Design manicure style "space"

"Cosmic" manicure. What associations arise when you hear it? “Awesome,” “bombing,” “bombing,” and many other “fashionable” buzzwords — space is also in this row. But what if this is the truth about a manicure in the style of "space"?

This type of design appeared not so long ago, but I got it, I apologize for the involuntary pun, truly cosmic popularity. And this is absolutely no coincidence, since it has a lot of advantages.

• Each version of this manicure is unique and inimitable.
• It is perfectly “mounted” with any dark substrate: burgundy, emerald or coniferous green, ultramarine, black, inky.
• It is good as a solo - on all ten fingers, and as an accent - on a pair of nails or even a stripe.
• Companions to the "galaxy" can be a monochromatic coating (of the same color as the substrate, or a contrasting one), a "cat's eye", and rhinestones and bouillons. It all depends on your imagination and professionalism of the nail technician performing your manicure.

Among the shortcomings of this coverage, we should highlight the fact that it does not suit those girls who are forced by virtue of their work to comply with the dress code. “Cosmic” design looks very bright in any of its performances, so in those organizations where the color of nail polish is strictly regulated, it will not work. as well as the "galaxy" is unlikely to suit girls who prefer a strict classical style of dress. Still, such a manicure implies courage, originality and creativity of its owner.

To create this unique type of design on the nails, you need to figure out what is the trick of its application and how to master it. Photos of the "galactic" manicure on the Internet are great, and each is unique in its own way. After all, you can vary the application as you please: choosing one or several colors as a substrate, acting with a sponge or sprinkling the nail plates with glitter (or using both methods), applying the design to all the nails or highlighting them with one or two fingers. Depending on all of the above, your unique design will turn out.

Options "galactic" manicure countless: on black backing, in ink blue or green; one-color or mixed from two to three to five shades; shiny, iridescent or matte; shrouded in haze or glossy; dark or white; with stars and without - you choose. Varnishes with a shimmer, glitter, glitter and foil will help in creating a "cosmic" manicure. The use of chameleon varnishes, which change color when moving with hands, depending on the angle of incidence of light, will give greater depth to the manicure, and the top coating with glitter will make it more voluminous.

With the help of the sponge, you can create both the ombre effect (or as it is called, the gradient) and the star galaxy.To do this, they are used as separate pieces of sponge, each painted with its own tint of varnish and applied alternately on the nail, and whole sponge, onto which, in fact, the entire galaxy is applied and transferred onto the nail. The main requirement for sponzhu: it must be dense, not loose and immaculately clean.

With the help of glitter - small and large sparkles - shine is given to the nails. Glitter (as well as its smaller “colleague” Shimmer) can be either contained in a lacquer (or top coating) or it can be packaged separately in jars. Accordingly, it can be applied both with varnish and on top of it. The intensity of the application depends solely on your desire: whether in your “space” a path of stars or the entire galaxy will be covered with star dust, you decide.

If for some reason you do not want or can not paint with gel polishes, but really want to see a “cosmic” design on your nails, the way out also exists for you. The easiest way to create galactic nails is to use sliders, which are now sold in a great variety in all professional cosmetics stores. They can be applied both on a usual varnish, and on gel varnish. Technology one: the slider needs to be wetted, then carefully separated from the paper backing and transferred to the nail plate. Further, if the nails are covered with gel varnish, the top is applied on the slider, and the hands are dried in the lamp. If the manicure is made using ordinary lacquer, the slider is covered with top-drying and waiting for natural drying.

Despite the seeming complexity and "tricked" space manicure, it is quite easy to do at home, and the materials will need a little. First of all, it is a gel varnish, which you will use as a substrate. Or a few varnishes. In addition, you will need a palette where lacquers, a sponge or a piece of a new unused kitchen sponge, a glitter or topcoat with sparkles, individual stars in the form of stars and tweezers for their application will be mixed. It is also good to have a supply of liquid latex to protect the skin around the nail plate from staining with gel varnish. And, of course, can not do without the lamp for polymerization - UV or LED.

Step by step execution of galactic design takes place in several stages.

• Make a manicure in the usual way: hardware or trim. Apply a layer of base, level it and dry in a UV or LED lamp.
• Cover the nails with a layer of gel polish, selected as a substrate for the "space". Dry again in the lamp.
• Using a pair of tweezers to tear off so many small pieces of sponge, how many varnishes are chosen for the “galaxy”. Dip each piece in the appropriate varnish and remove excess.
• Take turns to apply varnishes on the nail, using pieces of sponge. Movement should be patting, light. You do not need to press the nail in the nail or smear it. Do not strive to make the "correct" pattern, "cosmic" design is the case when any of your movement will be correct.
• After all the shades are applied using the sponge, it is time to “revive” your galaxy with a hazy haze. To do this, take a straight brush and, mixing all shades, draw a "whirl" on the nail. The brush should be clean, without a trace of previously used varnish.

• You can enhance the pattern with black or ink-blue lacquer or, conversely, highlight it with white. The main thing is to make the manicure as carefully as possible, there are no greasy drops and strokes, for this it is better to use thin and flat brushes.
• To simulate the stars, you can take rhinestones of the appropriate form, or you can use ordinary white lacquer and dots, putting down neat points.
• Use glitter if you want your galaxy to sparkle and sparkle.You can take individual sparkles and scatter them or use varnish with shiny particles.
• When all layers are applied, it's time to cover them with top, dry and wear with pride.

• “Blue” galaxy on the ink substrate is important for winter;

• space cat's eye for those who are not ready for radical experiments, but want to wear space on their nails;

• "Ink" galaxy with stars and planets, as well as on a magnetic substrate;

• multi-colored "space", created with the help of sponge;

• galaxy of white, blue, dark blue.
