Manicure "space"

To date, in the world of nail-art, perhaps all the advanced technologies have already been mastered, including the most modern ones - 3D, thanks to which butterflies flap their wings on the nails, buds of unprecedented beauty bloom or wild cats sneak ... But if you are already tired of cute flower butterflies, It's time to turn to the topic of cold, but such a bewitching space.

The boundless distances of the Universe, its riddles and mysteries arouse genuine interest today. And just imagine: your manicure can also become a piece of space!

The theme of space and distant galaxies is definitely in trend today. "Star Wars", "Prometheus", "Pandorum" - almost every third Hollywood blockbuster is devoted to the space theme. The fashion industry is also not far behind: in boutiques and salons, we see a huge variety of models of clothing and accessories in the style of Galaxy. For a long time at the peak of popularity were items of clothing decorated with thematic prints - images of distant galaxies and nebulae, astronauts and spaceships.

Masters made the first attempts to use space motifs in nail-art a long time ago. They tried to apply star clusters and comets with the help of stickers and sparkles, but progress does not stand still, and today the beauty industry has much more diverse options for imitating the Milky Way and the starry sky.

A nail manicure using galactic objects or in the form of a starry sky looks very impressive, and its versatility is also an undoubted argument in favor of this type of nail design: a manicure looks great in everyday life, at work in the office, and at the same time demonstrates your individuality during evening out. Space nail-art looks not only original, but also modern, star galaxies and scatterings of sparkling stars on nails cannot but attract attention! And indeed: such a manicure attracts the views of others like a magnet.

Although at first it seems that not everyone can create a small universe on the nails, but knowing the technology, any girl who is knowledgeable in matters of manicure will cope with this task.

With the help of the tips from this article, you can easily cope with the original manicure.To create starry spaces on your nails, you will need a little time, a lot of inspiration and a certain set of materials and tools.

A manicure in the Galaxy style should begin (as, indeed, any other) with hygienic treatment of nails. This procedure will not only ensure a neat manicure, but will also contribute to the uniform application of varnish and a longer preservation of the manicure.

Next, you need to clean the nails from the old varnish and file, do not forget to process the cuticle. It must either be pushed back with a pusher, or removed by treating with a special gel. We will not dwell on the preparation stage in detail: every girl is familiar with the standard procedures from removing the cuticle to processing nails with a nail file.

To design marigolds in the style of space, different options for their shape are possible. Therefore, when choosing it for a star manicure, it is better to build on the shape of the fingers. The square shape is considered to be optimal, since it is resistant to breakage and looks good in a space manicure. The oval shape of the nails also looks very good in this style.

The procedure for filing nails must be performed carefully, moving the nail file in exactly one direction - from the edge of the nail to the top. The movements should be smooth, and the nails must be dry (manipulations with wet nails cause their increased fragility).

Galaxy glitter manicure is the easiest way, which does not require any special skills, tools, or even materials.The essence of the method lies in the fact that the nails prepared in a standard way are covered with a base, after it dries, a base is applied on top of it - a dark varnish. If necessary, apply it in 2 layers. After it dries, you can start applying varnish with glitter. It is very important with this method to let the coating dry properly, otherwise the manicure will crumble and deteriorate. The final step will be varnish with small sparkles.

Another, more interesting way of nail-art - "space" - is a design with a sponge. In order for the manicure to turn out at home, and you do not spend extra effort and time on its creation, stock up on the following in advance:

• Dark varnish, (to be used as a base). Give preference to black or dark blue.
• Varnish of a light shade (you will need it to create nebulae).
• A couple of bright varnishes.
• Lacquer with light sparkles (it is useful for reproducing planets),
• Transparent fixer (you can use colorless varnish).
• Sponge
• A piece of paper.
• A palette to mix shades.

Creating a bewitching space-style drawing requires a strict sequence of manipulations:

• First of all, you need to cover all the nails with black or another dark varnish of your choice. Pay attention to the density of the coating: to make the color more saturated, you can apply a double layer. Next, take a short pause (2-3 minutes) for the varnish to dry sufficiently.
• As soon as the polish has set, do the following: apply a thin layer of light polish on the sponge, and with light, as if wetting movements, make nebulae on the nails.
• After that, on the clean part of the sponge, you need to apply a small amount of bright varnish and blot each nebula. To get a more realistic image, you can use a couple of additional bright colors. Please note that there should be no excess paint on the sponge, and the first stroke should be checked on a piece of paper.
• You can apply varnish with a sponge in spots, in the form of zigzags or stripes - it depends on what kind of stellar phenomenon you want to decorate your fingers with: a galaxy, the milky way or a comet. Excess paint will need to be wiped off.
• Having finished the process of depicting nebulae, you can proceed to drawing the planets using light sparkles of different sizes.
• The final step will be the application of a fixer or just a clear varnish.

Design with varnish is the most popular option for space manicure today. However, along with undeniable advantages, it also has a number of disadvantages: a common problem of the method is the short life of the coating due to the rapid “sliding” from the nails from the abundance of varnish layers. After about 5 days, such a manicure can take on a sloppy look. In this case, the masters offer to use the advantages of space photo design.

You must first peel off the image using tweezers and place it on the nail covered with the base, the excess parts must be carefully cut off with scissors. We do the same 9 more times - and you can cover all the nails with a fixative.There are a huge number of options for space-themed images, so difficulties in this method can only arise with a choice. Modern photo designs glow in the dark, hands with such a manicure look very, very unusual.

Many experienced fashionistas today have already appreciated the advantages of gel polishes, the main of which is a longer shelf life of the result of nail art: up to several weeks! To perform a space gel manicure, you will need an ultraviolet lamp. Gel coating, in addition to special equipment, requires special work skills, so it is not easy to do it at home.

• Space style design will look more original if you draw the planets with white varnish applied to the sponge.
• If you replace the colorless fixer with a varnish with silver glitter, you get the mysterious Milky Way.
• Often clients complain that traces of varnishes of dark shades remain even after removing it from the nails. Professionals know that it is impossible to forget about applying the base.
• When choosing colors and shades, it is important to know that space drawings look more effective if they are used in cold tones. Pink, purple and blue are optimal.
• There are some tricks in using the sponge: the masters replace it with a piece of an ordinary sponge, the traces of which are not so dense - this way the design is more accurate.
• Space manicure is very versatile - you can experiment with background colors, draw or paste planets, a starry sky, an astronaut or a spaceport, swap stars. There won't be another design like this.Space manicure looks best on nails of moderate length: different bright colors, sparkles and patterns, coupled with extravagant length, will be too much. Images do not have to be identical: after all, galaxies do not repeat!
• The highlight of a space-manicure is its uniqueness - you will not 100% encounter the owner of exactly the same design, and even the coatings created by your hands will be different every time.

So, we can conclude: doing a manicure in the style of "space" at home is an exciting process for bold creative natures.. It fits any look and does not limit a woman in her choice of clothes. It looks wonderful with jeans in the summer, and with a fluffy sweater in the winter. Space on the nails will be the "icing on the cake" of your fashionable look!
