French manicure at home. We cover nails with gel polish

French shellac manicure is in high demand. The reason for this is the durability of the decorative coating, the aesthetic appeal of this type of design.

To understand what the secret of French manicure is, it is worth plunging into the history of the times of the 70s. This is a period of rapid development of the film industry in Hollywood. Producers and directors were then seriously puzzled to find a universal coating for actresses' nails that would fit all outfits and looks. The task seemed impossible until the talented entrepreneur, founder of ORLY, Jeff Pink, developed a unique design, which was named French. Then he made a splash in the fashion world.

As it turned out, a natural, uncomplicated, sophisticated French manicure was ideally combined with a wide variety of wardrobe items and accessories. Since that moment, French manicure has conquered the whole world.

What is a French shellac manicure today?

Despite the fact that many decades have passed since the first discovery of the French design, it does not lose its relevance, on the contrary, its popularity is growing every year. To date, French manicure with shellac is performed in a variety of variations. It is enough to provide a creative approach, to turn on the imagination, and you can make your nails so that it will be difficult to look away from them. By strictly following the instructions that will be described below, you can make yourself a manicure as good as a master.

Before starting work, it is important to decide on the type of shellac jacket for short nails. He might be:

• classic - means a bodily basis, a white tip;
• chevron - "smile" is made in the form of a V-shaped line, the shade can be used both classic white and color;
• millennium - the free edge of the nail plate is decorated with sparkles, sand (decorative elements);
• colored - as the name implies, the tip of the nail is made in contrast;
• fan french - lace, dried flowers, broths, foil, rhinestones can be used as decoration elements;
• wedding - done using special brushes for pattern painting;
• art jacket - implies the presence of a variety of images.

French manicure with shellac - what do you need to work?

Are you dreaming of doing a French shellac manicure at home, but are you afraid that it will not work? You know, this is quite possible. You cannot do without the following tools, materials:

1. forceps, scissors (manicure);
2. files with different degrees of abrasive;
3. stick for cutting cuticles (orange);
4. remover - a liquid with a softening effect;
5. base - varnish;
6. white varnish, if necessary, also a pastel coating;
7. top product;
8. smile painting brush (thin), stencils can also be used.

If a complete set of tools is not available in the house, then you can purchase it in a specialized store. Before you start creating a French manicure with shellac at home, it doesn't hurt to watch a thematic video.

As you can imagine, the accuracy of the finished result depends on the evenness of the smile painted with shellac on the free end of the nail plate. Without experience in this matter, it is better to purchase special stencils in the form of stickers of various shapes (they are straight, triangular, oval).

When buying, keep in mind that the strips can only be used once, so they need to be taken with a margin. These should be high quality stickers, because too cheap will stick strongly to the surface of the nail, thereby spoiling the base coat. Scotch tape is not recommended for this purpose.

How to do a French manicure with shellac, step by step instructions

Before you start doing French manicure using shellac, you need to get your nails in order. To do this, remove the old coating (if any), then give the plates the desired shape / length using a nail file. By the way, it will be easier to remove cuticles if you first make a salt bath or apply a remover. With an orange stick, move the cuticle aside, then polish the nail with a buff, apply the base (it can be a colorless hardener).

If you like a transparent base, then you can immediately proceed to drawing smiles, if not, then apply shellac in a pastel shade, place your hands under a UV lamp, where the coating will polymerize.

When using stencils, manicure is made faster and easier, for this you just need to stick them on all fingers at the same level, leaving the tips of the nail plates free. Along the stickers, cover them with white varnish, and when it dries, remove the stencils. At the end, the nail is covered with a top product.

Likewise, you can make a moon design. Always be guided by the photo of a French manicure with shellac, which are freely available on the Internet. (Photo)

If you want to try freehand decor, then a little patience is required. After covering the nail with a base and body varnish, it must be thoroughly "dried". French shellac manicure is done as follows:

• dip a thin brush in white varnish, put 3 small dots (the middle one means the maximum height of the border, those on the sides are the bend points);
• then you need to carefully connect them, immediately paint over the remaining tip of the nail with white, place your hand under the lamp;
• After making sure that the shellac is completely polymerized, apply a top coat.

Following the instructions, you will get a French shellac manicure, as in the photo.

Better yet, watch the video to understand how to do this correctly.

By the way, some people do natural French nail designs without the use of varnish. A special white pencil is intended for this, but do not be surprised if the shape of the smile is not ideal. It is best used as a complement to a varnish-based finish.

The use of shellac for nail coating has gained popularity due to its improved coating performance. You don't have to visit a salon to get yourself such a manicure. The procedure can be carried out at home, but for this you need to purchase special equipment and know the rules for working with the material. How to cover your nails with shellac at home is described in this article.

What is Shellac

Shellac is a modern manicure product that was invented by the American company CND in 2010. CND (Creative Nail Design) was engaged in the production of varnishes, manicure tools and nail care products. Shellac was introduced as a unique composition for decorative manicure and quickly gained popularity among women for its qualities.

A spectacular, elastic and durable finish suitable for weak and brittle nails

The shellac coating is odorless, hypoallergenic, free of formaldehyde and toluene, suitable for thin and fragile nails. At the same time, shellac provides flexibility and strength of the nail plate, improves the appearance of nails, protects against the effects of household chemicals and mechanical damage. In terms of consistency, it is a varnish, but in terms of properties, it is a gel, which is dried in a special ultraviolet lamp. Covering with shellac is practical because it does not wear off and lasts up to 3 weeks.

Comparison of the properties of varnish and shellac (table)

Shellac gives a thicker, more saturated color

What coatings to choose

With the advent of Shellac, consumers began to call any gel polish shellac.

Despite the fact that CND does not consider Shellac a gel polish, users equate them. There is an opinion that Shellac contains the resin of the same name or its derivatives. However, no official source mentions the organic polymer content of shellac in CND products.

• Of course, the leading place among gel polishes is occupied by the American company CND as the inventor of shellac. The quality of Shellac CND coating differs from that of other manufacturers. But he has worthy competitors that are worth paying attention to.
• OPI GELCOLOR gel polish is a gel that is dried under LED lamps. OPI does not require pre-sanding of nails and claims ultra-fast drying - just 4 minutes for all coats (including base and top coat). Consumers, however, note the liquid consistency of this gel polish and, accordingly, a less intense color than that of CND shellac.
• Gel Polish Artistic Color Gloss. To cure the gel, you need a special LED lamp Artistic LED PRO 30, in which the curing process takes only 30 seconds. The manufacturer promises a flexible glossy finish that lasts up to three weeks. This gel polish has a thick consistency, so it is recommended to apply it in thin layers.
• Shellac Blue Sky is another popular gel polish, but users pay attention to the liquid consistency and the need to apply up to three coats for a thicker finish. This coating is dried under a UV lamp.

Examples of the most popular in the photo

What to look for before applying

• To avoid misunderstandings, you should pay attention to the fact that the degreasing liquid, base, gel polish and top coat must be of the same manufacturer. It is then that the result will correspond to the declared one.
• With a fungal infection of the nails, it is not recommended to apply shellac in order to avoid exacerbation and spread of the process.
• You should refrain from applying shellac while taking antibiotics, as the coating will not adhere well.
• In order for the shellac to hold for a long time and not tarnish, contact with products containing acetone and household chemicals should be avoided. It is recommended to use rubber gloves to protect the coating.
• In the first two days after application, it is not recommended to visit the bathhouse and sauna.

How to apply shellac at home

Working with shellac is as simple as working with regular varnish. But it must be dried in a UV lamp, since only under the influence of UV waves of a certain length will a transition from a liquid to a solid state occur, and an elastic film forms on the surface of the nail. For the same reason, shellac is packaged in opaque bottles, as it curls up when exposed to sunlight.

What is needed to complete the technique

• Ultraviolet lamp;
  Different types of lamps work with different coatings, and the exposure time for each lamp is individual, therefore, when using a particular model, be sure to read the instructions.
• soft file for processing nails;
• lint-free napkins;
• degreasing agent CND Scrubfresh;
• Base Coat by CND;
• shellac CND;
• UV top coat from CND;
• CND "Cool Blue" adhesive remover or alcohol wipes;
• cuticle oil.

7. Dry in a lamp for 2 minutes.
8. Apply a second, thicker coat. A layer that is too thick can swell, so use in moderation.
9. Dry under the lamp for 2 minutes.

What problems can you face when applying

Even strictly observing the technology, you may not get the perfect result. Let's consider what problems may arise and ways to solve them:

• Chipped coating. To prevent this from happening, it is required to seal the ends of the nail with each layer of the coating. Flaking nails can also cause chipping. To correct exfoliated areas, a structuring gel is used, which is applied to the nails immediately after the base.
• The coating does not dry and lies unevenly. It should be remembered that it is recommended to apply shellac in thin layers. This way they dry faster and give an even and shiny finish.
• Loss of shine. If the shine disappears immediately after applying the top coat, then another coat of top can be applied. If the shine has disappeared during the wear process, then you can renew the coating with ordinary varnish, which is applied on top of the shellac.
• Uneven coverage due to the curvature of the nail plate. Shellac lays unevenly on uneven nails. To smooth the surface of the nail, a structuring gel is used.

Color mixing

In order to get new shades of shellac, you can use the sequential application of one color to another. In addition, each layer must be dried under a lamp. How to mix shellac colors correctly, you can find out by watching the video (video).

The applied pattern is dried under a lamp for 1 minute and a top is applied, which must also be dried. You can decorate your manicure with rhinestones.

A shellac french manicure is an opportunity to get a beautiful, elegant and long-lasting finish. A manicure performed with shellac gel polish can last up to three weeks on the nails.

Features and Benefits

To make your jacket look natural and natural, you need perfectly straight and smooth nails, which every woman cannot boast of. But with the help of Shellac gel polish, such a manicure can be performed on any nails, because in addition to durability, the resulting coating has perfect evenness, smoothness and glossy shine.

In principle, Shellac gel polish is very similar to traditional varnish both in packaging method and in consistency. It is also sold in 15 ml bottles with a convenient brush. However, this is where its similarities with ordinary varnish end. You can wear a shellac french manicure for up to three weeks without fear that it will crack and peel off even under regular exposure to water, mechanical stress and low temperatures.

The composition of the gel includes special components that give a glossy shine to the nails throughout the entire period of use of the manicure. It doesn't matter whether you choose a bright saturated color of varnish or a pastel classic jacket.

This type of manicure should be ordered for those women who, by nature, have very tonic, poorly growing and brittle nails. Thanks to special components of natural origin, the structure of the nail is denser, it becomes stronger, and you can easily grow a long manicure.

The shellac coating is absolutely non-toxic and does not have an unpleasant odor, so even pregnant and lactating women, as well as those who have allergies, can order such a jacket.

French on nails with shellac: execution technique

Shellac french can be done on both short and long nails. It is only important to strictly adhere to the execution technique, which has several stages:

1. The preparatory stage includes correcting the shape of the nail, processing the cuticle in any way convenient for you and polishing the nail plate to improve its adhesion to the base.
2. It does not matter whether you perform a colored French shellac or a classic one, degreasing the nail plate must be performed. It is also needed to increase the manicure wear period.
3. After that, a base layer is applied to the nail, and the nail plate is dried under ultraviolet rays for two minutes.
4. When performing a French shellac with a stencil, it is important to choose the right order of action depending on the color of the varnish. If you will be using a transparent or shiny background, then it should be done after the smile with a stencil. A lacquer of a more intense pink shade is applied before the smile line is completed.
5. After applying the first layer, the varnish is dried under a lamp. Drying time under an ultraviolet lamp is two minutes, and under an LED lamp - about 30 seconds.
6. After drying, a smile line is performed. To do this, you can use a thin brush or stencil.
7. After applying the smile line, the nails are dried again under the lamp. When applying varnish, it is important that the layer is very thin. Otherwise, the durability of the manicure may be reduced.
8. At the end of the execution of the jacket, the sticky coating is removed using a special tool.

Persistent, long-term and bright manicure, which does not make you constantly worry that at the most inopportune moment it will suddenly crack and "bare" your nail - everyone dreams of doing this. But constant housework, washing dishes, and just contact with water of high and low temperatures mercilessly spoil even an expensive coating. Shellac is an alternative to classic manicure and gel extension at the same time. Bright or French shellac - they always look advantageous.

Shellac: advantages over varnish and gel

Shellac looks like the most common varnish: numerous jars with a bright liquid inside and an easy-to-apply brush. However, unlike ordinary varnish, a manicure made with shellac can last up to three weeks, even with active work and the use of a variety of chemicals. A special composition is able to make nails shiny throughout the entire period after application, regardless of whether it is a dark, bright color, or a jacket was made.

This coating is ideal for those who have short and brittle nails: thanks to the strength of the applied composition, it strengthens them and allows them to grow.

Shellac does not contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde, does not emit an unpleasant odor, which means that it is absolutely safe to make it even for allergy sufferers and pregnant girls.

Variety of palette for creating solid or French manicure

The color variety of professional shellac is striking in its amount! Different series and shades of sensually reds, deep blues, greens, playful pinks and sunny, classic browns, beige will allow you to make the perfect manicure.

In addition to the monochromatic coating, shellac has a series of special French shades that create a unique coating. The smile line can be more or less bright:

• The Cream Puff shade has a strong white pigment for a classic French manicure;
• Studio White is a white, but calmer tone, more close to the color of ivory.

The coverage of the entire nail is presented in a wider range, thanks to which a different effect can be achieved:

• Negligee is a traditional jacket, it is a translucent milky shade with a slight pink tint;
• Beau is a pale pink color with a matting effect that perfectly hides all the irregularities and imperfections of the nail plate;
• Clearly Pink - the bright pink of this transparent shellac will allow you to make a natural manicure;
• Mother of Pearl - a transparent base and fine glitter powder give nails a pearl shine, perfect for even a daytime look;
• Zillionaire - silver and golden small sequins make this French manicure truly festive and incredibly bright, despite the seemingly classic finish.

French manicure with shellac: easy steps for the perfect manicure

The creation of such a manicure is similar in technology to gel nail extension. However, making it with shellac is not as difficult as it might seem: anyone who is familiar with varnish can master the technique.

• First of all, the nail is processed: you need to give the regrown part the desired shape, remove the cuticle in a non-cut way, after which the plate is processed with a polishing file for better bonding of the applied funds.
• The degreased nail is covered with a special base layer, after which it must be dried in a UV lamp.

Now the fun begins: the creation process! It is quite difficult to make a jacket, so every movement must be neat. The sequence of applying the shellac for a smile and the base color for the nail depends on the effect: it is better to apply transparent and shiny over the smile, while shellac with pink color is first of all.

1. Apply the base color in a thin layer, and then dry it in a lamp.
2. A smile is best done using a thin brush: first draw a line, and only then paint over the regrown tip. In total, there should be two layers, and necessarily thin, so that the French manicure does not crack ahead of time. Each of them must also be cured in the lamp.
3. After the jacket is made, the coating is wiped with a special solution to remove the sticky layer.

Watching the relevant videos will tell you in more detail and more clearly how to make a beautiful jacket using shellac.

In addition to the presented palette for creating a classic jacket, you can make color options by painting a smile in a wide variety of shades. In this case, shellac is applied to the regrown nail last.

Long-lasting, always shiny and neat French - this is exactly what you can achieve with just a couple of cans of shellac. And if the coating gets bored or ceases to please with its appearance, it is as easy to remove it as the varnish: it is enough to have a special liquid, film and follow the instructions exactly.

Each representative of the fairer sex wants to look dazzling. For this, girls and women regularly apply decorative cosmetics to their skin and choose suitable outfits. However, the lady's look will not be complete without additional small details. Manicure plays an important role in the appearance of a woman. In this article, we will focus on covering with a French shellac. You will learn how to apply the design and get acquainted with its features.

How to make a French shellac?

If you decide to make this design for the first time, then you should contact a specialized salon. It is there that experienced craftsmen can easily create a beautiful "smile" on your nails. Also, experts will pre-process the plate so that the jacket with shellac lasts a long time and pleases its owner for at least one month. It is worth recalling that such a pleasure will cost you a certain amount. It costs about 500-1000 rubles to apply shellac (French) to your nails. It all depends on the degree of skill of the specialist.

If you want to save money on manicure and learn how to cover your nails with shellac on your own, then you should stock up on the necessary attributes. You will need a lamp to dry the gel, several different brushes, stripes to create a "smile", a base and matching polish colors, and a finishing coat. Don't forget about manicure supplies and items like nail polish remover or degreaser with napkins. How to make a French shellac at home? Let's take a look at the step-by-step instructions for creating a classic design.

First step: preparing nails

Before you start applying shellac (French) on short nails, as well as on long ones, the base must be applied to the plate. Before that, it is worth pre-processing the cuticle and stratum corneum of the marigold. In order for the coating to last longer, cut off the surface of the marigold with a soft tool or polishing. Do this very gently and gently. If severely damaged, you can get serious problems.

When all the marigolds have been processed, remove the excess cuticle. Use tweezers or scissors for this. You can also use a special device for processing. Remember that before you make a jacket with shellac, you should not carry out a wet manicure. Otherwise, the coating may not adhere well to the plate.

Second step: applying the base

French shellac is applied only after laying out the base. If you have extended nails, you can skip this step. In this case, the color is laid out directly on a layer of gel or acrylic.

The base should be applied with a wide brush. Paint over each nail carefully. At the same time, try to rub the base with a brush into the plate. After processing one hand, place it in the lamp. Drying should take about two minutes. Do the same with the other hand.

Third step: creating color

What will your nail design be? Shellac (French) can be chosen in color or classic. Follow this procedure if you need to apply a base. Choose pastel or bright shades. Remember that a manicure should complement the main image, and not be the center of attention. After covering, dry it in the lamp. It takes about three minutes to hold the pens in the device.

Stage four: framing a smile

If you are good enough with a brush, then use it to create a smile. Place a small amount of the desired color on the palette and from there take a shade and create a smile. You will need a very thin brush to manipulate.

If you do not have art skills, then purchase special stencils. They can be disposable. These are glued to the very tip of the nail. Also recently, reusable stencils have become increasingly popular. They are made of soft silicone and are suitable for several applications. Apply the chosen product to the tip of the nail and cover the voids with a suitable shade. Remember that all layers must be very thin. Otherwise, the shellac will simply shrink as it dries.

Stage Five: Completion

When you dry the resulting coating, you can apply additional elements. It can be a variety of shellac or acrylic paints. Also, craftsmen often use decorative elements such as rhinestones, sequins, beads, and so on.

After fixing the selected decor, you can make the final coating. The base has a rather liquid consistency and looks more like a regular transparent varnish. This substance must also be dried in a lamp. Process the marigolds for five minutes. After that, evaluate the quality of the manicure and, if necessary, correct the defects.

Summing up the article

You now know how to make a French shellac design. Remember that you may end up with a slightly skewed result the first time around. But after just a few workouts, you can easily and simply create a beautiful coating for your nails.

To remove shellac and completed French manicure, you need to purchase a special composition. You just need to put your fingers into it and scrape off the gel coating with a spatula. You can also use regular nail polish remover and foil. Simply apply the composition to a swab, place it on your finger and wrap it in mirrored paper. After ten minutes, remove the workpiece and clean the plate. I wish you success!
