Lac chameleon for nails: photo. Application Features

What kind of nail polish today is not present: with fine glitter, with large, with figured, matte, glossy, with the effect of cracking and others. Even the most demanding lady can find something to her liking for. But the most popular now is to use a varnish-chameleon, changing color depending on certain conditions.

Varieties

Naturally, such a product, as a chameleon nail polish , has its own unique properties. So, there are two types of this coverage:

• Changing color depending on temperature;
• Changing color depending on the lighting.

Recently, the first variety has recently been in demand, according to customer feedback. The chameleon lacquer, which changes its color when the ambient temperature changes, became a hit of 2015. And it is still popular.

Is it not harmful?

Many people think that once the chameleon nail varnish can change its color, it has too much chemistry, which harms the nail plates. In fact, everything is not so terrible and sad. First, there is nothing superfluous in the composition. Use this product can be exactly the same as conventional nail polish, giving a couple of months of nails respite. Secondly, the discoloration is provided by particles that, under the influence of light or temperature, begin to move. And this is what leads to the chameleon effect. The particles themselves are absolutely harmless. Thirdly, no one forbids the use of the basis for manicure, which protects the nails from harmful substances contained in varnishes. It is transparent, dries quickly, prolongs life to the applied coating.

Lacquer or gel-lacquer?

This question is asked by many girls. Of course, both of them have their advantages and disadvantages. Gel-lac chameleon also has a number of advantages:

• Easy to apply;
• Long held;
• Has an extensive color scheme.

The disadvantage, as a rule, is one - the need to dry in the rays of an ultraviolet or LED-lamp, which not everyone has at hand. It is worth noting that some girls, often using shellac, including gel-varnish chameleon, have already purchased small-capacity equipment for home use. For example, a UV lamp of 9 watts, which will cost 500-900 rubles. And this is quite a bit, considering how much you can save on manicure. But the chameleon varnish, although popular, but became in 2016 significantly lose. Yes, it is cheaper than gel-lacquer, but it is kept at times less - about 5-7 days. After that, the manicure has to be updated, which pleases not all the girls.

Common disadvantages

Regardless of which particular chameleon is used, there is one minus that combines the covers. It's a change of color! It would seem, this is the whole "trick", but it was not there. If the color changes due to temperature, then a small incident can occur - this will happen unevenly. For example, when moving from a warm room to a cold girl's nails, a whole "color representation" will occur. Lacquer or gel-varnish will not, as in the picture, evenly change its hue. No, it will be chaotic, because the temperature of the hands will also change systematically. That's why masters of nail art recommend first to try a varnish-chameleon for nails (photo above), reacting to the change of light, and then the thermal coating. This makes it possible to test both products by choosing the best for yourself.

By the way, chameleon varnish, changing color depending on the lighting, the shade changes evenly and completely on the entire nail. This falls in favor most often young girls who visit night clubs. There, light changes due to color music and stroboscopes. These varnishes are called fluorescent. The same, which depend on temperature, - thermolacs.

Rules of application

Actually, they are exactly the same as when using a conventional gel-varnish or varnish. But to manicure lasted longer, you can resort to simple advice. So, chameleon varnish, like any other, is better applied to the base. This has already been discussed above. To date, there are special strengthening base coatings that not only prolong the life of the lacquer coating, but also favorably affect the natural nail plates. Therefore, it is worthwhile to apply at least one layer of such a foundation.

But that is not all. After applying a colored layer of varnish, you can fix the manicure with top. Some firms even produce special finishing coatings for chameleons. They are most suitable for such varnish. But if there was no special fixer at hand, the usual one would do. The main property of the chameleon varnish is not affected in any way - it will change its color under certain conditions.

A little about the rules of applying gel-varnish

In general, they are the same as for any other material of this type. Gel-lacquer necessarily requires a base, a finish coat and a UV lamp. Without them, manicure just will not work. Applying the gel-varnish chameleon, you should pay close attention to the coating of the ends of the nails. If they are poorly colored, then the material will be cleaved within a couple of days. And if you apply too much gel-varnish, then look like a manicure will be sloppy. But in general, these rules apply to the usual product of this type, not only to chameleons.

To make a manicure more unusual, you can combine several different colors at once. This will give the design a special charm and style. And if you use a matte top, then the manicure will become even more unusual and fashionable. Matte nail art is now at its peak!

Customer Reviews

Despite the fact that there are a huge number of firms producing varnishes that change their color, they are all essentially the same. Therefore, reviews of customers should be considered as a whole. So, the chameleon varnish, the photo of which can not fully convey its effect, fell in love with the young girls who are looking for unusual ways of decorating their nails. But the mature ladies and middle-aged women, such "chips" seem like nothing more than self-indulgence. Perhaps, try at least once the varnish or gel-varnish with the effect of the chameleon is, but it's not necessary to fixate on it: there are many other ways to decorate a manicure. And even more unusual than described in this article.
