Short manicure with glitter
Craftsmen advise using longitudinal elements and glossy coatings. Don't go overboard with the decor.
Techniques and methods
Camouflage manicure with glitter is performed in three stages:
- manicure (removal of pterygium, removal of cuticle and keratinized skin);
- preparation of the nail plate;
- laying out material.
The first stage is performed in hardware technology using a set of cutters of various abrasives and diameters. For combined equipment, the use of cutting tools is permissible. Preparing the nail plate is no less important than a clean manicure. Natural nails, unlike artificial materials, are more flexible and mobile. For maximum adhesion of camouflage, it is necessary to remove the gloss from the nail, making the surface rougher.
Then remove excess moisture and apply compounds that increase the degree of adhesion. The method of laying out the material depends on its type and consistency. The main types of camouflage compounds and their characteristics are described in the table below.
Types of camouflage materials
The table below shows the types of camouflage materials:
| Characteristic | Type of material | ||
| Bases | Gels | Polygels | |
| Consistency |
|
|
|
| Purpose |
|
|
|
| Application technique | Apply with a brush from the bottle and distribute the material over the surface of the natural nail. | The first step is to create a thin backing on the mold. After drying, the main layer of material is spread with a brush, forming the architecture. | When modeling on lower forms, the application scheme is similar to the gel one. The use of upper forms involves laying out the material on a plastic tip and its subsequent attachment to the nail plate. |
Finish coating
The final stage of any of the listed techniques is the application of a finishing coating. This allows you to protect the surface from abrasion and give a glossy highlight. The technique of performing manicure with camouflage bases is called leveling. The base in this case is the natural nail; it is this that determines the length of the future manicure. A big plus is the ease of use of the bases.
It is enough to open the bottle and distribute the material in the required quantity with a brush located in it.
The main disadvantage is the consistency of the material, which does not allow correcting significant defects such as:
- lack of free edge;
- absence of corners and side walls;
- incorrect architecture (downward growing nails, curled, lack of transverse arch).
To correct such cases, a harder material (gel or polygel) and modeling technique will be required. The materials differ in consistency and laying method, but are used for one purpose - to build a correct and symmetrical nail architecture. The gel system is more liquid and viscous, and has the ability to self-level. Thanks to this, the material actually distributes itself over the surface.
The brush only sets the direction of movement, barely touching the camouflage gel. For modeling, disposable paper forms with an adhesive base are used. Polygel is a mixture of gel and acrylic powder, therefore, it has a thicker consistency. It allows you to use the material for modeling on the lower disposable forms and on the upper plastic ones.
The peculiarity of using the latter is that the material is placed in a plastic tip, after which it is attached to a natural nail. The shape gives the correct architecture and smoothness of the surface. When applying the material, use a brush dipped in a special liquid. It prevents the pile from sticking to the polygel during its distribution into the form.
Long manicure with glitter
The large surface allows you to expand with decorative details. Elongated nails look great in dark colors and matte finishes, as well as with large rhinestones.
Shiny nude manicure
Modern young ladies also cannot do without a manicure in nude tones. You can give preference to any shade from this laconic and discreet palette, and use both varnish and matte finish. These natural colors look great with glitter designs, metallic stripes, shimmering geometric shapes and colored glitter foils. You can decorate all your nails with glitter or highlight accent fingers.

One of the most popular shapes this season, suitable for all techniques.
Square manicure with glitter
To soften the angular shape, French and moonlight techniques are used, diagonally and horizontally oriented parts are used.
