Any manicure begins with the preparation of nails. They give a well-groomed appearance, adjust the shape, remove the cuticle. Remember that the velvet design looks great only on well-groomed and beautiful hands. Upon completion of hygiene procedures, apply a transparent varnish on the surface of the nail plate.
Apply colored nail polish on your nails. If its consistency is sufficiently liquid, you can repeat the procedure twice. The shade of varnish is chosen to match the flock. When using a transparent base, you should be prepared to take a little more lint to completely coat the nail plate.
Pour a small amount of flock onto paper or another convenient surface. Cover one nail with a varnish or a transparent base and put your finger on the fibers. Do rolling movements to get the particles on the entire surface of the nail plate, while not forgetting the tip of the nail, which should also be covered with a flock. Brush off excess paint with a dry brush. Alternately repeat the procedure on all other fingers.
Only 3 simple steps and your velvet manicure is ready. Do not cover the finished result with a top coat of varnish. The design will instantly lose an attractive look, the surface will darken, become hilly and ugly.
