In any collection of cosmetics there is a white nail polish. It is necessary to perform French manicure, it is used as a background for neon coatings or is used to breed any color and get a pastel color. Spectacular white prints can be stamped.
But the white color itself looks great on both long and short nails. It gives the impression of freshness and purity. He makes any skin brighter, and his clothes are more elegant. But this is not the limit.
What is interesting about white color
White nail polish is so versatile that it is used in so many designs. Here are just a few of the operations that are performed with his presence:
- White backing. All neon varnishes demand it. On a white background, they make a mirror rub in to get an extraordinary radiance. Gradient printing also does not do without it. All transparent varnishes look brighter on a white background.
- Classic jacket and moon manicure are indispensable for a strict dress code.
- Artwork stamped: lace, snowflakes, various patterns.
- Drawing art paintings, the so-called development.
This unique color does not exist in nature, the white ray consists of all the colors of the rainbow. And any shade goes well with it.
Design options
When there are doubts about the choice of manicure, the situation will be saved by the design of nails with white varnish. This option is suitable for any outfit: from a tracksuit to a ball gown. Of course, the more solemn the event, the more interesting the design will be. If monophonic application of soft varnish (the so-called delicate translucent tone of white color) is suitable for a visit to the office or pool, then for festive events you can afford any complex combinations.
The photo shows one of these works. Although the nails are designed in white, the change in texture and accents on the fingers create a wealth of design in this simple color. The versatility of white varnish is also in the fact that any metal is suitable for it: from gold and platinum to cheap jewelry. He is able to emphasize the nobility of the first and pull the second to a high level of taste. So, we see the sparkle of cheap silver-colored broths - charming and not at all defiant. This is how white works.
Short nails
Not all colors are suitable for short nails. Common pink, nude, pastel colors visually reduce the length of the fingers. What to do? In such cases, dense coatings are selected that can create a contrast with skin color. For example, saturated white varnish. On short nails, it is applied under the cuticle and emphasize its graceful line. It is not necessary to say that manicure should be impeccable - this is already understandable.
The shape of the nails plays an important role. If they expand at least a little to the free edge, forming a trapezoid, a beautiful manicure will not work. Therefore, you should adjust the nail plate so as to smooth out this impression. Usually it is enough to file the corners a little so that the side rollers become parallel. Interestingly, with long nails this will not work. So, short length can be considered an advantage in correcting the shape.
Drawings on a white background.
A white substrate can serve as a backdrop for various patterns, both contrast and pastel. The art painting in the double brushstroke technique looks great on it.
Very often, nail designs with white polish are made compound: all nails can have a different look. It is important to observe the principle "all nails are different, but in the same style." One or two fingers accentuate attention. They can be decorated with rhinestones, stucco molding, interesting texture.
Stamping is very popular, which looks perfect on a white background. The most complex patterns do not clutter up the design, but create a luxurious canvas.
In order not to lose purity, it is better to combine one tone with white as a companion. For example, on a brush type white and lilac. Patterns made in this way, inflorescences with a gentle overflow will decorate your pens.
White drawings
The opposite method of applying drawings is also interesting: on a colored background, drawings are printed on nails with white varnish. This method is convenient in that a contrast color can be used as a background without fear of its dominance.
The well-known style of "black and white" involves a combination of black and white. But how much more tender it will look if the dark background is barely visible, creating continuous lace of boiling white color.
What are white varnishes
Any varnishes are evaluated according to two parameters: intensity (hue saturation) and hue. The intensity distinguish pale white, which is slightly translucent on the nails and does not have a strong whiteness and bright white, very dense. The hue may be bluish, then the varnish has the name "Ultra White", "Alpine Snow" or "Extra French". There is a pinkish shade of white. In this case, it may be called "Sakura."
Nail manicure with white polish is done on long and short nails. The rule of choosing a suitable shade is recommended for a small nail plate to prefer dense tones, and for a long one - soft. For owners of long lengths, there are interesting designs with several shades of white and different textures.
How to apply varnish
To make a beautiful coating with white nail polish, you need to follow the following rules:
- Shake the vial well to mix the pigment.
- Squeeze the brush on the neck of the bottle from itself. A drop remains on the brush.
- Put a drop on the area next to the cuticle and open the brush, moving it to the cuticle, but not finding it. Extend the brush to the free edge.
- Spend a brush to the left of the previous smear.
- Spend a brush to the right of the central smear.
- Seal the butt.
- Repeat the same on the second layer.
The technique of applying dense and soft varnish is different. The first requires setting the brush at an angle of 45 degrees to the nail. The second is applied with a brush, almost lying on the nail, moving "through the air." Then there will be no ugly stripes from the brush.
Reviews on White Nail Polish
Many customers agree that American varnishes are the best. Among the white stands out “Alpine Snow” from OPI. The gel polish of this company has the same name. In general, in each line for the French there is a dense varnish for a smile. These are such famous brands as Orly, KINETICS, Vinylux CND.
In the world of gel coatings, gel paints exist. They have a more saturated pigment than gel polishes. In order to fulfill a smile with French manicure or for a substrate, they are often used. To paint small details with a brush is also better for them.
When choosing a suitable white gel polish for short nails, one should not forget about the density. The higher it is, the harder it is to apply. But for drawings, it is indispensable. Thick varnish dries quickly, and it can’t be used for drawing. But it is suitable for stamping. Another thing is gel polish. It will not dry without a manicure lamp, you can correct or change something during the coating process.
