Design gel varnish for long nails
Nowadays, professional manicure has ceased to be a luxury, but has become a mandatory attribute of a modern, well-groomed woman. Regardless of what kind of nails nature has bestowed on you, you can trust the modern technologies of modeling the nail plate and make yourself the manicure you want. Thanks to the extension procedure, you can get nails of such length in 2 hours that will be comfortable and pretty for you. If you are the owner of long natural marigolds, try decorating them with gel polish.
What it is
Gel polish is called a hybrid form of nail polish and gel. Unlike conventional lacquer coating, gel polish is not erased from nails due to external influences (for example, washing dishes or cleaning the apartment), has a dense coating and keeps on nail plates for a very long time (up to 4 weeks). It is dried in a UV lamp.
Benefits
It is impossible to challenge the obvious positive aspects of doing a manicure using gel polish. They are as follows:
- Long coating time.
With the correct application of gel polish can stay on the nails up to one and a half months.
- Coating stability and quickness of drying.
Since this tool undergoes polymerization under a special lamp, a situation where you can accidentally lubricate or tear off the coating after its application is completely excluded.
- The ability to experiment with the design.
Gel texture, bright saturated colors and durability of the coating allow you to perform almost any design on the nails.
- Strengthening the nail plate.
Before applying directly colored gel polish, the nail master necessarily covers the nails with a protective strengthening layer of a transparent base gel, building up a beautiful plate architecture and creating additional reinforcement. Some products contain substances that help strengthen and grow marigolds.
- Coating density and variety of shades.
To get an even beautiful color with ordinary nail polish, you have to apply it in several layers, which dry for a very long time. Gel polish is also applied in 2-3 layers, but at the same time “bald spots” are excluded, the surface remains shiny for a long time, the color does not tarnish, the coating does not climb in a couple of days.
- Hypoallergenic. Gel Polish does not cause an allergic reaction, it can be recommended for use even during pregnancy and lactation.
disadvantages
Of course, nothing in this world is perfect, and therefore this method of coating the nail plates also has its weak points:
- If you are not a nail master and do not have the necessary equipment and skills, you cannot apply gel polish yourself, so you have to visit the nail salon monthly;
- To remove such a coating from the nails, you will also have to go to the master. - Attempts to remove it on their own can lead to serious damage to the nail plates;
- When the nail grows, an unpainted area near the cuticle will be visible, therefore, you need to somehow update the coverage.
Design options
Long, well-groomed beautifully shaped marigolds have always been loved and demanded by women. Besides the fact that they look very feminine, an elongated nail plate can be a great “field” for experiments.
Let's look at the most popular types of design solutions that adorn long nails:
- French manicure.
French is a classic, not giving up their positions for several years. There are many variations of this wonderful design. "Smile line" now does not have to be white, just as the nail bed is flesh-colored.Feel free to experiment with colors and shades, add glitter, rhinestones, bouillons. It looks very beautiful with a French manicure separately decorated (usually ringless) finger, painted with patterns or decorated with stucco.
Classic white jacket remains at the top of the rating of wedding nail design.
It also goes well with a strict business style clothing.
- "Lunar" manicure.
Another popular design option for long nails with gel polish. The technology of its execution lies in the fact that the moon has a nail (its white part is in the shape of a crescent, located under the cuticle) is covered with one color, while the rest of the nail plate is different. In this case, you can use a combination of gel varnishes, which differ in texture, decorate the moon with decorative elements, experiment with the color mix.
- Gradient (ombre).
Gradient manicure is a smooth transition from one color to another on one nail. Flowers can be any number - it depends on your desire and professionalism of the nail master. Gradient looks great on long nails.
The painting, rhinestones, glitters combine well with it.
- Thematic manicure.
Variant of nail painting, dedicated to any event or holiday. So, on Halloween they often ask to decorate nails with pumpkins or various evil spirits (witches, ghosts), for the New Year and Christmas snowflakes, Christmas trees, deer and bright Christmas tree decorations are relevant. The longer the nail, the more interesting is such a painting.
- Monophonic manicure.
However, with all the possible variety of options for decorating an elongated nail plate, do not underestimate the classic monochromatic coating. Firstly, such nails will suit any image and outfit; secondly, they have not lost their relevance for many years and will never go out of fashion; well, and thirdly, even monotonous marigolds can be “diluted” with one or two fingers covered with another gel varnish, differing in color or texture. It looks great "golden" or "silver" nail on the ring finger.
- Negative Space or "negative space."
The meaning of this design is that the nail plate combines empty areas and places covered with gel varnish. The most common traced lines and chaotic spots.
- Art manicure.
Marigolds are pre-coated with gel varnish, then with the help of liners, acrylic paints, stamping patterns are applied to them. Geometric, animalistic, vegetable prints, as well as abstract figures and drawings on the beach theme are very popular.
The design of long nails with gel polish is a great solution in conditions of constant employment and haste.
After all, it is enough to visit the manicurist once every 3-4 weeks - and you will be provided with beautiful neat nails for a long time. And modern developments and innovations of the nail industry will help you choose exactly what is close to you in spirit and suits your unique image.
