We remind you that a beautiful bright manicure is a wonderful occasion for your own positive emotions and self-confidence, it improves mood and pleases the eye. Therefore, choosing a design, you should focus not on the trends and prescriptions of stylists, but on what the soul lies to.
If your soul asks for bright colors - then our article is for you. We have compiled a whole selection of ideas for manicure with bright varnishes, as well as prepared a detailed guide to action. Of course, some types of design can only be handled by those who already have some experience working with modern materials. But even a beginner can easily accomplish some.
Trends Overview
Knowing about the latest news is not to blindly follow them, but rather to expand their horizons. Manufacturers do not get tired of delighting fans with new products, and some products instantly gain wild popularity.
One of the latest such innovations is the spider line gel, the toffee gel. To complete the design, it is enough to cover the nail with bright varnish, and then, picking up a drop of “spider line” with a brush, start pulling a thin thread, forming strokes. The gel works by itself, you may not even be able to draw!
Another fashionable thing - 3D sliders. This is a finished design, which has not only a form, but also a volume. This season, the popularity of sliders with daring and ironic inscriptions in Russian like “Eat. Pray. Lose weight ”,“ I love people, but it’s not certain ”and“ Arphagraphy died ”. They are used for quick designs - just stick on top of painted nails. You can use not just bright, but even neon and luminescent varnishes.
Kamifubuki of various shapes, “broken glass”, color blocking do not lose relevance. Motley Chinese painting and marble design do not lose ground. Some relevant ideas of bright manicure with gel polish deserve special attention and detailed consideration, so we will pay special attention to them.
Actual colors
To pay tribute is the luxurious gamut of purple and lilac, juicy greens, rich red-wine palette. Classic red is generally a color for all time; many fashionistas simply adore it. Sunny yellow shades are appropriate both in the summer and in the cold season, when you really want warmth and bright colors. At any time of the year, you can please yourself with juicy shades of ripe fruit: cherry, plum, lime, orange.
But by and large, to implement the idea of ​​manicure in bright colors, you can choose any favorite colors of varnish and decorative elements. The main rule is that they should be harmoniously combined with each other.
Before work
Before starting the design, perform hygiene procedures, tidy the cuticle, give the nails the same shape and length. Degrease the surface, apply the primer and let it dry. Cover the nails with a base and dry in a lamp. Further steps depend on the design chosen.
Geometry
Apply a layer of white varnish, dry. Place colorful bright blots on the surface, but do not rush to send them to the lamp. Using a small crumpled piece of film or cellophane, create a texture and only then polymerize the material.
The surface may turn out to be heterogeneous, but this does not need to be scared. Apply a dense coat of a thick base, turn the nail over and let the material level out. Bake in the lamp.
For drawing in this case, it is better to use gel paints, they are denser and more textured than acrylic. With a synthetic linear brush, apply a geometric pattern, dry and cover the work with a top.
Work out better on tips. And when you will be doing manicure on natural nails, use a liquid tape to protect the cuticle and side rollers.
Abstraction
This design is perfect for long extended nails of any shape. Draw a large dots of several round and oval spots of different colors on the free edge of the nail. Post them randomly. Stroke with black gel paint, after drying, cover the design with the top.
To implement this idea, you can use not only paints and a brush, but also a dense liner. You can get a luxurious result by applying the "Casting" technique to create a stroke. For color windows, varnishes and paints (acrylic, gel or stained glass) are suitable.
Spot painting
The process of creating such a picture is long, but very entertaining, even meditative. It can be compared to drawing mandalas or weaving dream catchers.
It will take 2-3 dots of different sizes and dense gel paints in several colors.
You need to start drawing a pattern from the center. Then the rays are made: up, down, right and left, to the corners. Use dots of different sizes as you move away from the center. To prevent the dots from spreading, periodically dry the paint in the lamp (10-15 seconds are enough). After finishing work, carry out a full polymerization (drying time is indicated on a jar of paint).
If the paints do not have a sticky layer, you can not overlap the pattern with the top.
You can also perform such a design with gel varnishes, but only highly pigmented ones that can be applied in one layer will do. Otherwise, the points will be translucent, the design will seem poorly designed.
Minimalism
If you are not confident in yourself as an artist, do not abandon spectacular designs. Just choose those that do not require artistic skills.
Such an idea of ​​a bright manicure for short nails and medium length will do. On very long ones it may look a little boring.
You only need to draw a few thin black lines with gel paint, liner or paste. Ready-made stencils or sticker strips can be used. On several nails, draw frames with windows of any shape: triangular, polygonal, trapezoidal.
Carefully color these geometric shapes with vibrant colors. It is enough to make 2-3 such accents, and leave the rest of the nails plain. After coating with a top, remove the stickiness, if any.
Neon pigment
Powder pigments are an excellent material that is easy to use and gives a good result. A manicure made with their use looks very bright and stylish. But here it is important - not to overdo it.
Cover the nail with black polish, dry. Draw a monogram with white paint with a dispersion layer (only gel will do). After drying, immediately apply colored pigments to the stickiness with the applicator. In trampling movements, drive colored dust into the monogram to completely block the white lines. Dry a little in the lamp, and then remove the excess with a brush. Cover with a glossy top.
You can use pigments for the next idea of ​​manicure in bright colors. In the same way, apply bright dust on a white background, cover with a thin layer of liquid base, and then stamp with black paint. A thin dark pattern will look very expressively against a motley background, and at the same time a little balance excessive brightness.
Watercolor
For drawing on nails, you can use special watercolor varnishes, and the most ordinary stationery paints, for example, honey. Designs made with the help of the novelty - the special material “Watercolor drops” look very impressive.
A little trick: to make the drawing easier, the glossy background needs to be either buffed or covered with a satin, velor or matte top.
Using the example of the following design with snails, we will analyze the technology. First, all nails need to be covered with plain varnish, dry it and cover with a top. On those nails where the drawing will be located, make the markup with a simple pencil. Well, if at hand there is a proportionate sketch, which you can navigate.
After sketching the snail, begin to cover the watercolor shell. Move from the center to the edges. Blur the borders of the spots to make the picture voluminous. In the same way, cover the body of the snail, draw horns.
Wait for the watercolors to dry in the air (you do not need to dry it in the lamp). Cover the design with a top-notch product, remove the stickiness. With a thin linear brush, add some strokes to make the drawing complete: shadows, highlights, curls of the shell. Use both black and white paint, add gold or silver if desired. Those materials that do not provide a dispersion layer are best suited.
The watercolor technique suggests some negligence, but in general the drawing should look neat.
Volumetric painting
Such patterns today are at the peak of popularity. But in order to decorate their own nails with them, you need to practice a lot. It’s even better to take a training course: in our time there are a lot of them both in real life and on the Web.
To create fantasy drawings in this technique, you can use multi-colored gel and acrylic paints. But not everyone has a sufficient palette at hand. You can go the other way - gradually apply color elements with white paint and sprinkle with colored acrylic powder or velvet sand. This technique allows you to create three-dimensional images.
Before drawing on the nail, it is advisable to make a sketch. The background on which the decor will be performed, as in the case of watercolor, should be buffed or covered with a matte top. A sketch can be made with a simple pencil.
Sweet bloom
Another novelty managed to fall in love with many masters. Those who have experience drawing graphic patterns complete the entire design by hand. You can make the task a little easier with the help of ready-made solutions - sliders with contours for Sweet Bloom (they are sold in the departments of materials for nail art).
You should take care of special paints created to embody such ideas of bright manicure. It is clearly seen in the photo that each element has a volume: in the middle, the drop is larger, and closer to the contour, it disappears.
If you use contour sliders, it will take relatively little time to complete the design. Cover the nail with background varnish, then top, dry it and gently glue the contour. Fill the cells with paints. A drop should be placed in the center of the window, and then stretch the corners, filling in the entire outlined space. So you can achieve the desired effect - get a volumetric color image.
If you decide to draw the contours yourself, you need to start with them. Before color painting, the contour must be dried. These paints do not need overlapping with the top and do not give a dispersion layer during polymerization.
