Two-color design technology
Any girl can make an original and unusual anti-french, even at home, since the technology for its implementation is extremely simple. First, you need to decide what color scheme your manicure will be in, because a lot depends on this. Be patient and persistent, prepare two selected shades of varnish, base, top, and you can start doing the reverse French. The whole process consists of fairly simple steps.
- First of all, apply a base clear polish, which will serve as the basis for your design and protect the nail plate from the negative influence of the decorative coating.
- Now paint the entire surface of the nail with a lighter varnish and let it dry thoroughly.
- Next, you can begin the most interesting part of the process. Apply the dark polish very carefully, moving a few millimeters away from the cuticle and side ridges at the base of the nail. This must be done carefully, trying to repeat the outline of the nail plate. For greater convenience, instead of a decorative coating, you can use a gel, which has the property of not hardening for a long time, which allows you to easily correct a not entirely successful manicure.
- Secure the resulting design with a top coat and enjoy the result.
An important condition for high-quality and beautiful nail art: before applying the next layer of varnish, make sure that the previous one is thoroughly dry . This way your anti-french coat will not smear and will delight you with its impeccable features.
