Unusual cracking nail polish
More recently, masters and lovers of naildesign were delighted with the appearance of a novelty, allowing you to create an extremely unusual pattern on the nails. If earlier there were no doubts that all unusual nail varnishes having different color and density characteristics have already been created, today this fact is refuted: the cracking nail polish has become a new sensation of the season.
What it is?
First of all, it should be noted that synonymscracking varnish - craquelure and python. French "craquelure" is used to refer to a small crack in the layer of paint in the picture. In this case we are talking about a special lacquer used by artists, designers and furniture makers for the artificial aging of furniture and interior items. The same technology is used in nail design.
Cracked nail polish can be of two types:
- The fence cracelure leads to the appearance of large cracks through which the lacquer base is clearly visible (this is the basis for the cunning: the desired effect is created by the "detection" of the sublayer).
- thread or spider-craquelure makes it possible to create very thin cracks, almost completely concealing the lower lacquer layer.
How to apply a cracked varnish?
Before application it is necessary to clean and degreasenail plate, which is achieved by means of a liquid to remove varnish. To avoid severe harm to the nail, the product used should not contain acetone.
Then the nail is covered with base varnish. Before you begin to work on the design, think through the color combination of the base lacquer and craquelure, so that the result suited to your tone along the tone. After application, the base layer is dried.
The next stage is the application of a "cracked" layer. Cracked nail polish is applied in a thin layer: it is necessary to make sure that the lower layer is at least slightly visible. Dry it. The drying process is accompanied by the appearance of cracks through which the main layer is visible.
Do not forget to apply the last layer. Let it be a colorless varnish or fixer, the main thing is that without it all cracks very quickly come off.
Now you know how to apply a cracked varnish. Let's proceed to a combination of colors.
How to combine colors?
It's easy to do using everyoneknown color wheel. Drawings created with a combination of different colors can be the most unusual. Varnishes for nails allow you to do something original and at the same time refined. For example, using a combination of diametrically opposite colors, it is possible to increase the brightness of the base layer, which will enhance the cracking effect; for a more sophisticated image, you need to select the tone of one color wave, so that they do not emphasize, but only complement each other.
As usual, white and black lacquers are classics,suitable for any occasion. It is only necessary to choose a cracking nail polish, combined in color with the wardrobe. Also for the base, varnishes with sparkles and pearlescent varnishes are excellent.
With the help of such a varnish you can even give a pictureeffect of antique porcelain, for which you only need to combine the color of melted milk and white cracking varnish. No less interesting drawings are obtained using a varnish with sparkles or a silver lacquer base.
A few tricks
As in any other case, the application of craquelure has its own subtleties:
- it is mandatory to use an upper fixing or transparent coating,
- Cracked nail polish allows you to create a different depth of cracks: a lot depends on the thickness of the applied layer (dry brush - the guarantor of a thin layer),
- the use of earthy shades is not recommended, since the earthy color has not yet adorned anyone.
With the help of a cracked varnish, it is possible to create extremely unusual drawings on the nails quite quickly and without much difficulty. Thank you for your progress!
