Fortunately, the modern beauty industry has already progressed very far in terms of beautiful manicure.

On how to make a manicure with acrylic powder, you will learn from the video.

Initially, acrylic was used in ... dentistry! With it, dentists restored teeth. But soon his unique properties were noticed by the masters of the nail industry and acrylic powder was used for manicure. Consider its main advantages:

• For lovers of club life there is a beautiful neon powder. When the neon lights are turned on in the nightclub, the leggings, decorated with it, begin to glow with a bright light.

In order to decide which acrylic powder is right for you, you need to answer the question: what result do you want to achieve with it? so:

• If you are interested in strengthening the nail plate or you want to correct the shape or increase the length of the nail, choose a powder with a transparent coating;
• You are worried about irregularities on the surface of the plate, spots, stripes - it means that your choice is camouflaging acrylic powder;
• If you want a bright unusual manicure with volumetric patterns or stucco decorations - any colored, shiny or neon powder will suit for this purpose.

To do this, read the instructions below and follow them strictly step by step, without missing anything:

• First, degrease the surface of the nail;
• Next, apply the base with a thin layer. Carefully cover the entire nail plate. Drying in a UV lamp is not required;
• Take a jar of acrylic powder, put it on the brush and sprinkle the nail, holding it over the jar. Thus, the excess powder will not disappear, but will be poured back into the container;
• The next step will be drying in the ultraviolet;
• Gently brush the excess powder off the cuticle with a manicure brush;
• Apply to nails gel or simple nail polish.

Here's how to do it:

• First of all, classical nail processing is performed (the cuticle and barbs are removed, the desired shape of the nail edge is attached);
• The surface of the nail is degreased;
• The base is applied, dried in ultraviolet light;
• After that, the surface of each nail is covered with gel varnish. It is advisable to apply 2-3 layers, each of which is dried in the lamp;
• Further, using the same gel polish (or another one, selected to your taste), using a thin brush, a three-dimensional pattern is performed on each of the marigolds;
• The resulting pattern is sprinkled on top with acrylic powder;
• Within 2 minutes, the nails are dried in the lamp.

Design solutions:

• French. In order to perform it with acrylic powder, first choose powder. Classic - white matte powder, but you can choose any color that you like. So, first we prepare our pens: we make a manicure according to all the rules, we give the nails the desired shape. Best of all french looks on square nails. We degrease the nail plate, put the base, then gel lacquer in 2 layers, each of which is dried in a UV lamp. Next, apply gel polish again, but do not dry it. Alternately lower the tips of the nails in a prepared jar of acrylic powder. A thin, flat strip will appear on them. Gently remove excess powder from your finger with a soft dry brush, apply a transparent finish gel, dry the nails in a UV lamp;

• Matte manicure. Recently matte nails have become very fashionable. Someone makes such an effect on all fingers, others decorate 1-2 nails on the hand in this way. It is easy to make such a manicure: first prepare the marigold in the same way as in the previous case (degreasing - base - gel polish in 2 layers), put the finish without drying in the lamp; then sprinkle each nail, holding it over a jar with the selected powder (transparent powder is best suited). We send to the UV-lamp for polymerization, after which we remove the excess powder with a brush;
• Velvet manicure. It is performed in the same way as matte, but there is a difference: nails covered with finish gel are dried in the lamp, and after a thin brush patterns are applied. To do this, you can use either the same gel polish or gel paint. On top of the resulting pattern is sprinkled with acrylic powder, marigolds are dried in a UV lamp, and the excess powder is brushed away. Powder can be used both transparent and colored;

• Summer nail design. Summer is the time for bright colors and experiments. Therefore, it's time to try a very “tasty” version of manicure with acrylic powder - “marmalade”. Its distinctive feature is this: you sprinkle marigolds with several shades of colored powder, as if making the transition from one color to another. It turns out very beautiful and unusual;
• Knitted manicure. The summer has passed, winter has come. It's time to think about the current at this time of year "knitted" design of nails. The algorithm of its implementation is as follows: we process nails, apply a base coat, two layers of gel polish, finish. Dry nails in ultraviolet, remove the dispersion layer.Next, we begin to apply “winter” motifs with a thin brush: braids, rhombuses, stripes - to get the effect of a knitted sweater, as well as snowflakes and New Year’s drawings. Dried in the lamp and put the pattern in the second layer, to obtain the volume. Top sprinkle it with acrylic powder, send the nails to polymerize, brush off the rest of the powder;

• Nail patterns. Above has been shown the technique of performing various patterns on the nails. However, if you do not feel in yourself the talent of the artist, and simply do not have experience in drawing, do not despair! For beginners, special stencils are invented, using which you can easily make the pattern you like;
• Use of rhinestones, bouillon. If you are a lover of brilliant volumetric jewelry on the nails, you will like the following version of the manicure with acrylic powder, namely: decorating them with rhinestones and broths. Here's how to do it: first, of course, you perform a manicure, degrease the nail plate and apply a thin layer of base coat. Then, you take the finish gel without a sticky layer and mix it with a transparent acrylic powder to obtain a thick consistency. Next, cover the resulting mass of the nail, install rhinestones or bouillons, polymerize in a UV lamp.

• Brilliant powder in nail design. "Powder" nails and three-dimensional drawings can be not only matte, but also shiny acrylic powder. Due to the content in the composition of the sparkling microparticles, she still plays the sun, shimmering and glaring. There are a lot of design options: you can decorate all nails with it or apply it only on 1-2 fingers. The pattern, powdered with glitter powder, takes on a special, elegant look. For example, the winter version of the manicure, made in cold tones, in tandem with blue shiny powder, will remind of ice crystals sparkling in the sun, and bright summer design will add glitter to the sun;
• Sculpting on the nails. And finally, we got to a special type of nail design with acrylic powder - decorative molding. Of course, this option is not quite suitable for everyday wear, most often it is performed for special solemn occasions (wedding, anniversary of something, birthday, New Year, etc.). When decorating nails in this way, the main thing is not to overdo it, because too pretentiously decorated nails look ugly and tasteless.

To remove the nail polish gel with acrylic, use the following recommendations:

• To begin with, carefully cut the top layer (finishing) using a nail file, buff or a manicure machine;
• Take a special liquid to remove such a coating, moisten cotton wool or discs, attach them to the surface of the nail and seal it in cosmetic foil. Important: do not allow excessive fluid contact with the skin of the fingers, in order to avoid irritation;
• Wait 10 minutes;
• Remove the foil and cotton wool from your fingers. Gel polish is already starting to go. You do not need to peel it off the nail, so you can harm them. It is better to take a pusher and gently move the exfoliated gel polish to the tip of the nail;
• Again, repeat the procedure of wrapping nails with special liquid, foil and cotton;
• Wait 10 minutes;
• Take pusher again and gently clean the nails from the remnants of gel polish and acrylic;
• Sand your nails with a buff.

If you carry out this procedure aggressively and carelessly, later you will be able to face such problems as peeling nails, thinning of the nail plate, the appearance of tubercles and depressions, increased fragility. Therefore, have patience and carry out the removal procedure delicately and carefully. For this, your marigold will thank you with a healthy look and strong structure.
