What is so interesting news?
Their key features include the following characteristics:
- for an accurate visual reproduction of the technique of watercolor painting, a special base is needed, distributing (spreading) over which the textures of new gel varnishes create this expressive effect of half-smoke;
- gel varnishes with the effect of spreading are not tied to the color of the substrate: both on the light and on the dark any design option looks spectacular. And it attracts with a saturation of color solo or a beautiful combination of color pigments with micro-spangles or the smallest pearlescent particles complementing them;
- coatings have a sticky layer, and therefore require careful application in order to avoid contact with the skin (and hence the possible allergic reaction);
- new items do not require special tricks when removing the design and are not capricious of choosing a lamp for the polymerization of the finished image;
- in contrast to the classic shellac (without effects), the products for this technique are less demanding on the choice of finishing coating, since the top does not spoil the design when drying.
However, these are far from all the positive moments that tip the scales towards a closer acquaintance with watercolor shellac. We suggest that you take a closer look at the advantages and disadvantages of using the Irisk “Watercolor” and “Watercolor shine” gel varnishes presented in our range.

Watercolor shine coverings are not only perfectly combined with each other, but are fully suitable for combination with the base Watercolor collection.

- very beautiful, elegant and attractive visual effect.
After spreading, the drawing retains its brightness, clarity and saturation at the edges of the contour, whereas by the middle of one or another element, a blurring effect (haze, veil) is obtained. That is, a kind of light gradient is created, due to which the manicure acquires volume, while maintaining a particular femininity and lightness.
How to create a durable manicure with watercolor gel polishes that attracts attention with its beauty and emphasizes the beauty of your nailpot (both natural and extensions)?
Wet Manicure: how to work with watercolor gel polishes.
If you follow all the recommendations for working with watercolor gel polishes, even a small palette of shades can be turned into reliable assistants for a 100% elegant result. Do you want mentally-soft, penetratingly feminine images-pictures on your fingers? Love striking beauty designs in the style of "Zhostovo" or "romantic gradient"? Spreading gel polishes under the power of any whim of the client. Prepare the nails as standard for applying gel polish (classic cut or not cut manicure with a remuver) and proceed to create a masterpiece!
For abstractions, you can use dots, for painting and drawing - a set of brushes for painting and wax pencils for installing rhinestones or other small decor.
The steps to create a watercolor design without a color substrate are as follows:
1. We form the desired shape and, if necessary, file the desired length with a file.
2. Remove natural gloss from the surface of the natural nail with a buff and apply a degreaser. If necessary - we apply a primer.
3.If you create a saturated image - immediately proceed to the application of the special base. For a softer and airy design, it is better to resort to using leveling or camouflaging basecoats.
4. Next, apply a thin layer of the base coat Wet Gel Polish and, without subjecting it to polymerization, begin to paint.
5. A very thin layer create the necessary elements on the surface. The thinner the layer, the more expressive the spreading. At the same time, we try not to hold the brush many times on the same place (the effect may deteriorate). If the gel polish is not enough gradient flow, stretch it with a thin brush and send it to the lamp for drying. The total spreading time of the elements of the figure is from 10-15 to 30 seconds.
5. We cure the design in the ice machine for 30 seconds (2 minutes in the ultraviolet), cover the image with the finish (for further decoration, it is better to choose the version with a sticky layer).
6.According to your wish, we finish painting with gel-paints, fix rhinestones, coat the spaces with a layer of top.
7. Repeat the drying and admire the ready manicure.
Stages of creating a watercolor design with a color substrate:
- We carry out the basic preparation of nails, apply the foundation for gel polish (classical or rubber) and dry it in a lamp in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations (30 seconds in a led device, 2 minutes in a uv-lamp). If you wish, do not forget to remove the sticky layer with a special preparation.
- Cover the nail in 2-3 layers of colored gel polish evenly and thinly, layer by layer drying in the lamp.
- Perform steps 4-8 from the previous master class.
Each master has his favorite images with watercolor gel polishes, and on the whole there is a great variety of patterns and designs. Consider the most simple and fast, to create a manicure yourself at home.

- with watercolor gel polishes it is simply impossible to create something stylistically inconspicuous.
Even chaotic dots overlapping each other, due to spreading, create the feeling of “multi-layered fabric”, with attractive radiance of bright natural colors.
- to create images as from the paintings of artists do not need a large arsenal of brushes.
You can work as a brush from the gel polish itself, and use thin brushes (straight or beveled, depending on which drawing you are creating).
- aqua-shellacs do not require mandatory additional decoration with rhinestones, glitter or bouillons.
Of course, the decorative elements may be appropriate to add a manicure in accordance with the idea. However, if you have a strict dress code at work, or you just do not like complicated nail design ideas that spread to the effect of colored muslin, gel polishes are an excellent choice.

- a huge variety of designs.
Since the textural features allow you to save some time when creating a manicure, you can make a mistake without fear, slowly practice in drawing pictures, various types of painted designs and monograms. Such gel polish will not run away under the cuticle or on the side rollers, but will allow you to correct (paint) the element the way you want (as it blurs). The lines of the pattern are soft, smooth, with chic light and shade transitions;
- speed of work on creating and deleting an image.
The minimum time to create a manicure with the effect of spreading - 30 minutes. Using any gel polish remover (or in a coating remover), the design is removed from the nail in just 10 minutes!

As for the possible shortcomings, it is:
- the need to purchase a special base (Irisk is the basis of Wet Gel Polish - white, black and transparent), without it the effect of spreading will not work at all;
- full coverage with these gel polishes can not be done, since they are more decorative. However, you can create a multicolored marble effect by applying complementary colors in layers;
- these gel lacquers need to be stored and operated in compliance with all the rules for the treatment of shellac products, since they should not be diluted with a top with a hint of thickening and even with exactly the same new gel polish. Since the effect of semi-smoke will not be the same as it was originally intended. Yes, and experiments with resuscitation will have a negative effect on the timing of socks;
- since spreading requires space, such gel polishes, of course, will give greater scope for creativity on long nails;
- in contrast to the collections of classic gel polishes, new products are quantitatively not so numerous. That, however, is an additional reason for experiments with mixing colors among themselves.

Designs with a spreading effect are universal for any length and shape of nails. However, to make your fingers look as impressive as possible, select the ideas that are most expressive for your hands. So, for example, images suitable for short nails, where the pattern covers the entire surface. These are abstractions and sea subjects. They will help to advantageously present the shape of the nail and make the design a stylish and beautiful accent of the whole image.
Long nails are better to choose single and large images, or many small ones. Ideal - large flowers, stylized marble, stones, reptile skin. Medium length fits everything - from fine detail to whole images, pictures. Consider typical photo examples of popular nail art for watercolor gel polishes.
