Ideas for creating spectacular mirror nails

If you don't have the opportunity to visit a professional manicurist, but want to create a spectacular manicure, try a mirror nail design. A mirror nail design will prove to be a great way to get a lot of admiring glances from others without having Picasso's skills.

Mirror manicure in gold or silver is the hottest trend of the season. However, the problem is to find the right way to create such a design, the choice today consists of mirror polishes (such as those found in Chanel, Sally Hansen and OPI polishes), mirror foil, minx film or false nails. There is also a special Maybelinne Mirror varnish on sale, the kit includes a base coat and, in fact, varnish for a mirror effect.

The design is perfect for parties and discos! And for every day for those girls who love extravagance.

Comparison of mirror nails

FAKE NAILS

Obviously, artificial nails are the smoothest, shiniest and most mirror-like, but they also have some drawbacks: they are thicker and less natural than others.

How to stick false nails

You can find similar mirror nails from other manufacturers, they are available in online nail stores.

Pros of false nails:

- A quick fix when one of your nails is broken and there's a holiday coming up.
- The mirror shine is super attractive.
- For at least three days, artificial nails are easy to carry.
- Nails are long but can be filed to your ideal length.

- False nails are still a little "bulky" and don't look natural
- Sometimes there is a gap around the edges (between the natural nail and the artificial one) and something tasty can get stuck there.
- Mirror finishes are very susceptible to scratches and wear, so it's important to use a topcoat to protect them.

Silver foil actually has a more mirror effect than polish. The folds are not so visible if you look at the manicure from a longer distance or if you glue it very carefully. Thin foil is laid on a special glue, for more information on how to use silver foil, see the video tutorials.

MINX FILMS

Another great option with a mesmerizing effect is Minx foil, which is relatively inexpensive, and its sheen is enough to get a mirror effect. A lesson on how to use Minx films can be found in this. Minx films differ from foil in that they have a ready-made adhesive base.

MIRROR VARNISHES

As you can see in the first photo, nail polish looks more boring than foil and fake nails. They, in fact, have practically no "mirror effect", but varnishes are easy to apply.
