As soon as women do not decorate themselves! Everything is used: clothes, hairstyle, shoes, accessories and well-groomed nails, of course. Aquarium gel nail design is a new way of manicure, which creates a transparent base and voluminous drawings on it. This method is suitable exclusively for artificial nails, preferably gel, on natural it is almost impossible to achieve a similar effect. The aquarium design got its name because of the special technique of applying the image, when it seems that the elements of the picture are behind glass in the water column. So they gain volume, and the manicure looks just fabulous. With the help of various techniques, the master can achieve the 3D effect, a holographic illusion, imitation of artistic modeling or just a beautiful drawing.
Gel aquarium design - execution technique:
- at the initial stage, it is necessary to prepare the nails for extension (degrease and dry);
- the next step is to apply the first layer of modeling material to the plate;
- after preparation, you can proceed directly to the formation of the image, while it is worth using different materials: rhinestones, sparkles, pieces of mica, colored sand and powder, precious and semiprecious stones. But it must be remembered that the larger the fragments used, the more thick the nail will turn out. The final touch is coating the nail plate with a layer of gel and smoothing out small irregularities, so that it becomes more smooth and shiny.
This method of designing the nail plate can be performed using a single-layer or multi-layer technique. In the latter case, the second and third stage should be repeated until a full image is created.
Aquarium design has quite a few advantages. Firstly, it is practical and with proper care will last more than three months, and during this time, manicures will not lose their original appearance. It has great resistance to abrasion and wear. And do not be afraid that you might get tired of the picture - you can apply any varnish on top of it, and then wash it off with an acetone-free product (this will not hurt the image protected by a layer of modeling gel). Another advantage is the ability to correct the picture. The master in the cabin can supplement the image with details or gradually reduce it, leaving as a result an elegant color trim like a french.
Aquarium design has only one drawback: when using volumetric decorative elements or multilayer technology, the thickness of the nail plate increases. On the other hand, if the nail turns out to be thicker, this will give it additional strength.
Aquarium nail design will be difficult to do on their own, so all lovers of fashionable and stylish manicure should contact the professionals. Only a specialist will help you choose the right image, which will be combined with the shape of the nail (round or rectangular) and with your overall style.
