Necessary tools and materials
To perform the perfect manicure with gel polish you will need:
- lamp for drying;
- top and base for coating nails with gel polish;
- primer and degreaser;
- gel polish of the main and white colors (they should be of the same texture, it is better if they are the same brand name products);
- a palette or foil for mixing varnishes;
- thin brush.
How to make a manicure with rhombuses step by step
The first step is to prepare the nails for the design. They need to be cut, manicured, removed the cuticle and sanded edges with a nail file. With the help of a soft buff, the nail plates need to be roughened. Next, a degreasing agent should be applied to the nails, cover them with a base, sealing the tips, and send to the lamp.
To make a manicure with rhombuses, the nails are covered with white gel polish and sent to dry in a lamp. Next, you need a palette or foil. On it you need to drip white and color gel polish at a short distance from each other. White varnish should be mixed with a little bit of the main color. The resulting shade draws a kind of fence (a crown of triangles), stepping back a little from the beginning of the nail, paint over it and send it to the lamp.
Next, add a little more basic color to the resulting shade so that the new shade becomes a little darker. The next row of triangles is drawn with this color, placing them in a checkerboard pattern with respect to the first row. The nail is again sent to the lamp for drying.
Do the same with each successive row. The final row of triangles at the edge of the nail is painted with the main color, without stirring it with white. You need to try to place the entire color scheme on the nail so that the transition looks more natural.
In conclusion, the nails are sent to dry in a lamp, after which they are covered with a top and again sent for drying. You can experiment by choosing a matte top.
When making manicures with rhombuses, it is not necessary to depict triangles of the same size as in the photo. You can achieve a different visual effect with the help of diamonds of different sizes. It is permissible to carry out such gradient transitions not only with white varnish, the main thing is that the selected colors are combined with each other.
