Nail art is a fascinating experience for many, And today's fashion allows you to create spectacular drawings on your nails, even if you can hardly call yourself an expert in matters of accuracy and symmetry. We show examples of a simple, but very beautiful manicure, which you can repeat yourself at home watching your favorite series or show the master if you do not want to choose a french or a classic gloss in wine tones again.
Drawings under the nails
To paint the back side of the nail did not begin yesterday - for example, such a manicure was shown by Christian Louboutin in promotional materials for the launch of a collection of lacquers in 2014. This idea, nevertheless, remains unobvious, but in vain: on rather long nails, an inconspicuous print or a color combined with other elements of a manicure looks very good.
Use a latex protective agent to keep your fingers clean. If you have the time and mood, try gluing transparent or holographic glitter for design on the inner sides of the nails. It is necessary to use base and the top covering in the same way, as well as at more usual types of manicure.
Decorations
The memory of the monstrous compositions of acrylic flowers is still alive in our hearts, but the compositions of metal elements is really a good alternative that I want to try. For example, on the edge of the nail or at the cuticle, you can glue the pieces of flexible wire, and on the long false nails do the piercing. Wire, tiny spikes and rings, and at the same time rhinestones of unusual shape can be found in handicraft shops.
The easiest way to build such objects is still on false nails, which you can then simply stick and calmly go about your business. Details choose light and not bulky, so that they can be easily seated directly on the lacquer layer, arm with tweezers and press the necessary part tightly to the nail for a few seconds.
Cuticle Tattoo
Gaining momentum instagram trend offers to frame the nails with small laconic drawings (Rihanna is already in the know). Running to the master for a long-term tattoo is optional: you can choose from a variety of translation tattoos, make a henna pattern or even use a resistant gel pencil or liner for this purpose. A great option for those who have a soul that doesn’t lie too much for compound nail-cards, but you still want a holiday: a cuticle tattoo will be made of a classic nude manicure with its bold version.
Manicure with blank space
Also a fashionable trick that can be beaten in dozens of tracks. To begin with, cover the nails with a transparent base, and then add a color bar, paint exactly half of the nail or make a simple geometric nail art. Thanks to this technique, almost any textures look great, and the unfinished nails with glitter-confetti, small sparkles or gold flakes, which we used to see in the obligatory company of colored lacquer, look particularly impressive.
Ombre with glitter
Last year, the Internet went around a video in which we were finally shown how to properly apply varnishes with glitter, and everyone who did not understand what to do with it had a second chance. It is not necessary to completely cover the nails with a thick layer of glitter: use a sponge to apply them on the edge of the nail or on the hole, and for the ombre effect, add a little more glitter with a brush to create a blurred border.
On the nails - hurray! - you can use any glitter, so the same trick can be done not with varnish, but with a crumbly glitter for nail art or needlework: the manicure will look voluminous, and you can choose the desired size.
Matte finish
The easiest way to give a manicure a different look is to make it matte. A variety of brands have a variety of matte varnishes from ordinary to gel today, but it is better to invest in a topcoat with a matte effect: it will help to achieve the desired result from almost any colored varnish. Matte tops are confidently friendly with dark saturated colors, but nude shades cannot always transform - it is still better to buy their matte versions separately or ask for such a manicure in the salon.
Holographic manicure
Holographic effects on all parts of the body today are in high esteem, and nail art is no exception. We really like how transparent false nails look like a rainbow - these can be found in many specialty stores and covered with holographic varnish. The necessary coatings of different colors can be found in the ILNP brand, you can also use powder or pigment, which are applied to the color base and create the very cosmic play.
Simple contour lines
Graphic nail art today captivates many. It is not as complicated in performance as gradients and prints, but it looks no less interesting. After the basecoat has dried, add contrasting stripes on either side of the nail, circle the hole carefully, or use a ribbon for design. It can be glued, making it an independent manicure element, or used as a stencil - then the nail section under the tape can be left “naked”, according to the above-mentioned trend, and you can combine nude strips with a bright or dark saturated shade.
Manicure on the holes
Another good answer to the French manicure: instead of adding colors to the tips of the nails, you can paint the nail in the hole. This form as if repeats the natural shape of the nail, but it looks very avant-garde. Here again, a latex-based liquid or protective tape will come to the rescue: many of us are used to dyeing our nails, without bringing the color to the cuticle a little, but in this case you need to start applying the color from the bottom.
