At your fingertips: a variety of textures in nail art
Nail art is being actively rethought today.: Manicure has ceased to be perceived as a means of bringing the nails to the state of "well-groomed." Today they can be not only an additional part of the image, but also a real accessory. Enthusiastic about decorating this part of the body, they experiment not only with colors and shapes, but also with textures and materials: for example, last week brought us the idea of planting the most real succulents at our finger tips. This is not the limit - in recent years, interest and instagram gave us thousands of options for non-standard manicure.
How it all started
Nail art as another way of self-expression and the type of manicure skill gained popularity in the 2010s. Then, on the countless pages of a tambler, it was possible to find not only landscapes painted by virtuosos, but also examples of quite viable and effective manicure. Stamping and applications were in use - quite ordinary techniques that were best managed by the professionals. In the salons, however, nail art was understood narrowly: the prerequisite of the program was the fancy long acrylic nails, studded with acrylic flowers.
Meanwhile, out of the general interest in spectacular minimalism, the fashion for a variety of textures was born, which immediately caught on the podium. Metallic was spotted at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week back in 2010. To this day, silver, gold and bronze nails actively appear in many shows - they look like a jewelry accessory and are appropriate in all situations. Since then, the manicure thought has gone far and a sea of interesting experiments has appeared. Frankly instagram trends were also noticed - the nail art with fur from last year’s Libertine show doesn’t give rest to many, although it was beaten more than once. To mess with the velvet finish, which is created using a flock (small particles of wool, cotton and other fabrics), we were offered back in 2012. In general, the reproduction of natural or synthetic textures is the main course of recent years: masters imitate glass, marble, experiment with unlimited glitter and a holographic effect on a variety of ways. Succulents, of course, from the same company, although we do not exclude that this is teasing over fashion for everything natural.
Why do you need it
Firstly, it is beautiful. Secondly, it's great to realize that nail art is not only a process of painstaking line drawing with a thin brush: tools and tools are becoming more and more comfortable to use, and a lot of interesting ideas can be easily reproduced at home. Bright manicure, as already noted, is a self-sufficient decoration that adds special chic to everyday looks and is able to diversify the solemn ones. In addition, it is not necessary to torment your own nails, conjuring over their growing and creating the appropriate form. For experiments, the overheads are especially good, worthy representatives of which are in the assortment of many brands.
How to do it
The most luxurious and inexpensive false nails can always be found in H & M - they are quite wearable, and their shape and size are good for any current design. Beautiful and ready to use can also be found on ASOS - pay attention to the brand WAH London. Powder-grinding, which helps to create the very mirror effect, can be found at Born Pretty - the online store delivers orders to Russia without any problems. There you can also buy thousands of jars with glitters and sequins, including for manicure using the "shattered glass" technique, which was sensational a year ago. Similar pigments are in the domestic brand Dance Legend.
If the luminous glow of you is rather annoying, even the most ordinary matte coating in combination with your favorite polish can add variety to your manicure, and the piercing, the version of which we showed in our shooting, is an excellent alternative to glitter and sequins. Flock for velvety nails can be bought from the available brands: for example, Catrice has the classic red - it is difficult to make a mistake in the search for this product. Remember that you will have to wear powder without a coating in order to keep exactly the look that is supposed to, which means that you will leave tiny hairs everywhere - which, however, is not an obstacle for a party. Metallic manicure and cope with varnishes (for the wow effect, choose one that will give extra smoothness and shine), and stickers for nail design. Do not forget that in your order also any materials for needlework from hobby stores.
