One of the most popular trends today is the use of matte varnish. You can find it in any cosmetic store. You can create a matte manicure not only in the salon, but also at home.

Features and Benefits

Fashion trends in nail services change constantly, and it is quite difficult to keep track of them. Lovers of everything original and stylish will definitely appreciate matte nail polish. It is no coincidence that this manicure option won the hearts of the fair sex. One of its main advantages is its original appearance and ease of regular application.

The only drawback can be considered the high cost of the product. But today there are many ways to make a matte manicure at home with minimal financial costs. Every girl can create a manicure that attracts the attention of others at home. This will save both time and money.

Applying matte nail polish has its own characteristics. Taking them into account, you can get a long-lasting and beautiful manicure without leaving your home.

Before applying the coating to the nail plate, you must carefully prepare it. If a glossy varnish can hide minor imperfections, then a matte varnish will only emphasize unevenness.

A non-glossy finish has become popular not so long ago. Today it is difficult to find a representative of the fair half of humanity who would not try it by personal example.

The main advantages of this option are:

• high durability. Matte varnish, unlike glossy, lasts much longer. In this case, it is not at all necessary to use a special fixing coating. Durability is increased by the type of surface. On matte varnish, roughness and scratches are less visible, which can be seen on a glossy finish the very next day;
• extravagance. The wide palette offered by well-known manufacturers of manicure products allows you to choose an original shade. For example, blueberry, orange, graphite, purple. By the way, dark colors look much more interesting in a matte version, without being vulgar;
• the ability to create original designs. An amazing combination of glossy and matte nail polish allows you to create manicures that are ideal for any occasion - a wedding, anniversary, romantic date, going to work.

For all its expressiveness, the matte finish is laconic and discreet. If you want to create a long-lasting manicure that will last longer than two weeks, then you should give preference to gel. This coating can be done in a beauty salon or at home if you have all the necessary tools and knowledge.

Many nail polishes begin to thicken after a certain amount of time. When the consistency changes, they are usually simply diluted with a special product. You can't do this with matte varnishes. It is due to the fact that the product will spoil the specific structure of the composition.

How to choose

When choosing the right shade, you need to take into account not only your own preferences. It is important that clothes and shoes are harmoniously combined with the color that you have chosen to create a manicure. Any stylist will tell you that preference should be given to a shade that is as close as possible to the tone of the outfit. It is also necessary to take into account the color type of the fair sex.

Girls with golden brown skin tone colors such as orange, copper, black, purple are ideal. Stylists recommend that they conduct various experiments with the image. The combination of different shades in a manicure can exceed any expectations.

Women with light skin tone, it is recommended to use gray, transparent, beige or black colors. If you don’t know which option is better to choose, then feel free to mix and match burgundy with any other tone. This is what nail art professionals advise. The beige shade goes perfectly with everything and always remains at the peak of fashion.

For those with skin with peach undertones You should give preference to silver, red, blue or lilac shades. For girls with aristocratic pallor, it is better to choose the color ocher.

When choosing a color for a manicure, consider your age. Young girls can choose almost any shade of pink, while this color applied to the nails of an older lady will emphasize age-related changes on the skin of the hands.

Colors

There are a number of differences between matte and glossy manicure. The first gives a pleasant satin effect without a hint of shine. The velvety structure attracts the attention of others and allows you to create an unusual design. The shades of the coating are obtained as if sprayed. The color range of these products is varied. From various manufacturers you can find both light, pastel colors and rich, dark ones. The last option on nails looks quite impressive.

In the lines of most manufacturers you can find the following shade options:

• transparent;
• burgundy;
• blue;
• black;
• white;
• red;
• green.

The varied designs look beautiful on a colorless backing. If you plan to use water-based stickers or apply pictures with special paint for nail art, then it is better to do a manicure in pastel colors. Dark colors are self-sufficient and do not need decoration. Although this is a matter of taste.

How to do a manicure at home

There are several ways to create a beautiful finish without a glossy sheen. Today, purchasing matte nail polish is not difficult. Many companies offer suitable options. The cost of products varies quite widely. Depending on personal preferences and financial capabilities, you can easily choose paint from a suitable company.

Matte manicures look perfect both on a first date and in an office setting, where you need to follow a certain dress code. It is not difficult to carry out the procedure for making your nails look attractive at home. The simplest option is to apply velvet-effect varnish purchased in a store.

For those who like to experiment, a suitable option is to transform the glossy composition into a matte one. The procedure is simple and does not require special preparation. In addition to creativity and your own curiosity, to create an unusual satin effect you will need:

• boiling water, which can be heated with a kettle or in a saucepan;
• glossy varnish of a suitable shade. If you plan to decorate your nails, you can take several colors;
• cotton pads or sanitary buds;
• removal liquid.

The step-by-step execution will look like this:

1. To apply the coating evenly, you must carefully prepare the nail plate. You can remove the old product using a special liquid. It is better to choose an option that does not contain acetone, since this substance spoils the structure of the nail plate, making it dry and brittle;
2. Degrease the nail. You can use the appropriate tool for this. It is unacceptable to use a moisturizer while applying varnish. It will affect the durability and uniformity of the coating;
3. Give the free edge the desired shape and length. To do this, you can use a file designed for natural nails;
4. Remove hangnails, push back with an orange stick or cut off the cuticle.

The preparatory stage is now complete. To create an attractive manicure on extended or natural nails you will need about 30-40 minutes of free time.

Please note that it will not be possible to paint the plate with a quick-drying finish. The product will negate the entire satin effect. Spend enough time getting your nails in order and the end result will not disappoint you.

The next steps will be:

1. Pour water into any container and boil, wait for intense steam formation;
2. Paint your nails with regular polish of the desired shade. You need to achieve a dense layer, without bald spots. It is enough to apply 2-3 layers without transitions;
3. There is no need to wait for the paint to dry completely, so after 10-15 seconds you can begin the procedure. Place your painted nails under steam. To avoid burning your fingers, you should keep your hand no closer than 15 centimeters from the water;
4. To get a satin effect, just hold your hands over the steam for 1-1.5 minutes;
5. There is no need to blot your nails. Dry naturally. As the water dries, the desired velvety effect will be created;
6. Wait until it dries completely and start decorating.

This method is best used to create a manicure in dark colors. Ideal shades of blue, gray, lilac, lilac, ash, blue, emerald. Pastel colors and varnish options with glitter or pearl will look a bit dirty. To achieve the desired result, do not apply the coating to all nails at once. Do your manicure gradually. Cover two or three nails at a time and hold them over the steam. Only after completing the procedure proceed to the next ones. It is not recommended to use fatty cream after this. It neutralizes the satin effect.

Another way to quickly achieve a matte finish is to apply a top coat. Today, manufacturers operating in the nail industry market offer a variety of fixative options. You can purchase a matte finish with a velvet effect. A special gloss remover coating is applied over any nail polish. The downside of this option is the additional cost of purchasing a top. But in this way you can make almost any varnish in your collection matte. Currently, you can use this finish to cover extended nails. Many manufacturers offer matte fixatives for gel polishes - an excellent option for lovers of long-lasting manicures.

There is another rather interesting way. To bring your idea to life you will need:

• toothpick;
• varnish of the selected tone;
• starch (potato or corn).

Take parchment paper or foil. Apply a few drops of your chosen varnish to the material. Then take a packet of starch and a toothpick. Sprinkle a small amount of powder onto paper or foil. Gently mix the varnish with the starch. This must be done quickly so that the composition does not have time to harden. In this case, the consistency of the varnish should become thicker. Do not overdo it. The varnish should be distributed normally over the surface of the nail.

Take a clean brush and apply the resulting polish as usual. You should start from the cuticle. You need to paint your nail in three layers. First we paint the central part, and then the sides. It is necessary to leave small gaps around the edges. After drying, the varnish will become matte. While drying, do not shake your hands or blow on your fingers. Dry with your fingers apart on a flat, flat surface. In this case, you need to do without a fixer.

Every girl can get a manicure quickly and easily. The above methods will help you achieve the desired effect with minimal cash costs.

Design ideas

Products without a glossy sheen have been produced for a long time. But they have gained particular popularity only now. Many craftsmen are ready to offer thousands of creative ideas to diversify the coating. Here are just a few common options:

• Lunar manicure. It is done in combination with glossy varnish. To create the desired effect, you will need to apply one or two layers of matte product to your nails. Wait until dry. Then, using special stencils or paper, close the “smile line” of the nail plate, which should remain matte. Then apply glossy polish to most of the nail. Only after drying can the stencil be removed. By covering different areas, you can create a traditional French or moonlit manicure as you wish. This option looks most impressive in black. The combination of matte and glossy attracts attention;

• Lace. In this case, nails without a glossy shine look mysterious and original. An elegant option for a true lady. In this case, the lace is created with a special design paint. The technique of depicting dots and lines is used. The design can be created with a brush, toothpick or needle. To depict dots, a dots or a regular hairpin with a metal ball at the end is ideal;

In the next video, the nail design with lace “Luxurious Diva”, made using gel polishes (shellac), is a stylish, fashionable and elegant Shellac manicure that will look very good on both natural and gel nails.

Don't be afraid to imagine and experiment. Matte varnishes allow you to create designs of any complexity.

Matteness is the main trend in nail fashion. If gloss screams and sparkles, then non-shiny nails with discreet dignity demonstrate self-confidence and elegance. Non-shiny nail polish speaks of a desire for naturalness, discreet but expressive beauty, and a commitment to a healthy lifestyle.

Features of matte manicure

The matte finish resembles velvet or velor. It makes the color deep, attractive, alluring. Since non-shiny manicure is in fashion, salons have acquired a rich palette of shades, and choosing your color is now not difficult. For a matte manicure to be flawless, you need to know some of its features:

• The surface of the nail plate must be perfectly flat before starting work, otherwise the matte varnish will reveal all the irregularities, which will hopelessly ruin the result;
• If a matte varnish is used for manicure, then it cannot be covered with a glossy topcoat, otherwise the matte effect will disappear;
• Matte polish takes a little longer to dry than glossy polish, so plan your manicure accordingly, or apply one layer of matte finish.

Modern products for non-shiny coating

For a velvet manicure, it is not necessary to use a non-shiny polish. There are other methods, including those available at home.

Top

Matte gel polish is not necessary to create a velvet manicure. A special top is enough. Covering your nails with a matte top coat is done according to the standard scheme:

1. shaping,
2. cuticle treatment,
3. coating with two layers of gel,
4. after each layer, dry the nails with a lamp;
5. applying a matte top;
6. removing the sticky layer.

A matte top will highlight unevenness if the varnish is applied incorrectly. Therefore, jewelry-precise coating application is required. Please note that the top coat will make the polish lighter.

Matte nails with gel polish

Matte nail polish, matte gel polish or shellac are available in an assortment both in beauty salons and in cosmetics stores.

Non-shiny varnish in dark colors looks especially good. You can choose a classic stylish monochrome, or you can combine a velvet base with glossy details, with a pattern:

• Rhinestones look impressive against a dark matte background.
• The use of two colors of sand varnish is laconic and stylish.
• The juxtaposition of velvet and glossy on different fingers is playful and provocative.
• Also trending is one matte nail combined with four glossy ones. And vice versa.

The application of both glossy and sandy coatings is suitable even for the official dress code. But in this case it is better to choose not bright shades.

How to apply matte nail polish? Just like glossy.

Transparent acrylic powder

Using acrylic powder is another way to create velvety beauty on your nails. Another beauty is that manipulations with acrylic powder can be easily done at home. At the same time, the velvety surface will be truly impressive. A coating of transparent acrylic powder is called “velvet sand”.

Acrylic powder is bought in cosmetics stores or ordered online. Consumption is economical, one jar will last for a long time.

Gel manicure is performed according to the standard procedure, but after applying the top, the nails are not dried in a lamp. Gently sprinkle acrylic powder onto the top coat and only then place your fingers in the lamp for 1 to 3 minutes. Then sweep away the remaining powder with a brush.

This option for creating a “velvet” manicure is so simple that even beginners get a gorgeous result the first time.

Dust

Matte dust, like powder, is applied to the sticky layer at the end of the standard gel manicure procedure. Only dust is poured on and applied with a brush. Then the nails need to be dried in a lamp.

Secrets of decorating marigolds at home

What to do if you really want a fashionable coating, but don’t have professional tools at hand? There are a lot of options for making a matte manicure without a matte top coat.

Using a grinder

Matte manicure can be easily done using a router or a regular buff. To create a non-shiny coating using a sander, after completing the standard gel manicure procedure, you need to carefully remove part of the top layer of top coat with a cutter or buffer. Then it will turn from glossy to velvety. Upon completion of the procedure, wipe the nail with a sponge and disinfectant.

Using steam

The simplest matte manicure using steam is done not with gel polish, but with regular one. In this case, even a quick-drying fixative cannot be used. You will need to wait for the varnish to dry naturally. Actually, this is the only difficulty when creating a matte finish using steam.

So, you need to treat your nails and apply varnish in 2-3 layers to obtain a rich, uniform color. At this time, the water should boil in the kettle. Immediately after coating with varnish, expose your fingers to steam. You need to keep your hands at a distance of 10 - 15 centimeters from the kettle so as not to get burned. One or one and a half minutes of steam treatment is enough. After this, we wait for the varnish to dry and admire the resulting effect.

Using corn starch

Corn or potato starch is a cheap, readily available product that makes glossy varnish look exquisitely velvety.

To make this magic happen, pour a little varnish onto the palette (regular varnish, not gel), add a pinch of starch and mix thoroughly. The varnish will become a little lighter and change its structure. Now you can apply it to your nails and wait for it to dry naturally.

How to turn glossy varnish into matte in a bottle

Since glossy varnish is no longer in trend, don’t throw away numerous bottles of your favorite shades. We need to turn the old varnish into a new one - matte. You can make gel polish matte using powder or non-shiny eye shadow. Just add a little to the bottle and mix well.

How to make a matte manicure last?

Durability is the main characteristic of gel manicure. A good gel polish lasts on your nails for up to a month and looks fresh. In order for the non-shiny coating to please the owner for a long time, it is better to make it with gel polish.

Velvet manicure opens up a lot of new possibilities. If you make all your nails glossy and leave one or two matte nails, it will be unobtrusively stylish. You can coat, for example, the ring finger on which you wear a wedding ring with sand varnish.

Another original idea is a matte French coat. The entire nail should be coated with sand varnish, and the tip should be glossy.

Glossy drops look gorgeous against a non-shiny background. It seems that the water has not had time to drain from the fingers. Fresh and original solution.

Lace made with varnish using a stencil looks elegant on a dark matte finish.

For a party or disco, you can get a manicure with rhinestones. Shiny pebbles on a velvet background look harmonious.

The nail industry presented ladies with a gift in the form of fashion for a non-shiny nail coating - deep, expressive, stylish, reminiscent of both the sand on the seashore and the velvet of Scarlett O’Hara’s dress.

The desire of every representative of the fair sex is to emphasize her natural beauty. Many people primarily focus on their hands, so they should have a well-groomed and attractive appearance.

In order for your hands to look well-groomed and beautiful, you need to be careful about your manicure. Today, a type of manicure called shellac is becoming increasingly popular. You can make it yourself at home. But the special highlight of this type of manicure is the matte finish of the nails.

The main advantages of shellac

Shellac has a number of significant advantages. It is suitable for any type of nails and any shape. Shellac helps strengthen the nail plates and is ideal for girls who have thin and brittle nails. It has a lasting effect - lasts up to 20 days and does not lose its attractiveness. It can be used to create both glossy and matte manicures.

Among the advantages is a wide color palette, which constantly varies under the influence of fashion trends. Shellac is safe for nail plates; it does not contain any substances harmful to the body. This manicure does not deteriorate when doing household chores. It is done at home, knowing certain features of implementation and having a set of necessary tools. Interestingly, when purchasing a set of tools for shellac, you can receive detailed instructions that describe the technique for creating a manicure.

Today, glossy coating is becoming less and less popular; it has been replaced by matte manicure. The technology for its creation is also called velvet. With this type of manicure, it is recommended to apply a dark matte finish - blue, burgundy, purple or black varnish. Various patterns, rhinestones or sparkles look very impressive on them. You can even make a matte jacket with a matte finish; with such a jacket, rhinestones are very impressive.

Advantages and disadvantages of matte coating

The main advantages of this manicure are:

• simple application technique that does not require experience or complex tools;
• it’s easy to purchase coverage at an affordable price and varying quality;
• With the help of an unusual design, you can additionally create various patterns.

The main disadvantages are that it is necessary to strictly adhere to the execution technique and carefully apply the product so that it does not spread and does not leave gaps. In addition, if there are irregularities on the nail plate, coating with matte varnish will only highlight them.

How to make shellac yourself

First, the nails are prepared for applying varnish. The cuticle is processed, the desired shape of the nail is modeled, then the plate is polished using a nail file. Next, the surface of the nail is degreased and disinfected with a special product. Then a base is applied - a base gel, which is fixed using an ultraviolet lamp. And only after that a matte coating is applied to the nail. This layer is also fixed with a lamp. The final touch is the finishing layer of varnish, which is applied along the edge of the nail plate. It also needs to be fixed with ultraviolet light.

When going to a nail salon, you probably wondered what design to choose this time and is it needed at all? Girls, tremble at the approaching ultra-fashionable trend! Nowadays, a glossy finish is bad manners. Matteness, that’s what’s trendy and fashionable this season!

Matte manicure with a pattern

A plain matte manicure looks beautiful, but drawings will help make it truly impressive. Of course, artists will cope with this task very quickly, but what to do if you are absolutely not friends with art? Special stickers and various stencils were invented just for you. They will help you create an amazingly beautiful design that will evoke admiring responses from your girlfriends and work colleagues.

Glossy nail polish is perceived as familiar. Therefore, fashionistas have a completely justified desire to diversify the design. Matte manicure is a concept that appeared not so long ago. Gradually, this nail design has gained popularity around the world. Now the shades can be purchased in almost any store. But it is not necessary to buy funds. To learn the intricacies of performing such a design, you just need to be interested in how to make a matte manicure at home. After that, all that remains is to use the tips.

Modern matte finish products

The first ones with a matte effect that appeared on sale did not look very attractive. Some fashionistas even compared them to gouache. After all, these varnishes differed from glossy coatings only in the lack of shine. Modern means are of better quality. They are presented in a fairly diverse palette of shades. Cosmetics stores offer fashionistas varnishes with the effect of suede, velor, and rubber. They look most striking in black, dark blue, and cherry. This design visually narrows the nails. As a result, the fingers look more graceful. That is, a matte manicure at home can be performed after purchasing the appropriate products.

Sand varnish coatings are popular. These products contain shimmer and glitter. Due to these components, nails acquire a characteristic appearance. Of course, the easiest way is to purchase a ready-made product that has a matte effect.

Application Features

Special matting agents dry quickly and independently; drying treatment is not necessary in this case. They are easy to apply to the nail plate due to their liquid texture. But since you can make a matte manicure at home using improvised means, it is not necessary to purchase expensive special coatings.

It is noteworthy that a day after creating a manicure, the varnish may begin to crack and crumble. An undesirable feature is the appearance of shine. This occurs a few days after the coating is created. Unfortunately, the luxurious matte finish is prone to fading. In this case, you can use a top designed to create a velvet effect. It is also possible to cover the nails with a new layer of varnish on top of the existing one.

You should also thoroughly treat the nail plate. After all, after using matte varnish, any irregularities on it become noticeable. For this purpose, it is best to use a special polishing block. After this, apply the base in 2 layers. Each of them must be completely dry. If you apply varnish to a wet nail, the coating will look like sloppy stripes and bumps. Small inaccuracies need to be corrected. A brush soaked in solvent is best suited for this. After the transparent coating has completely dried, you can paint your nails with your chosen colored varnish. If you use these recommendations, you can do it at home. The photos demonstrate this step by step.
