Opal Gel Polish

Opal is a fantastically beautiful gemstone with a rainbow glow. Noble opals are distinguished by a bright pure color and color-changing tints. This feature of genuine stone is its translucent which are quite rare. Artificial opal can be a good alternative to natural opal stone. The advantages are greater resistance to external influences. Today synthetic opals have learned to make really high-quality and they look very impressive.

How to make Opal manicure ?

There are 2 ways of creating Opal nails -  adding aurora nail flakes or using opal gel polishes. Ofcourse it is 2 different designs.

Opal nails with flakes

1) Make standart preparation - buff, apply ultrabound.
2) Apply Kodi white rubber base - it will serve as base cover and white layer for design. Dry 2 min
3) On second layer of white base coat put little size aurora flakes and dry in lamp. Try not to put flakes on end of nails.
4) Apple 1-2 layers of matte top coat. Design is ready!

Pros of such method is  that manicure in this version is most similar to the opal stone.
Cons is that such a manicure wears out quickly due to the fact that the flakes that are located close to the edges come off.

Manicure with opal gel polish

1) Prepare nails as usual.
2) Apply Oxxi white rubber base (can be any white base coat). Dry in UV/LED lamp.
3) Apply 1-2 layers of Grattol opal gel polish and dry it.
4) Cover nails with top coat.

Pros is that such manicure will wear up to 3-4 weeks.
Cons - has less resemblance to opal compared to the first option.

Both designs look gentle and charming.
