☆ Mirror Nails ★

This time I will introduce the most popular nail this year. It is the nail I want to do the most now.

Every year various nails are popular, but the most popular of this year is Mirror Nail. Many pictures are also posted on instagrams, websites, etc.  Mirror Nail is a metallic nail like a mirror. It is different in gloss and texture from glitter. Orginally it was prevalent abroad.

 

 

 

You paint and finish powder with a glitter called mirror powder. If you have these four items you can do it.

①Chrome powder

②Eye shadow chip

③Your favorite base color

④Hard　gel

First, you paint the base color on the nails. Next, apply hard gel on top as a coat. After curing, wipe gently. Next rub the nail with powder on eye shadow chip. You will coat the gel again with the last finish. It is easier to see the video than to read the explanation.

 

I was wondering if I was painting something, so I was surprised when I learned it was powder. There are kinds of mirror metal and silver metal in powder. This is a comparison image. The top is mirror metal, so it looks shinier. The silver metal is slightly dull, so it's cool. The impression is completely different between the base color of pink and black.

 

 

 

Even cute pink color, the impression will change when coating the mirror powder. This is painting mirror powder from the top of the part.

 

 

 

Making all nails mirror style is very flashy.

 

 

With a simple design you can assimilate fashion. Please try it!

☆ Knit nails ★

This time I will introduce knit nails. This design is from December of last year.

Knit nails are three-dimensional nail art that expresses a knit net pattern with nails. It is a nail design with a very seasonal feeling, so it is representative of autumn and winter nails in recent years. It was a very popular design with winter nails in 2015. And it is the design of the year in 2016 as well. Rather than do knit nails on all the nails, I think it's better it a few parts are knit nails and the other parts are  with other designs.

This time I used knit nails for Christmas nails.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A knit nail is on the middle finger of the right hand and the ring finger of the left hand. My nail artist draws the pattern manually. There's a  Christmas tree on my index finger on the left. This is made by placing a stone on the drawing of a green tree. The index finger of the right hand imagines a present box. The gold color is tape. The ring finger of the right hand and the middle finger of the left hand have plenty of image of Christmas. It is hard to understand, but the parts of the bell are on the left. For other fingers, parts of crystals of stars and snow can be seem. The artist put the parts of the bow on the thumb.

 

In this way, it is recommended to use knit nails as an accent. Knit nail is made by mixing acrylic powder with gel. These items can be found at Daiso and other shops. You can do it yourself easily. Knit nails also fit Nordic patterns and tweed patterns. Depending on the color, a nail can be done in the spring.

 

 

 

However, it is embarrassing if you are doing Christmas nails after Christmas, so let's think about the season. I'm going to got Christmas nails this weekend.
