Rubbing for nails is carried out on a sticky layer of drying varnish or on a gel surface that has not been dried under ultraviolet light. This rule is integral, it is based on the whole procedure of rubbing into the nail plate.

It is necessary to fully comply with the application technique. As an example, consider a walkthrough with gel polish:

• The first step is to prepare the nails. The procedure should be very thorough compared with the usual treatment, because it is necessary to pay special attention to the skin around the nail plate, as well as the cuticle. You should not steam out your hands in water or use a trimmed manicure. Use special preparations to remove the cornified epithelium and remove excess particles by resorting to an orange stick;
• polishing also refers to the mandatory step. Since the shiny surface demonstrates all the "charms" of the nail plate, polishing with the help of the buff must be present during processing;
• Now you can begin to apply a base coat of gel polish. The first layer should be quite thin and "sealed." Sealing is done by painting the nail cut with a brush;
• surface coating with gel. The color scheme of the selected varnish is of great importance if you plan the usual rub. If you use a mirror layer, the choice of color does not matter. Apply the gel in a thin layer. You can even allow gaps or strip during application. You do not need to re-coat;
• can now be rubbed in. Skipping the drying process under UV light, glitter with glitter should be rubbed into the sticky layer of the gel coating. The action can be carried out by a brush, foam applicator or use your fingers. Rubbing glitter should be with maximum density and high quality until the moment when you get a thick layer of glitter. To “dirt” was less, carry out the procedure on a paper sheet or use oilcloth. If you are using Melange without spangles, the procedure is completely identical;
• the final result is sent to dry under a UV lamp until the moment when you get a strong and dense coating;
• The last step is to cover the nail plate with a glossy top.

Many girls are interested in how to get a mirror surface. This procedure has a practically similar technique, but the glitter should not be rubbed into the sticky coating, but into the top or gel without a sticky surface. The smallest powder fractions are perfectly fixed on a flat surface and form a mirror image of the desired tone.

This technique allows you to choose for the basis of any color solutions, because the finishing layer will have a mirror shine. Despite the fact that you can add a bit to the top, experts advise to keep in mind the order of application of the product in order to get a stable high quality manicure with an attractive design.

The color of the lacquer product on which you will apply the pigment is as important as the gel base itself. Pigment is characterized by translucency, so the specularity, based on the color of the gel, may have a color not of silver, but only its shade.

The easiest way is to apply the powder on the gel without a sticky surface, because in this case the bond will be stronger. If you rub in a sticky layer, it can roll into lumps, so you should carefully remove the stickiness, if it is present on the gel varnish.

You can rub in the powder not only in a colored surface, but also on top bases. Therefore, if you have a top at hand, for which the formation of a sticky surface is not typical, but there is no gel, apply it to the mirror pigments.

It is important to note that the gel-lacquer coating should be as smooth as possible, on which there are no blisters and bumps. This is an important condition, because such defects will stand out under the rub. Experts advise to get a self-leveled top or gel polish to eliminate such flaws.

Gel coating should be thoroughly dried before rubbing powder. For these purposes, it is necessary to increase the drying time under the UV lamp twice.

Rubbing can be done with a finger, sponge, shadow applicator, silicone brush and other tools. Repeat from what is convenient for you. Some girls prefer to use a finger, treating the edges with a wand and a rubber tip.

After rubbing, you need to carefully shake off excess sequins to eliminate their engagement with the top. If you do not remove the excess, ideally smooth coating will not work.

Before you cover the top, do not forget to file an end. This action will remove glitter from it, as well as qualitatively seal the nail plate with the finished design. If you do not seal the butt top, over time it will peel off and your varnish will peel off.

On the dark color rubbing may go too thin and form clearances. To eliminate this problem, use two layers of pigment.

Every woman wants to get into the spotlight, and a metallic-style manicure will help to stand out from the crowd. Mirror nails always look attractive, bright and amaze with their uniqueness.
