Glowing nail polish
Currently, lovers of fashionable manicure can afford to carry out any fantasy. Quite often in nightclubs and at parties you can see the glowing claws of visitors in the dark.. It looks very unusual and causes the interest of others.
Kinds
When it comes to choosing a glowing nail polish, the modern market offers several options:
- Luck, which is based on neon. Its light can be seen only under ultraviolet light. In complete darkness, it is hardly noticeable, so it is not particularly popular among lovers of nightclubs. But the day looks very bright and spectacular. If desired, you can find only the most catchy colors: light green, orange, yellow. Other shades are difficult to find, since they are not very popular. Fluorescent nail polish has a similar effect.
- Phosphoric. He first absorbs the light, and then gives. In complete darkness, it shines with a light green or blue light. It is a tube with a transparent or muddy liquid with the same brush as for ordinary nail polishes. It is very difficult to find on the market, as manufacturers have ceased to create it due to the increased concentration of harmful substances in the composition.
- Luminescent gel is considered the most popular shimmering lacquer. If he remains in the light for a few minutes, then he will shine in complete darkness for a sufficiently long time. Compared with other species, fluorescent lacquer “burns” many times brighter and longer.
How to do it yourself
With the help of a special technology you can independently make a simple “burning” lacquer, as well as make the finished manicure visible in the dark. Varnishes that are made at home can shine no worse than expensive branded purchase items.
To create your own shining gel, you need to purchase a phosphor or phosphor powder, thanks to which the substance glows in the dark. You will also need the usual gel (color or transparent) and a palette in order to mix everything.
In order to get a luminous substance, you need to mix the existing varnish with phosphor in the ratio of 1: 4. Any smooth surface will do.
To shine longer manicure, you need to apply the material in several layers. In addition, if you want the light from the nails to please with its effect all night, you can increase the amount of phosphor. For reusable use, you can mix a large amount of ingredients and store the finished product in a bottle. Luminous powder can be combined with materials such as shellac, gel polish, acrylic and gel for nails.
When interacting with these materials, the phosphor is harmless to skin and nails.
Create a club image
If you are going to the night party, then you need to take into account absolutely all the nuances of your image. It is necessary to carefully consider the choice of attire, especially if your nails are covered with luminous varnish.
- A combination of a snow-white top or a dress in combination with a luminous gel will look very impressive. On a white background, it will seem even brighter.
- Just a mystical and incredible image is created when some parts in the wardrobe contain luminous elements along with nail polish. For example, a blouse with a shining pattern in itself attracts attention in complete darkness, so also sparkling nails that complement the image - such a style suits any club party girl.
- Recently, it has become increasingly popular to paint nails through one finger - such an effect in the dark makes a double impression: unusual and tangled, or staining all the nails in different colors for an even greater holiday mood.
- Very often fashionable women combine glowing nail polish and an accessory to match him, for example, a bracelet, brooch or earrings. Enough to cover the desired object with a substance containing the light element, and the composition is ready. You just need to remember to give it a “recharge” in the light before going to a dark place.
Interesting design
In order for the glowing varnish to look even more spectacular, you should pay attention to the most popular designs and drawings with its use.
- Stencil design using glowing nail gel can have a double effect. During the day, he may look like a regular jacket, and at night glow bright glitter.
- The lunar design looks very interesting, if the luminous substance is applied to the length of the nail, and the nail hole is left untouched. Then in the dark nails take the form of an arc.
- Favorite design - strip - looks very impressive if applied with the help of multi-colored shining gels. It can be straight or with a different grid spacing or just randomly intersecting lines. All this will look even brighter in dark light.
- Drawing a shining gel in daylight is extremely difficult, since it is almost transparent. But if you try to use this gel in artistic design, then you can afford any fantasy that no one will see in daylight, but in total darkness it will shine.
- Stamping design can also be used with a luminous nail gel. To do this, first apply the usual lacquer on the mini-stamp with the selected pattern, and then glowing, let the nails dry, “feed” with daylight and you can safely go to a nightclub.
A color scheme
Luminous gels do not have a smooth transition from one color to another, so you should carefully consider the selection of colors in manicure. Even if the clothes are combined with one of the shades in the manicure, it is far from a fact that in the dark the nails will look beautiful. Therefore, it is worth remembering the most successful color solutions:
- Red: purple, orange, yellow;
- Blue: lime, lime, turquoise;
- Green: navy blue.
For lovers of original design, consider the game of contrasts:
- Red Green;
- Blue: yellow, lime;
- Green: pink, orange.
Despite the fact that the luminous varnishes are all very bright and fancy, you can create a rather gentle image if you choose the right colors.
For example, violet and silver together give a peaceful combination. And for extravagant fashionistas who want to make a splash on the dance floor, combinations of antipode colors such as red - green, yellow - lilac, lime - pink will be interesting.
