Modern ladies are extremely demanding on manicure. Ordinary colored varnishes are not enough for anyone. This pushes to search for more and more new ideas. That is why most girls are increasingly thinking about how to do water manicure at home. Why? Because it is unusual and original. Moreover, you can combine incongruous, to show imagination and creativity.
So, before you do a water manicure at home, it will take a little preparation. In particular, material and tools. Required:
- a bowl of warm water;
- colored varnishes of liquid consistency;
- greasy cream or narrow tape;
- dots or a thin stick (a toothpick, for example);
- nail polish remover or manicure pencil;
- base for varnish and fixing agent.
Additionally, a cotton swab or cotton pads may be required. Oddly enough, water manicure on short nails looks especially original and cute.
A little tip: depending on the length of the nails, you need to choose the number of mixed varnishes. Two colors are enough short, and long ones have a place to turn around. Three or more colors can be used.
Before you make a water manicure at home, choose the most successful combination. Classics are black and white, black and red, white and red.
The procedure itself is simple:
- Remove the cuticle.
- File your nails to the desired length and shape.
- Put the main color varnish into water.
- Then a few drops extra.
- Apply cream to the skin around the nails or glue it with electrical tape.
- On a colored stain of varnish, draw a pattern with dots or a toothpick.
- Submerge nails under water, under a varnish.
- Slowly pull out the nails to fix the pattern.
- Remove excess varnish from cream or electrical tape.
- Apply a fixative.
In addition, you need to degrease the nails before immersion in water and apply the base under the varnish. It needs to be dried naturally in air or under a special hairdryer for manicure. Only 10 steps - and to know the nails will be simply impossible.
You can choose a picture and a pattern absolutely any, whatever you like. You can first look at the photos depicting a water manicure in a nail art magazine. What matters is not the instruction, but the picture itself. Repeating the design will not be difficult even for a beginner in nail art. Get ready in advance for the fact that the first time it may come out not at all what you expected. But sometimes this is a real masterpiece.
To know how to make a water manicure at home, you just need to follow the instructions. The base under the varnish will help protect the plates from absorbing color. In addition, this manicure will last much longer. By experimenting with color, you can achieve a unique result. Varnishes do not fit:
- thickened;
- with craquelure effect;
- velvet.
Remember, during the creation of the drawing, the tool should not pierce it, only slightly slide. If the first time did not work, do not despair. Skill comes with experience. The more often you try, the easier, more original and more interesting the pattern and your image will be in the end. Have a good experiment!
