Glitter gels

In the world of nail design, new products are constantly appearing, which immediately become popular. One of these new products is gel paint. Today we will consider in detail what it is and what it is for.

What is Glitter Gel Paint

This is a material of a special structure, which resembles something between gel polish and gel. The most popular brand for this product is Glitter Gel Hollywood OXXI. They have a wide range of glitter gel paints that stick well on nails for several weeks. As for the composition of the product, it is a pigmented nail gel with the addition of glitters. The consistency can be different: from liquid to jelly-like. Gel paints dry completely only in a UV lamp. They polymerize only by means of ultraviolet radiation.

This material differs from a simple gel in that it is more pigmented. It is recommended to use a 36 watt lamp for working with gel paint. A less powerful lamp simply will not completely dry the gel paint on the nail.

Liquid stones

This is also a current trend that is currently at its peak. Take any glitter gel paint you like and create a real gem on your nail. To do this, you need to take a material of high density. Place a large drop in the chosen place on the nail and hold it in the lamp twice as much so that it freezes well. If you want to do something even more unusual, then mix several gel paints for a unique shade. Such stones on the nails look stylish and creative.

French

Make a colored jacket. Now it is a current trend that has captured the whole world and is loved by fashionistas. Choose any shade of glitter polish and cover the overgrown nail with it. For covering, it is recommended to use a beveled flat brush to create an even line. Choose a brush with elastic and synthetic bristles.

Thin line patterns

Quite a popular version of manicure, thin lines of sparkles will emphasize the taste of the owner of the manicure and will shimmer nobly. It is recommended to make lines with a thin brush. Put some paint on the tip and start drawing free geometric compositions.

The difference between gel paints

Today on the market you can find a wide variety of gel paints that differ markedly from each other. Their differences are as follows:

• Consistency. Gel paint can be very thick, then it is used for creating borders or casting. If it is of medium density, then it is suitable for creating various designs. Liquid gel paint is designed for French or nail painting.
• Density of pigmentation. The paint can be either hyperpigmented or translucent. Sequins shimmer beautifully in both versions.
• Complexity of shades. There are both classic shades and complex options, for example, gray or blue space, a shade of mulled wine, and so on. The sequins have incredible shimmer and shimmer beautifully in the sun.
• Packaging. Paints can be sold both in cans and tubes. There is no difference, because in work it is convenient to use both.

What to do with brushes after using gel paint

After finishing work, use a degreaser to clean all brushes. Then blot them with a lint-free cloth. Make sure that the remains of the gel paint do not remain on the brushes, otherwise they will harden and then it will be impossible to clean off the paint. If you notice a fresh trace of paint, then remove it from the plastic surface with a napkin, which you have previously moistened with a degreaser.
