The trend of the season is craquelure polishes! This season, it is especially fashionable to decorate nails with cracking effect varnish.

Craquelure polish (that's what it should be called) is a novelty that many women have yet to try.

For the first time «cracking» varnishes were introduced last year by European cosmetics developers. Masters of artistic manicure immediately became interested in the novelty and began to experiment.

The “forefather” of this trend in manicure design was the technique of artificial aging, which is actively used in painting and interior design.

Vintage returned to fashion a few years ago and during this time managed to get to nail art. Modern masters most often resort to the help of «craquelure», creating drawings that imitate crocodile or snake skin. It is also possible to paint nails like Gzhel or antique porcelain.

The choice of varnishes is quite wide. Thanks to this, nail art specialists have a lot of room for ideas. Today, cracked varnishes can be found in a regular store at a relatively low price.

Craquelure manicure is a simple art. Any person can master it.

The sequence of operations is standard: — remove excess fat from the nails with nail polish remover; — apply base coat and base (varnish of any color at your discretion); — wait until the base will dry; — we apply the first layer of «craquelure» — we get a «light» mesh. To make the drawing more textured and spectacular, apply two or three layers.

All craquelure varnishes are matte.

Gloss varnish will help to influence this circumstance.

To the manicure has been preserved for a long time, cover it with a layer of “strengthener”. When buying craquelure varnishes, please note that they differ not only in colors, but also in the strength of “cracking” — while the number of cracks varies.
