And holographic nail polish will allow you to create a bright, unforgettable design that will appeal not only to you, but also to the people around you.
Peculiarities
Despite its relatively recent appearance on store shelves, holographic polish has already won the hearts of many of the fair sex. This is not at all surprising, because with its help you can create a unique, colorful and inimitable, and most importantly, three-dimensional nail design. In fact, holographic nail polish is a varnish that, when mixed, forms a new, third bright color that is not similar to any of the used ones.
Like most other beauty products, this one has its own unique features that you should be aware of:
- To obtain such a unique product, two products of different shades are mixed at once and a special holographic powder is added to them, which is the smallest glitter.
- Depending on the degree of illumination and its intensity, the shade of the nails painted with this product may vary, therefore, many varnishes are sold as products with a chameleon effect. For example, green can turn into turquoise or even blue.
- A wide color palette allows you to create a unique and inimitable manicure, which makes it easy to stand out from the crowd.
- Such varnishes are very resistant to water, but at the same time they are easily removed from the nail plate even by the most inexpensive and simplest nail polish remover.
- You can enhance the effect of such a nail coating using special stickers, sparkles or rhinestones. The effect of such a manicure is able to strike on the spot many.
But like all cosmetic decorative products, it has its advantages and disadvantages.
If we talk about the disadvantages of such a coating for nails, then we can distinguish three main ones:
- Holographic varnish is very short-lived. As a rule, already on the second or third day, it begins to chip off the nail plate, thereby spoiling the overall picture of the manicure.
- Due to the large amount of glitter in the composition, this tool has to be removed from the nails much longer than the usual coating.
- This coating is only suitable for healthy, properly treated nails. Any unevenness of the nail plate will still be noticeable even under its three layers.
There are, of course, many more benefits.
These include ease of use and widespread availability, a beautiful unique manicure, the possibility of improvisation in the implementation of nail design. But all these advantages will be obvious and visible only if this tool is used correctly.
How to apply
The algorithm for performing a manicure in the style of "Holographic" is as follows:
- Preparing the necessary tools. It is necessary to disinfect the tweezers, nail file and nail scissors in advance. Prepare a bowl of warm water, a towel, a base coat and the varnish itself.In this case, you can use both a gel polish with a holographic effect, and a regular one.
- Hands are dipped in warm water and kept in it for about 10 minutes. Then the nails are cleaned of any impurities, the excess cuticle is removed, and the old coating is erased from the nail plate.
- Hands, especially fingers, are gently and thoroughly dried with a towel.
- The base is applied to the nails in turn, and after it dries, the holography coating itself is already applied. It is recommended to apply varnishes, starting with the little finger, so the probability of accidentally wiping off part of the coating from the plate is significantly reduced.
- If the nails are additionally decorated with sparkles or rhinestones, then they are placed on a slightly dry lacquer-holography with tweezers.
- At the end, the entire nail plate on each finger should be additionally painted over with a special color fixer.
If necessary, you can apply more than one layer of holographic on the nail plate, but two at once.
Such multi-layer staining results in a very beautiful and more resistant coating. The use of a base coat before applying the holographic varnish is mandatory. Without it, the manicure will not last long, and on the nails it will not be able to look as impressive as with the base.
It is also worth remembering that the first contact with water after performing such a manicure is allowed no earlier than one hour later. On average, such a holographic coating dries completely on the nails within 15-30 minutes. But there are some types that can dry longer. If this recommendation is not followed, the coating on the nails may immediately peel off or become covered with small bubbles.
Design Options
There are several options for nail design, using which you can create a unique nail art. And if you use several varnishes at once, use special stencils or stickers, you can create a truly unique and inimitable manicure.
One of the most popular manicure options is the precious metal style manicure. For its implementation, varnishes of gray, golden and platinum shades are used. Additionally, decorating the nail coating is not recommended. Such a nail design will be appropriate both at a chic evening event and at work. The main thing to remember is that using such a coating for nails, you need to use a minimum number of other bright accessories.
Chameleon coating is ideal for bright individual personalities.
The easiest way to do it is this: first, a regular manicure is performed using a holographic, and then the top of the nail plate is covered with a transparent chameleon varnish, which, shimmering in the light, will create a unique pattern.
A modern trendy manicure can be created using various rhinestones, stickers and sparkles. The final result will depend on the personal preferences of each woman.
