An on-trending manicure in Lakewood CO is Velvet manicure. Subtle and still such a statement!
What is Velvet nail art?
From leggings and dresses to couches and even lamps, velvet textiles are taking over. And now, the luxuriously soft fabric is making its way to the beauty scene with nails that seem to mimic the beloved fuzzy finish. Fittingly, this new nail trend has been dubbed velvet nails. Velvet nails are the latest manicure trend to hit our radar and we’re more than a little obsessed. These manicures are characterized by shimmering, semi-metallic polishes that, in the right light, look just like velvet.
Now, this year’s velvet nail trend is not to be confused with the manicure trend that involved velvet textured stick-on nails a couple of years back, no, the velvet hook in this year’s velvet manicure trend lies in the way this particular nail look shimmers in the light. The nail polish used (normally gel polish) is made with very finely milled glitter that, when painted onto your nails, reflects the light in the same way that a luxe crushed velvet might.
What Nail Polish Should I Use For A Velvet Manicure?
You don’t want just any old glitter polish. The glitter needs to be very finely milled for the ultimate crushed velvet effect.
Unlike some nail trends, velvet nails typically rely solely on the velvety appeal to make a statement. While some artists will use the finish—which is most often created with flocking powder or magnetic polishes—to create elevated French manicures or abstract designs, for the most part, it comes down to perfectly-painted solid velvet shades. And, there are many. From sage green and amethyst to champagne and burnt orange, there are plenty of different hues to choose from.
Remember, you can achieve a velvet finish even if you don’t dedicate your full nail to the trend. And, if you want to have even more fun with it, consider opting for different nail colors on each hand.
