How to use
If you like this interesting idea and want to make such a manicure, you do not have to go to the salon or to the masters. It can be fully implemented and independently. Gel polish with sugar texture can be bought at a cosmetic store or ordered online. The choice is quite large, so you will definitely like something.
In order for the varnish to fit well on the nails and as a result each nail looks like a small colored sugar, the bottle must be gently shaken before applying the product. If this is not done, then the result will turn out to be far from what you wanted to see in the end. This applies to both the coating and the color itself.
There are some peculiarities in the issue of application.
It is important to use the brush correctly and not pick up too much product on it. Paint your nails thinly. If necessary, after it is completely dry, repeat the procedure. But in no case do not try to apply more varnish on the nail plate at a time - this is how the very effect of sugar grains on the nails will disappear.
If you do everything right, the varnish will dry almost instantly. In this case, there will be no bald spots and transparent stripes. If you need a manicure to last longer, then you can also go over the nails with a thin layer of fixative. It will also add a shimmery effect to the manicure.
The other side of the issue is the removal of this magical product from the nail plate. Since it differs in texture from simple varnishes, it must be removed in a special way. As practice shows, if you start to wash it with a cotton pad dipped in acetone, then small “grains of sand” will damage the nail plate. In addition, it will take you a very long time to completely clean your nails.
Solving the problem of cleansing nails is quite simple.
Take it off like a classic gel polish, even if you painted your nails with a simple polish. Soak cotton pads in nail polish remover and apply them to the nails, covering them with foil on top. In this form, an impromptu compress should be held on the nails for several minutes.
After that, the foil must be unfolded, and the softened varnish residues removed with a cotton pad. It comes off easily without damaging the structure of the nail. At the same time, neither color nor sparkles will remain on the skin. After removing the gel polish, it is advisable to moisten the hands with cream or oil so that the skin around the nails is not dry.
