Proper execution
The simplest option for nail design with pearlescent varnish is to select the appropriate coating in the shade you like. But you can choose a more complex path and master the design using rubbing.
It is important to know that the rub can only be used in manicures created using gel polishes.
- First you need to degrease your nails, apply a base on them and dry them under a UV lamp.
- Next, you should choose the shade of gel polish that will become the base for rubbing. Rubbing will give the coating a delicate density. Gel polish should be applied in two layers, drying each of them under a lamp.
- The rub can be applied in two ways: with a soft eyeshadow applicator with a sponge at the end or by scattering it over the second, undried layer of gel polish.
- At the final stage, apply topcoat and dry it under the lamp.
- For a flawless result, clean the skin around your nails from any remaining rub.

The following ideas are especially relevant for short nails:
- Design in a single color.
- An interesting option is a different color palette on each nail. Colors can be harmonious, smoothly transitioning from one shade to another. Or you can create a more daring image by choosing completely opposite colors (for example, delicate, bed colors and bright, dark ones).
- Calm, simple patterns, such as curls or strokes, look beautiful on gel polish. But they should not be voluminous or massive, since such a design will visually make short nail plates even smaller.
You shouldn't get carried away with rhinestones if your nails are short. A pair of shiny pebbles will look quite harmonious and unobtrusive.
Rhinestones
Mother-of-pearl manicure goes well with rhinestones of any color. After all, mother-of-pearl varnish is a fairly shiny coating that comes into perfect harmony with shiny rhinestones. If you don’t want to oversaturate your manicure, then use light rhinestones on a light coating.
And for brightness or to focus attention on any nail, you can select bright rhinestones that are completely different from the original color of the coating.
