Gel polish coating has been in great demand lately. Its attractiveness is that it lasts long enough and protects nails from peeling. You can do a moon manicure with gel polish both in the salon and at home.

What will you need?

First of all, you need to take care of the UF or LED lamp. Gel polish, like nail extension gels, hardens only in a lamp. As a rule, both types of lamps are suitable; they will dry the coating perfectly. The only difference is in the time of use (in UV 1-3 minutes, and in ICE 10-30 seconds). More precise information about the drying time of gel polish should be found in the instructions for using gel polish. It may differ from company to company.

In addition to the color coating, a base coat and a top coat may be needed. The base allows you to get maximum adhesion to the nail, and the top (the last step) adds shine and protects the coating from sun exposure.

You also need to take care of such liquids as a dehydrator - it dries the nail plate, which increases the adhesiveness of the coating - and a clinser (if the top coat has a sticky layer).

Additional accessories you will need are files for natural nails, a pusher, a brush for brushing away sawdust, lint-free wipes, templates and brushes. It is worth noting that the files need to be soft (for example, 240 grit) so as not to damage the nail plate.

Let's get started

To execute moon manicure(like any other) gel polish, you need:

1. Remove old coating.
2. Disinfection means cleanliness not only guarantees health, but also ensures that no mold or other unpleasant things form under the coating.
3. Using a pusher - this tool pushes back the cuticle and moves the pterygium. It is almost invisible on the nail until you start to move it. Also located in the cuticle area. Remember that if nothing moves, then you don’t need to be zealous and harm your nail, which means you simply don’t have pterygium. This tool can be replaced with an orange stick, which will reduce the risk of damage to the nail plate several times.
4. File - used for two actions - giving shape to the free edge (even if you like it, still use the file purely symbolically, the edge needs to be updated) and for removing the top fatty layer from the surface of the nail. It's important not to overdo it here. There should be no pain, red spots, etc. You just need to remove the shine from the nail.
5. Removing sawdust - you can use a special brush or a lint-free cloth soaked in a cleanser.
6. Dehydrator - it must be applied to the entire nail, it dries quickly and the surface remains matte. After using it, you should not touch your nails with your fingers, lips, or anything that can make them greasy.
7. The base is the first layer. It must be applied thinly and carefully. It is necessary to retreat from the cuticle and side ridges to 1 mm. This will help avoid material peeling and extend the life of the coating. Dry in a lamp for the time specified by the manufacturer.
8. Colored coating. There are several application methods, depending on both the color scheme and technique. In any case, you need to cover the nail in several layers, drying each one, and do not forget about the indentations as in the previous paragraph.
9. Top. May be with or without a sticky layer. Apply last, dry well and remove the sticky layer if necessary.

Lunar manicure with gel polish: method 1

This design is most easily accomplished using paper templates. Apply the color of the hole to the entire nail, dry it, seal the required part with a template, and all that remains is to cover the remaining part with the main shade.

This rule does not work with all colors. You need to be very careful so that when mixing shades you don’t end up with a muddy color or something else.

This method is ideal for white. You need to apply it to the entire nail in 2-3 layers, drying each one. Then either draw a hole on top of it desired color, or stick the template and apply the main gel polish (so that the hole turns white).

Method 2

You can also use a thin brush and perform a lunar manicure no worse than with templates. Depending on how convenient it is to paint the hole (that’s the beauty of gel polish, it can be wiped with a dry brush and adjusted endlessly until it dries), and then apply the main color with a brush from the bottle.

In the second method, mixing of shades is eliminated and much fewer layers are applied than in the first. This makes the coating more aesthetically pleasing and without steps that may appear when using templates.

Both methods are good in their own way and everyone should choose for themselves which one suits them best. By the way, the time of the procedure itself depends on this. After all, it’s not very easy to draw beautiful holes the first time with a brush without experience.

In addition to the design

If a two-tone coating seems boring to you, then remember that you can always complement it with various decorative elements. This role may include:

• rhinestones - both along the entire border of the hole and individual ones - will add some elegance to the design. Can be applied to a sticky topcoat layer;
• glitter, broths - many options for use, depending only on the author’s imagination;
• painting - if you have this skill, you can decorate your nails with some patterns or colors;
• French - looks original when not only the hole differs in color from the main nail, but also the free edge, as with a French manicure. It is not necessary to make a wide stripe.

The flight of imagination in this design is very wide, and with modern materials and their accessibility makes it easy to implement all ideas. A good example would be a lunar manicure, photos of which are presented in this article. This design will be a great addition to your look in any situation.

There is always an alternative!

If you are not sure that this design will suit your hands, then you can always do a test moon manicure with varnish. It will take much less time, because the technology is much simpler. Of course, you shouldn’t dream of the same durability as with gel polish, but you will get a 100% idea of ​​the design.

Another alternative is a gel moon manicure. The execution is very similar to applying gel polish, but provides more options. For example, lengthening nails, smoothing the surface and creating beautiful architecture. In the latter case, the procedure will be very time-consuming and will require certain skills.

If you simply apply gel to your nail, you can expect chipping or peeling because natural nail more flexible than coating.

Nail design is more popular today than ever. Beauty salons offer visitors more and more new finger decoration techniques. One of these options is the lunar manicure, popular in the 20s, but then completely forgotten and again reminded of itself in 2007, which bears the second name “lunar French”.

Among the many types of manicure, the option with a very poetic name is especially popular. And although the origin of his name is more than prosaic, this does not make nail art any less loved by women. After all, if you come up with imagination and put a piece of your soul into the process of creating it, then a lunar manicure will become an exquisite decoration for even the most sophisticated female hand.

Lunar manicure

This version of manicure, later called lunar, first appeared relatively recently - at the beginning of the last century. The peak of his popularity was the thirties. Then they forgot about lunar manicure for a long time, as it became unfashionable. But at the end of 2009, the famous connoisseur of retro style Dita von Teese revived interest in it. Around the same time, such manicures began to appear on the catwalks of the country. At most shows of fashion houses, for example, Dior, the models’ nails sported a mesmerizing lunar manicure, evoking memories of good old Hollywood. From this year until now lunar nail art has not lost its position in fashion, where it confidently competes with everyone’s favorite French manicure. Therefore, to diversify your usual manicure options, you can safely choose lunar nail art. And it remains relevant this season, which is why fashionistas around the world do not stop experimenting with this nail art, coming up with more and more variations on the theme of the Luna manicure, as many call it.

The divine Dita Von Teese returned this type of manicure to the catwalks

It is especially appropriate if you want to create a charming retro-style look. In this case, a lunar manicure will make a wonderful finishing touch to your look.

Let's now try to figure it out according to its classical canons. And it is a nail art in which the hole at the base of the nails is not painted over with varnish, which creates a beautiful gap in the form of a crescent - the moon. This is where its name comes from. But that was at the beginning. Today, fashion is introducing more and more new trends into this version of manicure. First, the stylists changed the shape of the part of the nail that remained unpainted: now the oval of the crescent is extended in either direction, and both of these options remain relevant and fashionable. Then, taking into account the bright colors of varnish that are popular this season, the hole near the base of the nails is either not painted over, covering the rest of the nail with varnish bright color, or the hole and nail are painted with varnishes of contrasting colors. And here, too, there can be many combinations. The most pompous of them is a black nail with a gold or silver hole; a red nail with a blue or white hole, as well as a green one with a yellow hole, also looks interesting. Everything here depends on your desire and imagination.

This is how classic lunar nail art is done

If you are tired of the classic oval, any shape is possible. The main thing is that the nail hole stands out

This manicure is good because it is suitable not only for long nails, but is in perfect harmony with medium and medium-sized nails. short length. On not very long nails in a lunar manicure, it is better to use more bright hues, because black color visually shortens the nail, as do other shades of dark varnishes. And connoisseurs of creativity in manicure can add drawings or rhinestones to it, leaving as the basis the classic version of the moon manicure from one color of varnish or applying several colors of varnish on one nail at once.

This manicure is easiest to do in a beauty salon, but if you wish, you can do it yourself. Lovers of variety can easily complete moon manicure at home.

To do this, you will need simple stencils, which you can purchase in the store. Although you can completely do without them by drawing the hole yourself with a thin brush. But at the same time, you will have to try to achieve uniform nail art. Making it is not as easy as its opposite - French manicure, which has already become familiar to us. The lunar version of the manicure, in which a “smile” needs to be drawn at the base - the hole of the nail, and not at the end of the nail as in a regular French manicure - is often combined with a standard French manicure. In this case, the smile and crescent moon should be drawn, pointing them in the same direction. Moon manicure also differs from French manicure in the use of contrasting colors. This is how French manicure is usually depicted light shades varnishes, and moonlight, on the contrary: the more contrasting and brighter the colors, the better the manicure. In this case, experiments with the most unexpected color combinations are allowed. You also need to take into account that this manicure, like many others, visually makes the nail shorter. And if, for example, a French manicure is appropriate on nails of any length, then for a lunar manicure they are more suitable long nails than short ones.

It is easier to apply a moon manicure on your nails with special stickers for a French manicure. You will also need a thin brush. So, the nails are pre-prepared, as for any regular manicure. Crescent polish is applied first. Then it dries so that the stencil does not stick to the varnish. Next, a special strip for a jacket is glued near the hole of the nail and the entire nail is covered with a color contrasting to the hole, without going beyond the boundaries of the stencil. When drawing a crescent without a stencil, first draw a semicircle line and then paint it over without crossing the conditional line. To draw a smile for a French man, you don’t need any special skills, because this is no longer a discovery. Therefore, you can safely use a combination of French manicure and moon manicure. And on top of these artworks a transparent finishing varnish is applied. When choosing colors for the base of your manicure, you can take into account the latest fashion trend - matte colored varnish.

Let's do beautiful manicure themselves

Lunar French

In recent years, double lunar manicure, which also includes a French manicure, has burst into fashion. At the same time, the crescent moon stands out in a different color both at the top of the nail and at its base. The moon jacket, which is actually not such a new product, was popular back in the forties of the last century, and it was then called “Hollywood jacket.” Fashionistas of that time varnished their nails so that both the hole and the end of the nail remained unpainted. Often, a regular French manicure was added to the lunar French manicure, then semicircles were drawn in the same color both at the hole of the nail and at its end. But there are also originals that risk combining several colors of varnish for the top and bottom of the nail plate. As they say, it's a matter of taste! Many girls would like to do this manicure themselves. They are hampered, as always, by the fear that they may not be able to conduct it perfectly. straight line, especially when working with your left hand. And thanks to master classes and step by step instructions Any girl can do this manicure. If you don’t have a good idea, then the gallery will suggest ideas and inspire you, which you can study and implement on your own nails. Watch, repeat and improve with your own fantasies.

To make this nail art yourself, you first need to degrease the nail plates with nail polish remover. Then you need to organize the cuticle by applying softening agents to it, and after a few minutes, pull it off with a regular orange stick. Before varnishing, you need to coat the nail with a protective strengthening agent. The next step is to apply the base coat. It is important to pay attention to applying it to the hole area. For the hole itself it is better to choose classic color from white and beige to gold and silver. They look best on bright or dark varnishes. Then the moon stands out. To do this, first take an ordinary pencil (you can use the one used for lips), sharpen it well and draw neat semicircles on the nails. An uneven, crooked line can be wiped away using cotton swab, moistening it in lotion, which will not damage the varnished surface in any way.

Carrying out moon manicure at home, you can make stencils for the moon and “smile” yourself, or you can buy them in the store. But they are not always convenient due to their opacity. Because of it, it is difficult to understand whether the semicircles are similar to each other, the same can be said about “smiles”. Moreover, the varnish tends to flow under the stencil, which can only be corrected by repainting the entire nail. Therefore, it is easier to draw moons and “smiles” with a pencil. To complete the lunar manicure, you need to arm yourself with a lipstick brush: it is very convenient and much thinner than the brush used for varnish. The brush is carefully dipped in dark varnish and outlines the previously drawn semicircle of the moon and “smile”. After this, you need to cover the remaining half of the nail with varnish and remove the remaining pencil near the hole. The nail is again coated with varnish: first dark and then transparent.

In recent years, designers have come up with many options for how to make a moon jacket.

But in any of them, a mandatory moment is nail treatment:

• bath for them
• straightening the shape of the nail,
