Gel Polish "broken glass"

Despite the fact that the classic monochromatic nails do not go out of fashion, over time there are many interesting trends that can be used to dilute a routine manicure. Among them - broken glass gel polish. It looks quite unusual and shimmers in the sun. Let's look at its features and technology of its creation.

For the first time this unusual type of manicure appeared in South Korea. This is not surprising, because most of the bright youth trends appear in this country, and only then come to us. Now this new product in the world of nail art has spread throughout the world and is popular with girls from both Asian and European countries.

At first glance it may seem that pieces of broken glass are really glued on the nail plate. But in reality, this is certainly not the case. This effect is achieved by sticking on the nails pieces of holographic cellophane, which is unevenly distributed over their surface. They form a beautiful pattern that effectively shimmers in the sun.

To date, with the help of gel polish and holographic cellophane, you can get a romantic manicure, and a solemn, and effective fantastic pattern. The main thing is to know what you want to achieve and strictly follow the instructions.

The advantage of this manicure is that it is very easy to make it at home. There is a basic technique that you can repeat at home.

Let's understand the features of this procedure. For her, you will need all the materials that you use in ordinary manicure and a few extra ones. Of the special things worth stock up with pieces of foil or a more professional tool - thereby cellophane, able to reflect light. And for its proper location, you will need ordinary tweezers.

You will learn more about creating a broken glass manicure in the following video.

The process of preparing nails for gel manicure with the effect of broken glass is not much different from the usual. You also need to adjust the shape of the nails, polish and degrease them well. Apply a layer of base and colored lacquer to the nail plate. But after the nail plate is covered with the main color, it is not necessary to dry the nails immediately.

At this stage, it is worth applying the chopped into small pieces of holographic cellophane. It can be placed as you like. To obtain the desired pattern, it is important to be extremely accurate and accurate. After all, if you begin to move the pieces of cellophane on the gel surface, then this only spoil the base.

Separate "fragments" need to spread on the nail plate with tweezers. Without it, you can not so beautifully and accurately form beautiful pictures. When applying individual parts they can be placed in a random order, and trying to form some volumetric patterns.

When the manicure is ready, all this needs to be fixed with a special finishing coating. And just at this stage it is worth moving to drying nails under the rays of an ultraviolet lamp. Such a manicure lasts from several days to a couple of weeks. Since the foil covers the base of the nail, it is not so badly damaged and looks attractive longer.

With the help of foil and gel polish, you can create not only a trend "space" manicure, but also others. Let's see what can be done with the help of holographic cellophane and a color base.

It would seem that French manicure is a one hundred percent classic. But his modern masters continue to actively improve. The “broken glass” technique is an original way to make even the simplest manicure more unusual.

Another option is to make a classic jacket, and on one or several fingers to perform a “glass” coating. In this case, pieces of foil can be glued on a white, beige or neutral background. This combination looks very beautiful and unusual.

This option is suitable even for those who do not particularly like to experiment or prefer the classic style. If you select only one nail on each hand, and draw the rest under a jacket, then everything will look neat and restrained.

This is another trend that is actively returning to fashion. But if the moon manicure seems too boring to you, then it can be supplemented with “broken glass pieces”. Here you can act on the same principle as with a French manicure. The application technique allows you to leave the hole light, not closing it with pieces of "foil".

Here you need to work very carefully so as not to go beyond its limits. If you fix such a manicure with a quality coating, it will not only look as effective as possible, but also last a long time.

If you are doing a manicure with the effect of broken glass, then the easiest way to create abstract patterns on the surface of the nail plate, arranging the pieces as you think beautiful. Putting pieces of shiny material on gel polish, you can achieve the effect of cracked glass to resemble precious stones. The first option is reminiscent of "liquid glass". A similar effect can be obtained with the help of ready-made varnish, which, after application, cracks as it dries. But this result does not look so impressive.

Another more complicated variant of decorating nails using the same technique is the formation of patterns. From pieces of holographic cellophane, you can lay out the silhouette of a heart, a geometric figure or a precious pebble. It will look more original. But here you need to have at least a small practice. Therefore, this option manicure is better to entrust salon masters. They can position and fasten individual pieces more professionally, creating a spectacular and brilliant finish.

However, even a regular manicure, created using the same color gel polish and foil, also looks quite interesting. Best of all, as practice shows, such a pattern looks on the basis of a deep-colored lacquer - on blue, violet, burgundy or emerald color.

It would look awkward and repulsive. As a rule, one or several nails are decorated in this way, and the rest remain just colored. At the same time, the color of the base should be the same on the nails covered with pieces of “glass” and free from such decor.

However, if you want to create a beautiful romantic manicure, then you can take light pastel shades as a basis. It looks gentle and neat. Such a manicure can be chosen as an addition to your solemn image for graduation or wedding. In any case, the attention of others will be provided to you.

This season, he enjoys great popularity among world stars and among ordinary girls.

Most often it is made in the summer when the sun shines as brightly as possible and makes the nails flicker beautifully. So if you have not tried this trend, then it's time to pay attention to it.

This manicure is simple in execution. It can be done not only in the salon conditions, but even at home, if you have the right amount of time, some skills and desire. Using the advice of professionals and simple instructions, which indicate how to apply the parts step by step on the gel base, you can easily repeat it at home. Removing it is also no more difficult than a simple gel polish.
