Metal manicure. Photos, designs, how to make from foil, powder, gel polish, rubbing, stickers

Features of metal manicure

The features of metal manicure include the following:

• it is suitable for almost any shape and length of nails;
• performed using different techniques, including regular varnish, metal foil or mirror powder;
• There is practically no additional decoration, but sometimes rhinestones, microbeads or adhesive metal tapes can be used.

Metal manicure (photo below) is performed using several techniques:

• varnish with a metallic effect;
• using transfer foil;
• applied tips with a metallic effect;
• performed using mirror powder.

Can be done in the form:

• gradient manicure;
• plain;
• French manicure;
• with lunula discharge;
• combined.

Metal design depending on the shape of the nails

Depending on the shape of the nails, metal manicure is performed in several versions. Metallic manicure can be done on nails of any shape, but the technique and overall appearance will be slightly different.

There are 8 types of nail shapes in manicure:

• almond-shaped;
• "ballerina",
• oval;
• square;
• pointed;
• rounded;
• stylet;
• pipe

The almond shape of the nail is considered classic. For such nails, any metallic design is acceptable: from French to ombre (gradient).

The ballerina shape is a transitional stage between the almond and square shapes. The name was received due to its resemblance to ballet shoes - pointe shoes. Nails of this shape are decorated with metallic glitter. The oval shape is one of the most familiar and discreet.

The end of the nail is carefully sharpened, but not sharpened. Almost any metal manicure design can be used for this shape. They use foil, powder, and glitter. The square shape of the nail is different in that the end of the nail is not rounded. According to manicurists, a metallic French manicure is the best design for a square shape.

To create a pointed shape, the end of the nail is sharpened a little sharper than for an oval shape. Manicurists recommend using the most discreet metal design for pointed nails, for example, a gold-colored coating without decoration.

A rounded shape is given to short nails. For this shape, manicurists recommend the simplest design.

The stiletto shape is performed on long nails. The end of the nail becomes very sharp. Due to the complex shape, I advise manicurists to abandon rich decor and perform manicures with a single-color varnish. A metal jacket is also recommended.

You can give your nails a pipe shape only with the help of artificial materials. In appearance, nails are similar to a pipe, because the C-bend of the nail is 50% or even more. Pipe is also considered a complex shape, so the simplest solutions are recommended for design.

False acrylic nails

You can create a metallic manicure using acrylic false nails at home, but it requires some experience. The materials for such extensions are acrylic powder and liquid acrylic. These components are mixed, as a result of which a reaction occurs and a composition is obtained that hardens in air.

Before applying nail extensions, they need to be prepared:

1. It is recommended to cut your nails short and/or carefully file them with a ceramic or paper file.
2. Use a cuticle remover or remove it mechanically.
3. Degrease your nails with nail polish remover containing acetone or alcohol.
4. Make the composition according to the instructions and apply it to the nails.
5. After the acrylic has dried, it is coated with varnish with a metallic effect/glued with foil/manicure done in another way.

Acrylic dries quickly and does not require drying under an ultraviolet lamp.

Manicure at home: step-by-step lesson

First of all, remove any remaining coating from the nail plate. It is better to choose a nail polish remover without acetone with the addition of natural oils. This composition will cause less damage to the nail plate.

When doing a manicure at home, you need to use scissors with rounded blades or special nippers. Do not cut your nails with straight scissors, this will lead to the appearance of microcracks, and subsequently to their fragility.

Use only individual manicure tools; at home, they must also be disinfected. The thinner and weaker the nail plate, the finer the abrasive coating of the file should be. When shaping the nail plate, use the nail file in one direction: from the edge to the center. This will prevent delamination.

• Apply cuticle oil or a special cuticle remover

Distribute it evenly over the cuticle and edges of the nail fold, leave for 1-2 minutes.

• Immerse your hands in a bath of warm water for 10-15 minutes, then pat your fingers dry with a towel

• Gently push back the cuticle with a stick, clearing the nail plate of any skin particles

It is recommended to do manicure at home using the unedged method. Using nippers causes increased cuticle growth, which makes hand care more difficult.

• Polish the plate with a special sanding file

• Apply moisturizer and lightly massage your hands
• Apply varnish if desired

If you apply a coating after moisturizing cream when doing a manicure at home, you must first degrease the nail plate with a special degreaser, which can be bought at any cosmetics store.

When performing a manicure at home, it is important to choose the right nail shape. It will allow you to advantageously emphasize the shape and length of your fingers or adjust it if necessary.

Playing with shapes will allow you to create unexpected and daring images.

• Degrease the nail plate
• Apply base coat and let it dry

Colored varnish should be applied to a transparent base. This will not only increase the durability of the varnish, but also protect the nails from pigmentation.

• Place a drop of polish in the center just above the cuticle
• Gently move the drop with a brush towards the cuticle, leaving a small gap

• Sweep the brush up to the end of the nail

Try not to change the pressure on the brush while you move it; the movements should be smooth.

• Place the brush down again and move it along the edge of the cuticle

• Move the brush upward until the entire side is evenly coated with varnish.
• Brush along the cuticle on the other side

• Color the remaining half completely
• If necessary, apply a second coat of varnish when the first one has dried.

After the colored varnish has dried, it is recommended to apply a topcoat. This will give the coating a delightful glossy shine and significantly extend the durability of the manicure.

Metallic nails with polish

Metallic manicure using regular polish is very easy to do and can be done at home.

Manicure polish with a metallic effect comes in different colors, not only gold or silver, but also bronze, purple, blue and any other shades. In addition to a simple glossy effect, the coating can be pearlescent, with metallic sparkles (often this effect is called “star shine” or “sand effect”).

Before applying varnish, you should do a hygienic manicure (shape, reduce length). To make the polish last longer, it is recommended to degrease the nail plates polish remover with acetone and apply a base coat. Upon completion of the manicure, it should be secured with a protective coating.

An interesting idea for a metallic manicure with varnish is to apply varnish of a different color or with a different metallic effect to 1-2 nails.

detailed instructions

Thermal film

It will be easy to create a design with the effect of metallic nails using this sticker. You can also purchase it in cosmetics departments, both professional and ordinary.

Application method:

Get rid of old manicure and give your nails the desired shape. It is important to cut the film into a shape similar to the nail plate. There are two ways to apply this sticker.

1. Place the cut out shapes to heat under a table lamp for five minutes. Just during this time you can do a manicure and work out the future design. After the sticker has warmed up, place it on the nail and smooth it with a napkin. Excess film can be trimmed with scissors.
2. Cut out the sticker and apply it to the nail. Use a hairdryer to heat it up and immediately begin leveling. The remains should also be trimmed.

If you made this design on extended nails with acrylic or gel, it doesn’t matter. Finally, be sure to coat with a finishing product. For example, top gel. You can also combine metallic nails with shellac coating. It will be better if the color of the shellac is chosen closer to the shade of the sticker.

Foil for casting

This foil is very thin and fragile; working with it will require some skill. It can also be used to cover gel, acrylic, shellac. To make it easier and faster to apply, you will need a special glue for foil. You can buy it in the same place as everything else.

Application method:

Apply a thin layer of glue to a clean nail plate and wait until it dries completely. If you use this type of design on gel, shellac or acrylic, then before applying glue you should degrease the surface. Most often, the glue is white in color and when it dries it becomes transparent. After covering the glue, apply the foil to the nail and press it well. Tear off the remains with a sharp movement. The foil should be applied with the matte side to the nail. It is better to cover metallic nails with a protective layer of shellac or gel. This way you will ensure a longer life for your manicure.

Mirror effect varnish

You can also buy it in professional cosmetics departments, but it would be better online. It will be cheaper this way.

Application method:

The principle of applying metal effect varnish is the same as regular varnish. It is better to apply the coating in two layers for a deeper color. It is worth waiting for each of them to dry completely. You can make absolutely any design on top, including rhinestones, stickers, and drawings. Anything you want. The main thing is not to forget to apply a protective layer on top.

As you can see, making nails similar to precious metals such as gold and silver is not at all difficult at home. It harmonizes perfectly with a variety of designs and colors. To distract from the image of a tasteless and vulgar lady, you will need to remove all jewelry from your hands. A mirror manicure looks expensive even without decorations!

Metallic manicure using foil

Metal manicure (photo below) is performed using a special material - metal foil. In manicure, foil is also used as a small decorative element. It is attached in small pieces, creating a pattern. Or, using metal foil, they create a “lunar” manicure, highlighting the lunula with foil.

You can buy metal foil for manicure in nail shops and cosmetics stores. There is glue on the back of the foil.

The nail plate must be degreased. Place foil on top of the nail, shiny side up, sticky side on the nail. The foil is pressed tightly and smoothed so that it sticks. The excess is carefully trimmed off. A colorless varnish and/or fixing composition is applied on top.

To create a certain ornament, you first need to cut it out of foil and then carefully glue it onto your nails.

Manicure with stripes

Decorating your nails with stripes is perhaps the easiest way, no matter which method you choose. Firstly, metal threads can be glued onto a “cream” base without a steely sheen until the varnish has dried. Secondly, you can cut out strips of colored foil and also attach them to your nails. In addition, stripes are easy to draw or imprint on your nails with dental floss. Choose the appropriate options - there are many of them.

Metallic nails using powder or rubbing

Metallic manicure using rubbing is performed using gel polish or regular manicure polish. Varnish (gel polish) of any color is applied to the nail. Dry completely. Then sprinkle the nail with mirror powder and rub it in thoroughly. Residues are removed with a dry brush or cotton pad. A colorless varnish and/or fixing composition is applied on top.

The interesting thing is that the powder looks brighter on dark varnish. Therefore, to create a good metallic shine, experienced manicurists recommend applying the rub onto dark varnish (gel polish). It is important to rub the powder in very carefully and tightly to get a metallic effect, and not just a shiny manicure.

The classic manicure with powder is the use of gold and silver colors.

Manicurists know that mirror powder is divided into several types:

1. holographic powder;
2. Maybug powder;
3. mirror rubbing;
4. Prism powder.

A distinctive feature of holographic powder is that the particles of this product are quite large in size and each can be distinguished with the naked eye. After application to the nails, the effect of “sparkling mother-of-pearl” is created. Powder “Chafer bug” is a rub-in with the effect of a beetle’s wing. Shades can be varied, but the base is purple.

Mirror powder, when rubbed into the nail, gives an almost perfectly reflective mirror effect. The most popular are copper, gold and silver shades.

The distinctive feature of “prism” powder is that it gives not just a metallic effect, but a neon one. Blue-blue tints look very colorful on both dark and light varnish. The effect of “prism” powder is similar to the effect of holographic powder. But the “prism” rub has a finer texture and its particles are almost impossible to see.

Metallic nails with glitter

Manicures with a metallic effect and a slight shine are popular. This is achieved through the use of glitter varnish or decorative glitter. A wide range of glitter varnishes are produced. Sequins can be large or very small.

A more realistic metallic effect is achieved by using varnish with fine glitter.

You can achieve a metallic effect with glitter varnish if you apply the varnish in several layers. The more layers, the greater the concentration of glitter. It's easy to do a manicure using decorative glitter. Gently sprinkle glitter onto the still wet varnish (gel polish). And they fix it on top with a colorless varnish or topcoat.

Metallic Nail Art Ideas:

Nowadays, manicure is a whole art; nails are not just varnished, but applied to them:

• various patterns;
• reliefs;
• glitter;
• rhinestones.

Create interesting smooth gradients or sharp color transitions. Metal manicure looks unusual and attracts attention.

Classic steel metal manicure

Steel manicure in the classic sense is coating all nails with varnish of the same color, usually with a mirror effect. But popular and no less beautiful are manicure options with satin tints, mother-of-pearl or the “crumpled foil” effect. Satin and pearlescent varnishes with a metallic effect are presented in a huge assortment in stores.

It is less common to find varnish with a “crumpled foil” effect. But on nails this coating looks very unusual.

Rubbing

Using pigment on nails is a popular technique in 2018-2019. It is considered new, but has already won the hearts of fashionistas. In this case, the pigment is rubbed into the nail plate, which is why this method of creating a metallic manicure gets its name. The rubbing is presented in different versions, it is possible to choose even the most unusual - “mirror”, “chafer bug”. As a substrate, choose different colors, the classic ones are great: black, white. This design looks unusual and bright, so for those who like a neutral finish, emphasizing not all nails at once is suitable. Fashionistas will also appreciate the “melange” rub, which creates the effect of “sugar” nails.

Mirror color manicure

Mirror metallic manicure (photo examples are presented below) is performed not only in classic shades (gold, silver and bronze), but also in other bright colors. In addition, they often combine several shades on one nail or on different nails. Such a decision looks very unusual. According to the spectrum, contrasting shades go well together.

Combined metal manicure

Metal manicure (example photo below) is performed in different styles. Masters combine several techniques and create a combined manicure. A manicure looks interesting, in which only one nail is coated with a metallic effect varnish, and the rest of the nails are covered with a neutral-colored varnish.

A great solution would be to combine a metallic varnish with a mirror effect with a varnish with a foil or sand effect. This combination looks stylish. Metallic manicure often combines metallic varnish with glossy or matte. Metallic varnish is used to create patterns or decorative lines on top of another varnish.

Stylists consider this manicure acceptable for every day.

Manicure colors by season

And here's the most interesting thing - a fashionable manicure that uses different bright colors. Each season of the year has its own range of colors. Nature itself tells us which shades will look harmonious in summer, autumn or spring. The variety of coatings and rich palettes of manufacturers allow you to create incredible combinations of shades in one design. Now it has become fashionable to use translucent gel polishes to achieve depth and simulate a 3D effect.

If you don’t have many shades of gel polishes in your collection, then you can use some tricks.

Tip 1: To create a translucent shade, dilute the gel polish on the palette with a few drops of base and mix well.

This creates the famous evening veil design. It was in demand last year, but many people still use it now. The design is good for autumn manicure or some special occasions.

Tip 2: To make a darker or lighter tone, also on the palette during the design process, mix white or black with the colored varnish.

This way you can bring to life the popular geometric gradient. In the process of applying the design, with each step, a drop or a couple of drops of white varnish is mixed into the base color.

Using these tricks, you can create more complex designs based on several colors.

What manicure color to choose for spring?

Spring is a time of awakening of nature, feelings and colors. In spring you always want some delicate colors, so light colors predominate in manicure. Light green, blue, pale pink, lilac, etc. are actively used. These tones are usually combined with each other or with white and beige shades. The motives of the drawings are usually natural. Masters paint flowers, leaves and twigs on nails. Below is a collection of photos with fashionable shades for spring.

What color of gel polish to choose for a winter manicure?

Well, of course, the white and blue color scheme is relevant for winter manicure. This is a classic that will live for centuries.

Nail design for the winter is distinguished by some kind of romance and coziness. Closer to the New Year, Christmas tree balls made of rhinestones, spruce branches and the “sweater” design that wanders from year to year appear on the nails.

The rule for combining colors in manicure

Nowadays, a combined design is in fashion, in which several tones of gel polishes are combined at once. To make your manicure look harmonious, you need to choose them correctly. When decorating your nails, use all colors with either cool or warm undertones. This is the main secret of successfully combining shades. The same rule is relevant when selecting shellac tones, when performing a manicure with a transition of colors. Gel polish manufacturers often indicate in the description which subtone a particular product belongs to. Even white has both cold and warm undertones.

• An example of a manicure with different colors with warm undertones

French metallic manicure

A French manicure done using metallic polish or another material looks fresh, new and stylish. A manicure without additional design and decoration, according to stylists, can be used for every day. A manicure in bright colors is perfect for celebrations and celebrations.

The idea of ​​the French metallic manicure is that the white part of the nail is covered with varnish (gel polish, foil) with a metallic effect, instead of the classic white (beige, light pink) color. Sometimes, French metal manicure is additionally decorated with small rhinestones.

False marigolds

This option is the best way to design your nails. And there are a number of reasons for this. First of all, it's attractiveness. Such a smooth mirror cannot be achieved on nails by any other method that can be used at home. In addition, false nails allow you to get the desired manicure in the shortest possible period of time.

One of the negative aspects of false nails is their low naturalness. The tendency to peel off, as well as low stability, is one of the features of false nails. It is worth understanding that this particular manicure maximally protects natural nails from the negative effects of external factors, which is difficult to achieve, for example, when using nail polish with a metallic effect.

Nails must be covered with a special fixative after gluing. The fact is that such a mirror is very susceptible to scratches. Even the slightest scratches will greatly spoil your manicure.

Gradient metallic manicure

Metallic manicure, photos of which are presented below, is often performed using a gradient technique. Typically, 2 or 3 colors are used to create a gradient manicure. There are many options for applying colors, one of the simplest is to mix varnishes in a separate container and apply the color to the nail with a sponge.

There is a secret to such a manicure: the smaller the pores of the sponge with which the varnish is applied, the softer the transition between colors will be. A protective coating or clear varnish is always applied over the gradient.

Classic gradient - a smooth change in color in the horizontal plane. But a new fashionable trend has become the creation of a vertical gradient. This transition looks unusual, and if the manicure is done in bright colors, it can be an excellent option for a celebration. An interesting version of the gradient is a transition made with a brush, when you get a sharp transition in the form of diamonds.

This technique requires special skills and abilities; it is very difficult to perform such a manicure on your own.

Decoration with rhinestones and microbeads

In manicure, rhinestones and microbeads are used for a long time. Using these decorative elements, you can create a bright holiday and everyday manicure. Beads are small (up to 4 mm) material made of glass and used for decorating nails.

Beads are made of glass or metal. Glass microbeads are used to create a beautiful, bright manicure. It is applied completely to the entire nail or an ornament is laid out from microbeads. Steel microbeads can be used to create a metallic manicure.

Metal manicure: photo of an option with microbeads

Such beads look unusual, but you need to glue them especially carefully so that the manicure lasts as long as possible. To glue beads, use any manicure glue. It is recommended to apply a protective coating or colorless varnish over the microbeads. Microbeads can be used in manicures with regular polish or gel polish.

Attention! For better attachment of microbeads to a nail without varnish, it is recommended to degrease it.

Rhinestones are a long-known and widely used material for manicure. There are regular shiny transparent rhinestones, but colored rhinestones are also produced in different sizes. For short nails, small or medium-sized rhinestones are the best option. Large rhinestones are suitable for decorating long nails, but you can also combine large ones with small ones, creating interesting patterns.

To create a metallic manicure, metal rhinestones are used, which are called rivets. There is a wide range of rhinestones made of white and yellow metal, and rhinestones are made in various shapes. They can be round, square, oval. Colors are also not limited.

Rhinestones are colored:

• in blue;
• green;
• violet;
• red;
• brown;
• orange;
• yellow;
• pink;
• lilac.

Stylists recommend decorating manicures with rhinestones to create bright, festive looks. For everyday wear, it is better to make a neat, modest, discreet pattern or completely cover one fingernail with rhinestones or microbeads. Among the interesting original ideas for manicure, one can note the decoration of gradient metallic manicure with rhinestones.

A neat ornament will become a beautiful and unobtrusive accent.

Small beads create the effect of shining metal. This manicure looks very festive. As a decoration, it is better to use microbeads that contrast the color of the varnish or gel polish. This combination, according to stylists, gives a sophisticated and noble look to the manicure.

Metallic manicure is a great nail design idea for holidays and for every day. On the Internet you can find many photos of manicure options using a variety of techniques. Therefore, you can find a nail art idea to suit your taste.

How to do a metallic manicure?

A trend that has held its position for many years is also relevant this season. In another way it is called Hollywood or mirror. This design makes your nails irresistible and smooth. This manicure is suitable for both everyday wear and a party. Every season, designers offer new methods for creating metallic manicure.

Metal manicure is done in several ways, using:

• foil or film (glued to nails);
• shellac or varnish;
• chrome powder (applied to shellac) new method of nail design 2017 “metallic”;

Manicure with chrome powder

In order to get a spectacular metallic look, we start by applying a base coat, then cover it with a double layer of shellac. To maintain the brightness of the powder, use shellac in a single color, preferably black. You can use tones of natural colors. If you want a colored metallic effect, choose a bright gel polish. After drying under the lamp, we do not remove the second sticky layer, but beat the powder into it over the entire plate. Brush off excess powder with a brush. Then we apply another layer of shellac on the chrome powder, keep it under UV, and after drying, remove the sticky layer. Metallic is ready!

Design with foil

Perhaps the easiest method of all, it is done in several steps:

we prepare the nails, process them well and polish them;

cover with a colorless base coat;

Apply colored varnish that matches the color of the mirror film.

Apply special glue for foil to all nails;

after a few minutes, apply, very carefully, the film to the nail, then press firmly.

We level the foil over the entire surface, then sharply tear off the pieces of film that extend beyond the edges. All is ready.

In this option, the finish is not applied so as not to damage the metallic shine that was sought.

Now you can do an artistic manicure yourself by purchasing an inexpensive nail art kit. Your nails will always be beautiful, fashionable, and for this you won’t have to spend money on going to a beauty salon...

Buy a set from the official dealer - Salon Express - a set for artistic manicure!

Manicure with varnish

The fastest method. To get a sparkling metallic look, you just need to purchase the right polish and apply it to your nails. Very beautiful, but not for long. The good news is that the color of the polish in the bottle matches the color after applying it to the nails. Be sure to pay attention to the brand, I recommend Mirror, which will add a metallic shine and shine.

Often, for such a manicure, the choice falls on the tone of gold or silver, for example, the color of pale antique gold looks advantageous. Also, the color of pure silver is magnificent.

To ensure a smooth and streak-free surface, it is recommended to use a wide brush.

Manicure with film

This type of manicure is not durable, and the method itself is easy and quick, reminiscent of the option with foil.

We do not glue the film. It will stick to the sticky layer on its own. We do the following: classical preparation; alignment of the nail plate; degreasing. Then we select the film. We heat it under a table lamp until it stretches. Then we apply it to the base of the nail, carefully leveling it up to the tip of the finger. We smooth out any defects with a napkin. Cut off the leftovers. Finally, coat it with colorless gel polish and dry it under a UV lamp.

Color solutions

As written above, the most common colors are gold and silver. And this is not surprising, classics are always in trend. But if you want something original, you can choose from a large assortment, which is not a problem nowadays. The blue color is very good, the combination with the metallic shine is great.

One rule that must be taken into account is to choose cool tones of the varnish coating. The shine of cold metal with a warm tint looks very unattractive. Conversely, metallic will add drama to cool shades.

Use Hollywood design only with materials intended for it. Then you can be sure that the manicure will be of high quality and long lasting.
