways. Which one is better for the girls themselves.

Method number 1

Those who have already applied and dried the material, and only then wondered how to make the gel-lacquer frosted, you can advise you to use the matte top. True, it had to be bought beforehand. This is a universal tool that allows any gel-lacquer to make matte in one brush movement. And to purchase separately a covering of the necessary shade, but not in gloss, it is not necessary any more. Economical and simple. After drying the top, a sticky layer is removed from it, if at all, and voila-a matt manicure with gel-lacquer is ready.

Method number 2

This option implies "barbarous", from the point of view of masters, actions. First, the nails are prepared and processed in the usual way, then the base is applied, the layer of the colored gel-varnish is dried, the colored layer is repeatedly applied. And here at this stage, even before drying in the UV lamp, the nails are held for several seconds over a pot of boiling water! From the rising steam, the structure of the gel-varnish is somewhat modified, the gloss disappears ("skukozhivaetsya"), giving way to haze. With the fixer, you will have to repeat the procedure so that it also becomes turbid. It is worth noting that this version has a significant drawback - there is no guarantee that dullness will appear on all nails equally. It can happen that one finger will be more saturated, and on others the color will change completely beyond recognition. Therefore, the method is considered barbaric.

Correct application

It would seem that it can be simpler than how to apply a matte gel-lacquer. Take it for yourself, and cover your nails as well as usual colored material. But not everything is so simple. There are some special features and tricks. And you need to know them in advance, even before the procedure begins. If there are no differences at the stage of preparation, then in the process of application there are a couple of rules.

Basis of the basics

First, the nails are filed to the desired shape and length with a sufficiently soft nail file, and the cuticle is either pushed back by the gunner, or even removed with a gel / clipper. After this, necessarily remove the greasy luster with a natural nail buff and degreaser. As it can be used and the usual liquid for the removal of lacquer, which includes acetone (that is, almost any with rare exceptions). Touching the fingernails afterwards is impossible, otherwise you will have to remove the fatty film again. The base is applied exactly the same way as when doing a manicure - in a thin layer. It dries in the UV lamp in only 60-90 seconds. The sticky layer is not removed from it. You can not touch the base with your hands.

Colored Layers

Gel-lacquer matte is applied exactly the same as simple. The first layer is very thin, without touching the cuticle and lateral ridges. It dries in the UV lamp for approximately 90-120 seconds. After that, the second layer is applied, also very thinly. The advantage of a matte gel-varnish is that it practically does not tear on the nails. Therefore, usually two layers are enough.

Fastening

In order to keep the material dull, the top should also be matte! If you apply normal glossy, then the whole meaning of the material is lost. Therefore, the manicure is fixed solely with a matte fixer. The question arises: why should one not buy separately glossy gel-varnishes. And actually, that's why: there is a material 3 in 1, which does not require either a base or a fixer. So you should carefully read what is written on the vial. If it is not indicated that this tool is 3 in 1, then the top is definitely needed. And necessarily matte, otherwise the manicure will not live up to expectations.

Design Execution

To diversify manicure, make it more interesting and unusual, you can combine the nails with the effect of matte and gloss. Even a short jacket can only become more expressive and original. When the marigold is already covered with frosted gel-varnish and fixer, you can draw a line of a smile with the help of a glossy top and a thin brush. Under the rays of the UV lamp, the material will solidify, the result is an original and stylish, yet simple in design design. Exactly the same way you can perform a drip manicure. On the matte surface with a fine brush or dotted dot glossy droplets are put on top. After drying, a long-lasting and beautiful design is obtained.

Ideas for manicure

Gel-lacquer matte, the design of which is simple enough, can be used not only in combination with a glossy top as described above. So, for example, on one nail can make an aquarium design with an unusual pattern or even in the style of "liquid stones", on the others - manicure matte. This combination makes nail art very stylish and unusual, attracting the attention of others. By the way, matte gel-lacquer is often used to perform design in the style of craquelure (with the effect of cracking). This also gives the image a unique charm and originality, which is often lacking in everyday life. The effect of cracking can be obtained both with the help of special fixers for shellacs, and independently, using only a thin brush, drawing all the elements by hand. Such manicure in the style of matte craquelure makes it possible to make the nail art particularly interesting, and does not take much time. The color scale is chosen individually for the outfit, mood or accessories. By the way, all of the above can be done with the usual nail polish, however, the result will be several times less - 3-4 days, no more.
