Practical recommendations on how to make a beautiful white manicure
Before decorating your nails, you need to prepare the nail plates and the skin around them. The master removes the rough skin that appears on the sides, as well as the cuticle. For this, a router, scissors or a pusher are used. The buff helps to gently polish the nail plates and remove excess gloss.
Next, the nails are cleaned of dust, treated with a degreaser, coated with a primer and then with a base coat. After each stage, hands are placed under an ultraviolet lamp to illuminate the material. Gel polish is applied to the finished base.
To achieve uniformity of the layer, experienced masters use a little trick: apply a thin layer of gel polish on the sides of the nail and next to the cuticle so that it does not flow beyond the boundaries of the nail. Within 30 seconds, the color coating spreads evenly over the entire nail plate without forming a streak. To create a beautiful white manicure on long nails, do not place them directly under the lamp. A straight line at the base of the nail is drawn with a thin manicure brush.

If the master applies several colors, for example, designs a beautiful red-black-white manicure, then drying and coloring are repeated several times. It is not recommended to ignore the lateral surfaces of the nail. You need to apply a very thin layer of varnish on them to preserve the manicure for a long time and prevent peeling. Reducing the drying time of the layer can affect the quality of the result. At the same time, you should not allow the gel polish to dry out; this is harmful, including for the skin.
When all the layers have been applied and the design is ready, the nails are coated with a protective compound called “top”. The finishing layer is distributed evenly and in small quantities to completely protect the design, decor and ends of the nail. The finished manicure is dried in a UV lamp, and half a minute after drying, the sticky layer is removed from the nails. Acetone-free nail polish remover is great for this.
If the durability of a white manicure is important to you, you need to follow the technology and do not forget about the base and top coat. Nail art masters emphasize the importance of choosing the right background, texture and companion varnish. For example, for fashionable space design, the “cat's eye” effect is used, which looks advantageous with white. The translucent background allows you to perform a manicure using the attractive “veil” technique. Using glossy and matte textures in one design gives your look a vibrant character.
Decorating a white manicure with foil elements
All types of foil are harmoniously combined with neutral white varnish:
- smooth, in the form of stripes;
- stencil, transfer;
- compressed, liquid, self-adhesive;
- matte, with a holographic effect.
As a rule, it is used on accent nails. It also often serves as a base coat. It is applied in various ways: on the tips of the nails or holes; distributed over the surface of the plate randomly, in a certain order; use large and miniature pieces. The colorful patterns and marble design, emphasized by sparkling foil elements, are very impressive.
Gold or silver foil looks most chic, creating a magical, festive mood. This manicure is often done for weddings and special events.
For long nails
Shiny powder allows you to achieve a mirror, pearl, rainbow effect. On a white background, this texture creates a festive style. The powder is rubbed into the top layer of varnish without a sticky coating, and sealed with a top coat.

Sequins and rhinestones of different shapes and sizes make the background elegant in a matter of seconds. You can match them tone to tone, or use contrasting and complementary shades of decor. Sequins need to be sealed on top with a top coat to increase wear time.
A fashionable and easy-to-perform manicure that allows you to combine a white background with colored accents. Choose metallic for a casual look or a bright color for a formal occasion. To draw the marble effect, you can use a brush, or you can use improvised means, water or a crumpled bag to draw an abstraction. It is important to seal the coating with a glossy topcoat to add extra shine to the texture. .
