White pedicure options

Very often for the summer girls prefer a white pedicure, which looks especially impressive on tanned skin. True, it is not suitable for everyone. The problem is that this coating visually shortens the plate of already short nails.

As an alternative, many girls prefer to use white shades together with white, decorate the pedicure with an additional set of decorative elements. More radical girls replace natural shades with brighter ones.

For those who prefer the classics, the best version of the pedicure will be a jacket. But some people think that it can only be done by a professional, but it is not.

The best samples of white pedicure

A good design is a white pedicure with an African motif. But in order not to overdo it with the number of ornaments, it is enough to decorate only a few nails.

A white pedicure in a strip is considered a simplified option for those who do not yet own a list of ornaments and patterns. And the most popular, of course, is the sea theme.

Another option for relaxing at sea is a pedicure with white lacquer, decorated with sparkles. The advantage is "long life". Believe me, longevity of such a pedicure can only be nail extensions.

Well, and the last sample: a floral theme. What can be more lovely and feminine than delicate flowers on a white background?

White pedicure with rhinestones

A great way to add some refinement to the appearance of the feet. Very gently and elegantly looks a white pedicure (photo below) with rhinestones. This option is suitable for any outfit.

Also the pedicure with a white varnish decorated with a flower list also effectively looks.

How to glue crystals

To glue stones of small size, you need to slightly moisten the toothpick and touch the face of the rhinestones, then simply transfer to the nail and carefully press down. The smallest are usually glued to a clear lacquer. But you need to remember that you need to paint each nail separately, and not all at once, and glue the rhinestones very quickly, until the varnish is dry.

Large stones are glued to special glue, as it is more reliable. More thoughtful girls replace it with glue "Moment", which is sold in miniature packages. When working, a toothpick is usually used. If you squeeze the contents of the tube on a nail or a stone, then the pedicure will turn out to be sloppy.

To fix the rhinestones at the end of the procedure, apply a fixer.
