The advantages include a wide color palette, which allows you to choose for yourself the perfect option.

Separately, it is worth noting gel varnishes. In their collections there are also varnishes that allow you to achieve a mirror shine. Unlike the previous version, this one will stick on the nails much longer. In addition, the surface of the nails will be perfectly flat and durable. However, this option is suitable only for those girls who have special equipment in the form of a lamp for drying gel polish.

Manicure with reflective film

One of the easiest ways to create stunningly beautiful manicure is to use a reflective film. But to make it at home you need to prepare the following materials:

  • basis under a varnish;
  • orange stick;
  • the reflective film of the color you like;
  • base varnish;
  • clear nail polish.

First, we recommend to make a hygienic manicure, so that the coating was perfect. Then we apply the base under the lacquer, which will align the nail plate and provide additional protection. Carefully paint the nails with colored lacquer that matches the foil tone and wait for drying.

Apply a clear lacquer on each nail alternately and apply a foil to the sticky layer, then press it down. Level the irregularities with an orange stick and separate unnecessary foil residues. This is the last step, as the finish coating can remove the mirror shine.

False nails with a mirror effect

Therefore, we recommend that you contact the experts who will select the tips in accordance with your every nail. Another disadvantage associated with their removal. The fact is that at home you risk damaging your nails. Best of all, the master at the beauty salon will do it.

Manicure with mirror stickers

Shining manicure can be made even easier by using special stickers. Surely you have seen sets of such stickers, which consist of ten pieces and have the shape of a marigold. This coating is quite resistant to damage, so you can wear it for at least one week.

Initially, we recommend to make a hygienic manicure so that the design looks good. Then degrease the nails with nail polish remover and select stickers for each of them that fit the width.

To prevent mirror stickers from peeling off, first you need to warm them up for a minute, attaching them to a desk lamp. Only then can they be applied alternately to each nail. Leveling is best using a simple napkin. You can make a manicure a little more durable by applying a clear varnish.

Unlike other methods, stickers can be used to create an unusual French or lunar manicure with a mirror effect.
