Gel polishes, stickers, rubs - this is an incomplete list of means with which you can create a manicure with a holographic effect. Each of them has its own unique properties. How to properly apply each of the listed products is described below.

Nail polish with holographic effect

Performing a holographic manicure using varnish is one of the simplest procedures. The sequence of actions completely coincides with classic shellac: nail preparation, base layer, decor, top coat. The only difference is the use of varnish with a holographic effect instead of a decorative coating.

Holographic Nail Powder

Holographic powder (powder) is a crushed dry pigment. By varying in particle size, it allows you to create different visual effects. Depending on the particle size, you can get a 3D effect of varying depth.

Powders are sold in small containers. The choice of application tool should be based on the desired final appearance.

Stickers allow you to add bright accents to your holographic manicure. The ability to cut an element of any shape opens up wide scope for creating a unique image. Stickers for creating the effect of broken glass are especially popular.

Stickers differ according to the method of attachment (the presence of an adhesive base or transfers). In the process of applying manicure using stickers, you will need thin tweezers, cotton swabs and a container of water for transfer stickers.

Shiny manicure with foil

Foil nail designs will never go out of style. If you are tired of a monochromatic manicure, dilute it with other tones. And make a glittery design with foil. For example, combine liquid glitter under a milky base with gold leaf fragments. In addition, you can apply textures - matte and glossy surfaces. Large or small pieces of shiny gold leaf will dilute the “flat” nail design.

Manicure ideas: volumetric 3D design

Every month, the creators of the Middle Kingdom produce new types of voluminous jewelry and various nail accessories in large quantities so that we can realize the most daring nail design ideas. Metal, plastic, polyurethane small brooches and false nail forms can perfectly complement and refresh any type of manicure, even a classic French or moon manicure.

Advantages and disadvantages

Holographic varnish is an undoubted asset of the nail service. It has both positive and negative qualities, which will be discussed below.

Key advantages of holographic varnish:

Visually aligns the nail plate, making it more beautiful from an aesthetic point of view;
Creates a unique sparkling manicure that attracts attention;
Has a wide palette of colors and shades;
Does not require additional decorative elements and decorations, can be applied to nails independently;
Dries quickly;
It has a fairly dense texture that does not flow or roll off during operation;
Looks good on nails both in life and in photos, and can be used during photo shoots.

As for the disadvantages, these include the following properties:

The varnish can crack due to sudden temperature changes;
In rare cases, it loses its glossy effect, becoming matte, from steam or hot water;
Changes color - sometimes this property can be considered a disadvantage. For example, if you wanted to get a specific shade, and due to a change in lighting, your holographic nails began to look different.

Based on the above characteristics, we can conclude that holographic gel polish has no significant disadvantages.

Manicure with rhinestones

Add rhinestones and bouillons to your manicure sparingly; excessive design can be distracting. It is enough to add decor to a plain coating with rubbing, in a small pattern, to create brilliant beauty. And the abundance of colors, shapes and sizes of crystals will please everyone.

What to do if kamifubuki fall off?

When receiving feedback from novice design experts, experienced craftsmen note that most beginners have a good understanding of how to use kamifubuki, but then deal with the problem of early peeling. The reason for this may be the irrational size of the sequins or inaccurate adherence to the classical step-by-step technique.

ProstoNail has collected three of the most effective life hacks that allow you to look at glitter for a long time:

Try to sprinkle glitter not on the top coat, but on the sticky layer of the paint itself. Then they can be moved by tilting the decor in one direction or another. Then complete the ritual with a finishing gel of thick consistency;
Due to the extreme thinness of the same elements used in the design, try to place large sparkles only in the corners, avoiding bending the plate. Delamination will likely follow these lines;
Give preference to self-leveling buds that intelligently fill the raised areas of marigolds.

We hope these tips will help you deal with mistakes and avoid them in the future.

Confetti or kamifubuki are a brilliant and stunning way to transform not only your manicure, but your day by adding a little festive flair. So why not use it?

Delicate shiny manicure

Light pastel colors visually enlarge the nails, and their combinations give the manicure an exquisite contrast. And in such a design it is not necessary to adhere to the principles of minimalism, and you can use shining decor and gel polishes. For example, in a delicate milky or beige manicure, the coating colors do not dominate and are harmoniously complemented by any shiny decor. If neutral shades seem unattractive, you can do a manicure in fashionable lilac, mint, blue, pink tones with shiny accents.

About the features of nail care

Nail care is an important procedure that you still need to learn how to do correctly. Any girl can do light strokes of simple varnish at home. When you want to decorate your nails with a professional manicure, you go to a beauty salon, where there are suitable devices and tools.

And it’s easy to master various techniques on your own. Several trends can be identified in the trends of the last season:

Shiny French on nails

On the eve of the New Year and Christmas, craftsmen recommend changing the classic design of the French jacket to a festive one. Pay special attention to the choice of color and decor. Brilliant reflective colors, sequin stretches, foil decoration and rhinestone decoration can create a very shiny effect. And black, white ideas for a French jacket with a shiny backing are closer to the minimalist style.

Shiny short nails

A beautiful solution for such length of nails is rubbing, translucent gel polishes with shiny glitter particles. Especially when it comes to holiday manicure. Shiny multi-colored geometric patterns on two fingers will also look good. The main thing is that the color matches the rest of the nails. And, for example, asymmetry in nail art - it will introduce visual dynamics into the design and distract attention from a very short length.

Advice from experienced manicurists

Difficulties that arise in the process of creating a manicure can be avoided by following the advice of experienced masters.

In the process of shaping the nail plate, you should stop using metal files. They disrupt the structure of the nail, creating a predisposition to delamination. In addition, all manipulations to correct the shape must be performed on dry nails.

When choosing holographic nail polish, preference should be given to products from one manufacturer. The produced lines of base, decorative and top coatings are aimed at maximally complementing each other.

If you have a limited purchasing budget, it is better to save on color coating, giving preference to a higher-quality base. It is this that helps give the nail strength and protects it from the influence of external factors. In addition, for nails prone to brittleness, there are bases rich in vitamins and minerals.

Interesting. When creating holographic nails, you should pay attention to the size of the dispersed particles. Larger pigments will create a bright and deep color, while smaller ones will give the effect of gasoline shimmer.

The use of holographic varnish will give visual evenness to the nail plate, making its appearance more aesthetic.

Features of the varnish include the ability to change shade when lighting changes. This must be taken into account when choosing a specific shade.

In conclusion, we can say that the modern nail art industry is replete with tools for creating an individual manicure. Fashion trends for 2018-2019 involve the use of down, feather and other inserts to create a bright festive look. The increasingly popular holographic effect can be achieved using several means. Rubs, powder, gel polish or stickers can achieve the desired shimmer effect.

The use of each tool has its own characteristics and preparation. Varying the thickness of the coatings and particle sizes allows you to obtain different visual depths of the shimmering effect. To create a sophisticated look, a plain or transparent base with fine particles is suitable. The resulting smooth effect of color transitions will not overshadow the brightness of the rest of the image. Following the advice of manicurists will help maintain the health and beauty of your nails.

Shiny manicure for long nails

For long almond-shaped or square nails, both bright and subtle glitter designs are ideal. If you want, diversify the design with a gradient, gold or silver patterns, and voluminous contrasting details that will always catch the eye.

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.
