Nail Art Flakes & Shavings
What is shavings for nail design and what visual effects does it create?
Under proper lighting, the shaving effect on nails looks voluminous and multifaceted. If you use matte shavings, the coating acquires a cozy, "wooly" look, perfect for autumn-winter designs. Glossy or neon shavings, on the other hand, create a dynamic and juicy image. The main advantage of the material is that it is self-sufficient: you do not need to use additional paints or stickers to make the manicure look finished and professional. This is an ideal choice for those who value speed of work without loss of quality.
How to properly apply shavings for manicure so they last long?
One of the most frequent questions from technicians is: how to fix loose decor so that the client wears it until the next correction? Manicure with shavings decor is performed quite simply if the technology is followed. The main secret of durability lies in the correct choice of the "substrate." It is recommended to apply shavings to the sticky layer of colored gel polish or a thin layer of uncured base (or special decor glue). After you have evenly distributed the fragments with a fan brush or a pusher, it is necessary to lightly press them to the surface with a finger (in a glove) or a silicone brush so the edges do not stick out and the surface is as smooth as possible.
After applying the decor, full polymerization in the lamp is mandatory. To ensure that shavings for manicure do not chip or catch on clothes, they must be securely fixed with a finish coating. Technicians advise using a top coat with a sticky layer for better adhesion or a thick rubber top that will reliably "seal" the decor inside, creating an even highlight. If you want to preserve the pronounced texture and tactility, you can use a matte top, which will emphasize each strip of decor. It is important to carefully seal the edges of the nail to prevent moisture from penetrating under the decor.
