Due to this "aquarium" effect, the surface of the nails is perfectly smooth.For voluminous manicure, you can use both gel and acrylic to choose from, the difference in their application lies only in the technological process.
Types of technological process:
- Acrylic molding. Manicure is performed with a modeling brush and acrylic, before starting work, you should carefully prepare your nails. Basically, modeling is intended for extended nails, but natural ones can also work if their length is sufficient. Also, for a manicure, it is considered mandatory to have a base or a layer of varnish. An acrylic ball is captured with a brush and placed on the surface of the working area, then it is shaped into the selected pattern; you cannot immediately sculpt the decor. Modeling will become available when the ball dries properly and loses its original luster, decor elements are modeled with a brush.
- Gel molding. This type of manicure appeared much later than acrylic modeling, due to the liquid consistency of the gel, but today experts have created a special 3D gel for modeling nails, which is easy to use and allows you to make unique decors. Also, the absence of smell is considered a positive aspect of such a material, so the procedure for applying the composition has become much more pleasant, all modeling elements are applied directly to the nail in finished form and immediately fixed. Each part of the pattern has a certain color and is subject to polymerization in an ultraviolet lamp. At the same time, the composition must be kept in the lamp for two to three minutes, otherwise mixing shades is possible. To fix the manicure, a transparent varnish is used.

For beginners, it is recommended to use simpler ornaments in their work, such as twigs, flowers, leaves, abstraction or geometric patterns. You can not mix different shades of gel and acrylic with each other, otherwise a dirty color may turn out.Modeling is done slowly, without touching the brush with your fingers. The finished decor must be fixed with a transparent varnish.
