Varnishes with magnets: manicure salon at home

You've probably heard about such a trendy trend for nail design as varnishes with magnets. They appeared in 2007, but the main mass of women of fashion became known only in 2011, and the real boom was made in this year, 2012. With the help of such a varnish you can make beautiful intricate patterns yourself at home, without resorting to the help of expensive services of a master. Most famous companies offer their collections of magnetic lacquer, in their arsenal of varnish-magnets of different shades and shapes, with different patterns. These are either waves, or stars, or stripes. Depending on your income and preferences, you can buy a lactomite from Golden Rose, Dance Legend, Nogtika, Lancome, Chanel, Dona Mirelle, OPI, Dior, etc., in almost every fashion store. etc.

The secret of this varnish is in the composition, the innovation of which is the particles of metal, or the so-called metal powder. In the procedure of manicure, you need to use a magnet that collects these particles of metal from varnish into fancy patterns. Impressive is that the edges of the resulting drawings are blurred, and give the effect of 3D, that is, the manicure looks bulky, which is almost impossible to do at home. By the way, it is often possible to buy such varnishes with magnets for modeling in the kit. Most often, the magnet is right in the top of the lacquer bottle, which is quite convenient. But in the absence of a magnet in the kit, you can buy a magnet with a pattern that is closer to you, separately. They are available in the form of flat plates or convenient special installations that have a substrate for the finger

The simulation procedure, which uses varnishes with magnets, is very simple. First of all, as in the case of manicure in the traditional way, hands must be prepared accordingly - we remove the cuticle, we give the desired shape to the nails. We lay the basic basis. Next comes the turn of the magnetic varnish. It is applied evenly, in one - two layers, for each of ten nails. The layer must be massive. Next - the turn of the magnet. Do not hesitate, until the varnish is dry, it is necessary to bring the magnet to each nail for about 15 seconds. The time you bring the magnet should depend on what kind of effect you want to achieve: if you want to get a more diffuse picture - enough for five seconds, and to get more precise boundaries you need to hold the magnets longer - up to fifteen seconds. You can also choose the direction of the pattern. It can be transverse or longitudinal, it all depends on which side you will hold the magnet. Remember, the magnet should not touch the nail plates. You can thus perform not only a manicure, but also a pedicure - after all, in a woman everything should be fine - from the tips of the nails on the elegant hands, to the tips of the nails on slender legs. Some manufacturers advise to fix the effect with the final touch - to apply the last layer of a fixer, while others say that it is not worth it, because it can lubricate the pattern. It remains only in each specific case to find an optimal variant by using such know-how as varnishes with magnets.

I would also like to advise the magnet to be stored separately from varnish, so that it does not lose its properties. In the event that you have covered the magnet with varnish, it should not be washed with a liquid for removing varnish with acetone.

Even if you do not apply the pattern with a magnet, and just apply it on the nail plate as usual, the magnetic lacquer looks quite attractive, temptingly pouring into the light. In addition, in favor of the choice of this varnish, in addition to its aesthetic and practical qualities, the statements of manufacturers about the usefulness of lacquer - some of the components of which it consists, have medicinal properties, so the nail strengthens the nail.
