Simple nail art

1. Striped pattern. Buy self-adhesive strips for nail art. Apply a base coat to your nails. Paint the plates with varnish of the chosen color. Use self-adhesive stripes to shape geometric shapes. Do not cut the ends of the strips. Paint the nail plates and strips with a darker varnish. Wait for the varnish to dry out a bit, remove the strips. You will get a beautiful striped decor. Apply a finish coat to the plates and wait for it to dry.
2. Sponge drawing. Sometimes it is sponge that is used for nail art with gel polish. It turns out a beautiful gradient, smooth flowing from one color to another. To begin, apply the main color on the nails. Apply a slightly different varnish on the edge of the sponge. Press with a sponge on the edge of the marigold. You should get a smooth transition to a different tone. Fix everything with a top coating. In this way, you can draw trees on the nails. A sponge will help form a crown, and draw a trunk and branches with a brush.
3. Water manicure. This technique allows you to create a marble effect on the nail plates. Take a few varnishes of different colors, a toothpick, a cotton swab and a small container of water. In a container of water, drop a few drops of varnish in different shades. As a result of this, concentric circles should expand, expanding under the influence of drops. With a toothpick, make beautiful stains on the surface of the water from the varnish. Now dip each finger into the water with stains of varnish. Carefully remove your fingers and wait for the coating to dry. Acetone liquid remove excess varnish around the nails. Fix the nail art finish.
4. Drawings with adhesive tape. Blanks made of scotch tape make like a stencil. Take a piece of scotch tape, draw the desired image on it, cut it with a blade. The simplest thing that can be cut is a heart, a flower, a leaf, a pattern. Glue the template on the nail plate, paint over the desired color. Wait a bit and remove the stencil. The template does not need to be glued in the center, it can be done in any part of the nail plate. Such self-made stencils of scotch tape allow you to perform beautiful curly drawings.

Not everyone can perform real works of art on their nails, but don’t be upset - choose strips, dots, peas, geometric motifs, blots, stains. It is quite simple to carry out original monograms with a needle or an orange stick on the plates.

If you decide to go to the salon, you can choose for your picture a real canvas with a finished plot and compositional center. The master will think over all the nuances of the shades, elaboration of the volume and detailing. Often, nail art specialists use an unusual trend when the drawing is not done on one nail, but stretched from one nail plate to another. All this is complemented by special materials to give texture and volume. Often use powder, paste, sand, structural gels and enamels. It looks pretty impressive using volumetric jewelry - rhinestones, stones, broths, peas and pearls. Inspire the ideas of drawings in nail art, come up with your own decor, create masterpieces!
