Acquaintance with the material
Decorative material for decorating nails is called kamifubiki, or confetti. These are flat thin metal figures of different colors.
They are sold in boxes in a set of several colors (most often three). The word "kamifubiki" came to us from Japan. There, the application of such elements is called "paper storm", which in Japanese sounds like "camifurano".
The small components of such sets can be of various shapes: circles, stars, rhombuses, hearts and various other figures. Most often we use round plates of different sizes. Colorful and bright confetti on nails looks extremely impressive, festive. Therefore, often a manicure with kamifubiki is done by women for some significant events. It can be a birthday party, New Year's Eve or even a wedding.
Depending on the life case, this technique is used, the number of plates is selected. For everyday wear, you can take some confetti to apply to certain areas of the nail plate or cover one nail. For a bright holiday with a beautiful outfit, you can add sparkles and nails. On each finger put accent points from several pieces, and completely lay one or two nails with pieces of confetti.
Material benefits
Compared with rhinestones, this material has several advantages that positively characterize kamifubiki.
Thin plates have the smallest thickness and do not stand out on the nail. Over time, they do not break off, as is often the case with rhinestones. Manicure with kamifubiki strong and durable. The plates are under a layer of transparent gel polish and hold tight, you can absolutely not worry that they will fall off at the most inopportune moment.
The color scheme of confetti is so diverse that it allows you to take your imagination to the fullest. When manicuring with kamifubiks, the design can be very diverse, like the color combinations of the plates.
Application Method
If you have a kit for applying gel polish and a UV lamp, then you need to proceed according to a familiar scheme.
Manicure with kamifubikami is easy. First you need to carefully prepare the surface of the nail for applying varnish. The nail plate must be degreased, after which the base layer is applied. It is dried under a UV lamp.
Then the main color of the gel polish is applied, again the drying process for 2 minutes. When applying the topcoat, we do not polymerize, but first we heat the kamifubiks, placing them in the right place, in the planned order. The ideas of a manicure with kamifubiks need to be thought out in advance and choose the appropriate set that matches the basic tone of the varnish. Although the color of small particles can contrast dramatically with the fundamental tone. A matter of taste and creative ideas of the author.
Only after the correct arrangement of the pattern of small circles on the nail can you finally dry the finish under the lamp (also 2 minutes). The last fixer is applied and dried again. It remains only to remove the sticky layer with a special liquid.
All! You can shine with a new image at all parties for 2-3 weeks. During this time, you need to think through new design decisions well and surprise your friends or beloved in a new way.
Interesting ideas
Let's start with such a popular French manicure recently. The circles are placed along the line of the rounded part of the nail plate. You can extend the rim a bit down, adding rare intersperses of smaller circles, as if going to the "no".
For manicure "Lunar French" circles are placed around the cuticle, placing them in the shape of a semicircle.
For everyday manicure, you can also use shiny circles, but place them modestly, only on one or a maximum of two nails. The rest should not be too bright, it is better to be monophonic, because even one nail with kamifubiks can decorate a woman’s hands and attract the eyes of others.
Nail Placement
The location of the shiny parts on the nail can be very different. These are strips in the middle of the nail, and drawing from the smallest elements of patterns. You can choose circles of only one color and size, or you can arrange and diversify different ones. A matter of taste and imagination.
If a bright and defiant red manicure with kamifubiks is done, then it is better to place the confetti either on one nail, or on each, but a little and near the cuticle. Too variegated application of plates on such a bright red varnish will look vulgar. The main thing is not to overdo it .
The classic combination of red and black colors looks very beautiful and rich. On a deep black shade kamifubiki look very mysterious and give the manicure a certain solemnity.
On a gel polish of dark shades (blue, black, emerald, burgundy, brown), particles of bright contrasting colors are applied. This is the best decoration that does not require additional solutions. Confetti becomes more expressive if you apply a matte gel polish on top of the circles .
But pink manicure with kamifubiks should be gentle, not too bright elements are recommended. It can be light colors, pastel colors. Placing them on the nail should be thought out. French will look good.
