Beautiful and well-groomed nails are an indispensable component of a good appearance and taste of the girl. The art of manicure is developing very quickly, and simply do not count the trends in the design of nails. There are more classic options, for example, French manicure. But pearl manicure can be both everyday and solemn. We will consider its features, application techniques and designs.

Pearl manicure is quite unique, as it is suitable for any occasion. That is, the work of "pearls" will not be defiant, and on holidays - not faded. It differs from inconspicuous design of nails for office by light gloss. In addition, pearl nails - a real hit of the season. The trend gained such popularity due to various rubbing and application techniques.

Today pearl manicure is not just a special glitter lacquer. The beauty industry of nails has gone much further, therefore, to make beautiful nails with pearl shimmer, special preparations are needed that give a wide choice of color palette and texture. Like any type of manicure, pearl has its own design features. It is worth remembering a few simple rules to get a beautiful result.

• The basic version of the nails with pearl shimmer is the light colors of varnish. Therefore, it should be remembered that white, solid and any other bright shade always opens up all the flaws on the nails. And their brilliance will only emphasize. If you decide to still try this manicure, carefully prepare the nail plate.

• Choosing nacre or pearls, you need to carefully consider the treatment of the nail. The surface should be as flat as possible, without burrs and regrown cuticle. With such a manicure, all such flaws will be strongly visible.

• This coating is ideally diluted with painting or decorative pebbles. They can be as neutral or, conversely, bright to accent nails. The decoration of not every nail, but only a few fingers, remains in fashion. This field is for your experiments and specialist skills.

• In addition, not all fingers can be pearlescent. This shade goes well with velvet and matte varnishes. Just like the previous recommendation, you should not be afraid to choose other colors and add “highlights” to your manicure.

The first thing to remember, pearl manicure is not only white. Of course, the most popular option is the bright colors, but there are also many other successful shades. Color combinations can be divided into dark, bright and almost white colors. Let's start with the classic version. Light colors are white, pink, nude and yellow. And also all their shades. In the design, you can mix these colors, making a few nails pink and the rest white. Or use the popular ombre technique today. A separate item can be distinguished translucent nails with light sparkles.

In bright colors imagination has no limits. You can choose absolutely any color and achieve a pearl effect with the help of nail polish. Do not be afraid of bright solutions, such colors with a glistening coating look very beautiful and not at all vulgar. The palette is huge - from poisonous and acidic colors to scarlet in fashion.By the way, it is bright lacquers that sometimes acquire a new life thanks to pearl colors.

The last category is dark manicure. Shades from black to dark green and dark blue. Pearly dark manicure deserves a special love for girls. This is because often just a dark or black lacquer is very defiant and does not suit every day, but rather under a certain image. Pearl plating slightly smoothes this effect and allows you to wear such a design both in the afternoon in the office, and in the evening in the restaurant. If you are still afraid to use too dark shades, you can choose a gray color that is just between light and dark shades. Again, with a slight sheen, even such basic colors will play in new ways. As you can see, the palette of pearl manicure is limitless.

Now let's talk directly about the rub in, so popular with women and modern nail designers. In fact, it is powder, which is applied to the nail cover and is rubbed into it with quick movements. Rubs, too, come in different colors. The easiest option is colorless, which gives only a light shine. Next come all sorts of colors from white to black. They are created for the mix of colors of lacquer and pearl coating directly, which makes it easy to combine two colors on one nail. Metal rubbings are popular this season. Agree, gold and silver nails will look very original and interesting.

In the previous sections, some techniques of creating a pearl manicure were mentioned. Nevertheless, there are 3 main ways to create a similar effect.

• Pearl varnish or coating with microparticles of a chimmer. It should be noted that the pearl coating is precisely small particles, not large sparkles.
• Rub in - the most popular technique to create a pearl effect. It is a fine powder, which is the final stage and is rubbed after the nail polish dries.
• Another popular tool - overhead pebbles a la pearls. They come in different sizes and shapes, so it is possible to create designs and decorate your nails. The only important point is a more complex technique and is not suitable for everyone because of the additional volume on the nail plate.

After reviewing the main ways of obtaining the effect of pearl manicure, you should go to the step-by-step instructions for creating such a coating for nails. To do everything right, you need to remember a few simple rules.

• Up to the very stage of applying lacquer, the standard preparation of nails is going on: turning and creating the shape of the nail plate. Remove the cuticle and apply nourishing oils.
• Defat the nail and apply the base.
• Now, if you use ready-made pearl lacquer, go to it. Remember, you need to use varnish in several layers, so that the texture was dense, and the color was well transmitted.
• The work with pearl rubbing is a little different. First, the main varnish is selected and also gently applied to the finger in several layers. While the varnish is not completely dry, proceed to the pearl powder. She is typed with a special brush or sponge spread on the nail and gradually begin to rub into the nail plate. You yourself can control the process of contrasting the pearl and the main color. At the end of the procedure it is necessary to remove excess powder residues.
• Be sure to finish the product you need to fix the finishing tool, which, in addition to the immediate function, will add a little more shine to the nails.

This instruction is suitable for both conventional manicure and gel polish using a UV lamp. To these rules are added a few more when using decorative pearls. For high-quality manicure with stones, check whether your specialist had experience in this area and go to a proven master. If you try it yourself, then start with simple applications.
