What are velvet nails as a nail trend in 2022?
When it gets colder and darker outside, we immediately want to wrap ourselves in cozy fabrics and clothing. From dresses, sweaters, pants to sofas, velvet is currently taking over the fashion world and can be seen everywhere. And now the soft and luxurious fabric is making its way onto the beauty scene in the form of Velvet Nails. Velvet nails are the latest nail trend to land on our radar and we can't get enough of them.
What sets Velvet Nails apart is the shimmering, slightly metallic look that looks like velvet in direct sunlight. The mix of metallic and glitter effects creates the illusion of texture and transforms our fingernails into real eye-catchers. Whether in soft nude colors, pastel shades, dark red, for long nails or asNail design for square nails– Velvet nails always work and we can feel the fluffy texture even when we look at them.
Do your own velvet nails: it's that easy!
Some nail trends actually look a lot more complicated than they actually are and that's exactly the case with Velvet Nails. Unlike other nail designs, you don't need a nail salon appointment to get the silky, velvety look. To really show off your nail design, it's best to use Shellac or gel polish and work with a UV lamp. But enough talk - make your fingernails shine and find out here how to do velvet nails yourself.
Materials required:
- Base- und Top-Coat
- Matte nail polish in a color of your choice
- Glitter polish in the same shade or alternatively effect powder with glitter
- UV-Lampe
Make velvet nails yourself:
- First file the nails into the desired shape and remove the cuticles.
- Apply a thin layer of base coat and let it dry under a UV lamp.
- Next, paint your fingernails with nail polish and let them dry. It is best to apply 2 coats.
- And now you have two options to choose from - you can either use a glitter polish or an effect powder with glitter. Before applying the powder, you should remove the sweat layer. With nail polish, however, you first let the layer of color underneath harden completely under the UV lamp.
- Finally, seal with a thin layer of top coat and you're done - it's that easy to make velvet nails yourself.
