The boundless imagination of manicure masters has no boundaries. In beauty salons, more and more unique ideas are born, which are embodied on the nails of modern fashionistas. To create fashionable manicure patterns, the simplest home-use items that have nothing to do with cosmetology tools, such as, for example, adhesive tape, began to be used.
Such a method was found only in the past (2011) year, but has already gained popularity among lovers of the original and stylish manicure. Most importantly, it does not require any skills and special manicure tools. Manicure with adhesive tape requires items such as:
- Ordinary adhesive tape, the color of which does not matter. But the degree of stickiness is important in this case, since the manicure itself depends on this. To choose the right tape, you must initially test it by sticking it on the surface of the nail. If after removal there are traces, then it is better not to use it.
- Nail polishes in two colors, which should be chosen independently to your taste. You can use a combination of shades such as pink and purple, as well as silver in combination with other colors that suit it.
- Fixer for manicure, which will help protect it from damage and prevent quick exfoliation of varnish.
- Spangles, rhinestones and other design elements for manicure with which you can decorate the surface of the nail as desired. They will give your nails saturation and brightness.
After all the items for the manicure are collected, proceed to the first step. Manicure with adhesive tape should begin with the application of a base coat of varnish, the color of which you have already chosen yourself. To do this, simply apply it to the surface of the nail and wait until it dries. It is very important that the first layer is completely dry, and the quality that will characterize the design of nails with adhesive tape depends on this. To speed up the drying process, you can use a regular hairdryer. Also an effective way will be a cold trickle of water, under which you need to substitute your nails.
After that, carefully cut the adhesive tape in the form of geometric shapes. These can be, for example, triangles, which will be most easily glued to the nail. Then paste them on top of the dried varnish layer. This should be done with the base closer to the end of the nail so that the corner is directed towards the cuticle.
After that, apply a different color of varnish, which we prepared in advance. Do it right on top of the tape. Places that he did not cover can be decorated with rhinestones and sparkles as desired. After everything dries, carefully remove the tape. To do this, it is best to use tweezers. Then we apply a fixing varnish - and the manicure with the help of adhesive tape is ready.
It should be remembered that in this case we used triangles as a design stencil. But you can cut out other forms of geometric shapes that will help you to make a stylish and beautiful manicure with scotch tape.
In addition, you can use special strips for French manicure instead of scotch tape. They are much easier to remove from the surface of the nail and leave no residue. In this case, you definitely will not have the question "how to wash the tape from the nail?".
One has only to include imagination and the design of your manicure will be unique and unique. Use a variety of decorative elements to help you decorate your nails in a peculiar style. Also remember that the colors selected for manicure must be combined with each other. You can use special ready-made drawings for nails.
As you can see, manicure with adhesive tape does not require special professional skills and is quite simple. Experiment and be trendy!
