Glowing nail polish

Nowadays, lovers of fashionable manicure can afford to realize any fantasy. Quite often in nightclubs and at parties, you can see the luminous nails of visitors in the dark.. It looks very unusual and arouses the interest of others.

When it comes to choosing glowing nail polish, the modern market offers several options:

• Lacquer based on neon. Its light can only be seen under ultraviolet light. In complete darkness, it is hardly noticeable, so it is not particularly popular among lovers of nightclubs. But during the day it looks very bright and impressive. If desired, you can find only the most catchy colors: light green, orange, yellow. Other shades are difficult to find, as they are not very popular. Fluorescent nail polish has a similar effect.
• Phosphoric. It first absorbs light and then gives it back. In complete darkness, it shines with light green or blue light. It is a tube with a clear or hazy liquid with the same brush as for regular nail polishes. It is very difficult to find it on the market, as manufacturers have stopped creating it due to the increased concentration of harmful substances in the composition.
• The most popular shimmering varnish is luminescent gel. If it will be in the light for a few minutes, then it will shine in complete darkness for a sufficiently long time. Compared to other types, luminescent varnish "burns" many times brighter and longer.

With the help of a special technology, you can independently make “burning” out of a simple varnish, and also make the finished manicure visible in the dark. Nail polishes that are made at home can shine no worse than expensive brand name products.

To create your own shining gel, you need to purchase a phosphor or phosphor powder, thanks to which the substance glows in the dark. You will also need a regular gel (colored or transparent) and a palette in order to mix everything.

In order to get a luminous substance, you need to mix the existing varnish with a phosphor in a ratio of 1: 4. Any smooth surface will work for this.

To make the manicure shine longer, you need to apply the material in several layers. In addition, if you want the light from the nails to please with its effect all night, you can increase the amount of phosphor. For multiple use, you can mix a large amount of ingredients and store the finished product in a bottle. Glowing powder can be combined with materials such as shellac, gel polish, acrylic and nail extension gel.

If you are going to a night party, then you need to take into account absolutely all the nuances of your image. It is worth considering carefully the choice of outfit, especially if your nails are covered with luminous varnish.

• A combination of a snow-white top or dress in combination with a luminous gel will look very impressive.On a white background, it will appear even brighter.
• A simply mystical and incredible image is created when some parts in the wardrobe contain luminous elements, coupled with nail polish. For example, a blouse with a shining pattern in itself attracts attention in complete darkness, as well as sparkling nails that complement the image - this style is to the liking of any club party girl.
• Recently, it has become more and more popular to paint nails through one finger - this effect in the dark makes a double impression: unusual and confusing, or painting all nails in different colors for even more festive mood.
• Very often, fashionistas combine glowing nail gel and an accessory to match it, for example, a bracelet, brooch or earrings. It is enough to cover the desired object with a substance containing a light element, and the composition is ready. You just need to remember to let him "recharge" in the light before going to a dark place.

To make the glowing polish look even more spectacular, you should pay attention to the most popular designs and drawings with its use.

• Lunar design looks very interesting if a luminous substance is applied to the length of the nail, and the nail hole is left untouched. Then in the dark the nails will take on the shape of an arc.
• A favorite design - stripes - looks very impressive when applied with multi-colored shining gels. It can be a straight grid or a grid with different intervals, or just randomly intersecting lines. All this will look even brighter in dark lighting.
• It is extremely difficult to paint with a shining gel in daylight, as it is almost transparent. But if you try to use this gel in artistic design, then you can afford any fantasy that no one will see in daylight, but in complete darkness it will shine.
• The stamping design can also be used with glowing nail gel. To do this, you need to first apply a regular varnish on a mini-stamp with the selected pattern, and then a luminous one, let your nails dry, “feed” with daylight, and you can safely go to a nightclub.

Luminous gels do not have smooth transitions from one color to another, so you should carefully consider the selection of colors in manicure. Even if the clothes are combined with one of the shades in the manicure, it is far from a fact that the nails will look beautiful in the dark. Therefore, it is worth remembering the most successful color solutions:
