Sequins and Simple Feathers Manicure
The easiest way to draw a feather on a nail is to draw it with a thin brush and one color of gel polish. If you want to create a beautiful and gentle manicure, we suggest paying attention to the next option. In order to repeat this design, you will need a set of gel polishes, LED-lamp and tools for nails.
When everything you need is ready, you can get to work.
How to make a manicure with beautiful feathers?
1. First of all, prepare a bath with sea salt. Warm water with salt will help bring your hands in proper shape and soften rough skin. Hold the handles in the bath for about 10-15 minutes. Then proceed to remove the cuticle. This can be done with tweezers or sticks made of orange wood.
2. The next step is the creation of the form. Remember the most important rule of perfect manicure: nails should be the same length. All. With no exceptions. Even if you are very sorry to say goodbye to the extended length due to one broken nail on the little finger.
3. When the form is ready, lightly walk over the nails with a soft buff. This will give them uniformity and the varnish will fall better. Degrease the nail plates.
4. Apply primer to all nails. This tool helps gel polish to gain a foothold and prolong the life of manicure. It does not need to be dried in a lamp, since the primer dries in air in 2-3 seconds.
5. Apply a thin but even layer of base gel polish and dry under the lamp for 1 minute. Then apply the same color gel polish in the same way. Make only thin layers of the coating, otherwise they will not dry out enough and spoil the whole manicure afterwards.
6. To draw feathers on the nails, take a thin brush with a long artificial pile. After dipping it in black gel polish, draw a semicircular line. Next, draw thin lines from it, without gaining additional varnish. So the pen will turn out to be more realistic and light.
7. After drying the design under the lamp, apply the final gel polish. Be sure to seal each of the nails, i.e., walk with a semi-dry brush with a top on the end. Without drying the top, glue rhinestones on the nails and gently push them into the coating. Only then dry the manicure with feathers under the lamp. You will get a very beautiful and feminine nail design!
Peacock feather
And here is another idea of a luxurious manicure, but with peacock feathers. As you know, the feathers of this bird are incredible beauty and brightness. So why not repeat them on your nails?
In this manicure you will need a little more time and skill than in the previous one. After covering the nail with white dense gel polish, you can start drawing. First draw the outline of the colored “core” of the feather. You can only do this with a very thin brush. Next, fill the peacock eye stepwise with colored gel polishes. Dry each layer if you want to avoid mixing shades. With a thin brush, draw the base of the feather and the lines extending from it. Make confident movements, but do not press too hard on the brush so that the stripes do not turn out to be thick. Such a design is more suitable for a festive event or celebration!
Pink manicure and feather with sparkles
If you are looking for a nice manicure with feathers for every day, then we recommend choosing something more calm. For example, pale pink pastel design with one feather on the ring finger.
To make such a pen is easy. All you need is a shiny and black gel polish and a brush with a long thin pile. Make a classic manicure with gel polish, as described above, and take up the pen.
For this design, the feather starts from the top edge of the nail. Then it goes to its base. In this figure, the pen base is missing and the lines come from one point. When the pen is ready, dry it in a lamp and cover with a layer of gold spangles, applying them with a thin layer on top of it. Gentle manicure with a feather is ready!
How to make a manicure with natural feathers?
If you want something like that, we suggest trying to make a nail design from real feathers. It sounds unusual, but the fact remains. It turns out that girls who have long understood the advantage of such a design over art painting are using this technique with might and main. After all, what can a bird's feather so clearly repeat if not for itself?
In order to create such a manicure, you will need 10 or less thin feathers. Apply all layers of gel polish to the nails as described previously, except for the top. It is advisable to use a light substrate, so that the manicure with feathers looks more impressive.
Just cover your nails with topcoat and put a feather on it, as shown in the photo. Dry in the lamp and when the feather “grows together” with the nail, cut off the excess and fix it with another layer of the top.
Sticker manicure
And the most elementary way to decorate nails with feathers is to do this with stickers. All you need to do is to get beautiful sliders and stick them on your nails before applying top gel polish. The photo shows a white manicure with feathers.
If you use sliders without an adhesive base, then you need to cut out the picture and, having slightly moistened it, transfer the thin film to the fingernail. After it dries, cover the nail with the top. Manicure with stickers with feathers looks original and as beautiful as with hand-painted.
