You look brilliant! – Isn’t this the kind of compliment every woman dreams of receiving? A spectacular white manicure with rubbing will help you create an image worthy of admiration from others. The delicate shimmer of mother-of-pearl, the shine of gold, the mirror shine of silver - rubbing allows you to create interesting effects and adds shine to the image. We will tell you what this material is and how to use it, we will show you various ideas for a beautiful white manicure with rubbing.
What is a nail rub?
Nail rub is a special finely ground acrylic powder.
Its particles are so miniature and weightless that when applied they fit tightly to each other, creating the illusion of an absolutely smooth metallized surface. Usually this pigment for design is sold in a jar and its price is very symbolic, but consumption, on the contrary, is very economical. Chrome rubbing is similar in properties to foil, but significantly exceeds it in terms of durability and reflective capabilities. It has a number of advantages that not only professional nail technicians, but also beginners should know about:
- unlike varnish containing glitter, the coating with grout is easily removed from the nails without unnecessary friction;
- wide price range and the widest choice of palettes. There are even brands that make a vegan rub that is not tested on animals. A striking example of this is the company Severin or Melange;
- It’s easy to create shiny nails at home, because it doesn’t require any special skills or additional tools;
- volumetric design on nails? It’s elementary, just sprinkle a drop of glitter on the sticky layer of the design. The powder will evenly cover the decor and fix itself on it;
- regular shellac extends its original durability when grout is applied to it.
Long nails with rhinestones
Long nails are designed to surprise, conquer and attract attention. Many long nails are competition entries that must win out of a great many other entries. Painting them with rhinestones, neat and clear, plays a very important role in maintaining the character of the work.
Benefits of using rubbing
When the technique used to make pearl nail polish is mastered to perfection by the master, he will be able to delight his clients with brilliant work.
Limitless possibilities will be available to him - a fashionable design with a gold and silver tint, a light pearl sheen, a shimmering scattering of small shiny crumbs. Rubbing has other advantages. Among them:
- simplicity of technology,
- fast execution of any design,
- the ability to create beautiful smooth transitions,
- coating durability,
- impeccable work results,
- unlimited scope for the creative realization of a nail art artist.
Gold in everyday life and for the evening
A manicure for every day should not contain a lot of gold jewelry. It is enough to insert a pattern into the design that matches the ornament of everyday clothing.
For an evening manicure with gold, any client’s imagination will suit. It looks equally good in any design and technique.

Types of nail rubs
Inspired by bright pictures from Pinterest and Instagram, beauties begin feverishly searching for the treasured jars of powder. This must be done in specialized manicure stores, but in order not to get confused by the breadth of the assortment, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the types of powder in advance, choosing the most desirable one for yourself.
Mirror rub for nails
The luxurious mirror shine that attracts attention to your graceful hands is thanks to the chrome effect rubbing. Gold and silver powders are popular, highlighting the luxurious shine of precious rings on the thin fingers of their owner. There are also blue, red, purple, cyan and other colors of “star” dust, which look especially cool in futuristic, alien designs.
Pearl rub step by step
A special feature of pearl rubbing is a more natural appearance of nails than when using mirror pigment. This technique is used to create a classic look (it is especially popular among brides). Finely ground polyester dust produces a uniform glow under different light sources.
The powder is easy to use. To apply pearl rub on gel polish, no additional skills are required.
The technique is as follows:
- perform a trim manicure and treat your nails with a degreaser;
- Apply the base, remembering to seal the end of each nail. Dry in a lamp;
- Cover your nails with colored gel polish (2 – 3 layers). Dry each layer;
- remove the sticky layer using a degreaser;
- Apply pearl rub using the applicator and spread it over the surface;
- put your nails in the lamp, then apply the finish and dry again.
To apply the pigment, you can use not only a special applicator, but also a brush or sponge. Pearl powder is absolutely difficult to use.
Chameleon
A popular option is the “chameleon” rub, which can be used to create a “chameleon” effect on your nails. The shimmer of emerald blue powder looks equally beautiful in combination with dark and light tones. A bright accent can be a nail coated with emerald rub against the background of a manicure with white varnish, and even no additional decor is required.
Holographic nail rub
Holography on nails is a simple but effective way to make others look at your manicure with interest. Repeats the effect of gasoline spilled on asphalt, making the display in a puddle a colorful extravaganza of color. Essentially, this is a rubbing prism that bends the light. The principle of its application is simple, the main thing is to use a contrasting background. Black paint is best suited for this role.
In addition to the well-known options, there are a couple of new products that have won the hearts of the most discerning young ladies and force even the most avid conservatives to surrender to the power of experimentation. These are the heroes:
- a chameleon rub that changes its color depending on the angle of light;
- chafer rub, imitating the emerald green shell of an insect;
- diamond rubbing, relevant for those ladies who love rhinestones and diamonds, stones and cubic zirconia not only in accessories, but also on their nails.
Unicorn
The difference between this rubbing is that it does not give its color, but only the effect is visible. The “unicorn” has more shine than, for example, the “pearl” rub and it gives a more shade of pink. It looks most beautiful on a white background, as well as on any bed shades.
However, this pigment can be applied to a substrate of any color and it will look completely different in any version. Choose for yourself the effect that you want to see on your nails.
We cover the nails with light gel polish or some other color. Apply the top in a thin layer with slight additional leveling. The surface must be absolutely perfectly flat. It is recommended to use more liquid topcoats to avoid strong thickening.
After the top has dried, we immediately apply the rub. Rub in with a finger or sponge so that no bald spots remain. A very beautiful effect that many fashionistas love.
Foamy
One of the most creative, extraordinary and interesting designs using rubbed polymer powder. The technique, which creates an imitation of foamed nails, looks amazing in combination with snow-white gel polish. An unusual textured design is easy to make yourself at home. It is suitable for women of all ages and professional backgrounds.
The foam texture on the surface of the nail plates is imitated in the form of:
- reptile skin;
- crocodile skins;
- mermaid tail;
- miniature craters;
- lava field.
A white manicure with a foam texture allows you to create spectacular and trendy looks. You can create this design at home using a stamping kit or a set of themed sliders.
Diamonds on nails
Those who love the shine of stones will love the diamond rub. It can be applied to all nails using white gel polish as a base. This manicure will look bright and impressive.
"Broken glass"
A creative design in a snow-white interpretation looks like a cracked eggshell on the nail plates. Extraordinary nail art can be successfully combined with various decorative options. They use a special manicure foil, which generates spectacular silver, gold or bronze tints under a colorless topcoat. This design is distinguished by visual lightness and tenderness.
It attracts the eye with its unique creative twist, simulating the cracked surface of the nail plates. Shards of broken glass on a white background can be recreated using colored foil or fragments of polymer film of unequal sizes.
Prism
In principle, it looks beautiful on any background, but it shows itself most clearly on black. Very beautiful, stunning effect. All colors of the rainbow are present. It is loved very much and is often asked to be made by clients of different ages and preferences.
The gradient looks cool with this rub. And it is on a camouflage base that it is better to do:
- Cover the nails with a camouflage base of the desired color.
- Standard leveling of the surface with it.
- We put it in the lamp to dry.
- After the base has polymerized, apply a top coat without a sticky layer and dry.
- Using a finger or sponge, apply the rub as tightly as possible to the free edge.
- Then with a finger on which there is practically no pigment left, we rub the border, do it very smoothly so that our border is blurred and shaded as much as possible, gradually weakening the pressure.
This creates a beautiful gradient effect.
Rubbing "Aurora"
The rub is simply amazing. It is translucent and has beautiful pink, turquoise, blue and other highlights. You always admire her. It rubs in perfectly, straight to a shine. On a white base, the pigment creates a beautiful pearl effect.
Magnetic rubbing "cat's eye"
First, coat your nails with black gel polish and dry. Then we apply the top. We dip the brush into the pigment of the color you need and begin to apply it directly onto the undried top coat. We don't mix anything separately. No time or material is wasted. We mix our pigment into the top directly on the nail. Try to have an even coating. Next, take a magnet and bring it to our nail. A bright, clear glare gathers right before your eyes.
If something doesn’t work out, you can use a brush to smooth out the pigment again and repeat the highlight. Or another magnetic figure. Pigments are best applied to a dark substrate. On light ones they look a little dirty.
These pigments can also be used simply as a rub. Do not magnetize the strip. They also look great and add variety to your entire palette of gel polishes. You can adjust the brightness and clarity of the strip yourself. You can create different highlights on different substrates. Let's say a green highlight on a red background. This effect cannot be achieved simply with “cats”.
Cat eye manicure with rhinestones
What could look better than shimmer on nails? Only shimmers decorated with rhinestones.
Cat eye nail design is very self-sufficient. But despite this, if you decorate it with monograms and rhinestones, it will sparkle with completely new colors.
The color of the rhinestones is very beautiful to match with the iridescent color to deepen the design.
The “cat's eye” was replaced by chameleon varnish. It changes its shades depending on the light and the angle of the nails. Holographic rhinestones go great with this polish; their shades match the polish perfectly.
Rubbed manicure with design
Design for manicure is of particular importance. After the girl meets with the master, she tries to explain her preferences and expectations. Then the master tries to choose the most suitable design to express the individuality of the girl’s personality. This year, a girl will be able to choose any desired design to create an interesting manicure.
Rubbing is carried out on any base, it looks great with a wide variety of design solutions, so all that remains is to choose the most suitable style. For example, in combination with nude and glitter.
For long nails
Those with long nails have an easier time choosing a design. The length of the nail plate allows you to implement many designs and ideas. You can complement a white manicure with rubbing in rhinestones, drawings, and volumetric stucco. Here everything depends on your desires and preferences. Floral designs look beautiful with pearl and pink rubs.
Against the background of pearl shimmer, the imitation of the structure of natural stones looks impressive. Glitter, kamifubiki, foil glitter are harmonious against a shiny holographic “background”.
For short nails
When creating a manicure for short nails, you can also use rubbing. One of the most popular solutions is to cover several nails with glitter powder. By the way, white shades of coatings look more advantageous on short nails than dark ones. They visually make nails longer and wider. A popular solution among girls is a white manicure with pearlescent rub.
White and pink design
A delicate white and pink manicure with rubbing looks especially beautiful if done on almond-shaped nails. Smooth lines and slightly pointed nails of medium length are suitable for beauties of all ages, visually lengthen the fingers, and make the hands more feminine.
This design can be complemented with patterns of twigs, flowers, neat monograms, and polka dot print. Light blue rhinestones look gentle against the background of pink gel polish.
With an image
Designs with images of different content and thematic focus remain fashionable favorites regardless of current trends. In snow-white nail art, a drawing can play the role of a contrasting fragment, be the center of attraction or the main accent of the image. A metallic rub, decorated with a small image, looks most harmonious and elegant against such a feminine background.
Many girls prefer to create painted flames on their nails in red and coral colors. Watercolor painting and graphic subjects formed by thin lines are in fashion. Smooth curls, aristocratic monograms, and monochrome geometric shapes will add grace to women's fingers. To create complex images at home, use stencils or stamping techniques.
A white manicure with polish and original designs will add creative content to any look. A special stencil, sold in sets, is applied to the nail plate covered with base and gel polish. After applying the image, the empty areas are covered with decorative material.
Playful drawings in a cartoon style or in the spirit of Japanese anime do not lose their relevance. Such images are appropriate in youth and student images. Thematic silhouettes are successfully complemented by drawings in the form of inscriptions in Gothic font. Black letter prints look contrasting and expressive against a snow-white background.
Golden luxury
White gel polish in combination with gold rubbing takes on a festive look. This manicure is demanding on the appearance of its owner. He does not tolerate sportswear and shoes in his wardrobe; it would not be appropriate here. This manicure looks beautiful with formal outfits, suits and dresses made of high-quality fabric. It will emphasize good taste and the status of a woman.
You can enhance the shine of golden “pollen” with rhinestones, gold foil, and glitter. The powder can be applied thickly to the entire nail plate or used to create shine on the tips of the nails. A golden “veil” on the nails will beautifully complement the shine of the jewelry on the hands of its owner.
Fashionable design with matte top
The combination of pearl rub and matte top looks interesting. Moreover, the master can create the effect of a lack of gloss on one or several fingers to give the design a zest and special charm.
This option works great on dark varnishes. Therefore, girls who prefer beautiful plum, chocolate, emerald and graphite tones can safely adopt it.
You can complement the coating with discreet decor: stripes, matte dark stones, neat rhinestone crystals, which should be placed as an accent on one nail.
Orange
Orange nail polish looks very advantageous in the autumn season. Designed for bright people who love to attract attention. This option suits almost all outfits, since the main thing is that the orange color of the nail polish matches the autumn surroundings.
The orange pigment harmonizes interestingly with autumn-themed designs, such as leaves or raindrops.
Pearl tenderness
A light manicure with a pearl-colored rub looks incredibly gentle and sophisticated. Nude or pure white nails with soft pearl tints do not create any special obstacles when choosing a wardrobe. They will go well with feminine dresses, skirts, and are suitable for a relaxed dress code.
This design can be complemented by inlay with stones, creating, for example, an imitation of jewelry or laying them out in the shape of a geometric figure.
Rhinestones on nails
White manicure with rubbing and rhinestones looks very festive. Not everyone will choose it for everyday wear, but if there is an important event coming up, such as a wedding or prom, this design will emphasize the solemnity of the image in the best possible way.
In combination with mother-of-pearl and silver rub, stones with a white sheen look good. They can be supplemented with silver bouillons, hexagons, and threads. Pearl rub can be “supported” with rhinestones that look like halves of sea pearls. Two or three large pearls, framed with monograms or small white beads, will turn your manicure into a real work of art.
The most fashionable manicure is undoubtedly matte. The combination of mirrored shiny and matte nails looks beautiful if you combine them with frosted rhinestones with a steel shine. The stones are placed on nails with both a matte and shiny finish. The result will be more interesting if the stones are of unusual shape.
With French
A French jacket with a pearl twist makes the design popular among girls even more fashionable and modern. The classic design with a white edging of the nail and a pearl coating looks elegant and unusual. You can complement your nail art with one shiny pebble decorating the nail hole.
Important! A French manicure is best performed by a professional nail technician, since it is quite difficult to create a neat edging yourself.
Black manicure with rubbing
For girls who love to look bold and unusual, you can also choose a design with rubbing. It is applied to a completely different manicure base. A distinctive feature of this manicure can be called incredibly beautiful transfusions in the light. This design looks incredibly beautiful and is suitable for every day.
Rubbing allows the nail plate to look more festive, but the black color keeps the manicure calm and elegant. A rub-in manicure with peas looks especially impressive.
New Year's manicure with rhinestones
New Year is the sparkle of New Year's balls and garlands. On this magical holiday, I want to transfer this beauty into my hands so that the miracle is as close as possible. Only rhinestones can convey the sparkle of the holiday. You can decorate snowflakes , make them into New Year's balls, all kinds of stars and even New Year's chimes.
How to properly rub in gel polish
Before starting the procedure, you need to prepare your hands and nail plates. The skin of the fingers is steamed in a cosmetic bath. To enhance the effect, herbal infusions are added to hot water to soften the epidermis. The cuticle is removed with an orange stick. Hands must be treated with moisturizer.
Further procedure:
- Use a nail file to shape the plates into the desired configuration.
- Sand the surface with a buff. The procedure is performed with light movements without excessive pressure to avoid damage to the nail plate.
- Degrease your nails with a special cosmetic solution.
- Apply primer and let it dry for 1-2 minutes.
- Cover the plates with a base coat of white gel polish. It is applied slowly, thinly, evenly distributed over the entire surface of the nail.
- Treat the plates with a couple of layers of white gel polish, sealing the end to increase the durability of the manicure.
- Dry the product.
- Rub the acrylic material into the sticky layer with a cosmetic brush or soft sponge. The procedure is performed with light polishing movements without applying any effort.
Fix the result with a colorless topcoat, drying it under a cosmetic lamp or naturally. The rub looks good on nails of any length and shape - round, square, almond-shaped. The primer degreases and levels the plate, increasing the durability of artistic nail art. Gel polish is applied from the middle of the nail to the edges, carefully painting the side areas and the end.
Fixing the rub
If you rub in shellac step by step and follow all the instructions, your beautiful manicure will last for 3-4 weeks. To do this, you need to properly secure all layers:
- If the pigment is applied in a thin layer and the base varnish is visible through it, you can apply a second layer to the top coat.
- Some masters rub the powder in with their fingers without gloves. Sebum that remains on the surface reduces the durability of the coating.
- It is important to prevent the pigment on the tips of your nails from rubbing off. To do this, after drying the powder layer, it is covered not with a top, but with a base. The free edges of the nail are lightly treated with a buff. Top coat is applied on top.
Sometimes when you try to rub it onto gel polish, the pigment rolls off. Instead of an even coating, individual sparkles remain. The reason may be:
- incorrect drying time;
- cooled nail surface;
- poor quality top.
Apply the powder to nails that are warm after the lamp. Drying in an ultraviolet machine takes 2 minutes, in an LED machine - 30 seconds.
Ombre manicure with rhinestones
Ombre is a transition from color to color. For example, if you take the color blue, you can transition to white. And for greater elegance it can be made with rhinestones and broths.
An excellent combination of ombre with rhinestones is obtained using sparkles and sand for nail design.
It’s beautiful to choose rhinestones in ombre color. For example, if the main color chosen for the varnish coating is lilac, then for finishing with rhinestones, it is worth choosing this shade.
How to choose materials
If you want to do everything right, purchase only high-quality pigment. Cheap polyester dust can leave streaks and reduce the life of the coating. If you don't know which manufacturer produces first-class powder, check out the reviews.
The most popular mirror pigments are gold and silver. For a pearl effect, choose light shades. For those who want a rich design, it is better to use dark gel polish as a base. To create a more delicate look, opt for pastel shades.
If you use a brush, choose a very soft one so that the particles stick to it and do not fall off.
White manicure with rhinestones
The color white is usually associated with positive moments in our lives; it carries bright, pure emotions and symbolizes peace and goodness. Girls paint their nails white in moments of peace of mind and love. The most suitable color for a bride. For even greater depth, it is worth using rhinestones in muted, light tones, transparent or delicate holographic rhinestones.
Common Mistakes
Despite the fact that the rubbing technique is not particularly sophisticated, novice nail technicians make a number of annoying mistakes and clients leave their manicure studio upset. To protect yourself from such troubles in your professional activities, before starting work you need to make sure that the following actions are excluded in the process of following the technique:
- The layer of varnish on which the rub is applied is not sufficiently dried, as a result the coating takes on an uneven and faded appearance.
- A layer of base that is too thick leads to the fact that the rubbing does not apply well and the master cannot achieve a neat result of the work.
- The amount of powder used during rubbing is too small or too large.
- The master neglects the finishing layer, so the pearl coating quickly crumbles and loses its original shine.
- Excess product was not removed from the surface of the nail with a brush, so it seeps through the finish, making the manicure unsightly and unattractive.
As you can see, nail art specialists who not only use high-quality products for rubbing, but also consistently follow all the recommendations of her technique can achieve heights in their profession.
Metallic varnishes in gold manicure
Metallic varnishes add style and piquancy to golden manicure. The coating with such varnish looks like it is covered with a metal plate. The mica contained in the varnish gives the effect of a mirror surface.
Applying metallic varnish is no different from others. Fashionistas love it for the zest it adds to any look. According to users, it will always be in trend in any season.
General rules when using rubbing
Those who use technology for the first time have different questions. For example, is it possible to apply pigment directly to the base layer? It is possible, but the effect will not be as pronounced as when using gel polish. Whatever color you choose, it will look more advantageous with powder in any case.
To ensure that the coating pleases you for a long time, remember the following rules:
- do not skimp on the rub, otherwise you will get an inexpressive color;
- This technique can only be used on perfectly smooth nails, so it is important to polish them thoroughly with a buff;
- do not use a matte finish;
- the layer on which the powder will be applied must be well dried;
- there is no need to distribute the particles with your finger, since it contains sebum, which can affect the durability of the coating;
- the remaining glitter that remains on the cuticle should be brushed off with a brush.
Nail industry experts believe that rubbing is the future. It looks impressive on both dark and light gel polish, and besides, it can be combined with other decorative elements. And, most importantly, this technique is suitable even for beginners, as it is very easy to use.
Whatever pigment you choose, follow the application technology. Watch the video for step-by-step instructions.
