• high resistance. Matte lacquer lasts much longer than glossy lacquer. In this case, it is not at all necessary to use a special fixing coating. Durability increases with the type of surface. On a matte varnish, roughness and scratches are less visible, which can be seen on a glossy finish the very next day;
• extravagance. A wide palette offered by well-known manufacturers of manicure products allows you to choose an original shade. For example, blueberry, orange, graphite, purple. By the way, dark colors look much more interesting in a matte version, without being vulgar;

Such a coating can be done in a beauty salon or at home, if you have all the necessary tools and knowledge.

When choosing the right shade, it is necessary to take into account not only your own preferences. It is important that clothes and shoes are in harmony with the color that you have chosen to create a manicure. Any stylist will tell you that preference should be given to a shade that is as close as possible to the tone of the outfit. It is also necessary to take into account the color type of the fair sex.

Girls with golden brown skin tone colors such as orange, copper, black, purple are ideal. Stylists recommend them to conduct various experiments with the image. The combination of different shades in a manicure can exceed any expectations.

The beige shade is perfect for everything and always remains at the height of fashion.

Matte manicures look perfect both on a first date and in an office environment where you need to follow a certain dress code. It is not difficult to carry out the procedure for bringing nails into an attractive appearance at home. The easiest option is to apply a varnish with a velvet effect, purchased in a store.

For those who like to experiment, the option of turning a glossy composition into a matte one is suitable. The procedure is simple and does not require special training.In addition to creativity and your own curiosity, to create an unusual satin effect, you will need:

• boiling water, which can be heated in a kettle or in a saucepan;
• a suitable shade of glossy varnish. If you plan to decorate your nails, then you can take several colors;
• cotton pads or hygienic sticks;
• removal liquid.

Step-by-step execution will look like this:

1. To evenly apply the coating, it is necessary to carefully prepare the nail plate. You can remove the old tool with the help of a special liquid. It is better to choose an option that does not contain acetone, since that substance spoils the structure of the nail plate, making it dry and brittle;
2. Degrease the nail. You can use the appropriate tool for this. It is unacceptable to use a moisturizing cream during the application of varnish. It will affect the durability and uniformity of the coating;
3. Give the free edge the desired shape and length. To do this, you can use a nail file designed for natural nails;
4. Remove burrs, push back with an orange stick, or cut off cuticles.

The preparatory phase is now complete. To create an attractive manicure on extended or natural nails, you will need about 30-40 minutes of free time.

The next steps will be:

1. Pour water into any container and boil, it is necessary to wait for intensive vaporization;
2. Paint your nails with the usual varnish of the desired shade. It is necessary to achieve a dense layer, without bald spots. It is enough to apply 2-3 layers without transitions;
3. There is no need to wait for the paint to dry completely, so after 10-15 seconds you can start the procedure. Substitute painted nails for steam. In order not to burn your fingers, you should keep your hand no closer than 15 centimeters from the water;
4. To obtain a satin effect, it is enough to hold your hands over the steam for 1-1.5 minutes;
5. You don't need to wet your nails. Dry naturally. As the water dries, the desired velvety effect will be created;
6. Wait for it to dry completely and start decorating.

This method is best used to create a manicure in dark colors. Shades of blue, gray, lilac, lilac, ashy, blue, emerald are ideal. Pastel colors and nail polishes with glitter or mother-of-pearl will look messy. To achieve the desired result, do not apply the coating to all nails at once. Do your manicure gradually. Cover two or three nails at a time and hold them over the steam. Only after the procedure is completed, proceed to the next. It is not recommended to use a greasy cream after this.

• toothpick;
• varnish of the selected tone;
• starch (potato or corn).

Take parchment paper or foil. Apply a few drops of the selected varnish to the material. Then take a pack of starch and a toothpick. Pour a small amount of powder onto paper or foil. Gently mix the varnish with starch. This must be done quickly so that the composition does not have time to freeze. In this case, the consistency of the varnish should become thicker. Do not overdo it. The varnish should be normally distributed over the surface of the nail.

Take a clean brush and apply the resulting varnish in the usual way. Start from the cuticle. You need to paint the nail in three layers. First we paint over the central part, and then the sides. It is necessary to leave small gaps around the edges. After drying, the varnish will become matte. During drying, do not shake your hands or blow on your fingers. It is necessary to dry, spreading your fingers, on a flat, flat surface. In this case, you need to do without a fixer.
