How to apply rubbing: top 5 video tutorials

Nail rub is a shiny acrylic powder designed to create a bright manicure by rubbing it in. The particles of this product themselves are so small that when applied, due to their tight fit to each other, the effect of an absolutely smooth surface is created. Thanks to the use of this miracle product, you can get metallic, mirror and even pearlescent highlights on your nails.

Applying the rub is quite simple, so almost every master can use it in their work. And although there are a huge number of types of rubbing, the technique of applying it is almost the same, if you do not take into account the creative approach of the masters.

Preparation for the procedure

Before creating a nail design using the rub, you must do a hygienic manicure, and then carefully polish the surface of the nail with a special sanding file so that the rub lays in an even layer when applied. The ideally smooth surface of the nail plate must be degreased and a base applied, then dried in a lamp.

Nail coating

Next, you should apply the selected shade of the colored gel polish layer to your nails and dry again. After this, cover the nail with topcoat and dry it, taking into account that the drying time must be halved, taking into account the type and power of the lamp.

Applying rub

To begin, scoop up a small amount of the product and apply it to the still warm nail plate immediately after drying it in the lamp. On the coating with a still sticky layer, rub nail powder with the desired effect using an applicator or your finger.

If you want to get a matte mirror effect, wipe your nails with a damp cloth before applying the rub. Remove any remaining polish from the nail plate using a soft brush and rub the nail again with a clean finger to restore its shine.

After this, you need to apply a glossy top coat on top, dry it and remove the dispersion layer.
