Is this pattern possible with ordinary varnish?

If you do not have the opportunity to make a pattern with gel polish or turn to professionals for this type of service, then you can easily make it yourself and ordinary varnish. But be prepared for the fact that it will take a sufficient amount of time to dry each layer. Work sequence.

Volume knitting on nails

How to make a winter manicure "sweater" voluminous? In order to make the picture more voluminous and "woolen", we will reveal a little secret.

For a more voluminous picture, it is better to choose a gel polish. But this procedure can be done with the usual.

All the preparatory work is exactly as in the previous paragraphs.

As soon as the work of applying the picture in several layers is completed and the nails are well dried, we will give our “sweater” a more “woolen” surface.

To do this, use velvet sand.

If you use sand, then the strokes of the "knitting" will be enough to make only two layers. After the second layer has dried in the lamp, cover it with velvet sand and dry the nails again. Drying time depends on the lamp. If you have UV - up to two minutes, if the LED-lamp - 30 seconds.

After drying, brush off excess sand with a brush. Winter manicure "sweater" (with imitation wool knitting) is ready.

Such a pattern should not be covered with a finish. Otherwise, the whole effect will be lost behind the glossy finish.

How to make a “sweater” on nails

In order to make a unique manicure "sweater" and various winter patterns, you will not need so much. Just your imagination. Here are some tips.

If we talk about ordinary varnish, then it is not necessary to do such a laborious job with applying multiple layers. It is enough to take two contrasting colors, for example, black and white. Use black as the base coat and white knit patterns.

To give velvetiness to the pattern, you can use acrylic powder. Its application is similar to velvet sand.

There is also a sufficient number of finished slides, or in another way - stickers, with imitation of a sweater.

To diversify a manicure "knitted sweater" you can use rhinestones and sparkles.

It is also recommended that there are only a few “knitted nails”, and not everyone, otherwise there may be an excess of patterns, and it will look tasteless.

Try and experiment. After all, it is fantasy and taste that will make your image individual.
