Want to create unique nail designs on a budget? Here’s how to make your own mermaid glitter and opal effects. Using simple ingredients, you can mix up distinctive nail art materials that add personality and value to your manicure.
DIY Mermaid Gel Steps
– Prepare materials: No-rinse styling gel, pearl cream, aurora powder.
– Take no-rinse styling gel, pearl cream, and aurora powder in a 3:2:2 ratio and place them on the palette.
Mixing Process: Thoroughly blend the three ingredients using a tool until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. This completes the basic mermaid glue.
Creative Extension
– Gradient Effect: Apply mermaid-inspired gel polish to create a gradient effect on the nail tip, achieving a dreamy, gradient look.
– Texture Shaping: Use tools to create dimensional textures, enhancing the layered effect of nail art;
– Outline Drawing: Dip a fine brush into mermaid glue to trace lines and create line patterns;
– DIY Colors: Add your favorite color gel to the mermaid gel, then mix again to create other shades of mermaid gel. Feel free to experiment with various colors to suit your preferences!
DIY Opal Gel Steps
– Prepare Materials: No-rinse styling gel, opal powder. Place the no-rinse styling gel and opal powder in a 1:2 ratio in the mixing area.
– Blend thoroughly: Use a tool to mix and stir the two components until a smooth, shimmering texture forms. Adjusting the ratio or combining with other fine glitter materials allows you to create opal gel in a wider range of colors.
Practical Tips
Mermaid gel and opal gel are both no-wash materials. After completing your nail art design, you can apply them directly over the top coat. They add a dazzling, atmospheric effect to your nails, making your fingertips stand out even more.
