Let's look at another way to create a beautiful manicure using velvet sand. The technology is simple, the main thing is to do everything in stages.

First of all, the nails need to prepare. Here the process is practically no different from preparing nails for a simple gel manicure.They need to carefully file, adjust the shape, and then degrease. Next on the surface of the nail plate should be applied a layer of the base. After it should be the main shade. Ideally, it should coincide with the color of velvet sand or differ from it by only a few shades.

Immediately spread a thin layer of colored sand on the surface. After you cover the entire nail or create the desired pattern, wait until they dry. At room temperature, it is all dried for twenty minutes. During this time, do not need to do anything, just relax and wait. You can fix the result by covering your nails with a special finish.

If you have done something wrong in the process, you can fix visible defects with a special brush. Clean it off the surface of the fingers behind the edge of the nail plate. If you have some free time, then you may well speed up the process of drying your nails using a UV lamp. In this case, you will need less than five minutes.

We should also consider the process of applying patterns with velvet effect. This is also done in stages, but the technology is slightly different.

The first stage is the preparation of your nails. They need to give a suitable shape, cover the base and the main layer of varnish. Next you need to put the finish and dry the nails. And only after that you can proceed to the creation of patterns.

The outline of the pattern should be drawn with a simple gel polish. Paint the desired color is recommended to spread a convex edging. So you get a beautiful volumetric effect of your pattern. After you draw the outline of the future pattern, it needs to be covered with sand. Make it easy. Just sprinkle the entire nail plate with a thin layer of sand - it will only fix itself where needed. Make sure that the sand layer is the same thickness everywhere.

After that, the remnants of sand that are on the nails, you need to gently remove with a brush. Need to move in the direction of the cuticle and to the edge of the nail. So you do not damage the manicure, but only bring it to perfection.

If you plan to fix the pattern on the nails, then you need a simple top, which is used when creating a manicure gel polish. To fix the layer of the top on the nails, you can use a semi-dry brush. Apply it with light touches to the nail plate, as if hammering it into the surface. He will hold the grains of sand between them.

Regardless of whether you covered the nails with “sand” completely or just created velvet patterns on their surface, after completing the procedures and complete drying of the nails, wash your hands with warm water and moisten them with cream.

With the help of high-quality color “sand” for a manicure, you can create several variants of an interesting design at once. Let's look at the most popular ones.

The easiest option is simple plain nails covered with velvet sand. For this purpose, you can use the "liquid sand" of different shades. If you want to cheer yourself up and create a bright bow, then you can combine several different tones together. For example, add turquoise glossy tones with inserts of a bright and saturated color called “orange cake”.

You have probably seen the original version of the manicure, in which the coating resembles the “braids” of a warm knitted sweater. Such patterns are relevant not only in winter. They look unusual, but at the same time very attractive.

As a result of this combination, the nail looks like a tiny cushion for decoration.

The time-tested option is nails with floral patterns. They are suitable for almost all girls and women.Look "velvet" flowers on the nails charmingly and gently. You can paint irises, roses, peonies and any other flowers that attract you on the surface of the nail plate.

You can not ignore the trend and "moon" manicure. When doing it, you can isolate with the help of sand either the base of the nail or the hole. And in fact, and in another case, the nails look very beautiful and unusual. You can also go the other way and highlight the free edge of the nail with a different texture. So you get an unusual version of the French manicure.

It is removed as well as the usual gel polish, with the help of cotton pads, special liquid and foil. It is important to remember to moisturize the skin with a cream after removal so that the epidermis around the nails does not dry out.

Another important feature is that such a manicure lasts a long time. Although at first glance it seems to be quite short-lived, in practice, the nails will “hold” as much as a simple gel manicure. At the same time, it is quite possible to wet them, so housework will not particularly spoil the beauty on your nails. If necessary, it can be easily adjusted.

They look fashionable and stylish. You can “stylize” a manicure yourself by fitting it to the event or image you need.

For everyday images, you can choose a neutral manicure, which will be suitable for everything that you wear during the week and at work, and to meet with friends.
